I've seen that maneuver be done in IL2 videos so it counts :aok

lol at the Midway quote

for someone who talks so much about ACM...I am flabbergasted at the HOing done by him...
seriously
maybe you don't know skyrr..but the guns are in front of fighters...
the goal is to kill the enemy WITHOUT allowing him a gun solution on you yourself.....
HOing is....well anti ACM
someone as smart as yourself should know that.

Can you beat him?

:aok :rofl
Ghost is always somebody's fanboy, but this version of him is the cutest by far I think.

In a D-11 no less. It's a killer I tell ya!

I do think skyyr would beat Ink 1vs1 though so shouldn't really be talking trash about his skill level.]
Nice flying and shooting Jo! :aok

Asking a question is being a fan boy? Who would've thought.

So does Bruv comment make him a fan boy?

INK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6jjnCoBobc (2:25)
Triton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6jjnCoBobc (2:43) ; (2:49) ; (2:54) ; BUT WAIT, theres more ; (3:04)
In reference to what you said at 2:54, what exactly do "you'll have in store" for him?
Fanboy Mode Engaged

*sigh*

This thread has the makings of another humdinger! Any bets on how many posts before Skuzzy finds and locks it? I'll throw my ante in at 105 posts by COB tomorrow.
And I will say I am impressed with Skyyr's flying. Just watched that "tribute" to the muppets (like to music too) and there was some impressive moves.
-
Our videos show a lot cooler kills. Just sayin...
-
Asking a question is being a fan boy? Who would've thought.
Depends on the question and the motivation for asking it. In this case, no, asking one question is not all that makes you a fanboy.
-
Can you beat him?
he was a bit harder to take down then you that's for sure. :aok
-
Shots fired! :x
It was a good snapshot (I was the third but died before scoober hit the ground, I actually hit him a few times and committed and overshot, got face shot lol..more my horrid shooting than anything else...
I think you collided (2 L's) into each other though, since you got a collided message as well (ya both shoulda died imo), However where as when ChangeUp collided, he was behind Skyyr.(Just using the source material where the precision comment came from)
Ah well, video wars are much more fun and objective than forum wars!
-
how come i never get this kinda hate :cry

he got me a few times since I have been back.... :aok
and I have gotten him...
I have fought much more difficult guys then him.
who had far more honor and respect....he knows none of those things....

ill be in there tonight :aok
I have no doubt I will have to bring my HO avoiding game.
-
Doesn't matter whether Ink wins or loses, he still wins because of attitude and honor. There are many who may not beat Skyyr, but anyone wins who has a better attitude and more honor. By the way, the best description of his attitude is hubris. Plain and simple.
-

I have no doubt I will have to bring my HO avoiding game.
Yeah, I feel ya bruh. All the duels on ChangeUp, Triton, Agent, Violator, Debrody, and Batfink were HO shots. :rolleyes:
-
Skyyr is a good stick....he's just a dick...and a salamander...on his ankles kruel licks....and the other ghost sticks....I do enjoy all the youtube flicks...because I get to learn new tricks :D
All seriousness Ink vs Skyyr will be a pretty good fight....don't even have to ask for the films, I'm sure they will be posted within 24 hours of the action.
-
Yeah, I feel ya bruh. All the duels on ChangeUp, Triton, Agent, Violator, Debrody, and Batfink were HO shots. :rolleyes:
that's all he has showed me...every time he engaged since I have been back...instant HO...and that's how he was right before I left.
I don't care how he flies, but when you spout all this crap about ACM and then HO at every opportunity....
don't be mad because I call out the hypocrisy of your buddie :rolleyes:

Nicely done. You left out the part when I had one flap and aileron. Also, I've never proclaimed myself a master of anything.
I enjoyed our last several fights - please see my channel for some others.

A man isn't defined by the affirmations of his actions, but rather of his own actions alone.
You don't act honorable only to receive the respect of others. You act honorable to honor yourself, that is integrity. Respect of others is but a bonus when you truly have self respect.
Lol Honor..I think people here confuse honor and respect with sportsmanship..

Before you try acting all philosophical, you should take a full assessment of your situation.

the one who can post up a screen shoot of getting a kill with the most red cons around him....you lose points if green are closer then 6k. :aok

There are several publications covering front quarter shots and full head on shots in ACM..Shaw is a famous example..
Hypocrisies lol, I'm sure Skyyr has some slow mo films just to prove who starts shooting first in a lot of those HO passes but that's besides the point lol.
Simple answer: Just because it's taboo in AH doesn't mean it isn't ACM, slowbie.

you crack me up....
HO is the exact opposite of ACM......
and this is a game...not real life......using what was done in real life, as a comparison to what we do here is laughable at best and straight up disrespectful at worst.

above you.... below you...all around... :-)

dont be so sure about that :t

English class: act by actions not act (like a movie actor).
So if I find film showing you pulling the trigger first in HO in the MA (where you don't know with 100 percent certainty who you are shooting at), if I find that film does that make you dishonorable, AND a hypocrite?
-
Lmao that's awesome, how's it feel to get owned by that Chihuahua coming in with alt speed and friends?
You saw that?
Oh well, not like I care.
Did you also see the 7 sorties after that where I was harassing him constantly as well as beating one of his "gamey" shots? Of course not, that would make him look bad.

What I see here is a lot of whining. If you want to HO, then HO. If you don't, then don't.
ACM allows for HO'ing. If you're going to claim you fly according to ACM, then quit complaining about HO'ing. If you're not going to claim you're following ACM, then that's fine too - play by whatever rules you'd like. Just don't complain when I follow established rules for air combat in general.
As a side note, there is an art to HO'ing. Notice in this engagement, my opponent shoots first. Not only did I return fire, but I killed him in one pass while completely avoiding his shots. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv4OGkJX-OU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv4OGkJX-OU)

You almost do the work for me,
The Head-on is part of ACM(documented), but in your AH simplified view of it, you regard ACM to the ability of saddling up on someone's 6, but that's not all of ACM. There are head on s, wingman ACM, defensive ACM, offensive ACM.
Here is where you shoot yourself in the foot: You complain someone doesn't apply your simplified version of ACM (a RL tactic/doctrine) then complain about it being "Just a game" and it's laughable when someone tries to apply that doctrine to the game....wow.

I generally avoid the HO as much as possible......
if I am in a plane that has a major HO advantage I will use that......(probably still lose...my aim is that bad)
I have HOed for sure never said I didn't...I just don't use it as a way to fight.....
ACM was thought into being..... to get a kill on an enemy while avoiding the chance he may kill you......
am I incorrect in that?
dont think so.....
HOing in a fight is allowing yourself to get in the gun solution of the enemy...hence it is the opposite of ACM.

skyrr you are as delusional as I have ever seen....
post up the 2 or so fights before that where all you did was HO and then I just got sick of it and HOed back....
wow you need help....serious help.

when did I ever say "saddle" someone :headscratch: I hate saddling someone that's the hardest shot to make....
maybe someone out there said HOing is ACM....it is possible I guess...doesn't make it true...
people take words and actions out of contexts all the time...
just like skyyr little film of the DA....the sad part is he knows he was HOing..knows I didnt HO the first 2 or 3 fights....
yet he sits here and plays it off.....
in my book that's is a complete dishonorable way of life....he needs help...I'm starting to think that old saying....... birds of a feather...is really coming into play here.

So no comment about what Bruv said? :lol

Lol! That was awesome, more videos! I like how they win one or 2 engagements and make a production about it, while we post 20-30 kills, I like that ratio..keep em coming!

Seriously, your abs must be rock hard from all the humping you're doing.
You act like the DA is the be all end all in this game. It's not. It's a small fraction of what goes on in our little turtle sandbox, so do us a favor and stop using it as your go-to line. You sound like a broken record.
You talk about videos being posted out of context, that's funny coming from the guys who have mastered the technique. Here's the funny thing though, nobody outside of your little fan club is really impressed. I get it, I do. People usually make a video that makes them look good, it's human nature. The level that skyyr is doing it on though is full blown narcissism. He says that he doesn't care but he seems to be trying really hard to get peoples approval. I would be even more impressed if he wasn't always flying low ENY, cannon packing uber planes with a high power to weight ratio. Put up a kill montage in a P-47D-11 like Jo did, better yet, do it in a P-40C. Then you'll start impressing me.
And yes, skyyr has shot me down. A lot, I challenge you to go out and find someone who plays this game who hasn't. Everyone in the game has watched me fly a plane right into a tree, or crash a 262 trying to land. The difference between the way I behave and the way you and your crew behaves is that I don't go running off at the mouth or running to youtube screaming "look at me!" when I do get the kill.
Skyyr is no doubt a skilled pilot, but he fails to practice his skills on a regular basis. I watched him do a cross control stall in an LA7 about 50 feet off the ground, and yes he did make me overshoot. Yes, he did shoot me down earlier that night. No, I'm not going to make excuses about why it was or was not BS. It was a stupid mistake on my part.
Your group continues to cling desperately to this illusion that you are liked by members of the community. Out side of a few select individuals, nobody really does. In fact, most of us just sit and laugh at how idiotic your posts become as the threads progress. But hey, why should you care? "We don't give a damn." That is your motto right?
Ball's in your court, how now brown cow?

INK, now that I think about it you fly a KI84.
You might as well be Midway Jr, flying a Ki is just as hard as flying a Spit VIII.
I do re-call you killing me in the MA. I was in a P51 you in a Ki84. I even had more E, you got me fair and square.
But you DIDNT recall the times in the DA when Poison was still around when I made you quit out of not being able to beat my 38J with your Ki. I out flew you AFTER you said it wasn't fair for me because Ki84 was too good for a 38.
It's funny how you recall victories but not failures.
I will fight anyone in the Muppets, I don't care.
I hold no grudges.

Dragon Tamer / Player1,
We never claimed the DA was the end-all be-all. We don't really even like it. We were told the DA is "where it counts" (by many in this thread, no less) and that the MA is just for fun. That's why we bring up the DA results.
We're here for one reason: to kill. We're not here to win community awards, appreciation, or anything else. It's a game, a great game, but it's a game. If our opponents don't like us (and we constantly switch sides and end up fighting all sides), then winning in said game is that much more satisfying.
Also, I don't recall killing you while doing a cross-control stall in an LA-7. I remember fighting you about 8-9 times in a D9, but perhaps I forgot. Here's the last fight I had with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPSWhzQyngc
-=S=-
Always a pleasure to fight you.

If you want to find out who is the better pilot(1v1) then the DA is a pretty good way to measure that.
Not sure what you mean by "out of context" the videos being posted here are kill shot videos, there's nothing else mentioned in them, so I guess you can check that box off.
The YouTube videos have some pretty good comments from people out side of our squad, do you can check that box off too (even though it's a secondary product of the video's intentions).
We don't post most videos as "look at me!" It's more like "rofl look at them!". However, you could say that about almost anyone who posts a video on these forums then right?
Skyyr doesn't practice..rofl..check that box off too lol. Glad you don't make excuses though..that's freshing.
We don't give a Damn, that's why we will continue to do what we find to be fun..see?

You didn't get me with the cross control stall, you almost did though. I managed to roll under your nose at the last second. It happened one or two sorties after the video you posted (not sure how many sorties it was for you).
I will also admit that was one hell of a shot that you made in the video. I can't hit something with taters unless I'm right on top of it, though I don't usually fly tater planes enough to really get any practice with them.

So no comment about what Bruv said? :lol
You are not Bruv.

Skuzzy's gonna be mad when he finds out you nerds have been throwing your poo all over his redone forum.
Cool video JOACH1M

:rofl

So I don't have film I know if you don't have film it didn't happen, but one night after a few beers I hit the rim dead center not a drop on the lid from over 8 feet away, what an amazing shot, I actually was in a controlled stall while doing it, this is another peeing contest thread right?
-
If you want to find out who is the better pilot(1v1) then the DA is a pretty good way to measure that.
This is true, however the MA also provides something that the DA doesn't. Dynamics. A pilot's skill can also be measured in the MA by the amount of risks they take and how often they come out on top. Flying into a fight with a 10k alt advantage and picking the highest con is low risk, high reward. A pilot that does the opposite and comes in at or below all of the red cons and fights upwards has a high risk, low reward. Assuming that both pilots get the same number of kills before they get killed, it can be said that of these two pilots, the one that is putting himself at a disadvantage is the better stick. That being said, it's much harder to get an accurate reflection on who is the better pilot because of variables such as numbers, plane sets, energy states, etc.
Not sure what you mean by "out of context" the videos being posted here are kill shot videos, there's nothing else mentioned in them, so I guess you can check that box off.
Thought for sure you said something along those lines in this thread... oh well. I don't usually end up getting involved in threads like this so I don't exactly keep a list of what was said when. I don't really care enough to start either.
The YouTube videos have some pretty good comments from people out side of our squad, do you can check that box off too (even though it's a secondary product of the video's intentions).
I'm assuming that the definition of "good" is positive feedback relating to the video. So how many of them are active game members? That number might be a bit harder to prove. I'm willing to bet that it's less than ten.
We don't post most videos as "look at me!" It's more like "rofl look at them!". However, you could say that about almost anyone who posts a video on these forums then right?
Either one of these feeds back into the narcissism I mentioned.
Skyyr doesn't practice..rofl..check that box off too lol. Glad you don't make excuses though..that's freshing.
The definition of the word "practice" as I used it in the context above means to make applicable or execute.
We don't give a Damn, that's why we will continue to do what we find to be fun..see?
And to this, let me ask another question. Fun is a realative term that changes from person to person. Each person will end up having a different definition of the word (much like honor or love). But when is the last time you laughed at something in game? I mean falling out of your chair laughter. The kind of laughter that you laugh so hard, and so long that you stomach starts to hurt, the dumbest little quirk will cause you to burst out laughing again.
"From DOWNTOWN! Swish! He Scores!"
Here's your ball back...
I would also like to send a shout out to FESS for trying to turn fight me in a P-51. I was shocked when I saw a pony actually try and turn fight for a change. And despite what many of the pony drivers have been saying for years, the world did not come to an end.

INK, now that I think about it you fly a KI84.
You might as well be Midway Jr, flying a Ki is just as hard as flying a Spit VIII.
I do re-call you killing me in the MA. I was in a P51 you in a Ki84. I even had more E, you got me fair and square.
But you DIDNT recall the times in the DA when Poison was still around when I made you quit out of not being able to beat my 38J with your Ki. I out flew you AFTER you said it wasn't fair for me because Ki84 was too good for a 38.
It's funny how you recall victories but not failures.
I will fight anyone in the Muppets, I don't care.

I don't doubt people make money off bizarre stuff like that, but the whole idea and culture of "Gamers" and "Pro Gaming" is crazy. Playing video games is just consuming media, there is next to no creative value or self improvement to playing video games.

No no there is hand-eye coordination and for some games a certain level of planning.
By the way there is relatively little of that^^^
I'd rather make money off of something I can consider a real achievement, not sitting on my bellybutton all day playing a game.

True, I know I put up 100 hour tours early on, but I didn't have any flight sim experience and I spent most of my starting years in Tanks, Bombers, and Jabbos. (Why I think it's funny when Base takers get mad at me for doing certain things, I was originally all about TEH WAR!!!)

Dragon Tamer / Player1,
We never claimed the DA was the end-all be-all. We don't really even like it. We were told the DA is "where it counts" (by many in this thread, no less) and that the MA is just for fun. That's why we bring up the DA results.
We're here for one reason: to kill. We're not here to win community awards, appreciation, or anything else. It's a game, a great game, but it's a game. If our opponents don't like us (and we constantly switch sides and end up fighting all sides), then winning in said game is that much more satisfying.
Also, I don't recall killing you while doing a cross-control stall in an LA-7. I remember fighting you about 8-9 times in a D9, but perhaps I forgot. Here's the last fight I had with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPSWhzQyngc
-=S=-
Always a pleasure to fight you.
It can't be easy with the connection you had the other night. I'd be hard pressed to hit anything with a connection that bad. Of course, I'm already pretty hard pressed to hit mucb more than the ground most sorties.
-

That wasn't my connection - that was the room and everyone was jumping at the time. Both you and Rud3boi were lagging all over the place, so much so that I saved the Fraps from it because Rud3boi kept claiming I was cheating/warping on demand.
My connection is very consistent, and rarely is lag due to something on my end.
-
The MA has been having lag for the last couple of days. Its really a pain....

That 3rd kill...the La7 noob... got owned so bad it made me chuckle. That kill was priceless.

I believe ACM stands for advanced Combat Manuver. Which is to say that a front quarter shot is as legit as a rear shot. The only difference is that the ho puts you in his gunsight also.
Now if you write a Ah ACM book and leave out the front shots then you can say it isn't a ACM
If it comes to honor technically speaking a home should be the honorable shot. Because isn't honorable to shoot someone in the back.

Hoing is a tactic...not ACM.
in another age and day yes shooting someone in the back was a cowardly act....
but in the age of dogfighting...and most especially "virtual dogfighting" where 2 or more people try to use ACM to kill one another.....
well I think you know where I am going with this. ;)

Let's clarify something
Front-quarter and head-on (HO) are not the same thing. Shooting someone from the front-quarter is not necessarily a HO.
ACM, at its core, is established to solve weapon-solution problems, which are both angular and geometric in nature. This means that if you can get your guns on the opponent, ACM has done its job. Front-quarter shots were never in question, and absolutely never have been.
What did come into question was the mutually-assured destruction we call a "head-on" attack, which implies zero or near-zero deflection. If both opponents approach each other with near-zero deflection, both can presumably shoot each other - this presents a danger to the pilot who wants to live past the engagement and is generally a no-brainer. The shot itself was still never in question, but rather the vulnerability it places you at. Yet again, the head-on attack by the very fact that it has a definition is a valid ACM tactic. It just isn't a wise one to use unless you massively outgun your opponent or are at a maneuvering and airspeed disadvantage.
So, going forward -
Front-quarter shots: Good.
Head-on shots: Iffy and generally unwise.
Now that we've established that, let's focus on front-quarter shots. You seem to imply that taking a front-quarter shot is somehow less skilled... "because ACM." No, ACM exists to bring your guns onto an opponent. Whether it's done from the front or back matters not.
The real issue here is experience. When two turnfighters meet, most are usually jockeying for angular gain at the merge, which requires being offset from the opponent. This usually precludes being able to take a shot at the same time, so you rarely run into two experienced turnfighters who will take such a shot.
However, once you introduce energy fighting tactics, things change quite a bit.
Energy fighters aren't generally preoccupied with angular gains, therefore they have no inherent requirement to offset their merges, allowing them a great amount of freedom to take shots. Mix an energy fighter (who's looking for any shot possible) with a turnfighter (who is looking almost entirely for angular gains) and the turnfighter is going to get shot up on almost every possible pass. This is simply the nature of energy vs turning tactics.
An experienced turnfighter will see this and understand the dynamic of why this is occuring. An inexperienced one, or one who has little experience to anything except his style of flight, is going to make excuses and cry and whine about said tactics, not understanding why they happen or the necessity of such shots to the other style of flight.
It never occurs to the turnfighter that if they flew head-on against the energy fighter, the energy fighter would likely avoid such shots. Instead, the turn-fighter blindly continues to try to gain angles on the merge and then complains when they are shot for presenting such an undefended target to the energy-fighting attacker.
This is merging tactics 101, and is a given in air combat sims as a whole.

That is correct. It is a tactic. And nothing more.
ACMs are a set of maneuvers that attempt to put the pilot into an advantaged position over the other. A HO is mearly two pilots flying directly toward each other blazing their guns hoping the other misses. Therefore, neither pilot has performed any advantaged maneuvers. It is a very dangerous tactic. I wouldn't even try to get in this position in real life.
There is no skill level involved in a HO other than aiming. You can set up the HO merge all day long and practice shooting each other in the face. But A. You won't have an advantage B. You are not performing a maneuver to attempt to put yourself in an advantaged position. Therefore, a HO is not ACM.
-
:headscratch: I don't get why HOing(Front Quarter shots) is such an issue, they're pretty difficult shots to make, and rather easy to avoid. If someone is going to cut in front of your flight path and not pay attention, is it wrong to make them pay for lazy SA? Here is a clip of me taking a shot at a 190 on the merge. How am I not supposed to take a shot like this? Through experience I know most 190D's won't commit to an aggressive merge when roughly co-alt and co-E, especially against a plane that handles and climbs better.
As a general rule you should always expect someone to pull the trigger when their guns are pointed at you, because in the end that what dog fighting is all about.
TBH, HO shots are the coolest looking, thats mostly why I don't understand why people get so mad about them.
-

Bingo. They're not any more of a true issue than anything else is. The predominant reason you hear about them is when players, generally turnfighters, attempt to use aggressive merging tactics to gain angles at the start of a fight. These types of merges have very big tells and can generally be shot with a good degree of consistency by someone with decent accuracy.
Typically a turnfighter tries to gain big angles at the merge, gets shot, then cries because their favorite tactic doesn't work like it did against players who didn't take the shot.
Notice you virtually never hear complaints about legitimate HO's (where both players lined-up and fired), it's almost always from a turnfighter who got nailed trying to pull lead and then claimed it was a HO that they held fire in after the fact.

TBH, HO shots are the coolest looking, thats mostly why I don't understand why people get so mad about them.
In a duel, if both players can swing around and get dead nose to nose then it resets the merge and either player should have the benefit of setting up there next ACM tactic regardless of what tactic they choose ans not have to avoid the HO shot. It is known in AH as honorable dueling. Now of you flip over first and they have not got the nose all the way around at you hit them that is a fair front quarter shot. IMO there is a big difference in that. In the MA it is fair game so you just have to avoid it. I think avoiding HOs is easy too but in the DA it is a cheap shot.
-
In the DA I try to avoid the face shots if my opponent isn't fond of them. If someone is going nose on purposely to avoid getting shot than, I'm greasing them. On the flip side I never fought a duel that wasn't in a friendly context, I like to keep thing mode light and fun.
-
Honestly in a Duel after the merge if u bring that nose to me expect me to plunge a 37mm round into it i've been in plenty of duels with players who will bring their nose HO to avoid getting shot well guess what u wanna bring ur nose HO then expect lead in your face. Only time i complain about getting HOed is when there is a whole horde shooting at me and thats just out of frustation :bhead
