Or...

One plane rolling or landing. Fifteen cons defending the field, and the five or so red planes that pop up always go for the vulch rather than neutralize the bigger threats....

So true!

not complaining they ho. I don't care how anyone else plays game as long as its fair.

When guy goes for ho i know hes easy kill. only time ho'ing cons scarey is when your fighting 1 guy and here comes horde hoing you as you fight guy.

And i might say to new guy or vet shooting a plane on fire no wings not cool.

other than that if you go for ho Please do not complain when you lose. 99% of guys seeing you cry on 200 losing ho know you just lost jousting match.

flying a tempest I get atleast 4 or 5 ho attempts a sortie. Only died to 1 ho and that was a tempest I was chasing. I didn't think guy in tempest would ho. I learn lesson Guys will ho in perk planes too thought since his team had 180 players we had 48 didn't think he would just peepee perks away.

You missed my point Rod.

I can't remember who it was, but I was in a 1A Corsair and ran across a -4. The guy didn't have a CLUE how to use the thing. All he did was try and HO every time I had him out in front. Finally I got just enough off-angle on his front quarter I could press an attack without eating a face full of .50cal in return.

Not saying anything about it being a waste of perks, but the F4U-4 has WAY too many tools to ignore them all and go for the HO.

Cute, but no I'm not always right, however when not in a gv, I'm usually facing HO's.

Keep directing anger towards me, I feed off of it, and laugh while you get even more pissed off at a game.

Wait, you're with the IL2 crowd. My bad, same "style" though.

Wrong again hate IL...sorry to keep dissapointing you...you will be alright.

LTARghst · « **Reply #39 on:** February 17, 2007, 02:15:31 PM »

Nothing you could do to possibly anger me. So if you feed off it you will starve.

To those who can avoid the Ho, ~~, to those who can Ho before being Ho'ed, ~~. Maybe in another 5 years I'll get it all figured out~~~~

To Mars, Mash, Rod and others:

Why HO, you ask? Its part of the "mentality" you deride.

In the AvA, I rarely / almost never HO; because in there, it is all about the fight. This matches up with the "mentality" you folks play with every day in the MA.

In the MA, my "mentality" is different because it isn't just about the fight to me. In the MA we have a goal outside of pure fighting, such as capturing or defending a base.

When in that mode, the main thing is to get the other guy out of the sky as quickly as possible so he does not have the chance to mess up what you are trying to accomplish (examples: notice / kill the M-3 or goon, or simply outlast you until more help arrives for his side, trying to break up their base cap, etc.).

If that means HOing him, so be it. It gets him out of the sky and buys the rest of the team time to get the job done. The goal at that point is something other than having that marvelous ACM fight you folks are looking for.

If I want an ACM fight I personally go to the AvA or (rarely) the DA. No one else is depending on me to do my part for the "goal" in there. But in the MA, it's "goon is close, clear the sky", and if that means HOing that guy who is headed in my direction, darned right I do it.

I don't expect you to agree with it, just trying to explain it.

~~P.S. LMAO ghst, I thought you understood the collision model!~~

The only ltar I have run across that doesn't instinctively "HO" is.......... Ltarget.

Just my experience.

Amazing I really can careless if someone HO's me or not as I normally win them. I've cold passed a 110G2 in a spit1, with him firing and missing, only to shoot him down on the next pass.

Again, Don't mistake lack of talent for genius.
