I will say, however, if I am the low con I will drop my nose and wait for you to pounce. I will break upward, using your speed against you and gain a bit of E on you. Eventually (assuming you don't get a snapshot in) you will be more-or-less co-E and have to fight on more equal terms.
If at any time I see that an HO is in my best interest, I will certainly take it, dweeb move or not. If you dive on me from the front quarter and my guns are better than yours, I am shooting. I hit most of those passes, and in my mind that makes it a viable tactic under some circumstances.
So, if I dive on you, you will point your nose upwards. and if I keep on diving you'd fire at me (HO).
Each time the Zero points it nose upwards it sends a message "if you dare to dive, you will face my cannons". I refuse the HO, and as soon as I level, the Zero will level too. As soon as I try the bounce again, the Zero will do just the same. its a non-exit thing, or I accept a HO (thing that I will never do), or I can't do anything.
Curious thing I NEVER Saw a C202 doing this tactic. Why?...I think is clear.
I don't say it is skillfull or not. It is the only chances that those planes have. For me the HO is an annoying situation that I dont like. So I dislike the possibility that exists of yet another plane with 4 hispanos that will be unbounceable if not caught by surprise.
And ,before you people start jumping on me saying "why do I care what you want or not?", I ask you please to read again my previous posts. I gave a personal opinion, nothing else. if HurriIIc comes I will have to ignore attacking yet another plane unless by surprise. It's okay with me. But I dont like it and I won't remain silent saying it. Its my opinion and is as respectable as anyone else's
Forgive me for I dont like a HO arena. ANd with slow, old planes with four lasers as weapons, the only chance they have to survive is to do the vertical HO thing.
So we will end seeing nonstop HOing people. Annoying, at least for me.
