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.

 :D I think anyone who says the person to say a head on shot is a ho should go play old maid with his mommy should relax. Looking at the world from someone elses perspective and accepting that his view might be different from yours will open up great possibilities for you.

If you are going to quote me, step up and make it clear.

Okay, you do the same stuff that you look down on others for doing.  That any better?

If you have to use the hat switch to see who you're taking fire from, it's not a HO. I've forgotten more about being a HO tard than most dweebs will ever learn. Trust.

With the connection Greens has? Yeah, he probably saw it as a HO.

You people were never taught critical thinking skills?

Pony should have not let that happen.  Period.  Flip over and show ur belly if u can't get clear and it looks like they can kick rudder.  Maybe u loose some E, but in that pony you can staighten right back out and reset the fight.

Not a HO.  Those shots are when u just shut up and reup.

That was a lovely rant he had going on 200 wasn't it! Greens got a few rounds of lead in the face (no, not a ho). Now he needs to deal with 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.

i think i have to agree with this.

looks to me like they were lined up for a HO............ greens broke to avoid........ and gave up a deflection..........

exactly why you should always just go on in guns blazing and not try to avoid the HO

I cant say it is or isnt from the shots, If a film were posted I would give you an answer.
If its the first merge then its a ho.
Uh.. also, theres a green guy behind you and your in a better turning aircraft, why would you choose to shoot.  :rolleyes:
I dont think they would call that a HO, Ive heard people call it a HOT merge. Just because some doesnt reall try to avoid that much in a HO you can normally tell if they arent because the "jousters start shooting at like 1K out. Now someone gave someone a horrible tip to go for a shot at the last possible second by using rudder

Maybe I should post the film, maybe just let it go.  Was just having some fun.  Actually, we were never headed towards each other.  He was coming in on my 6.  I banked left, came around and took the shot you all see, in the cockpit & aft.  He did not maneuver at all, just went straight through.  There was no HO to avoid before the screenies.

Just let it go. I got the rant the night before when I shot down his Spit that missing half a wing. He told me I had no integrity. Just five minutes before that though it was ok for he and two country mates to shoot down my LA-7 that was missing half a wing. I was called several names that eluded to me liking the same sex and such.

I would have taken that shot all day long ... and had I been taken out by a shot like that ... I would have kept my mouth shut and upped another plane.

No apologies required Ranger.  Looks like he got tagged and was not to happy about it.  Get over yourself Mr. Greenjeans.

1. The screen clearly shows a country man behind you so you were not getting ganged.

Call me cynical but in this game a country man behind you can mean a kill stealer.

I merged 3 times with Irish(something) in a row last night and he hoed me on the 3rd I think. I think I might have Hoed him earlier anyway. Its hard enough not to fire when someone is coming straight at you let alone when you have any kind of angle.

If I get my guns to bare first by a descent margin in the MA I tend to shoot becasue it often has little in common with a duel with everythig else going on. In Axis V Allies this is justifiably frowned upon however where there are less planes but they are generally alot more skilled.

So my point to anyone who hasnt been here many times before is in an arena as fluid as the ma if you get an anlg eyou would be forgiven for using it. By the time the pilot on the recieving end gets hit it can look more like a Ho than it was as he meay be getting a shot.

If your a bad sport and cant accept defeat you will start crying about it on 200. In my experience its the same people who get Hoed over and over again. They also cry about pickers and are enlessly criticising the damage model and their fellow countymen for not checking their 6
