Nothing random about -if you crash him, you will die-
Don't make the mistake of thinking the general population at AH is represented here ... There are a LOT of players UNHAPPY with the collision model,
Sure there are. A lot of people want things to be magically perfect. Due to the laws of physics, the options are the current way, the way you want it, or a way that effectively means collisions are turned off.
Ok... Once more, for the cheap seats... The filled in images are what is seen from the P47's point of view. Notice the P51 about 3 plane lengths back. The 'ghost' image is the P51's point of view, where it collides with the P47.
If you were in this P47 under your system, you would die. Under the current system, you live, because the collision did not occur on your end.
Explain again why the way you want it is preferable?
