Since we learn best by experiencing a phenominon vs. the abstract of pictures, diagrams, and elloquent oratory. Why not agree to have HiTech enable collisions to damage both planes for one night a week on big tuesday's for a while. One or two would do. He can place a disclaimer in the arena message in LARGE LETTERS. I bet the threads would be, puleeeseee Mr. HiTech Sir. Bring back the old collisions....Puleeeeseeeeee. ......

HiTech I vote yes for an object lesson of this nature...hehehehehe....watch out what ya's wish for guys....the universe answers in spades....hehehehe:t

That is almost too sadistic to even consider. However, it would still be amusing. Maybe one of these days we'll push HT over the edge, and find out for certain. :)

Not quite - in Robert S. Johnson's book "Thunderbolt!", he describes how a P-47 once struck a telegraph pole after attacking a field.  The pole was obliterated, and the P-47 flew back to base with a bit of telegraph pole in its wing. :)

I am sure I will regret this....but,
If I accept that the collision model does work to the extent that it does detect a collision then I think it is reasonable to expect damage to both planes. Also if both planes start with zero damage than maybe it is also reasonable to expect both planes to end up with roughly the same amount of damage that is scaled to their total allowable damage. I would think that a B-24 wing could take more damage than a Spitfire wing, however a Spitfire wing is probably about as vulnurable to collision damage as another single seat fighter's wing. So IMO it is reasonable to expect a wing to wing collision between two single seat fighters, in a game, to cause about the same amount of damage to each aircraft. I am certain that I do not understand how the damage in a collision is dolled out in the game, but any change to the way it works won't change the way I feel about. I think it could be improved but I will live with what they have and be glad for the parts of the game I enjoy and can have some success with. I do wonder why pilot wounds are not more common in collisions

As for the film viewer screen shots. I guess I just take that with a grain of salt. Sort of like instant replay in football. All of the collisions that I have filmed look like they actually happened.

See, I  knew I would regret  this.....where is that delete button

Maybe some one could translate the screen shots with a Big Chief tablet and some of those really big crayons for you.

Next time someone collides with you and you DON'T also collide with them review the film, then maybe you'll get it.... maybe.

Yes, because you filmed them.  If you had seen the film the other guy made or whould have made, then on his it would look like a miss.

That is what you are misunderstanding.  The simulated world we play in is different on each person's version of AH.  Not a lot different, but enough to mean one person collides and the other does not.
