2. ramming. Not sure if it's the same for both sides, but sometimes I've collided and the other A/C has fallen apart whilst I've merrily flown on. Odd.
3. Damage decals... I don't know how confusing these are for the blue pilots, but they don't really indicate likely performance on the red A/C. Sometimes , though, I see no damage, yet cannot fly. Other times I have holes... but no effect on combat performance.

Trust me, that wasn't my post! LOL

But he/she did raise some valid points which few take issue -- including the canopy. Haven't collided with any 109's post patch, but I'll take the faceless "snapperpuss" word that it's only the Spit that flies away unharmed from a ramming and never the 109. Huge damage on a Spit but no change in performance? Hmmm, as I said in my response to him -- I haven't been that lucky yet!
