Question about Collisions...

Solution: take collisions off til it is properly modelled?

Nothing is improperly modelled.  Its real simple....if you avoid on your end you dont take damage.

Get it?

I take issue with the way collision damage is modelled with this analogy:

On my FE I avoid someone's bullets fired at me but on his FE he hits me.  Applying the collision model would mean that I don't take damage.

Think about it.

collisions were off, and it is open season for the HO types because they can attack full bore without fear of dying from damage with collisions off.

alot of the all out HOing is now reduced once collisions were turned back on, people try to dodge instead of HO for fear they might ram the other plane.

although it  isn't modeled as one would hope, it still holds its purpose for detracting people from trying to play Aces Joust! for this sole reason I like collisions turned on........as I think most others probably do as well.  Also it is modeled as best as it can be given the nature of the internet.

Yea, collisions on = better fights, plain and simple.

I hate to collide or get rammed as much as the next guy, but if it makes real fighter pilots out of the plethora of HO artists, eventually, it's worth the short-term pain for the long-term gain in 'fun factor'.

Yea... but to apply the bullet damage model to the collision problem means you'd have situations where you are zipping merrily along, and some enemy plane dives through a spot 300 yards behind you.  Then your tail falls off, and you are like "WTF?".. Oh, it was someone from Nigeria playing on a 14.4 modem.

The way they have it set up is the best way possible, in my opinion.

The same logic holds true ... your just looking at it from the wrong end of the equation.

Think about it.

BlueMako your missing the point.

Gunnery & collisions are 2 seperate factors that can damage your plane. They work differently.  You can not tie them together.

while the result may be the same, you can not look at gunnery with the same system you look at collisions.


You can not apply the collision model to gunnery.

The collsion model is the way it has to be. Partly as a result of net lag that can not be elminated.

The gunnery model is the way it has to be, partly to eleminate the results of net lag.

See the difference?

You can dodge a bullet?  From what I understand, if I see a hit, I get a hit.  It doesn't matter what the other guy sees, he takes the damage in the place I hit him.

Since I am not good at dodging bullets, I think this works quite well.  You need to face reality, there will always be lag (at least until HT figures out this speed of light thing) and two on-line players will never see the exact same thing in real time.
