IIRC, in the original IL2, gore switched on in the config.ini file did mostly nothing to most planes, but a successful head to head pass on an He111 could result in splattered red 'blood' on the cockpit glass, barely, but still visible as it flashed passed at the merge.
I think this was an original IL2 feature that was edited out due to classification considerations years ago. The He111 gore was a relic. But it was pretty cool.
It would be good to see similar low-key visual indications of crew injury in damaged planes introduced into CoD. Completely denying any stylised visual representation of injury in a combat sim does seem slightly silly.
On the the other hand, I've also gotta say that wanting to see separated limbs in a flight sim is pretty weird and I'm glad that nobody here is seriously suggesting that.
