Hoing defined ?
« on: January 13, 2009, 10:48:02 PM »
Can someone explain to me how hoing works?  When I go in with someone, I've become rather good at getting kill shots and turning away, but many times the guy turns with me and everytime even though it appears we missed by 50+ feet, I see a collision msg.  Sure enough, I fall out of the sky while the other guy ...smoking...flies on.

It appears that if the other guy hits you from the top or right side, you lose...so I just try to avoid the fight till I can get a familiar altitude with him to take it to a more 'proper' fight.

sincraft.  If you're able to reply back within the next 1/2 hour I'll meet you in the TA to go over this topic with you.  That is if you have the time for it.

I've logged from the TA for the evening, but the offer still stands.  Feel free to PM me, or catch one of the other trainers.

It is usually hard to know how much damage is caused by collision and how much by the enemy shooting at you in a HO situation.

Just remember that there is no such thing as getting HOed.
If it is a HO, you are also doing it, just as much as the enemy. Anything else is at most a front quarter shot and a failed evasion happening at the same time :)

If both pilots can take the shot at the same time its a ho. So dont pull the trigger!

Why on earth would one point his plane right at the other one's face with no intention to pull the trigger? :rofl

Even more weird, what else can the enemy think if one points his guns at his face... "maybe that guy has no intention to shoot... maybe he is just pointing his guns at my face for some other reason"  :huh

I'd say that if you decide to go for HO, absolutely always pull the trigger! If you decide not to pull the trigger, don't fly to anyone's face.

Well... I very seldom end up into a HO situation. I rather land my kills than risk it all for just one kill.
But when I do (e.g. plane badly damaged and no hope of getting back home, or fighting alone as an underdog against several enemies), it is my own decision to go for it.

Only those who feel victimized and die in their own HO:s bother whining about HO:s or call other players HO:ers  :P

Why would any one want to define it.....They might have to live by a standard if they did that... :devil


Typical definition is Both pilots have a gun solution at the same time......

which is the hotards excuse. when you're merging them, they turn head on into you....with full intention of firing. you turn, slip, dive....whatever avoidence maneuver you choose.....you take ur guns off them. if your evasive was unsuccessful, and you call em on it, they call it a deflection shot, because you didn't have a guns solution. BS. it was a friggin ho.  perhaps if they'd take the offers of help from the likes of murdr, hammer, and other trainers, they;d learn how to fight, and not need to ho in the first place.

 friggin tards......... :mad: :furious
