to ho or not to ho

[Zerstorer]

We are all responsible for staying out of the gunsights of our enemies.  Failure to do so is our failure regardless of the direction our plane is facing.

This is sig worthy.

my very thoughts.as soon as I figure out how

I'll never HO you on the first pass unless your in a 262. However if you HO me on the first pass all bets are off

To the OP ... the choice is yours....these days it is a ho or be ho'd arena... always did have the take any and all shot players however, there were a larger majority who preferred to make a go of it...unfortunately this player is now the minority and it is getting more and more gunho..... this is the game you are playing now..many others here had a different start to aces but they a falling away now.....   so i guess I'm saying...Ho your little heart out and don't get slow...ensure you have a good head of steam so as to get away and reset... a bit cynical you say... too freakin right....   I am losing my game...

Sorry wiley that's the best I can do for quote Sig..I don't know how you did it with the quote and link with your sigs

I'm going to say "to ho", just to piss people off.


That being said, Would it be considered a ho if I were to fly in a manner that allows me to kick hard rudder (meaning I MUST use hard rudder in order to get a shot on him) at the last second and peg him?

Building your own fly rod, hiking into a remote river and catching a native trout with a hand tied fly is rewarding and fun.  Ordering a filet-o-fish sandwich at the drive through is just the first step in making a turd.

If you end fights with a HO you are stealing from yourself.

Exceptionally eloquent ending with a repulsive thought. That was nicely done, bravo

I say HO away. Never mind that 99.9% of the people who cry about it can't tell the difference between an actual head-on (mutually-assured destruction) vs. a front-quarter shot (shooting someone from the front, but without risk of them being able to hit you due to their angle); rather, HO'ing brings out your opponent's true character and deepest emotions. It shows the difference between those that play to have fun and those that have some sort of deep-seated emotional investment tied to their losses.

For example, this past Saturday there was a rather poor P-47 pilot who came at me from below. Knowing his speed was too high, I pointed my nose inside of his projected flight path and waited. He pulled into me, allowing for a clean shot to the inboard side of his nose/wing root. Never mind that he didn't have a shot, or that he was being chased by numerous other aircraft, a Fugitive from justice as it were, and would have certainly died; no, he decided to spend the next 5 minutes raging on 200 about a "HO," as if that somehow validated his choices post-death.

I say HO to your heart's content and never look back!

Or it might show that they are getting really freaking tired of climbing to alt ~8mins flying to target ~3-5 only to be downed by a HO, repeat that once or twice and boom, customer lost. Even some of the long time heroes are sick of it and the new AH attitude of kill/score is the most important thing.

Skill is to be admired; k/d and gamey maneuver don't mean caca. 

I see you speak of it quite a bit yourself.

Wow   hahahaa.....  just so much win

if you want to ho, go ahead and ho. Some ties I ho back other times I don't. Brewsters always get ho'd.
