Default Do You Play With Damage Notices?
Title of the thread says it all.

Do you like having the damage notices on to tell you that you've damaged your 194th bolt on the port side wing? Or do you prefer to turn such messages off, considering them a form of unknowable knowledge?

Also, what's your reasoning behind your decision?

-

I turn them off. I found it neat when I first started playing to see all the little bits and pieces that can sustain damage, but once I was settled in I turned it off. There's no way I should know that my radiator is perforated unless I can use my eyes and guages to identify the problem. I find it more exciting that way and I feel will make me a better pilot as I learn to really listen to what my aircraft is telling me with its various ways of talking.

Off and it should be a difficulty setting.

Off for me, If I can't see it out of my cockpit, or on the gauges, hear it, or notice it through the controls I don't want to know about it.
Last thing I want is more crap and clutter popping up on the screen!

I agree that the HUD should be a server setting.

When I fly the Blenheim I have damage on as it seems that I only have to look at a gauge or control in the wrong way for one or the other or sometimes both engines to suffer internal damage. Based in the information in the 1939 RAF Pilot Notes for the Blenheim IV I would say the engine modelling in COD is too sensitive to damage through overheating or over revving. For all other aircraft I leave the damage window off.

Off is best for me. I got rid of the Enemy Destroyed stuff too. Sometimes not knowing is more immersive.
