There are two realities in AH. What you see on your front end, and what the other player sees on their front end. Those realities are close, but not exactly the same. Plane positions will vary slightly between two front ends.
If your front end detects a collusion with another plane, you get an orange message, and you take the appropriate damage. If the other player detects a collusion with you on their front end, you get a white message, and they take the appropriate damage.
It does not matter how it happens, if somebodies front end detects another plane occupying the same virtual space as their plane, a collusion happens for them.
Well today i was on a rolling scissor with a enemy and we were jockying so hard for position that we ended up smacking right into each other.
I literally saw his fusulage smack my plane in PLAIN Sight of me. However he went poof, and i took absolutly no damage.
I know the damage model is a lil tricky, but in all realism both planes should end up out of commission. because if the enemy plane gets damage from your plane then in comparrison yours should take the apropriate damage.
