The ram mechanic is ridiculous and needs changing. How can 2 aircraft going head to head ram head-on and have one survive? It's especially bad with players and bots in heavy fighters making full use of their superior speed and flight ceiling to turn their aircraft into battering rams, usually coming out the far side with little to no damage. Hell, i've even seen light fighters ram me in a multirole WITH Bombs on and come out of it with no visible damage. It's beyond ridiculous, and needs to change.
A simple fix:
light fighter rams light fighter = both die.
light fighter rams multirole = both die
light fighter rams hvy fighter OR hvy rams light = light dies, hvy takes 3/4 max health damage (no more hvy being able to ram multiple planes with impunity)
hvy rams multirole (empty) = MR dies, hvy takes 3/4 max health damage.
hvy rams multirole (bomb load) = both die
hvy rams hvy = both die.
The clipping damage is reasonable, but the ram damage is unrealistic and being exploited badly.
PLEASE! This is so frustrating, it really needs fixing. This ^ is a simple, realistic fix that would stop the rot.
