Hey greens

You pays your money and takes your chances.

I look down upon that kind of shot, it usually means inexperienced pilot that won't hold his own in a 1 on 1. Having said that it also doesn't look like the OP was intending to merge and fight.

All these arguments got me on the fence now. But really don't we want to raise the level of fights and not approve of this kind of practice in general? Saying its good won't do anything to help the MA.

Would you not agree that you could possibly see that same angle of shot in a good 1v1? Fights in the MA actually do seem to be getting better in my opinion I find alot more good fights these days then say 6 months ago

Yes I would but on the first merge? I thought this was what this thread was all about.

In practice I find it happens so infrequently as not to care. If its anywhere near a furball and anywhere close to an angle for me even on the recieving end it doesnt register as a HO. iF i merge close to nose to nose I expect it but if your style of fighting is to look for Duels 1 on 1 then Its been said before.

Like the man says you pay your money in the ma. Every fight is different, skill and style lvels vary enormously and there are usually gentlemen fightwers in ava if I want to remind myself how good some people are in a fair fight.

Basically the MA is rarely for me about fair fights with differnces in no.s, Planes, E states, Fuel loads and ord loads. Its about situational awareness and positionaing.

What is furstrating though is if you are fighting say against 2 or 3 and winning and one HO's you. Maybe I will try and go a whole tour without getting Hoed, Get hoed on the last day and be able to feel what all the fuss is about

I saw the textin on 200 i was laughin really hard when it happened.

Greens is a personal rival of mine. H to the Izz - O! (HO) Anything to win.

  I take ho shots too sometimes.. mostly against 262's and tempests. Those are fun!

Its all over the map, the general level has increased but then there are still many defiant hobags who are constant repeat offenders.

[Spikes]

Ranger I bet you could have seen this thread when you started it, it's pretty much 50 50...half the people will say it is, half will say it isn't.

My opinion is that it is not, Ho = Head On. Are they head on? no. Therefore no ho.

[Kermit de frog]

I think that will do it

sorry but I just knew AckAck would come back with something. Just found his post funny.

[A8HatTrick]

I am not even going to read this thread. I am just going to say, if you die, he HO'd you, if you killed him, it was a deflection shot.

That statement is the truth as the player sees it 90% of the time 

P.S. Nice Deflection Shot

I remember going nose on in a fight with Lazer in his 38. He hoed me. I asked him why the ho. He told me it was a lazy merge. I dont think ive ever been so pissed in this game. But I thought about it and it helped me learn to merge differently, and I have to say I do merge better.

I still think he was a (       ) for not helping when asked. " how could I merge better"

I like the hoes where your turn fighting three on one and one of them hoes you to save his bud.
