So that evens the score

And as I fly a lot with Spits I killed a lot of my kites by getting too close loosing wings and stuff (I posted some pictures on the sturmo forum as you might have notived - or not, Snafu). Now as I currently switch to the 109 I do less collisions as I am now more proficient with the CoD FM.

Perhaps this might be the cause of your observation.

Another cause may be that distance seems to be different making Spitties believe that they are too close while they are not.

My impression however is that like IL2 the slower planes usually wins the collision fight.

Ramming a well flown 109 the other day after pouring in hundreds of .303 bullets at close range to finally get a PK, my hurri exploded in a mini-fireball with the other plane falling normally to earth with loose pieces.

I think it's an anti-careless-rammer device that correct one very annoying point of IL2. Bomber pilots will love it !

Rams (a human ctrlled plane) means blowing up

As I wrote, I spent most of my CoD time in the FMB, watching AI fighting, and there I noticed that diving Spits more often fly through Stukas without much damage, while 109s bouncing a group of Spits usually loose 10-20% of their strength in the first bounce, due to collision with the Spits, while the Spits get out without much damage.

My online time is too limited, that I would really draw any serious conclusions from that for myself, but I was surprised a few times, about Spits with which I crashed together, just carried on as if nothing happend, while myself ending up in huge fire ball. And for now, I am mostly the guy low and slow, due to the fact that I don´t see anything from above and that flying the 109 in scissors is a real challange and fun. So I am usually the slower one of the 2 planes crashing.
