Let me get this straight,. You state that you can collide at will as a reason that there is a problem with collision code?
I am pretty sure if you do a search or read my posts, will find no evidence of me saying anything like that.
(hence implying it can be used in the main arena as a offensive weapon) and now it becomes qualified to if a friend flies straight and level with out shooting and lets me maneuver at will so I can position my plane ahead of him and collide with him. And even farther qualified that you exaggerated the 50%.
Never implied that either although I will imply it now if it makes you feel better. Yes it could, but it would be easier to shoot the buff as you said, unless you just want to annoy people or are out of ammo. What I did say, is that it could be gamed. I never said or implied that there is a problem with the code. If you remember, I said it does not even matter how it works. It is the fact that it is there that I don;t like. And the reason is that it can end a fight most of the time not due to a mistake the guys involved in it made, but due to a bad pick attempt.
So, I did offer a friend to go to the DA and show him what I meant and how it could be done. He might have proved me wrong, too. I have no clue where you came from, assuming you knew what the set up was going to be and all the rest.
And now you state it is I that am backing down?
No, I said I could say that. You know, like you did with me. Instead of talking about it, you came after me. So I said I could play the same game.
So since you have now qualified it to only straight and level with out shooting, I would assume you would agree that the idea that you can collide at will given your qualifiers, really has no effect in the main arena?
Yes, or a very small one. However, it does have an effect when guys are buzzing your fight. Not intentionally causing a collision, but causing one never the less. And that is what I wanted to show him. I also wanted to show the guys that keep explaining how the collisions work that not only you can collide due to no fault of yours (meaning you cant avoid it) but you can also intentionally cause one.
And for sake of argument, if you could fly that precisely, wouldn't it just be easier to shoot the bomber?
No argument there. It is. Read above.
P.S. Since you have now stopped that no one has posted reasons of why we should have collision, I assume you agree there are valid reasons for having planes collide, even though you still don't like it?
HiTech
Yes, after 20 something pages some people did post reasons. It does not matter if agree with them or not. At list they did post reasons instead of the normal attacks and explaining how the code works. So, what does that prove? That after I said no one has posted reasons some people did post? Or that I might have missed a couple of posts? I mean really, what is your point with this one?
So, I don't understand what you are so upset about or why people get upset about this subject. Why can;t we talk about pros and cons of having it (between us) instead of how it works? I thought this was a place to talk about things like this, no? People that don;t want to be involved in the conversation can always not read the thread instead of coming in to tell us that it has been talked about before, no?
I m tired of this and I think in the 10 years here, I have learned that we are not going to get anywhere by continuing this, so here is my offer. If you still don;t understand what I was trying to say and show, to who ever I told to meed in the DA, continuing this conversation is pointless. Lets just say I backed down and run away. If however you think that I could not cause a collision by flying in front a set of buffs that are not twisting and turning (which was the idea before you jumped in) then lets try it.
