Author Topic: No mid-airs in AH2? (Read 1430 times)

I had suspected for some time that there were no mid-airs in AH2. Last night I filmed proof! After going winchester on a trio of Lancs, who for some reason were ignoring me, I decided to ram the SOB.

After passing directly through the center of the lead lanc a number of times, I pulled back on the throttle and entered the formation, INSIDE THE LEAD LANC! I sat inside the lancs bomb bay for maybe 30 seconds.

I'm at work now, but I will forward the video to anyone interested this evening.

Alot less of those "SOB Rammed me!!!" comments I use to hear all the time on range. Still hear them from time to time, just alot less of them now. Good or bad I dont know. The lag induced crashes were the worst and I no longer worry about those.

Been saying it since way back. Just send the film to HT.

I know for sure that I have unintentionally rammed people and been damaged by it. It's happened a couple times to me when I am too close to a con and he chops throttle to try to force an overshoot.

However, I do recall seeming to fly through bomber wings or tails on a couple slash attacks. I think perhaps the fighter collision code is working, but the bomber code is not.

No Enemy Collisions

Excellent proof that you are indeed a ramming dweeb ...

I no longer even worry about ramming a bomber, just fly right on thru them, every time.

I rammed a n1k with my 262 trying to come up from below the other day.... I can asure you that at the time, collision was on, cost me 258 perks to find out.

Sorry dog! This was me and XtremeJ meeting between fields to test it.

Have heard several reports about 262s and rams. Could be they are on?

I am sure I have collided with neme aircraft. But it is now very rare. I think the collision bubble is quite small.

It seem less to me.. But believe me..I have mid airs several times now in AH2.

Seems to me the issue is you CANT collide with a BOMBER, but you can with another fighter...

I have rammed right through fighters with no collision. I haven't captured it on film yet though. There is a screen shot higher up of someone else with no fighter collisions.

Can someone post a film to show there ARE fighter collision?

Maybe only some of us have collisions?

Can we get some word from HTC on this?
