smilie indicating stinky bait.

That aside I believe being rammed from no fault of your own, taking damage and the other guy flying off is the biggest flaw/misconception of this topic.

it's very easy to say X and Y's front end did this yours didnt, insert internet lag and whammo thats the answer.  Technically speaking it is but when your in game flying and experiencing the chitty end of the stick hence vortex's post I can see why he posted it.  

Vortex is a very good player and I can share his frustration when it does happen.  Again as I said further up its acceptable to me the way it is.

The trick to that is, even though on your FE he hit you the collision was registered on your FE and not his.

On his FE he could have been 200 yards off your six and flew past without collision.

It's just in the wording of the collision notice 'You have collided with XXXX'. This leads one to believe that they have been hit by another aircraft when it's not any different to you running up the back of someone yourself.

Just plain old packet loss will cause that.

So, if both guys get collision message (both collided), and both die in process, who gets the kill?

The guy with better ping times?

Assuming no one is around, or has damaged either player, I think the guy with the higher ping time gets the kill on the other, because he lives (high ping - low ping)ms longer.

The one that dies at last. And that depends on several factor - not only lag. I could use a wing and fall down to earth while you explode instantly due to where our planes exactly hit each other. I would get the kill.

Or the collision might have happened while you went up and I nosed down - if no plane explodes immediately I would probably impact earlier, thus giving you the kill.

I have 2 films I made last night, both had collisions.

First one, I am behind a P-51B and get a message that he collided with me, I take lethal damage and get no message that I collided with him. The P-51 also got credit for the kill. Proxy maybe?

Second one, I am in an F4U-1 and pinned down on the deck by a Spitfire9 and an A6M5. I actually force the Zero to overshoot (:D) but he loops up and over and collides with me as he tries to turn inside my slow hawg. This time we both got collision messages. We both lose parts of our wings, he goes down immediately but I somehow managed to maintain control.....until I pulled my gear back up that is, then I lost control immediately and crashed. :rofl

I did a HO against a Me262 in my Mosquito the other day and we both got the kill.  Wasn't a collision though, we both exploded about 400 yards from eachother.

In his FE you were in front of his guns.  He shot you and collided with ya.

Member getting shot from impossible angles?  That would be an impossible angle for your FE lol

I just watched it again, at the point of collision, in my film we are dead even, so you are most likely correct that on his FE I was most likely in front of his guns.
