Effects of icing/freezing on instruments and flight characteristics.

Secondary explosions after shooting at ground-targets.

Nice effects for shattering glass or canopy e.g. by influencing vision.

Partially blocked controls.

Jams depending on maneuver and conditions.

Fire causes further damage not only by exploding a tank, but e.g. by burning elevator and rudder if located directly behind the fire.


BTW: In B-17 II flying through dense FlaK caused a thrilling sound, when the plane collided with a non-lethal shrapnel e.g. falling back to the ground. That increase immersion vastly. IIRC the smoke from the FlaKpuffs also left some dirt on the glass.
