Slappy, it's my personal windmill.:D

Tangle's external from his front end the moment of impact.





Same basic angle external, tangle's view from my front end moment of impact.




How would you feel taking damage looking at your film and seeing tangles front end view, hmmmmmm?


I know I'd be pretty POed.

Edit: This also works nicely for the "none should take damage" people.

Yea I should be able to put the nose of my ac through another.:furious :furious :furious :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Priceless absolutely priceless.

There is no winning/losing  a collision, you towering genius.
Collisions are detected on YOUR front end period.

You try an occupy the same space as another ac on your front end, you go poof.

Guess pictures with descriptions are not enough.

Look at the first pic, that's probably close to what the other guy seen. Due to non faster than light internet.

The second is what it looks like when you fail to avoid running into the other guy on your front end.

Anyone speak towering genius???? Anyone???

:rofl :rofl :rofl

Because HE did not collide with you. On HIS screen he passed you at some distance. Why should he go down?

there is no winning / losing a collision

You collide on your screen: you get damage
Your enemy collides with you on his screen: he gets damage.

The collision model may need adjusting if anything about that should be changed is one thing. Once  you shoot down a plane what is left of them should not take you out. Now I already can hear the comment well in real life or other flight sim you die do to this agruement coming up. Adjust that and the tweak the collision model a little and were good to go. DO with away with it NAH keep it around. But it does need to be tweaked to many noobs are using it to get kills.

As far as both people dieing lets not open that can of worms, please. They do that then the forums will be filled with such and such rams just to get kills or the newest dweeb tactic.

wow...

I am not sure this can possibly be explained better than with pictures.

I sure will try once more.

In a 1 on 1 dogfight, there are actually 4 planes.

2 on your Front End (FrontEnd=you computer basically)
2 on your opponents Front End.

Because of internet lag, what you and your opponent see are slightly different things.  

(fight someone, both film it, and watch the films)

On YOUR Front End both planes can collide, like you saw in the picture Bronk posted.  The 2 planes on your FE rammed.

On your OPPONENTS Front End they did not collide, like you saw in the picture Bronk posted.  The 2 planes on their FE missed.

In case you didn't understand, the pictures posted by bronk were from the same fight, but two diff. films.  One from each pilot's Front End.

Just because on YOUR Front End you saw a collision, that does not mean your opponent saw one, just like in the pictures Bronk posted.

Your Front End = planes collide
Opponents Front End = planes miss by 100 feet.

So as you see, there is no "winning" of a collisions.
 
IF YOU HIT THEM, YOU WILL TAKE DAMAGE.  

IF YOU DO NOT HIT THEM, YOU WILL NOT TAKE DAMAGE.

The only way to "win" a collision is to not collide.

If the plane you colllided with fly's off undamged, that's because  THEY didn't see a collision.  They avoided it.  You didn't.  THIER Front End didn't "see" a collision, only yours did.  

The only way to "win" a collision is to not collide.

Quit flying into enemy planes.
