The collision model SUCKS I hate it.

HiTech did say, that if you register hit or collision on your side, then it did happen. Now, what is registered on your side has to be acknowledged by the server and other party. There are gazillion of things which can happen to packets between two end points.

The usual culprits are BG processes, PF, NAT, Wireless, QOS, asynchronous routes, etc. If I'd had rubber bullets I'd look to net problems firstly and then all others.

IIRC he once said that hits registration goes over TCP/IP rather than UDP, so it shouldn't happen that often.

Also, I have never experienced rubber bullets even though my ISP is RR, I'm behind NAT, hardware and personal firewall, run AV all the times and my Vsync is Off.

I knew it! Cheater!!!

I say since theres no way for HTC to flame both planes for some reason after a midair collision I say the one who gets the "YOU HAVE COLLIDED WITH" on the screen should be the one that goes down. That would at least stop a few of them from flying straight into you like has happened to me multiple times since squeeker season opened.

it already happens like that.

orange message: YOU HAVE COLLIDED WITH XXX= YOU GO DOWN

white message: XXX HAS COLLIDED WITH YOU= HE GOES DOWN
