Looks like a rudder kick deflection shot to me...but what do I know?

joo know nothing!

Looks like Greens is avoiding a HO while the lesser man took the shot.

In the end, the true kill recorded was on the thrill of the fight.

K.  One more angle then I'll let the jury decide.  If I owe an apology, I'll send it.

Depends on how anal someone wants to get in calling a HO...that is clearly an angled deflection shot out of the normal head on angles...if you kept going at that exact angle the 2 planes would not meet head on...therefore, no HO.

Why apologize?  It's a perfectly clean shot, the P-51B is clearly using a terrible merge, actually, it doesn't look like he's using any merge tactic at all.  Your position clearly put you out of any nose to nose merge, and from what looks like your direction of travel, you were using a lead turn on the merge, and green was going straight in a shallow dive.  Looks like his intent (from the 2nd screenshot) was to blow past you on the merge for the pick on the friendly plane close by.

To some people, any shot not taken from the dead six position is a head on shot.  What makes it funny, is certain players with this mind set can be found HOing, picking and ganging anything in sight and then come and post how the 'lesser man' took the HO shot.

Not to beat a dumb horse but...are you trying to tell me that even if he was d8 or farther at the same angle, just because they were merging in some off handed way that it's still a HO?  :confused: Wow...anyone that throws an accusation of a HO on a shot like those pics needs to turn his computer off and go play old maid with his mommy.

1. The screen clearly shows a country man behind you so you were not getting ganged.
2. You are in a better turning aircraft and low on deck, pony can't run if he engages.
3. Seems like pony is dipping down a little bit to avoid a ho.

Just my thoughts. In my book its a ho. Really, all this technicality of measuring angles is BS.
