Post by: Spatula on February 16, 2006, 02:43:37 PM: Seen as so theres a vocal group who are bashing the AH2 ram model (MOAN MOAN MOAN MOAN, cry cry cry) I just wanna say: I *like* the ram model!

I would really hate it if you were busy flying along and someone was BnZing ya and you break turn to avoid his pass (i look back to confirm, and he passes safely behind and off to one side) and then all of a sudden i go down in a screaming, flaming wreck saying i ramed so-and-so. LIKE CRAP I DID.

Well done HTC on implementing a fair and sensible ram model.

After 5 years, you'd think I'd know when I'm "close enough" and when I'm "waaay too close". You'd be wrong. :p I have a lot of collisions, and while there are some when I'm not exactly sure what happened, and a few when I was outright baffled, in all circumstances (with one exception), I was just simply cutting distances and merges far too close.

The one exception is bombers; I see some wild stuff at times when the lead plane is killed, and have slammed into a drone attempting to fly between planes, only to find that a drone now occupies the space I'm passing through at 400mph. :O Even this random occurance can be chalked up to poor judgement.

Anyway, yeah, it certainly beats having everyone fly right through you, and collisions have given me many free kills. Works well enough for me.

Now if only the girls on Team Fredbird would do that...
