A Simpler Time

Seems pretty clear what you're saying.

Because some don't believe that you can't avoid a HO. I don't advocate HOing, but I'm willing to prove them wrong.

Good luck with this. It's a humility test, you know.

One can find himself in certain situations where the HO is unavoidable but most of the time, with proper merge tactics, it can be avoided.

A head-on attack is when, at the time of visual con, you turn toward the enemy with the intent to fire at them and they do likewise. Nobody changes their mind. And while you can do this when there's more than one enemy and you can do this with a group of friendlies with similar intent ... you cannot do this flying into an active furball. The enemy is already engaged, at that point. You're not HOing anyone then. All you're doing is flying through and managing to hit someone in the front instead of anywhere else.

I don't agree with this definition.

[Arlo]

I don't agree with this definition.

Then surely you are capable of offering a different one and we can discuss the differences.

this pretty much sums up what i think of you people arguing about HOs

Er... perhaps a new HO related thread, guys?  This one has strayed wildly off course.

As to the OP, I guess the more restricted planeset would be a bit more fun.  When I'm not trying different things I usually fly midwar rides as my main ones anyways, it would just alter what my opponents are in.

Unfortunately the majority want bigger better faster stronger, so MW's only got a limited draw and just doesn't get the numbers it needs to be fun as anything other than a few people furballing.

This is an open invitation to folks who are interested primarily in the lost art of ACM and Furballs.

It seems the predominance of speed of the late war plane set has created a culture of non-engagement and serious timidity.  The favorite tactic these days is staying high and fast, pulling no more than 3G when engaging and then running off if the prey shows any semblance of skill in fighting at a disadvantage.

Engagements lack the edge of your seat excitement of a furball circa 2003.  

The best times I've had in AH since returning are the times when the LWMA is closed and people fly in Midwar.  The planes are slower, slightly less lethal, and this leads to more interesting fights.

So I invite more players to come experience the Midwar arena during peak hours.  Give up your P51Ds, 109K4s, La7s, Doras and jump into the fray.  

I will be there this weekend in a F6F or P38G

You know what we need is a private, scheduled dueling arena that is filmed for all to view.  Then these type arguments on who can do what with which plane could be answered by the duel.  Could be some neat stuff.

Or party goons, like the AW days, so you could pack a bunch of observers into the goon and circle the fight while you watched and held a running commentary.

Good times.

Made me think, we need virtual web cams set out at certain fields in the MA nad DA, action is posted to a cluster of screens somewhere on the BBS, think of the furballs people would create in front of the cameras just because of the "look at me factor" , hey I am TV , so to speak
