TURN OFF COLLISIONS.  Everyone is tired of hearing everyone complain about the collisions.  If it favors one and harms the other, then it is not fair and shouldn't be a factor in the game.  If it is just a game and not real, then it shouldn't matter if we fly threw one another, just TURN IT OFF!  It was off when I started playing this game, just turn it back off please!

heres a solution, Do not ram the other frikkin plane!

Your FE sees the collision and assigns damage to your plane, same for the other fella. So if you hit him but his FE doesn't see a collision, you get damage. Vise Versa.

This has been discussed too many times to count. JB, please make a search before you start a new thread.

I'm not.  If it favors one and harms the other,No it doesn't.  then it is not fair and shouldn't be a factor in the game.  Its perfectly fair. If it is just a game and not real, then it shouldn't matter if we fly threw one anotheryes it's just a game. However without the collision model, tardlets would fly through ac with guns blazing. That would be too gamey. , just TURN IT OFF! NO!!!  It was off when I started playing this game, just turn it back off please!


Don't fly into other ac and you have little to worry about.

Bronk did so well with most of it, but he left out this one:

AFAIK, it has never been off in the MAs.  Therefore, I would surmise you simply picked up some very bad habits while flying in the 8-player-no-realism-whatsoever arenas.  Learn to shoot from farther away from your target instead of trying to fly through them, and you will not collide.

The only change I would make would be to record the collision ONLY if both Front Ends see it.

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.

That is essentially turning them off.  There would be little practical difference and you would still be perfectly safe to fly though that B-17, guns blazing, with no chance of colliding.  On the other hand, you couldn't miss from 5 feet away.

Collisions have always been on and they should always be on.

Lately with most of my accidental collisions I actually get both messages, I hit him and he hit me. 99.9% of the time I sort of see it coming also.
I for 1 have 0 complaints about the collision model.

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.
