Did I HO Limbo0?

[grizz441]

Not sure if we just watched the same film but that's a HO all the way in my book.  Exactly how much closer to Nose to Nose is Limbo expected to bring it for guns off?  If Limbo had pulled any further he would have rammed the crap out of you.  It's a bad place to be on the bottom of that because I would argue the plane on top has a little bit more flexibility of taking shots like that but that was pretty blatant in my book.  Had I taken that shot, which is possible in the heat of the moment, I would have apologized and scratched the duel.  Also, if you would have started firing earlier when you had finished the turn then stopped when he came nose to nose, I would have said that was clean.

you could have been on his dead six, he will cry HO. 

Sounds like oDallaso

believe it or not I was HOd from behind once   Internet was lagging really bad and the guy was warping, saw him warp past me and then start shooting and I died

In the MA you'd take that shot every time, in a duel its a little close to nose to nose , and most duellers would pass
up that shot and work for more position.

Yep.  And in the MA, the random P38 you were fighting would have just pulled up into you for the ram and you would have called him a ace pilot, then he would have called joo a ram tard and then a 200 poo flinging fest would be underway!

LOL i hit someone in the bottom of the plane in KOTH and they called it a ho and i got kicked out, This was a while ago not last night.

No one has ever been kicked out of a King of the Hill because they did a Head On.
(sigh)

My thinking at that moment was that he couldn't have pulled any tighter. I'm hardly an excellent stick who knows exactly what my opponent could or couldn't do, I make mistakes. I'd love to re do the duel anytime, but as you can probably tell we weren't there for a few friendly rounds. Which is unfortunate because he's obviously no slouch and I'd love to ask him questions about a few things he did.

Thanks Bone, those spitfires sure make for some fun duels. I couldn't figure out the flaps though, it seemed when I dropped them vs you or kazaa the fight ended shortly after. Should I be keeping the flaps up for everything except going over the top? At any rate 'twas a fun time until everyone disappeared on me, lol.

so what is it that would make one "Loathing" enough to cause them to create a new gameid ?

You are right. Obviously I'm not a new guy fresh off my two weeks, but reading deep into my name wouldn't be accurate, it's just one that I've used in other games. Just looking for a fresh start and a different perspective.

next time you see me on m8 send a pm my way alot easier to explain by showing you than telling 

[crazyivan]

Ignore Limbo, hes a complete tool in many different ways.

He would've taken that right corner panel shot if he got the piper on your nose!

[Max]

Not a HO from your film. I would have taken the shot without hesitation.

How much closer would he have to get for you to hold guns?  Even if he avoided the ram by 5 yds, the entire top section of Limbo's aircraft would have flown in front of Loathing's guns.  Would you still fire?  If that is the case, it seems to me the only way to deter some from taking that shot is to intentionally ram the aircraft on top.  Otherwise there's no such thing as a HO in this setup.

From Loathings perspective, it looked like Limbo could have been trying to turn and face him, but didn't quite have the turn rate available to do so, especially since Loathing wasn't using zoom.
