Title: HO avoidance 101
Post by: Chalenge on August 10, 2008, 02:48:06 AM: In a target rich environment your the only con to attack! "I have cannons and he doesnt so I can HO!"

I counted eight 110s three 190s a P51D a Spit 16 and two C47s. They all died in the end (this is just a short clip of one HOer). Three tried it before I passed through the entire line. Its not hard to get out of this guys way!

I'm still 11-0 in a Spit 1 and HO'ing 110 G's. They see my SPit Icon and Assume I'm a Spixteen and "saddle up". Just when they quiet the cartoon plane down, they're in the tower whining.

Paging DanoDano, Erica, Betty, CofCorn who were witness to 6 of them personally. Call BS all you want. Well placed 303's will win everytime over average joe in a HO wagon.

You may also want to watch the film of Mensa and I performing a mock duel. He was in a 262 (and we were both serious at this point) and I was in a Spit 1. I never got a collision message and put a 2 sec burst in his cockpit. 303's are point and shoot for me.
