Collisions

[Bronk]

All I can say is.. well done CVA.  You read and understood. Much better than many in this community who read, looked at the pictures and STILL couldn't comprehend.

Anybody who collides with a C-47 deserves to lose.  It's not like you need to avoid them getting a firing solution on you..

I said TAIL, i slowed in a hard turn and the Goon came up behind me and rammed me with a 2MPH difference in speed, i lost my tail, he fly home.

Most probably he never hit you on HIS screen. No collision on his side = no damage.


The term "ram" is most problematic when being used in AH, as it ignores the whole two-realities concept.

I honestly don't care if he snuck up on you while you were afk and flew into you.  A C-47 has no guns..  there is absolutely no excuse for you to let him get close enough to hit you.  If your aim is so bad that you have to be within 100yards to fire, you deserve to die.   If your aim isn't that bad, and you were just being mean.. again, you deserve to die.

I prefer to fly along side the goon and pull a Supertroopers. Just stare that cartoon pilot dead in the eyes for a few seconds before lighting it on fire with BBs to save cannon rounds...

HTC, Please do something about collisions. It's bad enough fighting three planes at the same time, but to have someone try to Ho you, and collied with you stinks. What makes it worse, is that the jerk that runs into you, lives to fly off and land?? Why can't you make it so both planes go down on a collision and no one gets a kill? Just might lead to less hoing and more dogfighting.  Just my though..  CVA

 

Be prepared buddy, I posted something like this a few days ago and boy did they laugh at me, lol.  I totally agree with ya...i can put 20-30mm rounds into a plane on a Ho course, watch him fall apart, have what plane he has left pull up into me, and yes, he/she gets the kill.  It is a broken system, much like the original NES and that damn push the game down 60 times, press power/reset 60 time.  Finally you get it to work and boom, the screen turns green.  HA HA HA

[Lusche]

It is a broken system

That may sound a bit harsh, but...

not the system is broken but your understanding of it.

Thanks, bronk your post helped make it easy to understand.. CVA

Don't want a collision? 

Don't hit them.

Simple and effective.

If you never hit the enemy plane you will never have a collision.

Somehow, I managed to survive this HO... lived and landed. The other HOer never got to kiss mother earth; only one of his wheels did.

I guess HOs need indeed a little work, or rather the damage model. But, its fun anyway (not to HOs I mean  )

Which ac are you? I'd like to see the whole film.

He's the Pony....... Flying away.  Both craft should have gone boom based on these screen shots though.

HIS plane - yes.

Both planes? You can't see from this screenshot how it looked for the other guy....

This tends to be the hardest part about collisions for most folks to grasp.  Once they do, most learn not to go there if it can be helped.
