This one shows he couldn't get guns as he so vehemently protested.  Please note the view sliders are in the default position.  So no making it look good for me self. :P

Hello Lynx,

No confusion here Sir, that was definitely a high angle deflection shot.  This is a perfect example of why channel 200 is not good for the state of gameplay in AH.  Both complainers show little or no manners and certainly no understanding of what occurred.   Maybe they could add etiquette classes to the TA for those that can't control their mouths...

Have a great day,

Way

Hell I wouldn't even call the second one a Ho he had no guns on you at that point. A few more seconds though & it would have from my perspective.

As I have often said "One mans head on is another mans high deflection shot"  This was not a head on obviously some people like to give excuses why they were shot down rather than admit you made a clean kill.

A lot of Head-On complaints are dependent on the point-of-view of the user's front end.  I think it frequently happens that from the shooter's point-of-view, it's a front quarter shot, while from the victim's front end it's much closer to nose-to-nose.

It also happens that the shooter will say it's not a Head-On because the intended victim tried to avoid the Head-On.  I had a fight with Joey's P-51D (of tonyjoey) in a 38L the other day, and he tried for the Head-On shot in the initial merge.  I tried to avoid the Head-On, took a ping, and went on to shoot him down.  Then I asked "why did you HO on the initial merge?"  He answered "I didn't HO, that was a front quarter shot."  Yeah, only because I didn't try to HO too. :lol :rolleyes:

Yes, it is to an extent.  However, the Head-On can be properly avoided with advantage provided that you are not at too great an energy deficit, i.e. try to avoid a HO-crazy N1K if you're only doing 150mph and he's at 225mph. :lol

The question you've yet to answer, is was this the first merge?

If it was the first merge it's (IMO) poor form to take the shot...  But if this all happened during the course of the fight, I don't really know what Bodhi expects.
