Some time ago, on a quiet day in LW, I was flying over to pork a base when I got a call on 200 from someone in another country who wanted to know if I would be interested in a duel over the base I was flying to. I said sure. I am such a poor pilot and when I get these requests I take people up on them since I always seem to learn from them.
We meet as agreed at about 10K SW off the base and we went at it. I pointed my nose at him three times and let my cannons rip. Thats three HOs I counted said my opponent, just before he flipped his plane onto my six and blew me out of the air.
What was he thinking I said to myself I didnt HO him! Later that day I found out that HO stood for Head On. HO Head On. Head-On HO. (Even though I had been on the game for a year I had assumed that a HO was in effect a RAM. Maybe my wife is right and I am just an idiot).
Well this event and posts here got me thinking about whether or not a HO is unethical, poor gamesmanship, etc. What about the RAM, Spying, volching, etc. Just what is unethical in Aces High?
Im not sure that I always know. But I thought that I would like to know your thoughts. So here is a poll.
For purposes of this poll, Ill define unethical behavior as behavior that is not illegal but perhaps none-the-less wrong. So for example using a third party program to improve your fire is illegal it is against the rules of the game it is a cheat. Spying is not a cheat, but is it still wrong?
You can vote for all, some or none of the poll questions below. It is up to you.
If you think of other AH ethical questions let me know and Ill see if I can add it to the list.
The HO
The RAM
The SPY
The AIRFLIED TROOP DROOP
The BOMB & BAIL
The CHUTE Kill
The FAKE 200 MESSAGE
The FAKE CHECK 6
The TANK TOWN Capture
The VOLCH
Poll and questions continued in another post (image limitations in forum)
