HO or no HO?
« on: July 20, 2011, 02:25:41 PM »
Sequence of six screenshots:








Pulled trigger here:

Rounds landed:


I think no HO since he had no gun solution on me, esp when I pulled the trigger.

Not a HO. His guns were never pointed at you and by the looks of it you two were maneuvering.

Almost, but he's the one who turned right into your guns.

There's a certain group that thinks a HO is ONLY when both planes have guns shots on each other, and it takes 2 to HO. I think they are mistaken and very myopic.

I think he tried to turn into you so hard he put himself in front of your guns. I think if you want to get technical, the very moment you shot him it was a HO, but you didn't mauver for it and it was HIS fault for turning right into your gunsight like that.

So technically yes, but the only reason he would cry out "You HOer!" is because he's mad at being shot down.

That would include me.  If the other guy can't pull the trigger when I do, I consider it not a head on shot, but a high angle deflection shot.  Had he been guns on me, I would not have pulled the trigger.

Not a HO, but due to Lag it is entirely possible to the other pilot that it was a headon...but he appears to turn into your guns.

A Hot to Hot aspect shot, in the same class with a HO. Mind you, that is a good shot you took there, if a little HO-Hinty.
If your actual life depended on it, and not a cartoon, no one would turn it down. But in a 1vs1 cartoon knife fight, you effectivly kicked him the nuts.

Seeing who was involved in this, I think you two already know the answer and that there is a hidden message to your post.   :noid

He ended up below me and to my right and at no point was he able to shoot and hit me.  No collision either.

Is that really technically a HO to you?  :headscratch:

If it is, why?

Agreed, that was not a ho, the other player was about 20 degrees away from having a gun solution.
