The way I'm reading these logical explanations is that if your front end detects a collision, you are toast, even if you are flying around minding your own business and some dweeb rams you.
The feeling seems to be that you should be responsible for avoid collisions, even if you are flying level and the guy hits you from behind.
For the life of me then I can't understand why it is fairer that only you should die? Because your front end was more efficient than the other guys?
That's not fair.
Because you didn't take action to move your rear end out of the fighter's way as he zoomed in on you?
That's not fair.
Because the other guy didn't see that his plane was about to give you a propeller enema, so he flew really really close?
Again, not fair.
It seems to me that if two planes collide, two planes die. Always.
Sounds fair to me.
That way if your front end detects, you die. If your front end doesn't detect it, you die.
It doesn't depend on the vagueries of whose detected it first. It encourages everyone to give each other a little room.
