On my screen i fired, pulled up then about 1-2 seconds later you blew up. I heard it behind me after i flew past. Will go on a vulchin spree tonight to see if planes that are on fire on thedeck blow up or not. Gonna piss off some blues tonigjt i think.

Just a thought...

Could have.

That's what I was thinking, too. When you have two experienced, scrupulously honest, veteran players who each adamantly know what they saw & experienced.....then you know that, in essence, both are right. A third party effect is the culprit, ie lag, warping, or something similar.

I know from clunking into enemy AI bombers because I didn't pull up quickly enough that the Spits have a collision model, forcing me to bail from a one-winged aircraft. The AI bomber that I struck usually continues on without apparent damage -- which is expected because I was the faster (per ram damage modelling IIRC).

Not that it made a difference.........

@Krupi. There's been many times where I've collided with a 109 and he's been fine and I've gone in. Just crappy DM's mate.

Tell a little more about this.
Where you were aiming, loadout, convergence settings?
