A nose on nose merge is just that, a MERGE. That's just fine in a 1 vs 1 if it is establish theres to be no hoeing but in the MA this is not what is happening. I flew in several furballs last night not once did the opposition re frame from hoeing period. Great gentleman's rule but rarely upheld. Now then to address the comments you made about my first and only move is a ho and how unskilled I am who has not a clue as to how to win a fight. Fugitive you have no clue to my first move in aerial combat or how skilled or unskilled I am at playing this game. I have read your other post and it seems they all have a common theme. Negative no Positive! Next time try to actually think before you open mouth and insert foot. I'm sure that I have shot you down in combat probably more than once..... to win a fight that's why!!!
So whats your ingame name? I don't hide behind a BBS name, I'm the Fugitive here, and in the game. Same guy, same "persona" What you see is what you get.
Maybe you have shot me down, but that isn't what we are talking about here. The reason I posted as I did is you posted this....
"THE WAY I SEE IT IF A PLANE flays nose to nose AND ENTERS MY GUN CONVERGENCE I shoot because he hoed first whether or not a shot was ever fired." So seeing as most merges are nose to nose it looks like your first move is the HO. You said you shoot
"whether or not a shot was ever fired". Your not merging, your HOing.
My posts may seem negative to you and many others because I point out the negative side of game play. My purpose is to maybe educate players as to some of the more "lame" things a lot of people do. If 1 in 10 adds a bit more honor to his flying/fighting game play then I'm happy. If more people took the time to learn how to really play the game instead of trying to defend poor game play like the OP and your self posted here, everyone would have more fun and less frustration. Your the one who is negative. You posted...
"Great gentleman's rule but rarely upheld.". Your saying that you accept how things are. Your playing in a cess pool and your happy with it. Me, I'm looking for a change to the more positive side. I hope that there will be change and that for the better, not worst.
