"Still, both should take damage!"
- So you are telling me that you would like to suffer ramming damage even when you avoided a collision?


Yes see reference Sonderkommando "Elbe"

There is still free player arenas, and the dueling arena is free too.  Sometimes it's populated with a few guys, but it always has drones.

Hmm maybe try that for some member berries and see you guys in another 14 years.

Doesn't seem like your first rodeo.  :rofl

I figured E or F based on date. Maybe E-3?


Certainly E, not F. Exact model cannot be seen from this pic and all E:s looked pretty much the same.


Bf 109E variants and sub-variants

E-0 (Pre-production aircraft with 4 × 7.92 mm/.312 in MG 17 machine guns)
E-1 (Similar to E-0)
E-1/B (Fighter-bomber version of E-1, usually with DB 601Aa)
E-2 (Limited production, additional Motorkanone engine mounted MG FF cannon, otherwise as E-3)
E-3 (Similar to E-1 but 2 × 20 mm MG FFs in the wings instead of the MG 17)
E-4 (Armour and structural improvements, change of MG FF cannons to MG FF/M. "Square" canopy)
E-4/B (Fighter-bomber version of E-4, 1 × 250 kg/550 lb bomb, usually with DB 601Aa)
E-4 trop (Version of E-4 modified to serve in tropical regions)
E-4/N (E-4 with DB601N engine)
E-4/BN (Fighter-bomber version of E-4/N, 1 × 250 kg/550 lb bomb)
E-5 (Recon version of E-3, camera equipment, 2 × 7.92 mm/.312 in MG 17)
E-6 (Recon version of E-4/N, camera equipment, 2 × 7.92 mm/.312 in MG 17)
E-7 (Similar to E-4 but with optional 300 L drop tank)
E-7/N (Similar to E-4/N but with optional 300 L tank)
E-7/NZ (also known as E-7/Z, an E-7/N with additional GM-1 nitrous oxide injection system)
E-7/U2 (Ground attack variant of E-7 with additional armour)
E-8 (Long-range version of E-1 using drop tank installation of E-7, 4 × 7.92 mm/.312 in MG 17)
E-9 (Recon version of E-7/N, drop tank, camera equipment, 2 × 7.92 mm/.312 in MG 17)

You said that last time I posted years ago. Whether true or not the system is dumb. Should be accurate collision detection.

When you can log on with an absolutely perfect connection, this will be adjusted. The collision is such as different folks have different connections.

Paint theme though. There is no yellow on the bottom by engine and prop so I figured that might help with the exact specification.

I am assuming the general consensus on Hurricane is its a Mk1 it can't be anything else. Right?

Early 90's there was The Sierra Network, which later became The Imagination Network. Was dial in back then. Their biggest attraction initially was Red Baron. Players would go 2 vs 2 per session. Lag was often as bad as 10 seconds. Made for some interesting fights.

Paint theme was changing several times depending on many things, model cannot be confirmed with it. About Hurri, looks like it but I must confess I know German kites better.

I member AOL Air Warrior 1 you would shoot at planes that weren't there due to lag. They would warp across the screen at random.

I remember people complaining about being on 2400bps and going up against someone on 9600bps.
Had also heard there was a lot of problems when pentiums first came around but I'd left by then.
