When I was a kid if you got into a fight in the school yard it was considered bad form to kick the other guy in the nuts. Today it's the first move.

It was a common occurance when I grew up and I think you and I are close to the same age.  It's how I learned that it hurt and how to avoid it.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

Lusche nailed it, there is no "Ram".

You can not run into an enemy plane, or cause him to run into you without taking damage yourself.
In fact your more likely to take damage than he is, as he has a very good chance of not running into you.

Read up on collisions and lag, and keep reading it until you understand it.

Shouldn't that be "ram != kill"  or at least "ram <> kill"?

What is that Cobol?

and people DON'T think the game is going down hill?

From my point of view there is NEVER a reason to try and ram/have a collision. If out numbered and out of ammo I'll fly until I'm out of gas or clip a tree trying to run or get help from a friendly. HOs I just naturally try to avoid from the on set, I'm in it for the fight, not a joust.

Nah, the reason we have collisions is to prevent people from doing the above.  Wait a minute . .  . :headscratch:

I am guilty of ramming people with my tail a lot  :banana: :lol

Has anyone actually ever tried to purposely ram someone before without the head-on ram? Its rather quite difficult to pull off. I attempted to ram someone the other day because i was outta ammo with 5 kills and no friendlies around. So I knew the only way i would be able to land without getting vulched on landing was to ram the only enemy plane that was there hoping that with the AH collision model i might be able to fly away lmao. btw the field was de-acked so i had no help there. unfortunately i was unable to ram and got vulched but it sure was fun tryin to  :banana:

I'm sure you'll disprove the logic of a 10+ year veteran and trainer once your brain "awakes".
