Anyone watching "dogfighting" on the History channel?

One thing I find interesting.  Ho'ing was not only acceptable it was a common American tactic against the lighter Japanese planes.

Real life pilots didn't have to listen to their opponent whine after they killed them either.

Thats the difference between life and death and virtual fighting.


Hoeing in life is your life


Hoeing in a game makes people pissed off!!

Far too many, if not most, people on this Board post just to say something opposed to posting when they have something to say.

K, here is the difference.  

Real Life
The only thing available to them was the P40.  They could not choose a different plane.  If they tried anything else vs the Japanese planes, they were dead.  HOing was their best and probably only option.  

Game
YOU have a choice of planes.  YOU have the choice to up again after you die. So, if you are flying something that can only HO, YOU are an idiot.  Get in a plane that can fight.  Stop using the acts of desperate people fighting for their lifes as an excuse to be a retard in a video game.  Try fighting! you may like it.   Flying for 10 minutes only to collide with someone in a HO attempt is a waste of time for both of you.  What is the point of paing to play a game with 'fighters' if you are not willing to fight?

If you just 'like' hoing, that is fine.  Just please stop using these stupid excuses for it.

According to this, anybody flying some certain planes HTC has made available, automatically qualifies as an "idiot" ???

There isn't a plane in real life (or the game) that can ONLY HO.

I'm just bringing up the topic on the show.  In the battles they recreated, the Americans were flying f6fs.  The previous show had p40s from the flying tigers, and they did ho too.

I'll ho if out numbered, or sometimes when escorting a squadie.  I don't need a stupid excuse for it.   I always though HT should not allow a ho'ing pilot to up from the same airfield, but I don't know how difficult that would be to code.

Thats "pilots" who can't be bothered to learn ACM and deflection shooting, big difference.

So you agree with BB.  That is what he is saying.

Anyone one who HOs in a 1v1 or when they outnumber and opponent is just proving they have used all of their available skills up and have to resort to acts of desperation.

No hopefully you would use your airplane's advantages in ACM against the hurris weaknesses and not just desperately ho.  ;)

As my aunt from the country would say, "They Lord Gawd!"  I believe Bugs bunny just pwnt!  That is the best statement on the matter Ive read!  
I might add... the p-40's would not turn to lose their E as doing so meant certain death, so as you BnZ'd along and came into contact with an enemy to do a manuver to avoid the HO would have cost you a little yet very valuable E.  So they made the choice to shoot and take a 50% chance of dying, or turning and take an 80% chance of getting caught slow, which was 100% chance of dying!  :aok
