Band-Aid on the collision model

[tuton25]

Until we can get a proper collision model, I think it should be set that both aircraft are instantly destroyed....
This would end the "I hit you but you took no damage" plague that has cursed this game....
No one should get the kill for a collision either....

So you avoid an enemy plane, see him passing by at 100 feet and still get killed by a 'collision'

Is that what you want?

Apparently. Though I'm of the mind that it's the player that can't seem to avoid a collision on his (or her) front end that seems to have issues with the perfect compromise (you avoided it on your end - you don't suffer the consequence). Sounds a might selfish to demand the other player (who DID avoid it) also suffer your consequence.

We have the best possible collision model. When we get a proper internet there will be less confusion about the model.

I'm of the opinion that every request like this is from guys that are either used to server-side online games or just don't understand how to fly BFM so as to not get close enough to collide in the first place.

I have a video (among others) of me scissoring a Yak in my Typhie. We scissored into each other and the damage model worked perfectly for on me, taking my wing, but for him (from what I can see in the video) is he took no damage. I sent a PM to him and he said he took no damage....

Interestingly this question is virtually never being answered by those asking for the "both get damage" model.

It's not what's on your end that determines his damage. It's what's on his end. Until there's a 100% lag free internet that's as fair as it gets.

He took no damage because there was no collision on his PC. We explain this about once a month with pictures and video.

Who told you we don't have a proper collision model?

I'm not sure if this is what you want or not but it was the best I could do to help!

it's even funnier when you get behind a fighter and you get nailed by his tail gunner  .

And .... Semp changes the subject (though he probably doesn't realize it).

Here's to a pristine connection at all times for everyone forever. And to Santy Claus.

I love it every time someone flies into another airplane and then complains there was a collision. Pure irony at its best.

They're complaining the the other guy didn't suffer a collision, actually, and claiming that means the game's broke.
