You can show damage to other aircraft by setting up a window that shows console messages, may be other ways as well, tells you if you have done damage hit the pilot/gunner etc.

Yup, it already exists in the console/chat message window that's part of the default interface.

It's not as detailed as the damage updates about your own aircraft (ie, you won't see "AI got an oil gasket leak" like you can for your own aircraft) but it tells me when i kill pilots, gunners, etc.

Yes, I have this switched on but not detailed enough for me. The information about the enemy crew is exactly the sort of thing I am talking about, though, since a message that you killed the top gunner (or whatever) is excellent confirmation that you were on target and avoided armour etc.

The additional information would just be good for learning how to target fuel tanks, ammo caches etc.

Yea i know and have that already enabled bud

I like the sound of it but TBH enough people have viewed this thead and only a handful of repsponce so i guess thats speaks volumes to whether its a good idea to have it or not..

Im thinking.... Not then

had some good points made though

EDIT>>SRY FOR DOUBLE POST

This would be quite nice to have and really doesn't seem like much to ask.

Also, how the hell do you get from "lots of people thought this thread was worth reading" to "nobody wants this"?

Not my thread but straightforward enough - lack of supporting comments despite the read count. Also, counts aren't really reflective of interest when the thread title is so non-descriptive.
