A Simpler Time

[ACE]

The odds are in favor of the person evading the HO Titanic.  I could avoid HO shots all day man. It isn't that hard. You get unlucky sometimes for sure.

Yea, if you're already making maneuvers to avoid at 2K away, then it's not hard. But in a multi con engagement where you only have a short distance to react (400-600), then I would love to see someone avoid a HO like that.

So, you're saying you're the best at HOing when you're not only in German metal but the other guy is distracted and he doesn't see you coming? Well, I don't know about everyone else, but I'm right impressed.  

HO rant/whines are overrated.

Yes. The guy who gets on 200 almost everyday ask for some one to duel likes to HO. Yes. The guy who asked people to up from a field today because there were no fights is the best at HOing. Yep. Boy, I sure love to HO. I mean I haven't made countless posts about promoting dogfights and fighting til the death at all. Nope, HOing and vulching is all I do.

Oh, and in case you still don't get it. That first paragraph was sarcasm. Wait, gotta spell it out clearly too. I don't advocate HOing, I simply stated that if someone wanted to HOram you, they will, even if it means they die in the process. Now if you want to go ahead and test this out, I'm willing. Any plane you like, doesn't have to be German, or American or British or Japanese or Italian or Russian.

Dumb people are overrated.

Lies. If a guy wants to HO-ram you, you're going to take damage regardless of what you do. Pull up? Shot to the belly. Dive down? Shot to the cockpit. Break left? Shot to the wing. Break right? Shot to the wing. The only reason the HO-rammer fails to kill you is because 90% of the time, it's a scrub who can't aim worth a dime in the first place. If a top notch pilot wanted to HO you, you'd take damage no matter what you did. 

DA. Give me a 410/190/110. You try to evade it. Bet you you can't.

Yes, they are. 

[Ack-Ack]

Since my return back to the game last month, I swore off flying a 51 altogether and my K/D and fighter rank has never been higher in my 6 or 7 years of playing.

It will be astronomically high if you were to switch to the true man's plane, the P-38. Just sayin'.

ack-ack

[bj229r]

Thankfully, it takes more talent to succeed in it than the newer, lesser-armed cannon rides

takes more skill to fly and live in a non -4 Hog (IMO) It can't run away or climb away like Lgays, K4', etc..... The reason I said 'Thankfully' is the HUGE amount of hizookas the thing carries

[uptown]

Uptown, Hello!

Howdy HL! I heard you was taking a break for awhile. Good to see ya man!

    I don't know about that, but the 38s are next on the list to learn. I think these heavy jugs will be good training for handling the heavy 38s later on.  If I could ever got on par with you, Twinboom and Pawz and all the rest of ya, I'll be happy as a hog in a mud hole.

[titanic3]

Yes, they are. 

Still waiting boyo. Any time you wanna prove your intelligence, lemme know.

[JUGgler]

On a side note, that one I'll never be able to understand... A guy who is so timid he won't engage at all if he doesn't hold the whole deck and an additional pair of jokers, who makes his only attack attempt a head on where he puts himself into the most precarious position he can allowing his enemy to have a solution on him...

I mean     

STOP IT!!!!


You are making sense

Since my return back to the game last month, I swore off flying a 51 altogether and my K/D and fighter rank has never been higher in my 6 or 7 years of playing. Granted a lot of this due to my squad mates, but flying a jug forces you to fight your way home more often. I would fly the pony and get a few kills and rtb. Now with the jugs, I'm forced to fight more and I'm heading home 5,6 or 8 kills at a time  These are the only reasons I can come up with for my improved stats.

Although the 51 will always be my favorite plane of the war, I'm glad I got serious about parking it. I interested to see if I can keep my lucky streak going in these 47s.

Well, if that is the case, I suggest a 109 G-6

If you only see the guy coming in from 400-600 yards out, that's on you.  If your SA is overwhelmed, I'd think the far more logical whine would be the fact that you're being ganged, rather than what angle you're being shot from.

Never understood why people seem to think they should be able to shout 'HOME FREE!' when their nose is pointed at the other plane.

So if it's a 1v1 and you get HOed, your SA is overwhelmed?

not sure why you would reply in that manner, it is obvious he was replying to your multi con scenario...
