Rot, it's near impossible to intentionally ram and give damage and not receive damage due to unknown lag differences. Since planes are free and nobody really dies, intentional rams would increase if both took damage every time. Dweebs will be dweebs.

Fighter Ace was not a pier to pier game.

I know, I stated that; that if someone tries to ram they will get damage if they succeed. I'm not saying both should take damage. 

What I'm saying is bombers, unless you are 999/Snail,  are at a pretty good disadvantage. What happens is a guy comes in full bore, pulls away at last second, his angle was to high/speed to great for gunner to track him, bomber gets a collision on his end, ftr doesn't. The bomber can't do anything about it, why should he get the damage?
They're casting their bait over there, see?

Way to pick the petty, persnickety and petulant path rather than addressing the substance of what he has to say......  Basically proving one of his points in his original post...
Yama, I feel your pain.....  whether it's Goofy Tricksters 101 stick-stirring subterranean flights or trying to saddle up on warpy warpsters..... Sadly those who haven't seen seemingly seamless enemy flight paths on a server based flight sim won't ever get the disparity we're talking about.   But, alas our beloved Fighter Ace is gone and rather than dwell on AH's comparative shortcomings, I choose rather to accentuate its positives.

Well said Nishizwa and I like your attitude.  I've always enjoyed my fights with you and you're deadly in those maneuverable planes if I lose the speed and E advantage.

Just be glad he didn't post a picture of a pier when he posted that.  I was shocked.   :O

It's not shocking just a bit sad that we all can't be a little more respectful to each other.  If anything ever stops me from logging on to the game it would be the attitudes of some of the folks here.  My time is limited and I'm discerning with respect to whom I'll spend it with.  Luckily there are far more decent good sports here than Rumal and Phaelen types.

What are these better flight simulators? What are these well known cheats that nothing is done about? How much did fighter ace cost and why is it out of business? If collisions are so aggravating would it be better to just turn them off? How do I deliberately collide with someone on there FE, why would that be easier than using guns? Am understanding correctly that a server based game means that a player's control inputs travel to the server and the changes in position come back?

Very sad.  Very sad, indeed.
