A tactic as old as flight simming itself...

back at ya man 

I take it you're laughing at yourself, because you lack the skill to fight? I agree, that is funny.

I put a clip of a olden oldie with a caption that was basically meant to be a joke and it sparks a five page flame war?

WTF?

Anyway, I avoid HO's like the plague when playing Red Baron (yes, I still play it - Thanks, DOSBox).  Why?  Because I want kills but I want to land them.

Ok clue me in...how is getting shot in the front of the head different from getting shot in the back of the head?  Other than the open casket question, in which case any head shot is likely to close the lid?

Much more dangerous attacking con from the front.... your open to his guns too.

No HOs threads and parts of a thread are nothing more than a bully pulpit.

  I dont HO for my own reasons. But some of your reaoning on not HOing is flawed. Mostly because a HO is clearly defined both have a gun solution. However if I am there 1 sec before the other guy that is technically not a HO. After a defined HO it is pure speculation and personal preference. Hey I have a gun solution and I pull the trigg then its other guys fault for pulling into my stream of bullits.

HOW many of you really see a HO on other than the 1st merge. If you have what are you doing in that position? It is clearly better to have vertical seperation on the merge. Like mergeing under the other con. YOU can Technically only HO a noob if he doesnt understand a thing and you still have to fly straight for his gunsight.

Then some of you go in sloppy overgeneralizations on what a fight should be.

Come on guys you have to follow the guy up to get roped. But most of you avoid it and dont think twice about it. Avoid the HO and there wont be one. I just think Most NO HO guys dont want any frontal shot but they are the first to do it when they get a slight advantage on the merge. Ive fought a few of you that will turn past the con you are fightings gun solution to get a better postion betting they won't "HO". Because they are afraid to offend after some slop they read on the BB,s  But when you get the tinest lead you pull the trigger.

If we want to overgeneralize what a good fight is,Bnz and roping are lamer tactics that a HO. How many of you always saddle up on the guys six before you pull the trigger.

NO HO is Epic FAIL

I have that very distinct sound of Spit16 guns "doppler effecting" right by me as I dodge their sad attempt at a rare air kill engrained in my head.  Such a common sound in this game that is packed tight with tards these days.

If you haven't gotten it by now, you never will.

Agreed but it is still a legitimate shot.  Not a smart one, but sometimes necessary, and certainly not a shot that should be demonized.

[Delirium]

About the only time I'll HO is outnumbered by a large margin or when someone performs a lead turn so early that he is flying across my nose.

And what is yours, Shuffler? Black eye for Texans? ... Americans?
