A tactic as old as flight simming itself...

[Shuffler]

lol maybe thats your problem shuff    Try to understand: AH is alot more than just a fighter game, and to many people a hell of a lot more.  its a strategic war game, a GV game, a territorial conquest game, a bomber game, a naval game.  All sorts of combinations therin.  As you now know well AH a WW2 strategic wargame and soon to add a WW1 dogfight arena (hey! right up your alley, well...sort of)!  

About the only thing AH is not: AH is not a first person infantry combat shooter.  Too bad really.  

   

No.. I checked it's a fighter game.

What continues to amaze me is how many people worry about what others do, or how others fly. If you don't like the HO don't do it. Its easy to avoid the HO so if it happens to you, you deserve it.

Oh it's a real-war tactic this, oh its your own fault that, etc, etc.

As stated.

Either way, I'd suggest that you're barking up the wrong tree.  My only real complaint, when I see tracers coming at me from D2.0, as opposed to an attempt to gain separation, is that Ive found yet another dweeb who will only delay my quest for a decent fight.

Actually it's the "Internet's Premier World War II Combat Experience" game.  It was at one time a strictly dog-fighting game, but no longer.  Please correct me if I am wrong.

At least it's not like all the sqweekers and newbies are turning OFF their tracers to hide the HO.

I was HO'd last week by a long time vet who turned his tracers off. Not seeing tracers during the HO\ err merge.... threw off my timing and I rolled myself into the bullet stream thinking I was evading the bullets. I only had the gun flashes at the last moment in the merge to let me know he was firing. I was manuvering to slip past him at the merge when he fired. Never occured to me how much of a visual reference the other planes tracer stream is in the game for evading the HO.

THUS - The master merging shooter should disable tracers, stay in the head on merge till the last possible moment, then snap a merging shot.

Wow, just changing the language and it sounds so ordinary, technical, and less PC. Merging Shot........... 

I'm protecting the name of the long time vet because I bet he's an equal opportunity HO'er and will share with the rest of you....... 

See you need some help so here ya go.

[Enker]

Just no fight........ and the game is about the fight.

If you just want to ho there is a perfect game.... Galaga.

Man, whoever is playing Galaga in that screencap must be a total noob. I mean, come on! One fighter? Pretty weak if you ask me.

The boards are hiccuping again.

Wonder if that is the server freezing or the software.

Hoin AIN'T combat !

[Banshee7]

I shall one day master the HO and be an elitist at base taking.  Then all of you furballing, fighting n00bs can go crawl in a hole....

Good grief

Agreed. It's their 15 bucks.


With the amount of whining about what others do these days, one wonders how these guys would have fared in the ol' days when Fatty used to play.

[68ZooM]

Agreed.

It's their 15 cents.

If there was no concept of an HO, the whiners would whine about something else. Nothing would change. They just don't realize it is up to themselves to be in control and to have fun.
