Title: Collided with already dead enemy fighter
Post by: wrench on October 10, 2017, 07:39:54 PM

How could I collide with an already dead enemy? Got a kill message before a collision message. Film attached kill/collision is near end of film.

Is there new proxy kill range?

Watched the film and some guy in a P51 got the proxy kill on me from 5k distance he never shot my P47. In fact he was running away. This guy didn't deserve a proxy kill.

True! On the other hand though? I have never once suffered damage from flying parts :uhoh Could it be a "lag", what you see is what you get thing? Like on his end, he wasnt pronounced dead yet, on his end? I really dont understand how the collision model is in game. Sure does suck at times

Had this happen again just the other day.  Took the wing off a spit 16 and watched the wing come off then boom I was towered and the spit guy got the kill.

Not a bug.  It has been that way for sometime.

You can't collide with 'falling pieces', you don't get damage from them, these are just animations. But if you collide with a still existing plane itself - the thing that still has an icon attached to it, you will get a collision & damage.
When you watch the film provided, you see that the enemy was still alive on your frontend, the icon was still showing. This thing can indeed happen during head on kills/collisions with their high closure rates - the kill message text arrived a spilt second before your front end realized the enemy is gone, but that's exactly when the collision happened.

It ain't dead til the icon isn't there.

Okay thanks ... the other question is what is proxy kill range?

It used to be 2.5k.

When I bailed P51 that got proxy kill was about 5k away and he never pinged me.

According to arena setup it's 18,000 = 6k
