I AM a slow learner, never figure out why the ... is it needed to ramm on the runway
There's obviously no
need... But there was obviously a
desire... And really, that's enough. It's a game after all.
If you're zipping around in a jet picking off the guys who are really interested in a different type of fight, you're minimizing their fun. To return the favor, they need to drop what they're doing and take your jet away.
Fighting against a 262, the HO is a pretty dang effective tactic. It's probably the single-best option for any pilot in a "conventional" plane to land some effective hits, and is actually probably the safest way for them to fight (assuming they don't plan to fly through you). Hit or miss, it's going to make the 262 driver a little less likely to tangle with you.
I'm guessing the ram on the runway had more to do with pissing you off than with anything else. If you were ranting on chnl 200, I'd practically guarantee it.
Strategically, it's even effective... Anything they can do to take your perks away makes it less likely that you'll lift another 262 and return to the fight with it.
The goal is really multi-fold. Take away your perks, and make it less fun for you to fly the uber-plane. Based on your thread, they may be accomplishing just that.
Alone against a crowd or not, you're nearly untouchable in that thing if you fly it with any skill at all. I'd expect an HO from any enemy plane that can accomplish it. For that matter, I'd expect that while you're in any other plane too. You won't always be HO'ed, of course, but you'll go much further if you begin to expect it and prepare for it.
