I squelch you in the game, and apparently I also have to do it on the forums.
Why are you such a ******* anyway?

All the trash talking gets old real quick and just makes you look immature and a jerk.
But please...continue making yourself look bad.

it takes two to fly head on at each other.

it can only take 1 to fire the head on shot.

stop playing BS with the HO shot.  The HO shot is a absolutely LEGITIMATE shot, and takes skill to both apply and avoid.

What is total contemptable BS is the HO Rammer.  Rather than avoid the collision, this idiot wants it, and enjoys doiing his part in ruining the game.

If you're looking for honor, you're playing the wrong game. I learned a long time ago that most people want the kill, even if it means dying themselves. There have been times that I have flown 100 miles behind the lines to land a wounded set of bombers, only to have a P51, who tailed me with droptanks, to swoop in and kill me as I'm on final. People in this game give no quarter and honestly you shouldn't expect it. Just fly and have fun, yeah it sucks to get shot down and it sucks even more to get shot down in really lame ways but oh well, it's a game. Have fun.

Someone else already mentioned it, but i'll say it too: Honor in some pilots does exist, but you can never expect it. Let people off the hook if you really want to and you think they've deserved it somehow, but NEVER expect someone to do it to you.

IMO, letting someone off the hook gives them an opportunity to become a threat to you again. Once you have someone on the rocks, only a sentimental fool lets them go. Of course if they can not be a threat once you let em go, eg they're on fire or engine stopped etc, then thats a different mattter and letting them go/ditch becomes an option if you really want. A smoke trail just means you didnt do your job properly.

It seems you bought this situation on yourself anyway. You go into a hot zone, out-numbered, out-E'd, and get tagged then turn tail and try escape and fail. Not to mention how you got tagged. I never understand the people who say 'i wont fire on a HO if they arent firing'. Thats just weird. Firstly, most of the time its over too fast to make those sort of decisions - if you see them firing, you've left it too late to retaliate anyways, so you've opened yourself up to getting hit with nothing to show for it. Secondly, some people (like me) fly with tracers off, so you wont see it anyways. Thirdly, why the hang are you flying straight at another aircraft till you pass HO anyway??? You're giving up valuable maneuvering time. When i see these "cold-merger" types in the MA, i give em a good squirt as they fly by. It aint the DA, we aint dueling. If you don't defend yourself at all times, then you're asking for it, IMO.

Legitimate shot for cheapshot morons!  This is a game, if you want to fly through HOing everything like a moron, then don't come in here and claim legitimacy!   Maybe if this were real life and death war, then kill the guy anyway you want to, but this is a dogfighting game, and HOing is a cheapshot tactic in a 1 vs 1!  If you're outnumbered, then by all means HO away, but 1 vs 1, it's cheap!!  Maybe you and Halycon, can get together for some lunch???

Just last night I uped from a field in a 109g2 with a lone k4 and 110 strafing the town... I knew the k4 was a clueless tyke cuz hes strafing buildings in a k4...ok so Boom he's dead...the 110 is on autoclimb about 1k on top of me, probably afk. So I hit the WEP making my DB605 scream for all she could climbing up to this 110 and some other friendly comes on vox and says "hey plat, I think the 110's afk, you gonna shoot em down?" I'm like Hell yea. Then he's like "ok but there no honor in it"

In my head im like and? so wat. I can give two chits if he's AFK or not.

Honor? Pffttt... PUH-leeeze...

Oh BTW the 110 went boom-boom too :aok


that wasn't a lack of honor on your part.....it was a lack of intelligence on HIS part.......who the heeeelllll goes afk in a combat zone???????????:O

I remember those "days of honor" from AW where a bingo call got you a free ride home.  What the H*** were we thinking?

Where do you draw the line of honor?  What about playing at a disadvantage?  Alt, speed or unmatched planes?

Spits to the left, Yaks to the right, spin your partner dosey doe.  Yehaw!

Times have changed.  I'll kill anything I can get a shot on short of kill-stealing.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

It depends, if the guy put up a good fight and I know he's out of ammo I sometimes let him run. Just depends if the guy tried to HO me or play dirty. If he was a good honest fight I'll let him go. If he tried to HO me, then I'll chase him all the way back to his base..lol
