You only take damage if you collide on your end............... jeez this is getting old.

EDIT oops HT already posted

connection speed has nothing......repeat nothing.... to do with it.

error between FE's is cumulative (your lag plus his lag) so differential error is the same

connection integrity (packet loss) may influence stuff but HT says not.

it may have been lag, but it did happen. i didnt say that that happens a lot, only once at 400 yrds, and a few at 100, but it has happened i promise you. its not the games collision model but the way the collision model deals out damage. it is fine as it is, and i understand that changing it would cause more problems. but i just find it maddening you know? me losing a wing and him flying on with nothing wrong at all

there's nothing that can really be done to change it without it getting worse i understand, but oh god, the times i have logged off after 5 sorties of base defense, each one ending in under 60 secs, and each time dying of a ram.

"is enough to make me want to buy a plane ticket to their house and bash their head through the monitor."

There is medication to help you with that problem you've got.

If thats what happens to you Poo....(please dont take thsi wrong)....its not AH, its not the collision model -- its your flying.

Change your style, change your choices, adn the problem will go away.

this is what I dont like either. I post an opinion and when someone insults me their posts dont get removed. However if I were to respond to him in the same manner i get see rule number 4. Why is that? I wasnt calling anyone out. I didnt make any insults towards anyone and if I were to insult him back in a defensive way my post gets removed. Why is it that way? I wasnt making fun of anyone he is. Why is his post still up here>

No, really, this is not a troll

Is it really that easy? WTG SuperBK for being first

I die what.... three times a tour due to ram?

WOW, *now* i know why my stats are so bad. Must be the ram model.

Seriously, if you die to Rams very frequently, try rethinking your fighting style.

Revor, stop and think a second.

You posted that you wanted to samsh somebody's face into their monitor.
You did not get edited or squelched.

Why on Gods green earth would you expect a joks about meds to get cut?

If you honestly would expect his little jibe to get pulled, you need to give some thought to your own attitude and statements.

USHilDvl · « **Reply #23 on:** February 16, 2006, 11:00:03 AM »

You threaten violence...get called out for it...and consider it an insult?

Dude...fly with a little more distance, develop a little more patience, and try experimenting with NOT threatening to "bash someone's head"...you might even get somewhere.

Come on, already.

Westy · « **Reply #24 on:** February 16, 2006, 11:01:52 AM »

Where's the insult? From your post above and others in the past it's as plain as day that you have deep seated emotional problems which cause your desire for violence. It was purely out of of concern that I offered my bit of advice.

And um, peace, love and happiness!

Ahh yes.. naturally since there are all those AH sheep around, there must also be a ram model ???

In American English, "beating a dead horse" is an idiom which is most often used as a retort used to make clear that a particular request or line of conversation is already foreclosed, mooted, or otherwise resolved. In Australian English and British English, the phrase is more usually rendered as "flogging a dead horse

i dont die due to rams because of me, it usually happens when i've just upped trying to defend a base, and i have no speed and no e to dodge the several guys that try to vulch, i get of the way of the bullets, but they always go right into me, and it always seems that im the one on the bad end of the collision.

im not whining about rams, what im saying is that it seems unfair at times that both people dont get damaged. and i know it isnt going to work like that, but you know, i just get frustrated.

when i get rammed there is usually nothing i can do to stop it. its usually when im low and slow and 10 guys try to get me at once, sweeping in with too much speed and going right into me. and they never take damage because it appears on my screen first, and im down before they hit me on their screen. thats what i get annoyed about

Once again you have a false perception of what is going on. What you describe is not posible. When you seem to say you understand (lag) it is obvious to me that you still do not.

It is not that you disapered before they got there (and that is why you think they didn't collide), it is that you disapeared (do to the collision) after they had already past you. What they saw is you comming towared them and they controled there plane to NOT COLLIDE WITH YOU . After you passed they saw you exploded.

You saw them comming toword you and controled your plane to COLLIDE WITH THEM and hence did.

another thing to think about is this, did the other AC squeeze off some rounds right before u were at the collision point... I do it wall the time in a 38 or 110 (anything with good guns), if someone trys to HO me i'll aim right for the cockpit and squeeze until they blow up and fly right through there wreckage, works especially well with tracers off

... not saying this is what actually did happen but it is possible. And if he hit you in the cockpit, it wouldn't take many rounds at all, possibly only 1, so it could be hard to tell. Run film next time and post it, your not going to get anything accomplished by just whining about it, post a film and then you can find out exactly what happened
