it would be awesome if there was a (multiplayer) option where the server actually stored and remembers individual aircrafts (including battle damage etc) instead of just # respawns via the gennadich script (which is great nonetheless). which basically interlinks with what bobb4 asked, now you can land with many holes and respawn with a totally new plane as if nothing had happened to the old one
this would also require some sort of "behind-the-scenes" repairs and refueling/rearming simulation, maybe with server-adjustable times requried for each
