Why not .....................................Ho

[frosty]

I guess you have never flown in the early war arena or mid war arean.  lots of HO's in both and the numbers are the numbers you suggest for the perfect gamming experience.  People HO, why not.  Someone turns in at you and because your head on, you don't pull the trigger?  who you kidding?

If it's a 1-on-1 even fight, I will generally try to gauge the other guys intentions.  If it looks like he's going to fly by (i.e. he doesn't keep making small adjustments to re-aim his nose at my face) I generally won't shoot.  If he does, I'll either shoot back (again, spite) or start my turn.

If I make an H2H pass and I do get killed for my poor judgement, it's my own damn fault.  I may get a bit angry but... *shrug*

If I change course and he still puts 2 in my head, hey, nice shot.  If I did my job properly it would have been a hell of an angle.

Why do we have 3 "i got hoed" threads everyday?!

 "Well, " I thought, "if hoing an A8 is what you really want..."   

Did the A8 win?

You know what I meant.  You cannot get HO'd without putting yourself there.  If you go nose to nose with someone and don't expect that they may fire on you (however much you disagree with it) and don't know how to avoid it, you're foolish. 

You're foolish ... or maybe just unlucky that you couldn't avoid.   I'll go with you on that.   

No, it's not.  An HO is a head-on shot.

I don't care about strict feinition.  I care about AH deifnition.  If a guy shoots you as you try to avoid the HO, it's a HO.  It's okj if you don't like it, but it's a HO.

HO, its a tactic..., loser die's.

IT TAKES 2 TO HO....dont want bullets in your face? Turn away...

IT TAKES 2 TO HO....

This is wrong, always has been wrong. It takes two to merge, one to HO.  Attempt to change a long standing definition:  DENIED

BUT YOU PUT YOURSELF THERE.

That is what we are saying.  Where's the confusion? 

Even by your definition, you must still place yourself in a position to be shot.

There is no confusion.  Your definition is wrong.

HOs have no skill on first merge. Its the first thing you learn to do. point and click. Second merge I've seen everyone do it, which means I wasn't fast enough.

Why do we have 3 "i got hoed" threads everyday?!

Cause people are only complaining and not doing anything to improve whan it happening.

This is a ery cleche awnser but, Avoid it i know people with downs that could.

[Yeager]

There is no confusion.  Your definition is wrong.

seems to me you are making a pointless point
