HO?

[Arlo]

This thread is missing the second ho.

I've always thought it odd that in this game it is considered more honourable to shoot someone in the back.....

I have no problems with someone trying to face shoot me, it usually gives me an opportunity to set up a lead turn and gain angles. If I can get a guns solution on someone before they can on me I have no problem with pulling the trigger either.

the front quarter shot is probably the most mis-understood shot in the game.   So many people who close the turn late  about it.

A lot of times these old eyes can't see the direction of a plane in a quick turn situation or this old thick head is slow to realize then resolve an unexpected HO.

Latrobe has caught me a couple of times doing an Immelmann from below and in front of me for a HO shot that he doesn't miss.  I envy his skills.   It is an honorable  maneuver in my book. 

HO is part of the game like alt pickers like messiah.  I hate loosing to both maneuvers but it is my lack of skill that is the problem.  I am doggone sure going to pull the trigger in any HO situation.

I wonder if part of the HO sensitivity is really associated with ramming?

Not even close to a HO ... this gets a single "bah." If I had a fight that went that long, with the wingman staying out of it, and lost my WING, for pete's sake, I would simply have saluted both of them for the good fight and sportsmanship.

You have to have a pretty big head to say you were "HO'd", I can just see 200 now. You Ho'd me, no I did not, yes you did, did not, I filmed it, go ahead and post the video, the world will vindicate me.

Bah. 

Play the game.

not even close to a ho...just tell the guy to stfu and do his thing. any numbnuts that doesn't know the difference between an off angle deflection shot and a ho deserves to be ho'd every single time.

I've always thought teaching new players to ho whine was an extreme disservice to the community.

No HO. Anything after 1st merge is fair game.

Some rook a while back screamed at me for shooting his 262. I said I had an angle you didn, no ho.  

Although I do ho 262's, I mean who doesn't

[Triton28]

Technically a HO, yes.  Not a blatant one though. 

Tell Skyrock that the gun just went off and you don't know why.  Maybe you hit a bump or somethin.   

[Bruv119]

looked like skyrock failed to add some sort of roll or turn onto his vertical climb.   He left it a bit late to get his wing onto you for a successful reverse and you just timed your firing time perfectly as he flew past.  

So the HO bag council rules no HO.  Owned!

Hmm, dodge the HO and die....take the shot presented because the adversary maneuvered to avoid the HO...

I'd rather be dead and cool than alive and uncool.

If you watch the film changeup you can see SR left it too late to try and move.   Also kilo has a PW and TBH anyone jousting with a PW is going to take any shot / kill they can before ending up back in the tower.

You don't know how to dodge a ho and survive*?  

*much cooler, btw.
