You already have the method of doing that if you wish.

Personally, I dont want to chase dots around all nite trying to figure out if they are enemy or friendly.

If you ask me, a HO shot is a legitimate shot, however, one time I was lining up against Sirloin a perfect HO shot, and the manuever he pulled to avoid the shot and quickly get on my six is one of the best lessons I have learned since coming here from AWIII.
The saying "it takes two to HO" is true, and if you learn to avoid the HO'er, it usually is a short fight, resulting in the kill of the Ho'er.

Face it, if you get kilt by a HO, your guns were pointing at the NME face and he would be foolish not to fire.  He cant assume that, even tho your guns are pointing
directly at his face, you are not going to fire.  If your guns
arent pointing at him, then it isnt a HO.  Its a deflection shot.
  HOing is like engaging in unprotected sex.  Its great when
you get some, but it really sux when you catch some.

HO is tactic even used by the best american ace Bong he loved to HO those fancy turning zero's.

Dogfight is my last option (when i'm trouble)

Dogfight is nice but if u doing it for the dogfight get ready to be bounced in the always busy MA.

HO and cherry pickin costs less energy
This tour i'm totaly flying that way andnever had such a high K/D

So far i got me 103 planes that way while only get killed by 3 planes :D .

This might be boring but pretty realistic.

HO's are a part of the game and you have simply got to learn to deal with them.  Never fly straight and level with an enemy approaching from dead ahead.  Weave from side to side, barrel roll, dive under, do ANYTHING to make it harder for him to get a good sight picture.

However, I DO sympathize.  There is nothing more frustrating than to be flying along with a good deal of smash and have a newbie flying some heavily armed perk plane approach from your high 12 o'clock position, dive on you, open fire from 2.0k and get in a lucky shot on a vital part and destroy your ability to maneuver.  Frustrating as all get out, especially if you know he's not any good.

Didn't Chuck Yeager get shot down over France in a HO with a 190? HO's are a real and realistic part of arial combat. I try to avoid them though, very dicey in a 109.

HO's attacks have been part of Air-to-Air combat since WWI. Plus most Engagements in WWII started as Head ons.

HO is not always an easy shot either. Theirs a fine line between an HO and a nice deflect shot. What pisses me off is when they ram you trying to HO knowing full well their ****ty, slow, ISP e-machine, wal-mart, piece of crap, setup will probably save them.

You are so right.
We should quit, because your passion for flight sims is so much greater than ours.;)

I agree, MAC's are annoying. If two planes collide both should be affected, nomatter on who's FE the collision occurs.
