seems to me you are making a pointless point  :aok
If it serves to make ONE Lgay drivers think that perhaps there might be a better way to kill stuff than ho'ing it, he made a worthwhile point

   To me a Ho is like a Joust with the event being over in a few seconds. No real skill but getting your lance in position and hoping for the best.

Au contraire, mon frere! Jousting looks simple and is often compared to HOing in this forum but in reality it requires a LOT of skill and athletic ability - you have to hold a ten-foot long pole rock steady with one hand while riding a fast-moving horse without using either hand to control or hold onto the beast, then stay on said horse, still without using either hand, after being slammed dead-center with a couple hundred foot-pounds of kinetic energy. There's much more than luck involved and it's nothing like HOing.

But I understand what you mean.  ;)

There is no confusion.  Your definition is wrong.

So a head-on shot is not a head-on shot.

Got it.  :aok  That is my definition: getting shot head on at the merge.  Seems consistent to me.

Tell me what you think my definition is and why it's wrong.  I think your definition seems to be "any shot taken prior to a H2H pass".  No way for me to tell though, since you won't describe it.

Others cannot compensate for your inability to explain your point.  Again, cop-out.

Frosty try going back and reading what he posted again. Then take awhile and think about what you read. Then you should see what most everyone is trying to explain to you.

Enough of this silly obtuse stuff.  Just define it.

Congrats on your supreme knowledge of a video game, Steve.  Now, care to explain your definition?

Tell me what you think my definition is and why it's wrong. 

What the guy is saying ........is that as long as neither plane fires then its not a HO (think of the term HO as an unregistered expletive).  Technically a head on pass is a head on pass whether hot or cold but we are not really ww2 combat pilots, we dont really fly war planes shoot at and kill people.  we play a game and call each other jokingly insulting names...... so if some guy wants to push a long held BS definition (cheap slander) around the forums like it matters worth a crap then let him.

Get out there, enjoy the game best you can.

That's about what I was beginning to think.  :lol  Thanks.

IIRC, Air Warrior on AOL actually disabled bullet damage from a certain range of front-angles.  One would think if HTC really saw this as as big a problem as certain people make it out to be, they'd do the same (unless it's simply too much of a hassle).
