Meh... They could use a simple DM (and nothing else: no AI, no instruments, no FM calculations). Giving the DM management on another core it should not have a great impact on the performance. You only need to keep the DM parts who cause a visual damage on them (holes) or because of them (flames).

It's sure that this actual "2 states" DM for the stationary airpanes it's a great immersion killer during the gound attacks...

I'm willing to wait that day.

PS: of course I use the word "should" since I'm not in the development team and I don't know the code. But I doubt anyone here know it.

A whole generation of pilots learned to treasure the Spitfire for its delightful response to aerobatic manoeuvres and its handiness as a dogfighter. Iit is odd that they had continued to esteem these qualities over those of other fighters in spite of the fact that they were of only secondary importance tactically.Thus it is doubly ironic that the Spitfire’s reputation would habitually be established by reference to archaic, non-tactical criteria.
