HTC has said that the level of detail you see at MAX ZOOM is comparable to the level of detail you can roughly see normally (without any zoom whatsoever). The zoom in-game is actually more limiting because it narrows your field of view significantly and you cannot track moving targets nearly as easily.

Also, reducing HOs is as easy as avoiding them, manuvering around them, or any other number of things. I don't agree with the "it takes 2" comment you find often on this forum, but I do believe you can seriously ruin somebody ELSE's HO with a basice manuver or two.

Zooming in while firing actually inhibits your aiming ability.   :salute

I set my zoom to about +20% during preflight.  I dont like too much telescopocity (new word alert) but when I get runners I like to snipe em out to about 1k and a 20% zoom is about right for me.  I never use zoom for HOs, they happen too fast and I get discombobulated too easily.

HO's can be annoying, but you can dive out of the way to avoid them.

Another thing ... most wouldn't know a HO if it ran them over. There are way too many people who piss and moan about a HO when they expose their front quarter at the merge and take a deflection shot.

If your merging with me, you had better not expose that front quarter shot. I will hit hard rudder and rake you from stem to stern as you pass by. If you think that is a HO ... meh.

No

Zoom will not stop HOs

The detail you get to see in real life is far greater than maximum zoom here. Also with zoom you have extremely limited field of view.

As far as I'm concerned a HO when the guns of both aircraft are pointed at each other and at least one is firing. If one of the planes does not have a shoot on the other it is not a head on shoot.
