A HO?

[JunkyII]

No.

A ho is a ho no matter when it occurs. Why ruin a good fight. The only time a ho may be acceptable in my book is when you are greatly out numbered.

Your a HO then... IMO, if your gunna take HO shots at all dont complain if its in a 1v1 or not. I personally dont HO at all even in the biggest gangbangs, also these so called "hot merges" I personally think people shouldnt shoot at someone who stumbles near their gunsights while being chased by other planes, when you have someone on your six your only task at the time should be setting them up for someone else to kill(if thats how you play) or moving out of the enemies sights to set up an overshoot or a possible reverse

LOL junky your wrong on so many levels. If 5 guys jump my low 38 and want to rumble fine.... but I'll take any shot I have in that case because they are already over the line. That is telling them that the 5 together may out fly me. Just as 1 vs 1 if one of them HOs they are saying the same. Two or 3 cons can often be dispensed with by just mixing them up. Heck in LW arenas you can pretty much fly a goon and get kills. There are a lot of very green individuals in those numbers.

whatever the deal.....Me and many others that have scolded those that HO are seeing the fruits of those that supported it all those years....HOing is prevelant these days...I logged on last night in Blue and upped a base...I ran into 4 cons...all of them went straight for the HO everytime....even when I dodged them, their next pass was HO.....might as well be Aces Joust!

[BlauK]

That must be a record... U can HO with 4 planes at the same time?

Or maybe you mean that you turned right into their faces every time one of them came at you?  (= you HOed them all every time)

I don't use the Ho as part of my gameplay, mainly because it feels like an act of disrespect. When I sit down at my computer and log on to a map I am looking for some good fights with real people who just sat down at their computer and did the same thing. If I wanted to shoot fish in a barrel I would use CFS 3 with the AI set to Rookie. Last night however I HO'd a Rook, and he was not happy. I was after some B17's that were flying around the map blowing up VH's and Radar. I upped a Yak9T and climbed to 16,000, I ended up just above the cloud level with the 17's just below. I got the timing just right and broke the cloud layer at max speed just ahead of the 17's (3 sets). I think most of of them were in F6. I used well aimed shots and set 4 of them on fire. I had 18 rounds left as I went up and over. I was setting up for a broadside attack on the tail ender. I set 2 more on fire and had 6 rounds left. Took a few hits this time and figured I would climb back though the clouds and head home, and watch my kills pop in the text bar. As I looked at the burning 17's I noticed a black dot moving fast towards me. I went to full power and turned towards the dot. When the icon popped I went yikes! I am at 16k in a yak 9t and there is a mad u4 corsair closing on me. I am completely out classed at this altitude it my yak and about to die. By this time I am pointing directly at him and he is flying straight at me. At d1000 he is still coming and I have 6 rounds left. I put the pip just above his cockpit and fired 2 rounds. He blew up and started with the hotard crap on 200. In this situation which of you guys would have fired and who would have not fired? and why?

[BlauK]

I would not have fired, because I would not have pointed my guns at him in the first place  ... I would have been trying to run home with my kills

[CDR1]

i thought about that but the 17,s were still burning, no kills. and there is no way I could out run a u4. If i had not turned towards him when i did i would have had absolutely no chance. For what it is worth I did and do feel guilty of hoing, not a nice feeling.

Why was he flying right at you in a superior plane?

[SkyRock]

No, I mean I came off the end of the runway, nosed level to get a lil airspeed,and dodged 4 planes coming in at my 12 oclock high..throughout the next 30 to 60 seconds I dodged at least one more from each plane...not hard to understand if you have basic 5th grade reading comprehension skills.

The point is that you claimed having an HO with them each and every pass. Sounds like you had no gun solution to begin with
Had you HOed with them, you would have stalled after first or second HO, since they all came from "high 12 oc", right?

I suppose you are one of those who call every attack from your frontal hemisphere an HO

[waystin2]

Hello Skyrock,

Forgive me, but is'nt a twelve o'clock high approach on a con considered a deflection shot?  <----Serious question.

Probably only the plane was superior.
