This may be a stretch, but I was wondering how realistic it was to go over the visual representation of damage.
Currently a broken spar results in the wing fracturing into 4 or 5 parts. It looks unrealistic and gives the wrong impression of the effectiveness of cannons (one or two rounds appear totally disintegrate a wing or tail rather than just weaken a spar to the point of failure).
I was wondering if this could be fixed because I noticed that the Yak-1 has a 3 part wing that can come off in one piece if struck at the root. It seems odd that this feature wasn't applied to other planes. It would help realism a lot.
Giving these fragments a collision box would also be great. Considering that there is now the G-limit feature which "bends" the airframe rather than breaks it, I wonder if it would be possible to offer a new type of collision model which takes into account energy (speed and mass) of impact and decides whether or not to simply damage, or tear off, parts of another plane.
