I've crashed into a few people online, but i never did it on purpose.
Midair collisions are unavoidable in these kinds of games imo...

Just be glad that it's not possible to score kills this way. (Yes i'm talking about you Battlefield 1943 )

I was chasing a stuka the other day, kept pumping lead into him, and when I almost killed him, a teammate tried to steal my kill but flew into me in the process...

Yeah its damn anoying when youve been hammering someone for about 30 seconds only for a team mate to swoop down and finish him. But I know I probably do the same to some of my teammates without even realizing it sometimes. If I see a posible kill below me I'll go for it. I don't think anybody goes out especially to steal kills, it just kinda "happens".

I dont try and steal kill myself, but I will be someones go "wingman" and fly in tandem with them if they are on a target. Then if the enemy makes a move and the other guy has to break off, Im in the lead seat to take him out. Sometimes though, It means that Im attacking from an angle and the teammate may get a a round or two in him if hes not so great at manourvering in close.

If you barrel roll towards the attacker, during a head on pass, you are impossible to hit. This was a common RAF ace tactic.

At a well timed moment, timing being a matter of skill here, pull a "Split S" or "Immelmann" (stall turn) and you will end up smack on the tail of the dumb smuck..... then it's a matter of shooting straight.

I've lost count of the number of players I've caught with this trick, some repeatly in the same game.

Seriously, if one wants to be better than good in this game, one needs to read up a lot about dogfighting tricks and stunts, especially those of the WW1 aces.

Actually it is, if you hit him with gunfire just before you crash into him.

Hmmm, your definition of wingman is different to mine. I consider it the wingman's job to keep the lead's 6 clear, not wait until he has to bug out to scavenge his kill.
