Collisions always destroys the component, there is no partial damage.

Hmm... if/when that comes, will there be a resurgence of people flying typhies and P47s and other large, heavy pieces of aircraft in an attempt to find the best aircraft for ramming?

LOL!  Demolition derby in 3D...

meh I've just been confused the last couple of weeks. It doesn't matter if it says "You have collided" or "So and so has collided with you" I still end up missing pieces and falling to the ground  :furious
Like, ya know, when that thing that makes you move, it has pistons and things, When your thingamajigy is providing power, you do not hear other peoples thingamajig when they are providing power.

If you ONLY see "you have collided", that means the collision only happended on your front-end and the other guy's front-end did not see the collision.  If you ONLY see "xxx has collided with you", then it only happened to him - you won't even hear a sound.  If you see BOTH messages, then both front-ends saw a collision and you both take damage.  Now, the amount of damage and what gets damaged could be the difference between you both going down and one of you being able to limp home.

If on the other hand he was firing his guns as you "collided", you could have avoided the collision (you only saw "xxx has collided with you) but his guns tore you apart before he collided.

One lesson to learn here is to not get into a position where anyone gets close enough to collide.  Easier said than done sometimes, but if people actually try to learn proper ACM, they won't be trying to fly through their opponent's cockpit all the time and collisions would be few and far between.
