Fine, there you go:

lol, really what's the difference? My point is still the same.

You wrote "I know sometimes when you fly to close to the other aircraft it tells you "_______ has collided with you." and someone's wing falls off. If that happen why blame the other pilot? It's not like it's his fault."

The difference is that when you get that message the other guys wing falls off and he has nobody to blame but himself.

It's a huge difference from your point.

Almost every single collision I'm in is with a Spitfire. The Spit jocks have a real bad habit of turning into you when they are out of moves.
Sometimes I wonder if it's just too much plane for some. These guys fly these things because they turn well, but most don't turn them when they need to. They'd rather save the flicking and flopping for when you're on their 6.  :rolleyes:

Anecdotally, I have to second your view - and in fact, it happened tonight. I was all over this clown in a Spixteen. I was using my G-14 to dance on his head and he couldn't fly his Spixteen well enough, apparently, to realize that , despite his e deficit, he probably could've erased my e advantage with a little judicious climbing. Hell, after my first pass on him, I blacked out on the pull-up long enough that he could've probably either killed me or climbed so far up my poopchute that he could've tasted my breakfast. Instead, he just kept turning, low and slow like a good short-bus candidate. On the next pass I came down with a little less smash and relieved him of an elevator. Mind, I'm doing this in a gondo-laden G-14 and I'm no great stick (which should tell you his quality as a pilot). Anyway, once the left elevator's gone, he's sort of running out of options so on the next pass he turns right up at me, I hit him, and he goes down. Within an instant after that, a wirbel below kills me. Object lesson: when the pilot sucks, watch out for the ho and flakker.

That's not my point. I'm saying that sometimes it tell you that you collided (or someone collided with you) when you just flew close to enemy aircraft and did not actually hit him.

It doesn't.  There used to be a bug many years ago that lasted a day or two but that was about 6 years ago and has since been fixed. 

If you see "XXX collided with you" is because his front end detected the collision.  If you were to watch his film, it would clearly show the collision, however, if you were to watch your film of the event, it will appear as you described but that's only because your front end didn't detect the collision so it's not visible in your film of the event.

If you are going to 'take a stand' to get banned for something like this,  at least make sure you photoshop out the "You have Collided" message otherwise you are just going to get laughed at.

I'm a proud man
and I took my stand
and thought I'd done good
to fall as I stood

in defense placed my might
to serve what I thought right
I fell, yes I did
and looked really stupid

Yeeah, way to take a stand. Work on that cognitive reasoning thing... Nice stand! You must be very proud.

I know what you're saying and it's very obvious that even after the million or so threads explaining how the collision model works you still don't understand it.

so your saying the films of the same event would be different?

The film from 2 different front ends will show different outcomes.
Here are pics to demonstrate.
Tangle's external from his front end the moment of impact.




Same basic angle external, tangle's view from my front end moment of impact.
