some detail info from review highlighted to discus

Speaking of effects, once you've shot a plane down, what happens when it hits the ground? (Besides the obvious fiery explosion) We've all seen how amazing the buildings, trees, etc. look in this game, and I know I'm asking too much, but wouldn't it be cool if the plane actually had an impact on the object it crashed into? For most of us who have played flight sims on the ps3 or 360, you probably know that even if you slam into an object at over 300 miles per hour you usually just explode and get a subtle GAME OVER message, and the object you crashed into still stands there mocking you. What I'm saying is it would be nice to see bullet holes rip up the turf or shred a building. Can anyone elaborate?

In IL2 it would leave an impact crater and I read in one review that downed planes stay where they crashed. Also if your plane does crash into the target, it will destroy the target, but you are dead.
And for the bullets, I think they leave smaller craters, but I don't think they stay for long.

Alright that sounds good, my question was more directed towards multiplayer, but I think as long as I can tear someone's wing off I'll be fine.
