I haven't noticed it yet but I'm sure I will. Rifles destroying tanks seems kind of crazy to me. Also, if a plane hits a parachute, I think both should die.

I believe this is the same as seeing some fly through hilltops. Ialways play it off as the ground level, building, trees, ect are just a hair bit different on each playing platform (apple/droid). Its the same to me as seeing a tank that looks like its parked inside of a building, knowing hes probably just close on his game but I see him as inside.

Could be wrong.

It's not unusual at least for me that the airfield is gone. If thats the case they won't see any buildings and therefore can shoot you. Kinda like the clouds.
Don't know if this is the case in your case but it might be an explanation to your problem.

I've been shot down a lot when the game or enemy lags, and it looks like he is still on the runway while I am swooping down (often from the diagonal with a building between us), but suddenly I am killed. Then their plane vanishes from the runway and is somewhere off my screen.

I don't think I've seen bullets coming through buildings, but I'll keep an eye out. I've certainly seen bullets come through hills when mine won't do the same, and planes that I'm chasing fly through hilltops and briefly through earth, but I assume that's a platform difference in terrain data (we've seen that about a year and a half ago).

I still think the ground levels aren't the same height.remember the floating planes at spawn or the planes spawning underground or the mole tank days.I've seen planes so low that they are underground to me.Same thing happens when you get shot through a hill.They see you but to you the hill is higher so you see nothing but bullets coming through the hill.
In your case the buildings are higher so they appear behind to you but to them they are above the building and see you to get a clean shot.

That and radar wasn't invented till the 30s. But i once worked for 90 yr old man who told me he operated the radar in 1918 and it was top secret

Ok. I've seen it. Defending my base when the enemy flew thru a building. He said he flew between, but i was right behind him and had to pull up or die. I've also been chasing quite a few that go underground. I was going to ask the guy what OS he's using, but he thought I tried to say he was cheating or something. He still hasn't figured it out lol.


And I'm on android in case your wondering

I see planes appear flush away, have que.esperar to them again to knock it crash lol.
