i've actually had a couple guys try that to me.

there's 2 ways to know exactly where they are.

1) ya can still see their icon. either ho em before they try to ho you, or roll away.....or, shoot em in the arse(assuming they misjudged ur e-state) on the way up. i got lucky and hit one of em on the way up.  :devil

2) ya cant see em only if they're directly in the sun. aim in the middle, and hold the trigger. i did this too.......ended up sorta kinda losing that one.  :rofl

my personal favorite. i like to engage my cloaking device if i think you're about to get a shot on me.  :noid

This is exactly the attitude you need to expand your knowledge of aerial combat.

people with any decent knowledge of aerial combat do not whine about HOs.

Funny how some of the most knowledgeable sticks in the game keep pointing out that yes Virginia, you CAN go for the HO shot pretty much anytime there is a merge without loosing advantage and no one believes them.

If you get your guns on someone, KILL THEM! and stop crying about the ho crap!!!!!!!!!!  Ho is only for the DA where you want to get as much practice as possible so, don't ho there to make yourself turn more.  But in the main, if the guns are on... KILL!

i've given up many a shot, because i felt it was a ho. i've paid the price and lost my cartoon airplane sometimes due to this.....other times, i've still beat the guy.

 what counts, is that either way you look at it.......i made the other dood work for his kill...or made him call for help, which hopefully didn't get to him before i kilt him.


 the important thing i think everyone is missing.............is the fun aspect of it. ]

 have fun. the planes and gas are cheap. the gv's are cheap. the troops drink cheep cartoon beer with cheep cartoon donuts.

 go out, fight, repeat and rinse.  :aok :aok

Yeah, Yeager was a HO'er. He was also a chute-shooter. It was war.

As I look down this list, I see names who are claiming how great a pilot they are because "THEY DON'T HO!" and that ho'ing is only for those who are not very good pilot's.  Well bologna on that!  I know with certainty that many of those who are claiming they don't ho have, well shall we say "fired at me first from a frontal shot" (HO< HO< HO). 

I have been double crossed enough now that my devout policy is: "If my gunsight is on you--I WILL pull the trigger, period!"
