I HAVE DIED TO COUNTLESS RAMS AND ITS BS!!!11!!
After 5 years, you'd think I'd know when I'm "close enough" and when I'm "waaay too close". You'd be wrong.

I have a lot of collisions, and while there are some when I'm not exactly sure what happened, and a few when I was outright baffled, in all circumstances (with one exception), I was just simply cutting distances and merges far too close.
The one exception is bombers; I see some wild stuff at times when the lead plane is killed, and have slammed into a drone attempting to fly between planes, only to find that a drone now occupies the space I'm passing through at 400mph.

Even this random occurance can be chalked up to poor judgement.
Anyway, yeah, it certainly beats having everyone fly right through you, and collisions have given me many free kills. Works well enough for me.
