Ramming
« on: August 19, 2008, 12:58:50 PM »
Why cant it be that the rammer go down and the rammey still be allowed to fly instead of the opposite, ive been rammed more in the last week than in the 3+ years of playin this game. If it shows "You collided with" on youre screen you go down every time instead of "so n so has collided with you" and you go down. doesnt seem like to big a fix. Teach the ones that enjoy ramming and find it good fun to know that ramming is not a good idea.

It happens, deal with it (and read the million other "I got rammed but the other guy flew away unharmed" threads).


(You're welcome Lusche.) :D

Why can't both planes go down. Teach the one who did it and the other for not avoiding it.

Is there a page about this in the wiki, by any chance?
Would be easier to link to that every time one of these threads come up than typing up another response.

Because then you would go down even if you did avoid it. And that would suck. Hard.

Easier, yes.  But if they're upset and can't search for similar threads, you think they'll click on a link and read something else? I say just ignore them altogether.

Ugh ...

If you get the ... "You collided with" on your screen ... then that is exactly what happened ... YOU COLLIDED ... YOUR THE RAMMER ... YOUR FAULT ... GOOD LUCK NEXT TIME.

 I'll deal with your pain Lusche...

Anyways.. here how's it works..

Step 1. Your plane touch the other guy's plane.
Step 2. On your computer, it shows that you touched his aircraft.
Step 3. On his computer, it shows that you didn't.
Step 4. The system determines that you touched the other guy's plane, and give you the damage.
Step 5. You go down, all he gets is a message saying you rammed him.

This is caused by lag/latency/bandwidth/connections problems.

EDIT: I couldn't find the picture that showed this happening.. if anyone else finds it, great.

  the game is concentrated on combat, not on shaking the screen.

How is that?

Search posts like "how could he have shot me?", or "how could he collide with me when I was 500 yards away?", amongst other lag-related topics.

Read this. Now, how would you like it if you were the guy in the second picture, 10 feet off the guys tail, clearly avoiding contact, would you not be PO'd that you took damage?

Check out this very small portion of the posts that are about the collision model.

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,215608.0.html

http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php/topic,24244.0.html

and this one is Lusche's response to another collision thread that explains with pictures for those who have a hard time with comprehension.

that saved me some typing

I guess I misunderstood the post. I figured he was talking bout a direct head on collision not one that was 10 ft apart. If he was talking bout a direct head on collision then both planes should be effected.
