Off nose or tail?


Coming in a beam is high aspect. 



 
[edit]  ...to me.  If nose to nose is considered high aspect, I can accept that, but that definition seems unhelpful.   

To me nose to nose or nose to tail are low aspect as in their relative movement across the LOS is slower than what I call high aspect when they are traversing at 90 deg.

Regardless, whiners will whine about "HO" they initiated or agreed to or just got caught not paying attention.

By definition it is "high aspect," but most players actually complain about a shot perpendicular to their cockpit as they lose a one-circle fight. In that scenario, it's really about angle-off. Aspect is almost irrelevant from what I've seen players whine about here. I understood what you meant.

Couple that with the incessant one-circle fights and, well, aspect doesn't matter so much as all fights TEND to devolve to the same thing here.

The attempt to correct me for not correcting you is just pent-up anger that he quit the game because of me.

Well, he let Dolby back after a permanent ban.

It happens occasionally.

If someone was banned and wants to come back, they should simply ask and see what the answer is.

Can we get this thread locked early or does it need to go 20 more pages before it erodes and suffers the same fate as all the rest...just feeding the troll and his precious yet fragile ego

Why do you want to shut people down rather than just not read what you are not interested in?

Don't you hate it when people shut down your politics instead of just not reading what they are not interested in?

As I understand it, aspect is your bearing to target relative to its heading, regardless of your heading. If you are directly in front then that is the highest aspect to target for you and is 180 degrees. Both wings, 90 degrees. Tail 0 degrees. The higher the number of degrees the higher the aspect. Know or not knowing this reflects not at all on one's ability to fly ACM.

So hitting and consistently making the hardest shot in the game says you're not very good? Seems like you're either unfamiliar with ACM and logic, or just very emotional.

In either case, can't wait to see you in game again.
You don’t make that shot consistently against me unless I’m otherwise occupied or decide to oblige. Like I said. I get bored after you do it more than twice and either give you my six or let bullets fly.

You got really mad the other night a week or two ago when you didn’t HO me. Even announced it on 200. Accusing me of “running” when I wasn’t stupid enough to make 180 degree turn and try to follow you up when I was lower and slower. You had plenty of smash to run me down even in that A5. Just not in the enemy traffic you were in and you paid for it. That really made you upset. Then you loaded up your 152 came screaming in again, missed the HO and got me after a turn or two when I snapped it. Then you died instantly because I set you up. Had I not spun it (admittedly a mistake on my part) you would’ve died without your revenge. Not because I pulled the trigger but because you were so hot headed that you sacrificed everything to come after little ole me.

Then there was the encounter quite some time ago we met in fighter town. Just you me and Flipz who happened to be on my team and you conveniently ignored. I was in a D-25 and you were in an LA-7. I dodged two HOs and on the third I let bullets fly. You were smoking and I lost a wing. I upped again. This time you didn’t HO because you probably didn’t think you’d survive another burst with your busted up LA-7. You went vertical (like you could’ve done any of the previous times) and took me out.

It’s not that you’re not good. I think everyone here will acknowledge that you ARE very good. You’re just, for the most part, lazy. You prefer kills to fights. You prefer grief to fun. You take everything too seriously.

Now I can expect to be griefed (wasn’t someone banned for griefing?) in game because you’re gonna show me how good you are and HOing? Color me not surprised. Clearly I’m not the emotional one.

No offense.  Most people are blocked around here.  I open them when I want to hear what they say.

You weren't blocked recently.

Yeah I get you.

Angle off Nose\tail is more of what I should have said.

Thinking on it, nose-to-nose being high aspect does make more sense if you are talking about rear aspect missiles.  Nose to nose would be the most difficult PK.

For guns, to me obviously Nose to nose or nose to tail require the least lead so I think of it like a sine wave.

But it is useful to use the official terms to avoid confusion.
