In real life collisions you die, so will you in aces high. What's the big deal?

Whenever I collide with someone I don't cry HTC to make them so that the collision kills the OTHER guy not me who collided in the first place. I simply try to avoid collisions in the future.

You should too. :lol

I agree.......the one who does the colliding should be the one that dies..........and the damage from debris collisions should be reduced greatly.

The problem is the determination of who did the colliding on BOTH front ends.

If it says THEY collide with YOU they ARE supposed to take damage. HOWEVER, several times I've seen "So-and-so has collided with you" (most recently my last sortie tonight, a P-51 pork/ho dweeb) but while my engine dies or I lose a wing or some other important bit, he flies merrily on his way.

I think it's been determined there's a lag issue involved. It says he collided with you on your FE, but HIS FE doesn't register it.

The BEST solution would be to just have both take damage. No complaining about the ram dweebs getting off scott free that way.

Although personally I'd prefer to see determination of who gets the kill fixed LONG before rams (***Steaming over the effectively intact, NOT-smoking, NO missing pieces Mosquito he shot the holy hell out of and lit on fire, but STILL only got an assist for***).
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I would love for HT actually going ahead a change this thing, then hear the whining when people realize what they asked for.

I recently moved and my PC is now on a temporary wireless connection. Before I moved I Rarely if Ever would collide. Now on the wireless it is almost an hourly event. I am forever getting this message. About 70% of the time it does not result in damage to my plane.

Im not sure what the difference is, coincidence? Im not sure but I will agree that most are not happy with the collision model. HT has been pretty much solid on his stance that its as good as it can be and it isnt going to change.

I for one would be much more angry with the model if I started dying and my FE never saw a collison. And really this is what your asking for becasue if there is a collision both planes should be falling out of the sky, doesnt matter who caused the crash.

The problem is that the one who does the colliding usually flies away undamaged because of his better net connction.........lets make it fair for all.  Kill whoever does the colliding on any front end.  People will make sure they miss by a wider margin that way.

You guys are colliding a lot? Why not fly father away? I collided around 3-4 times this month so far and they were times I knew that it would happen.


Your best bet it to fly like you don't want to collide.

How so?

It's been explained (more than once) how it works.  If I see the collision on my end, I get the message "You have collided"...the other person gets the message "Someone collided with you"

So, if I see the collision and get the "You have collided" message, how does my "better" connection prevent me from taking damage?  At this point the system knows I collided (it knows to display the message), so why would it stop stop short of inflicting damage because of a me having a "better" connection?
