Good reasons why it's the right time to HO
« on: June 18, 2009, 08:58:36 AM »
I've thought of some ideas that would excuse someone of having no other choice but to HO,I have only a couple, but if you can fill in, more than welcome:

1. your in a 1v1 and your having a good fight with this guy. Some picker comes in tries you. Your slow enough to fall out of the sky, but you have one good shot, and it becomes a HO shot.
 
2. your in a 1v1 and the guy continues to HO you, but you don't HO back, until you get sick of it and wile he has more E than you, you take the HO shot.

3. HOing when you have a vulched field to stop the vulchers

4. When your being ganged (more than two)

Any other reasons that would make a HOing rule exceptional?

Bosco, I think you're a good guy and an excellent fight...but these posts really are becoming redundant. Not just this post, but all of them on the subject of HOing

I just had this Idea after I got HOed after 30 times in almost all of these situations were I could have done something, but I didn't.

You're med-alt, only high cons who are picking you. One swoops down after ya, you nose up, give him a face full of lead.

If you REALLY wanna teach the HO'ers a lesson, delicately insert a few 5" rockets into their cockpit, specifically where the gunsight is :D  :x :x

Nothing wrong with a HO... If you look at WWII Gun camera's the "HO" was an ACM.

Why put your self in a situation where your opponent can shoot back? I almost always avoid the HO for the simple fact that you give up a huge chance of survival, even if the guy misses the shot you put your self in a bad position to win the fight. Against multiple cons i see no reason to invite them to shoot you in the face. A HO is admitting that your dead, even if you already are you should try and give your self the highest probability of survival.

Good reasons to HO:

1) You have more guns than he does (ie P47x vs. P51B)

2) You have bigger guns than he does (ie N1K1 vs. FM2)

3) Your plane does not meet 1 or 2 above but is smaller than his (ie. Hurri2 vs. Mossie)

4) You are climbing & he is decending (+E for him, -E for you)

5) You want to try & keep your ords & get to the target
