If you died because of a collision, it means the collision happened on your PC, not on his. What he saw on his PC is completely irrelevant.

If you died because he shot you down, it means his bullets hit your plane on his PC. What you saw on your PC is completely irrelevant.

It could also be a combination of the two.

I know this topic has been beat to death but I never & I mean EVER have a plane hit me & not fly away unscathed while I go down in a ball of flames. Doesn't matter if they ran into the back of me or I run into them I ALWAYS lose 100% of the time.:furious :cry

Excactly as it should be. You want to be able to hit someone and not have damage ?

See my post in the \"Funny pics\" threads to see what happened with the last Spixteen that rammed me.

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.

Tater, I pulled that off a couple of times. It's rare and unintentional. Basically I make a rear attack and come in too hot, too fast, and blow my shot. So I duck JUST under the bomber wing, juuuuust enough to avoid ramming him, then pull up like mad to get the hell out of dodge!!

Only, if I'm "lag delayed" on his end -- if I fly PAST the wing, in front of him, then pull up I'm clear. But my image on HIS machine (time delayed) follows the same path and now pulls up through the wing. It's not something you can do intentionally but it can happen. You're still flying forward even after my "lag drone" is pulling up and you collide, but I've already pulled up and am clear of you.

cav: Yep. When you see \"You have collided\" AND \"So and so collided with you\" it means both ends saw it.

While it has its problems, I STILL think a collision should only be recorded if both computers see it. It\'ll certainly stop the people from complaining when they only see \" collided with you\" but THEY\'RE the ones who die.

I disagree that it has its problems.

The only people who complain are those that, for whatever reason, can not comprehend that, if you see " collided with you" and you die, then you died because HE SHOT YOU BEFORE HE RAN INTO YOU.  You took no damage from the collision. Period. End of story.  Not that complicated.

 I would think that I would yes but as I stated, "It doesn't matter  if they run into the back of me" I go down in flames.

 I have never seen anyone go down in flames when they hit me weather I receive a collision notice or not. IT NEVER HAPPENS!

 What I'm saying is, even when I don't have a collision message, IE my system didn't see a collision never have I seen someone go down in flames or blow up because they saw a collision from me.

Hitech has explained this just recently and here it is again. The guy that collides with you receives damage and it may not be fatal but he is damaged. You dont die because he collided with you but because you got shot. The collision message is just advisory if you want to look at it that way but it seems your reading to much into it.
