Honch’s Guide to HO’ing
#1 Use a plane with 50 cals. Do not fear the heavy cannon planes like 190s and Typhoons. A 20mm, 30mm or 37mm cannon does no damage if it never hits you and if you follow the steps below they wont.
#2 Turn off tracers – so the other pilot won’t know when you start shooting.
#3 Set your convergences to the maximum distance allowed on your 50-cal plane of choice.
#4 To set up the shot, enter a dive until you are below the target then turn up into them so that when you will approach the other HO’er you will be in a slight climb. That way, if you both get damaged, you’ll be on the way up and they’ll be on the way down, ensuring that they smack the ground before you and thereby getting the kill (and the inevitable whine)
#5 Line up the shot so that you have the other plane in your sites at d2.0.
#6 Zoom in and target their left or right wing.
#7 Begin firing at d1.5 – Cease firing at d1.0 and veer off. Your 50s will continue on their laser-guided course until the other guy flies right into them.
#8 Use the ‘F’ key on the keyboard to fire so that your trigger finger doesn’t unsteady your shot.
#9 Turn fast and flat to avoid their cannon trajectory then turn back to them so that they cannot gain angles if they happen to survive.
#10 Be gracious when they whine. If they say “Nice HO jerk”, or something similar, Say: “Thanks! I use Honch’s guide to HO’ing!” -S-
Remember, it always takes 2 to Head-On so Happy HO'ing!
