Collision Model

[The Fugitive]

Why is that worse than it is now with people making a close pass to you and you get collision and they fly away. Seems like it would discourage people from trying that if they wanted to keep flying.

If you fly your plane and NEVER get close enough to collide you will NOT collide. It's a pretty simple fix really.

Maybe latency in the last month has been higher than usual, maybe I lost a little finesse taking a week vacation earlier, but been getting "odd" collisions regularly myself lately.

I'm still trying to figure out why planes that collide with a M4 or a plane that has landed and stopped will fly off undamaged.

They didn't collide on their FE?

Every time I've collided with a GV has been very unhealthy for my airplane.

If the message "someone has collided with you" displays, I would hope that means the other person's front end was also relayed that message while the "you have collided with someone" message might mean only your front records the collision.

I really don't know how that part works but a mustang collided with my M4....no bombs.....I die and he flies off undamaged.

It depends on who sees what. From your point of view you saw a collision so you collided. from his point of view he didn't see a collision, so he flies off.

When you collide with someone you get the "you have collided with..." message

When someone collides with you (but you don't see a collision from your point of view) you will see a "so and so has collided with you" message, and NO message saying "you have collided with...." in which case the only damage you should take is from the round that the other guy hit you with BEFORE he collided.

Like I said before if you do NOT collide with any vehicles or planes on YOUR screen you won't get a "you have collided with...." message.

What is the sound you get from flying very low and pulling up abruptly when over the top of a GV, sounds like some hitting a 55 gal drum - I assume it's a tail bounce off the turret, I can neither confirm or deny but you do not get any messages.

 It is pretty hard to understand getting the message when your on autoclimb hands off the stick and someone rams you on a dive from behind. You get the message "you have collided" wtf?

To me that just means an error in the formula or is there a difference in computers and connections? So far we have been told no.

It means you are mentally stuck in the real world and thinking in terms of fault.

A collision happened on your Front End and and therefore "you" collided with another aircraft.  The computers involved don't give a damn who was facing what way or doing what.  All they care about is which Front End detected the collision.

Same collision from the perspective of each aircraft:



One collided, one didn't.

I think the collision model we have is the best, fairest, and far from crappy.

wait till your afk and see a bad guy fly through your plane and your given all the dmg, with no msg from them. you die and they fly away without firing. just a bit annoying, to say the least.

Never had that happen tbh.

Stop thinking in single reality terms.  The problem is with you.
