I requires skill to avoid the HO and then come around and get the kill using skill. HOing is a "valid" tactic if you're working with no skill or talent. I will say, though, if you come head on at me, when I'm in my 110G2, I will pull the trigger and watch you go boom. I will also stall fight a zero in the plane. I much prefer a good kill versus a CHEAP HO kill, but will take the shot on any fool who wants to HO me.
