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.

that head on collision may not have happened on both ends due to same latency issues that have been discussed in previous threads including the ones that I posted above.

I always laugh when I see this kind of post or text in-game.

If it was an HO, phssst. Enough has been said about that.

If it wasn't an HO, then he was lucky, or you were stupid, or he's very very good at an incredibly tough thing to do, or some combination of the three. In any case, you ran into him, not the other way around so you should end up in the tower.

I understand about the lag issue guess just something that can't be fixed. Just sucks that one goes down instead of the both going down regardless of who is to blame for it.

Yes but imagine how mad you would be if your plane went down when the enemy was 10 yards or more away from you, only because his computer detected a collision.

That's internet lag, and why it's so difficult to do it on purpose, if it's even possible.

I would be ticked off which is why I wish there was something that could be done about one going down and not both. Oh well can't fix it.

Only one goes down (has damage) ... ONLY IF ONE COLLIDES. It couldn't be any simpler.

If you don't touch someone on your screen, you don't take damage. Don't worry about the other guy and you'll be fine.

I understand the frustration, I have had it happen to me before (most of probably have). The problem is that he may not have had a collision on his end, but he should still go down?

The thing that seems to me that causes alot of grief here is a great many people have a tendancy to look at it in terms of fault. The game is not looking for fault it is simply determining who's machine detected the collision. A simple way to see this is if both machines detected the collision then, guess what, both planes would indeed go down. The thing is with latency and/or lag this is highly unlikely and rare.

This will be an ongoing debate as to what the most fair way is but I feel at this time the current method is best and most fair. At least you won't go down unless your machine detects a collision. :salute

Mother you do realize I am not the one who posted this right. I was just saying that I dont' think it is right that one plane goes down instead of both. I understand about about the lag. Just stating my 2 cents on the subject.  :salut :aok

Sounds more like you got raked by 8 .50 cals that caused all that damage and not a collision ... the collision was secondary after your plane was shredded by gunfire.
