Unfortunately yes, it may be unfair but this is how it was in the war and still is the same last time I checked in real life
when a Japanesse kamikaze'd a ship did the ship sail off with no damage and no crew killed?

I'm not sure if you really looked at the picture.
You are just saying you want to get collision damage even though the enemy plane you just successfully evaded never came closer than 50 feet...

Lets approach this from another angle.

Those wanting both parties to take damage let me try and paint you a pictures of what you're asking for and how you'll hate what you want.


One day in the MA you're flying along to go PwN some NeWbzOoRS when a plane, lets say a P51, dives attempting to HO you. Now you have time to react and nose down and dive away, clearly avoiding the HO by a hundred feet or so. On your screen you miss the P51, however, a second after the pass your right wing falls off and you receive the message "ExamplePlayer1337 has collided with you." So there you are, on the way to a death even though you CLEARLY avoided the enemy plane.

I'd be willing to bet a months subscription that those of you who want this changed would be back in here the same week it went live BEGGING for HT to rollback the system to the previous method.

I have it, after 15 years of the collision debate I truly have a new collision method. I write an auto collision debate tracker for the bbs. As soon as some one argues the merits of both die, they get their wish. A flag is set for them so that the requester dies as they happily fly by ,waving there hand at an  airplane, just as they requested.

I then charge $30 to remove the flag when they request it a few days later.

That would be so awesome !!!

The text buffer would be something like this ...

When you log in ...

HOST: It has been established that you are clueless about the collision model ... your collision flag is set to full "realism" .... muhahahah

Later on in a tight knife fight ...

HOST: Lusche has collided with you in his P-51
HOST: You didn't collide with Lusche in your P-47
HOST: You will be sent to the tower in 5 seconds ...
HOST: 4 ...
HOST: 3 ...
HOST: 2 ...
HOST: 1 ...
HOST: We are changing your in game ID to Toyota ..."You asked for it ... You got it"
