A Simpler Time

Bighorn uses the force. Once he shot me down and he wasn't even logged in.

did you mean: The Schwartz?

I don't know Dedalos, I had a pilot wound even after I logged off

Ahhh, you looked at his face didn't you.  Don't do that please.

It is never a problem for me to avoid a HO. Circumstances dictating, I think the player that seeks a HO almost always ends the maneuver without a tactical disadvantage.

The only time I attempt a HO is when I am up shAt creek without a paddle - low energy state, deep in nmy territory, hopelessly outnumbered, no chance of outrunning the nmy(s); etc

You are confusing the skill level of the person pulling the HO with the actual HO shot.  If you end up with an advantage after that it only means the other guy was clueless.

So, in the MA that would be only about 80% of the time then? lol

I'm not confusing anything.  Generally speaking, only "less" skilled players attempt HOs at the merge, and in a case I had yesterday, consecutive merges.  A skilled player should know better. 

If you are losing to a HO in the merge, you are doing it wrong.

That's not what he was saying. Dedalos point is that if all other things being equal, HOer will have a slight advantage. This is true.

And nothing precludes skilled player to utilize the head on shot to gain an advantage. That said, skilled players rarely attempt it, firstly because of HO reputation, secondly because of closure rates and front aspect being very small target and because the opponent may shoot as well. Additionally you may mess merge timing due to paying too much attention to the shot itself.

Cannot remember the last time a player straight up killed me on a HO/ attempted HO or even properly connected with me, I die more from rad hits on a HO but I always merge a lot lower than most people.

good, maybe you can explain to me how do blind people find the braile signs on the walls in order to read them?  I never figured that one out lol

  Well it's similar to the yellow pages,you let your fingers do the walking!

  I use a seeing eye gerbil the only problem is differentiating the braille from his droppings......    Sounds familiar doesn't it!

I think you missed my point.

Those can be used for walk up customers.  As long as they see the cars
