I'll usually avoid the HO at all costs. Every once in a while I'll oblige the tardlets though. Had a B pony come at me three times the other day with tons of altitude and speed. I avoided all three HOs while thinking to myself "this guy is an idiot." On the fourth pass, I unleashed all 8 of my brownings. Hope he learned something.

I love it when a guy gets the occasional lucky shot when I screw up my timing trying to avoid his HO. I'll call him out on 200 for his tardliness and he'll promptly tell me it was a deflection shot and sometimes threatens to post film. I could care less because I know the ONLY reason it was a "deflection shot" is because I didn't put my nose on him and go toe to toe.

What's really funny is when idiots talk smack about how good they are at HOing as if it takes great skill to get a multiple cannon armed plane and point it straight at some other guy and fire without blinking.

I prefer to HO as it takes all the manoeuvring stuff out of the equation.

Barring a lot of radiator hits in my Tiffie it's a pretty succesful tactic.

One the dumbest statements ever in a game about combat!

There is a definite lack of understanding of sarcasm in this game.

Yes I HO occasionally, I turn occasionally, and I BNZ ocaasionally usually dependent on what I'm flying.

I probably have the most fun in an FM2 but the lack of climb rate means I'm in trouble against anything that has any sort of vertical ability. Next favourite is a Tiffie and I really don't turn with anything usless I really have to, the thing is a brick compared to most late war planes in a turn especially with a good stick in the other plane. In an FM2 I don't HO very often because I can usually get a better firing solution in a Tiffie I probably do more front quarter shot because if I play with my food too long I lose the advantage. Once you lose the advantage bad things happen.

I'm seeing people rolling dice and then complaining about the outcome. I just don't get it

This statement applies to life in its entirety. Not just some head on pass in a game. Is it not true that even in marriage you took a roll of the dice, and will probably complain about the outcome.? Is it not true that everyday you step into a car and drive, your rolling the dice? I once ate a Texas whopper from burger king, an hour later I was complaining about the outcome. Death is the only thing that's final, even if you dive down on an enemy aircraft's 6' your odds are still 50/50 of coming home. You have the advantage for the moment, but until they are dead, you are rolling the dice. I understand HOings unpopular stance, but I also understand it happens, its not going away. So HO on my brother's, because its not the aircraft that needs killing, but the beating heart of the man inside it.

when someone fly's strait at me and makes no attempt to pull away, I'm usually in a 110, so blasting some dweeb in the face who doesn't know better than to HO (Especially a 110)...Oh well, tough beans. Most HO'ers figure out quick that usually you both die. The system tells both of you, you have been shot down. This was the system discourages the out-right HO. However, it ain't perfect.

W7LPNRICK, I remember I was comming up on you in your 110, and didn't realize we were nose on nose. You fired those damn WGr21's and almost blew my 109 out of the air.

HoTARDS are the same as the coaches of of my sons' football teams who would teach that "if you don't get caught breaking the rules, you haven't broken the rules", to win at all costs. This ISN'T real life, it's a game of talent and skill, of which HoTARDS have absolutely none. In real life, they take the easy way out, bragging about their "success". They're the Mitt Romneys of the world, often bullies, ALWAYS displaying a lack of ethics.
Often narcissistic, they laud their "skills"(non-existant) and the dubious "fact" that they PWNed their opponent. HoTards are the ones that clog the chat channels with their self aggrandizement serving NO purpose in the game but to annoy those who actually have skill and talent.
