a mode (usefull for rookies) that would allow the pilot shooting on a target to see (readable information on the screen), in real-time, technical information about the dammage caused by his shoot . For example, rudder hit - 70% destroyed etc., left wing hit 2% dammaged

I think this kind of functionnality could help rookies to improve their skill in dogfight.

Another point, a detailed statistic chart at the end of the mission would be great to evaluate your action.

Thanks for reading

I think thats a feature for fps and it's much too arcadish for MY taste.
It might be interesting in training, but then it would be very hard to hit always the same parts to get the same results, so it seems rather pointless for me.
We should remember that we don't have hit-boxes for a wing or the fuselage but a lot of really small hit-boxes for all the sub-systems and parts.
One would get messages like:
Left wing, Spar 3, 4 and 6 hit; lost 50% stability;
Hydraulic Line left gear holed, 100% pressure lost;
Engine hit, spark-plugs 12 and 13 100% damaged, Power loss 12%;....
For the training it would be enough to show the hits with markers like in IL2

my thoughts
