Per HT about a thousand times (hyperbole), if you are involved in a collision, and only receive a "PlayerX collided with you", and not a "You have collided" message, and you took damage, you took it from guns, not the collision.

I've been in literally dozens of collisions in the recent past (I can only surmise that all the new subscribers and 2weekers are learning about our collision model the hardway), and while the parts I lose sometimes amaze me (flaps in a 109? tailwheel? what's a tailwheel? hell, what are flaps?), it seems to be working pretty well. I get a lot of kills from guys plowing into the back of me, while I'm often lucky enough to take just a few gun hits and continue fighting. Free kills are good, right?

I've been sitting in the rear gun of an il2 plenty of times and watch some dude come barreling through and collided with me....

I was straight and level...well and slow... -but i didn't cause the ram...dude hitting me did, but I'll take damage....

only case I've found where you can take damage without causing a ram

I *THINK* what a lot of you are missing is that a component can be damaged WITHOUT losing it.

Say you collide and lose an aleron. That is the only feedback you got. You may have damaged the wing 90% and a couple of 303's would take it off now. We don't have that level of feedback from the system.

A fuel leak is the same way. your empenage (sp?) cold be cut 3/4 of the way through by his prop, but the only thing 'damaged' enough to show up is a fuel leak.

Maybe HT can code in 3 levels of damage (since it would be only at the End User system) where after 50% damage, a component goes yellow in the damage list.

Ouch out
