Who should die in a collision

[hitech]

   Most of the time collisions are head on. Also I've had the message X has collided with you and I'm toast and his (Usually a Spit) plane flies off into the sunset. A solution to stop collisions would be for both aircraft to be disabled thus causing pilots to avoid headon attacks. I can understand glancing hits but some use the head on tactic too much.

I have a much much better way for stop collisions.

DO NOT FLY INTO THE OTHER PLANE.

well.....you found em out. hitech delibretley modeled this so that spits could survive anything. wait'll he installs the "warp drive bug" in the game.....just for the spit 16.

What about if a collision message appears, no matter who is at fault, both planes die. That is simple and easy, and should reduce Hoing too.

The system never tulips FAULT in a collision. And once again, see the pictures because I am sure you will love taking damage when that plane 100 yards behind you collides with you.

Now think about the result of a head on, the person who avoids the collision is now at the disadvantage,so of course he will now try to do the collision, so the end result is a lot MORE collisions and whining.

From my experience this comment is...dead on.  I've never had a problem with the collision model.  Whenever there is a collision, I always felt that even if it was his fault, it was still mine too for not anticipating it.  Playing from the midwest though, I have a very good connection so it functions correctly for me.  Europe might be a whole other story.  Lusche, I hope you don't get rammed consistently like your screen cap shows, that would be very frustrating and I could definitely see why some would question the model even if it's entirely a latency issue.

The good thing in current collision modeling, my ping doesn't matter at all. What I see is what I get, just like any other player.
BTW, the one doing the ram (and getting all the damage) was me

Yeah, I am sure everybody would be thrilled to die in a collision with a plane 100-300' away.

That sure does makes a whole lot more sense than only taking damage if you actually hit them like we have now.


Do you even think before you post?

DUDE....

didn't you get it et?

your "reality" and mine, are different at any given time ingame.

look at lusches, or bronks pictures. they explain it all.

If 2 planes collide, then they both should die. Why should one plane get the benefit over another because of connection issues (which no one has control over). I've never collided with someone 100'-300' away. Both planes die is simple and straight forward.

Do you ever think before you post?

lets try it this way.


BECAUSE IT'S WHAT YOUR COMPUTER SEES!!!! NOTHING ELSE!!!!!!

Well, for the most part.  I'm fairly certain I have only received the White collision message before and incurred some damage, such as an oil leak or a broken aileron.  Phantom collisions should be more frequent for European players than U.S. players I'd imagine.  Of course, as long as you keep the collision off your screen, you shouldn't incur any fatal damage.  It really is a genius model.  Can't please everyone.

Of course not. Because that would only happen if we implement the "BOTH GO DOWN"

Why is it that whenever it is the other person's fault for the collision, I die? I hardly ever win collisions. What do I need to do to win?
