wat ever happended to pilots with honor?

They got tired of you not having any and started flying like you.

^This.

And I'd like to add that people usually forget very soon the killer when they are killed in a non-honourable way...however....it's harder to forget honourable pilots....for exemple, when I was getting back home in my Hog and Hoagi run into me in hs Tempest.....he managed to place his nose at 200 yrds off my tail..... "Tempest, I'm the rook hog, no ammo here....."

He had just to pull the trigger for the easiest kill. He rolled, pulled nose up and let me get home....It was 5 months ago...ll never forget this name.....Hoagi.

Hoagi did something good besides running.

((Midway, we are suppossed to be talking here about honour, not flying style I guess.....))

In the MA sometimes I've seen 1 vs 1 fites and I've stayed out....in the meanwhile, always, I repeat, always, another enemy has entered in the scenario, and without doubting, has broken the 1 vs 1 and killed my friend. Then I stay up there thinking If I did it right staying out......

[Kovel]

For me are honourable behaviours not killing a half winged plane trying to rtb (if he just showed up already like that.......), killing planes that are about to land, not shooting if the plane calls out "winchester"....etc

as you can see, for me, nothing to do with flying style.

Midway not honorable this is  discraceful personal attack...

[LCADolby]

Midway... HAHA Busted! 

[Ruah]

it is a sliding scale for sure.

I have a code I stick to with exceptions in certain situations - like anyone does.

Hoagi good at running and good decision to listen to 200 requesting clearance to land.  

  How is that dishonourable (unless you're biased against running or doing what enemy requested), I ask you?

[Nathan60]

You are also good at ho'ing how is that dishonorable?


Answer this and you will answer your own question

[Midway]

Good HOing is honourable.      Bad HOing (losing) not so much.

I enjoy someone HOing me well, because most people that try to HO me I can shoot down after their failed attempt.  There is honour in learning HO avoidance and therefore there is honour in someone teaching me to improve said avoidance with a really good HO.

  Honour may be in the eye of the beholder.

[Nathan60]

Is that why you ho? To try to teach avoidence?

no Honor is not in the "eye of the beholder"

no matter what anyone says....

I will quote a movie for it is the best description I have ever heard of what Honor is.

"Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;"

[Midway]

That was certainly a big part of it.  To teach it so I can learn it myself... by watching what others do...   which I now have learned to a signficant extent... so Midway no longer HOs...   task accomplished.... knowledge gained.

Suspect 95% of the time, you try to HO me, you will be shot down shortly afterwards.

There way be another word for this part, but I won't go there because I'm going to be nice.
