in a couple of them, we BOTH went down missing parts..and when i had asked about this in the forums before, it was stated that he was probably firing.............but guess what? he wasn't.........so what i'm thinking now, is that this model is actually perfect.......in a colision of that type, in reality, both combatents would be going down...and that is how it happened here.....so i would venture that Hitech did it very well....although it still scuks when ya go down for someone elses mistake..as it must be the same for him to go down for mine........anyway, just thought i'd mention this....
Couple things ...
Collisions that are seen on both FEs dont always result in catastrophic damage to both aircraft. Suppose your prop saws through my wing and both computers see it. I should go down with a lost wing, and you should go on without a prop. Now this is just the first example I could come up with quickly, but I think it illustrates the point.
Consider a second collision where again both computers see the collision where the leading edge of your wing collides with my vertical stabilizer. In this case, both planes would go down. One without a wing and one with a damaged or missing vertical stabilizer.
Further, neither collision was your fault, or mine, it was a product of packet latency (assuming neither of us was conciously trying to collide). Thats where alot of the problem comes from, misunderstanding of what is actually happening. It doesnt suck that I go down from someone else's mistake, because in 99% of the cases, its not their mistake, but a fluke of the internet. Why get mad at someone when it wasnt his fault?
