I'm moreso complaining about how he didn't go down with me.

I'm with you. I've made the same complaint many times. I understand the argument for the system being the way it is. With internet latency varying from pc to pc, I do not know of a better model.

I was in  Bostons after a small bombing run a few days back when a 190 jumps  my squady, well I come in from behind to help him out and this guy in his 190 turns right into me and I'll take those odds any day. Well he comes head on and clips one of my drones, get the message so and so has collided with you, I turn expecting to see a 190 falling and He wasn't even smoking. Well I turn towards him and he turns and comes in again and same thing takes out my other drone, get the message so and so has collided, I turn another drone gone and not even white smoke from the 190. so head  toward him again here he comes I start firing looks like Christmas tree lights on the front of his 190 and I get the message so and so has collided with you I'm falling out the sky and I bail and he is smoking but still flying. :huh This guy hit all three of my bombers in collisions and fly's away like nothing happened.

Last time i played this game. The collision detection was no much better than pong on atari. But thats my opinion. I do believe pong was better.

The collision model isn't perfect for reasons such as this but c'mon, you should be dead either way so why does it matter?    Overall the collision model is very good.

P.S. I doubt he was trying to ram you.

He SHOT you three times and collided as well.  You know you can lose non-vital parts in collisions?  Losing an elevator or rudder usually don't cause a plane to smoke.

I would guess that 92.4% of the time a "collision" results in a kill, they were shooting at you.

And, SPIKES, you collided with him, he didn't collide with you.    :D

I've had people collide with me, white message, and not get a kill before because they fell out of proxy range before they hit the ground.

Just out of curiosity SPIKES, I know you died, did he get the kill?

Same.

In fact, ironically, he probably ran into you accidentally because you were on auto climb, while he did not estimate you'd be so slow.

This has happened to me multiple times.  I am waiting for their break...is it left, is it right, up, down, oh crap he's on auto climb!  Evasive maneuvers!  UGH...

I Say

IF YOU COLLIDE YOU BOTH DIE

That should be the next collision model

Barko, do a search. Due to lag over the internet what you see on your screen could be half a second different to what I see on my screen. Half a second at 300 mph is a lot of distance. So at the time you "see" a collision, I could be "seeing" you explode a mile away from me. Why should my plane take damage? I was a mile away!

  Seems like if the sim can tell there is a collision between 2 specific planes, both  should take damage even if it takes a few or several seconds for parts to fall off the second plane. I would accept it but then i dont take this stuff all that seriously.
 btw i constantly die in collisions,its usually me going fast not judging closure properly.

Yes he got the kill. Though I killed him later in his Pony after he drug me from 15K to the deck stick sturring because my Mossie was then on him.

But they BOTH didn't collide.  Spikes collided.  The other guy didn't collide WITH ANYTHING.

It IS fixed.

It's either THIS or NONE, and frankly "NONE" is too training-wheels to really condone.
damn, I agree with Krusty.....of course theres no math involved in this statement! :devil

Thanks WW :aok

Finally an explanation that almost anybody can understand. If from the other guy's perspective, Spike's was 100 ft away, but from Spikes perspective, the other guy was minus 5 feet away, then guess what?? Spikes collided.

I just wanna collide with his Avatar :D
