fix yur WEETODD  collision model,, any way you can pull up my personal stats on collisions???   really curious about my survival percentage.. i'm guessing     7 percent.... here's an idea.. since it isnt fair for everyone   "depending on connection".(i don't buy the "depends on plane/ speed/ angle")  just turn it off.

Was just about time for another collision whine.

Ever think that it's possible you screwed up and not the other guy?

No, that would be impossible.

If you didn't get the orange message, you got shot.

So, he shot you from 3 inches away before he collided.  You took no damage from the collision unless you got an orange "you have collided" message.

Being a Trainer, I do most of my flying in the Training Arena. You encounter few red icon fighters in the TA.

Since friendly collisions are turned off, you tend to fly very close to someone you are training or dueling with. Sometimes, flying right through them.

When I do get into one of the MAs, I have a tendency to fly very close to the enemy. Sometimes, too close and suffer a collision. It's my fault and I accept the result. After a few sorties, I've re-oriented my thinking and I keep a reasonable distance.

You can whine all you want, but the fact remains that the vast majority of air to air collisions where only you suffer damage are your fault.

Change your habits, improve your skills and you will see collisions virtually disappear.

The AH collision model has absolutely nothing to do with either your "connection" or "plane/speed/angle".  

Nothing.

Nada.

Zip.

Whom ever told you that needs to be smacked, teased, and in the future ignored as they obviously do not have a clue.

The Search Button on the forum is your friend.  There have been entirely too many threads explaining how it works already.  Do a quick search for "collision".

Bottom line would be for you to quit hitting them.  If you hit them, you take damage.  That is how it works.  So you can't "win" a collision ever.  You hit 'em, you gonna get damaged.  Period.

Actually, It would be nice if collisions were changed to where both aircraft went down. It might make everyone try a little harder to avoid them.

LMFAO

If you don't run into them you don't take damage.

What you want is... I see it about to happen and avoid it.  But still take damage

Get your head right what you see IS exactly what you get.

Wouldn't work like you seem to think.
Would you really like to see a enemy pass you 200ft away and you suddenly blow up because on HIS FE there was a collision? No chance  to evade collisions that way...

Due to internet lag if HTC did this you would have enemy planes 1k away "ram" you and you would go down.

I for one don't wanna die to a collision I never saw, let alone with a plane that's 1k out.


No, that would not be "nice" at all.

WORD OF WISDOM !!! ... no truer words have been spoken.

If YOU collide and suffer damage ... you have no one to blame but yourself.
