You can't see it in the second one but I was giving it full rudder.  I'll still call it a HO though, because that's what I was trying to do.  :neener:

I try to avoid the head on in MA play, keep it a challenge of air combat skills.  However, when a jet engine and airborne rockets come into play, I throw playing fair out the window.  :D

Ya srry con guys I hoed one or two of ya  insert (hangs head in shame ) emotion. If one of those things got behind you you were dead. lol I dove from over 12k picked off lambo as he was climbing up to kill as set of bombers. I imediatley went back up and one of those super fokkers still climbed my six and he was below me 1.5k. :devil

On one sortie I made the mistake of taking out a zero to try to turn with them. Dude just hit is rocket thingy it looked like he had a warp drive in it. :rofl

Anyway great fun.

No, it is actually a Sopwith Triplane with jet engine and rockets that act like 5 inch AA shells. [/sarcasm]

Yep, it's a Sopwith, that's why the icon was 'FOKR' and then the whole icon was 'SUPRFOKR' ;)

It is ok to HO anytime if you are ready to risk it all (points, virtual life, possible rtb with kills, a good fight, anything) for one pass. If you are not ready to risk it, donät participate in a HO.

It is stupid to whine about HOs afterwards. No-one "gets HOed", or if they do, they should go learn the basics of SA, gunnery and BFM at TA.

I really didn't expect any of those fokkers to accuse me of an unfair fight because I HOed. lol  The evil con mission was a blast and I'm excited to do it again next year.  And chances are I'll end up HOing whatever they'll be flying there!  :x

Probably flying turtles with rapid firing 88mms and deathstar capabilities.
