If you see the message "You have collided" your front end sends to the other guy, "96Delta collided with you"

If the other guy collides you will recieve the message "Soandso Colieded with you" And if you do not see the message "You have collided" Then you missed him.

There's still a lot of talk in the arena about guys seeing the "Soandso collided with you" message, and yet THEY were the ones tumbling out of the sky while the guy who did the colliding flies off without a scratch. I understand that it's not how the model is supposed to work, but what IS happening?

Saxman, this could be due to the other guy colliding guns blazing. He might simply have shot you.

I had a classic such situation a while ago - not sure if i caught it in film. I had a P47 coming at my HMk1 head on, and since i was too slow from fighting another guy, i couldnt properly AVOID him. Result: He collided with me, dying; I didnt collide, but flew away heavily damaged since hed been guns blazing from d100 (i just caught the muzzle flashes in passing). His damage resulted from collision, mine from plain old bullets.

Schatzi hit it right to the wood in one stroke.

Don't fly so close, and you won't collide, its THAT simple.

Something similar...
I shot the tail off a 109 from about d200 . The 109 does the nose up airbrake float to the ground deal. Well since I was going at about 300mph ,I couldn't avoid the floating wreckage. I get the you have collided with xxxx. Then of course the obligatory 200 sob story. Guess what not all rams are intentional, get over it. Actually I think it would be very hard to ram a plane intentionally and do damage.

I'd venture a guess that situations like you describe can be attributed to gun damage, as has been mentioned, and additionally that while a plane may appear undamaged, it did actually take damage. I've lost everything from the tailwheel to entire wings. A wing if obvious; tailwheels, guns, or gear, not so much so.

And, as has been proven many times in many different scenarios, what folks claim happens in the heat of the moment isn't always what actually happens.
