I believe we are dancing around the same thing. Your arguing that crying HO is not technically correct. I'm arguing the name can be used with this kind of shot, because it just sounds cooler instead of saying cheap shot.
I feel we're not going to come to a full agreement. Congrats on coming 2nd in BaldEagles tournament thought, I'm going to watch those films soon.

I think you guys are missing the bigger picture.  If they were actually engaging each other for a fight this might be a cheap shot/HO.  But it's clear that greens is just ignoring Ranger all together, diving for speed and probably going to make a pass at  Ranger's ally and then dive for the deck and run for his life.  There is no fight going on here at all, it's just a standard MA encounter and completely legitimate of a shot.  Greens shouldn't have whined about getting killed, it was his own fault for flying lazily past Ranger without even attempting to avoid him.

I could call your a giraffe just because it may sound cooler, but you're still a human.

t for flying lazily past Ranger without even attempting to avoid him.

as much as i love the fights........

there is a certain pleasure in managing to sneak up on someone. ya get on their 6 low(so they don't notice ya), get to 200, and BLAM!! watch em twitch n snap-stall trying to avoid the inevitable.

 i dunno what it is about that........

i actually had a PERFECT shot lined up on a 110 that flew right by me...2k to my left, never saw me. i did a lazy descending turn, was 400 out, going for that "fill the windscreen" picture. then here comes a countryman haulin arse in his spit diving on him, shoots, and MISSES, but still alerts the 110 to trouble. i still got him, as he rolled and pulled hard, i was able to rudder enough to clip his wing...that combined with the hard maneuver, he spun in.  :devil

Wow, quite the discussion became of this.  Santaana is pretty good at figuring out me, my flying style, my "cheap shots", etc. from 2 pics.  Quite the gift ya got there bub. ;)  I guess I need to find a place to put the film up to put it to rest (my PC doesn't like Mediafire).  As for Kermit, I'll show him the "lesser man" in the upcoming scenario when my T-34s are rolling over his buddies. :aok  As for right this second, I can only post a few more screenies for argument's sake.  I used a red line to show where a HO shot actually would have came from (or until Santaana tells me I'm wrong :D).  Anyone notice the hit sprites are to the cockpit->aft, none to the front half of his plane?  A little more background:  It was an 8 on 5, I received a check 6, high yo-yo'd to the left, as I came around there was the pony flying straight & level (not engaging me).  Actually he was running from 3 friendlies of mine that were about 2k behind him.  Had I not gotten a check6 he would have been on my dead 6, but did not follow my yo-yo & kept going straight (to get away from my friendlies).  I honestly don't know if he ever even saw me, even when I was at his 12 with my rear to him.  For all I know, he could've been looking behind him the entire time at the other planes on his 6, smacking his kids, rolling a doobie, etc.  All I was stating was that it wasn't a HO as accused.

Is my plane anywhere near the red line where a HO would have came from?









I've never started or taken part in a discussion like this.  This is fun! Weeeee!!! :D

That was pretty much the angle and shot I took on him last night when I ran into him flying a Spitfire Mk IX and as I posted earlier, didn't stop him from whining about a HO nor did it stop him from trying to HO me twice when I ran into him in a F4U afterwards.

Looks like a crappy merge by the P-51 and a nice deflection shot by Ranger ... I see nothing cheap there.
