Collision Model
« on: November 08, 2015, 09:40:07 AM »
I would like to see the collision model changed so that BOTH aircraft would crash it there is a collision. If this happened people would be more careful about how they would join combat and the number of "ho" type attacks would drop. Win Win?

So you would be ok having a plane fly past you a couple lengths away from you and your plane crashing from it?

Below is a video of the two views of a flight. One from "YOUR" point of view, and one from "MY" point of view over lapped at the same time in space/game.

Your the plane that is just flying along minding your own business I come booming in to pick you and from my view I clip you, from your view I am a couple lengths back. From your view You shouldn't get ANY damage because Im not any where near you, but if they change it to the way you want you'd be down too. How would that make people fly more careful? They only interested in getting you out of the sky one way or another.

IT would be even worse. Now can everyone avoid a collision if they want by simply avoid flying into the enemy. If it is changed it means that you can be killed in a collision with no chance of avoiding it and an inferior pilot can always take out his opponent by simply ramming him. Today if you ram someone you go down but the opponent usually survives because there isnt any collision on his computer.

If you dont want to die in a HO, dont HO. For a HO to occur BOTH pilots must go head on. Its as simple as that.

No, head on attacks would not change. Pointing the gun at the bandit will always be the first choice of the novice.

The collision model is required because we don't all play on the same computer and there is time required to exchange position data on the internet. This also means that the bandit has a better shot than you think he does if he's behind you. When you are behind the bandit you get the same advantage.

Fixed. Anybody can "joust" and fire on a head on merge, most of the skilled guys are the ones who maneuver for a shot or never fire on a head on merge.

Of course you can hit another plane from any direction.  Even hit plane parts.

I agree with all the other posters.  Both planes going down every time after a collision is a bad idea.

Skuzzy should post a sticky with Fugi's clip and an explanation about the collision model.

BOING!  Wish granted!

If both planes collide, they both go down.

The problem is, most of the time both planes do not collide.  See "The Fugitive's" first post.  If you do not understand that post, please ask questions.

Monza2, do you understand now how it works?  If you don't please let us know...  This is the 3,925th thread on the collision model, and they all end up about the same, so let us know early if you don't get it, so we can answer quickly before this thread goes like the other 3,924 did.

Collision model=not obvious

(Collision model+explanation)collision model=obvious

There is no shame in bursting a blood vessel and whining about collisions absent understanding the why and how.

Likewise there is nothing to be proud of in condescension or sarcasm towards someone who is ignorant.
