The Evil, Evil HO

[PFactorDave]

And I had high hopes that this would turn into one of those great informational threads where several of the games better sticks talk openly on how to fly an AH2 aircraft effectively.

Easy way to avoid any and all HO's, Simply turn your nose away from the enemy.


There, you will never be HO'ed again, ever.




I guess being HO'ed doesnt bother me, to me its like two knights riding horses at eachother, one will miss, one will hit, or they will each miss, or each hit.

To me there is more honor in shooting/stabbing/kicking someone in the face, vs getting behind them and blasting them in the back, at least you saw me coming. Like i said before, don't want to "JOUST" with me, then turn your back coward, and ill run you down.


The term HO'ed needs to be remade into jousting, because that is exactly what it is. Only difference is 8 times outta 10 the people cryin' on these forums are the loosers to such event, or the guys who go vertical on every fight, cut power and slide down on someone in a nose up stall. Oh bully on you poor guys for not being able to do the same trick again and again and again and again and again and again.

How many times to do you see two planes merge, nose up till stall, roll over,then open fire.


Long story short, you come here and cry because someones not flying and fighting the way YOU want, and i say cudo's to them for that.

Boo frakkity hoo.

Hehe, what the heck is with all those words ya have to scroll through that come after the Subject line and the reply button? 

[Murdr]

Heck of a booby trap ya got set there moot.  I wonder how many boobies who skip straight from the subject line to the repy button that you'll end up bagging?

I kind of enjoy watching the fools stumble in.

A few thousand posts on whether there was a "HO" in the flim moot posted?  I seriously doubt it.

I have to assume from your replies you are one of those clueless players that also have to jump in and moan around a HO discussion between two players in the game also.  Clueless?  Why yes.  Unless you're one of those two players, or happen to see the incident first hand, then you lack relevent information to comment on it.  Personally I'd rather listen to two player argue on whether a HO just happened than listen to buttheads who (again) are clueless on the details, whine about the whiners, or chime in with meaningless HO related platitudes.  Do you also jump in on strangers conversations to attempt to invalidade the topic of discussion in real life?  Lol, I can see the black eyes now.

   Boring .....I'm NOT impressed.  Personal insults are the best you can come up with?  ....very childish

 Also your search button must be broken,  because I came up with over 38 pages of HO's.  The subject has been beat to death from every angle.  There is no "new" ground on the subject.  Maybe you might try the search button again?  You might find some enlightenment.

Personal insults?  Nope.  Actually I'm trying to be helpful to those who....
drumroll please....

Actually read what they are replying to.

For instance say...there's a thread started by a player accused of HOing (this is hypothetical of course).  And said player posts a film asking for input on whether any of the so called HO's are in poor form. 

Then some belligerent blowhard jumps in the thread and calls the OP a whiner.  Now to me, said blowhard is an obvious fool, but I thought it would be helpful to highlight the situation so people can follow who is playing what role in the conversation

No biggie, I can see how you could misread my post as a whine.  It's kinda foolish to stubbornly insist that someone's whining when there wasn't any and everyone involved said as much, but hey, whatever floats your boat.  The point of the thread wasn't to kill the dead horse or change anyone's mind but (quite the opposite) just to hear any feedback, if anyone had some, on this particular instance.

When I first heard of this game back in Air Warrior I was told: ..."you wont like "Aces High" ...all anyone does is HO's and kill you with rockets."  Nothing has been further from the truth.

    The entire subject of HO's is beat to death from every angle.  The whole topic is "tired" and a waste of BBS space.  It also appears that you have no comment about the subject.  Your only concern appears to be berating me.  Funny,  I didn't realise I was the cause of HO's?? ....wow I'm enlightened!  I really got under your skin didn't I?
Poor thing, you will get over it with time.

So you're saying discussions on HOs are taboo?

   I have nothing but respect for you ...and your flying.  If you HO'd me I would not care because I respect you.  I would figure .."thats what he chose to do in that situation".   So in my oppion a HO does not even exist.

  The topic of HO is exhausted.  That is what I am "stubbornly" saying.  It has been looked at and discussed from a 1000 differnt points.  ...and frankly whats been accomplished? ...whats changed?

They are?  That's a shame.  There's already a disturbing amount of players that don't know a HO from a canopy shot.  Poor noobs will never have an experienced point of view to look to on these matters

Well, this thread inspired me to seek out Ghosth in the TA to review avoiding HO attempts and how to turn them to my advantage.  Well worth the few minutes it took.  Many thanks Ghosth!

 

See, something good came from this thread, at least from my point of view anyway.
