Collision Detection, a little over zealous?

Im just wondering if anyone else has noticed some slight weirdness with the collision detection in the game? Ive had a few instances of mid-air collisions that I felt I had avoided, or was not that close. A number of them have been from a head-on pass with another fighter. I really noticed it last night in a heavy dogfight. I did a head-on pass with my spit vs 109, and we both made a break at the last second. I was pretty darn sure I was clear and past him and THEN the planes exploded with mid-air collisions.

Lag maybe? But even so it seems a little off, almost as if the collision models are slight overlarge or dragging a bit behind the aircraft.

Yeah thats almost certainly lag. The colision detection is almost perfect in SP modes.

Compared to Warbirds and Aces High I think this is the BEST collision detection yet. I have been able to avoid collision in VERY close passes that would have been registered as hits in the prior mentioned sims. This includes online play for me.

I thought the collision detection was alright, maybe just lag. It's pretty fun like playing chicken with people in MP.

Anyone else do it?

Im just trying to bring guns on target with this damned Aviator deadzone issue LOL! I get creamed in head-on passes every time. Ive been setting up lead turns instead and going straight for the angles advantage.
