I'm not sure exactly what you are responding to Griz, but as I said:
My lament is: After the HO merge, it seems like almost everyone will nose down and bug, or they do some feeble loop/ break turn and get quickly blasted out of the sky. They simply are at a loss of what to do next. They are HO dependent.

HO me all day, I don't care...much. The guys that miss the HO end up wallowing around, waiting to die feebly. Or they merely run. It would be much more fun (for me) if these people learned some ACM and actually put up a fight, instead of flying as poorly as AI drones.

Sorry, I included you by mistake.

I agree with what you said. All I usually see for ACM is the rope-a-dope, Cunningham's applying the brakes, and on a good day some sissors. But it's 90% dive to pork or the HO and run. I think we need some trainers. =o/

If any want my opinion, it is that not allowing head ons removes a large dimension from the game. And the guy who got HO'd is at fault, because he allowed the other guy to do it. If anyone gets a face full of lead, he deserves it. He shouldn't be flying directly into someone's guns but setting up his opening move. To those who don't agree with me, it's your dime. =o/

Then we agree, it seems. There's no need to whine/"ridicule" over getting HOed in the game. The only part we don't see eye to eye on is my opinion that there was no need for it in AW either.

I never complained about HOs in AW. I liked when they did it because it gave me an advantage. And if they were in a plane with a small clip, they were wasting their ammo. I think it's a mistake to try unless you are desperate. Is there a need to tell others this? I think so, but they don't have to listen... it's their dime.

I like HOs, when offered for free that's $10 I don't have to spend on toothless nancy down the street.
