Give me some "holy sh... did that just happen" ideas

Forgive me if any of these ideas have been posted before, but i would like to see the following for single player/campaign.

1. I would like to be able to change the names in the pilot roster for my squadron, I know it sounds a little bit daft, but if you can put names in of people you know then you do hope they make it back in one piece, rather than just red 2 being shot down. does that make sense?

2. I would also like to see an attachment to my aircraft, for example if i take a couple of hits in a mission it would be nice to visibly see in the next mission that it as been patched up, you really would want to get the old girl home if you'd done 20 sorties in her.

3. I would also like to see my kills painted on my aircraft after each sortie.

HI!!!

I think the following ideas, that are:

- Show the weight when you config. your plane, by example: when i get the default 109 G-6 its weight xxxxx, but I added MK108 gun his weight is xxxx (diferent). The weight would change and SHOW whit the config load and litters in gas tank.

- I read in several pilots WW2 boook that when they were hitted in any surface control the stick jumped and shaking out control during a bit time. It would be modeled.

Thx.

Some people seem to misunderstand what this topic is about.

Instructions, from the first post of the topic:

..looking for some ideas to break up the monotony. Things that make you jump out of your seat. Things that immerse you in the game world. These can be based on historical events, or these can be your own ideas, as long as they're rooted in reality.

This means things that happen before the mission, during the mission, or after the mission. Interesting new mission types. Events. Features. These can be one-off events we may try to recreate during the mission, or more general ideas such as "it'd be cool if X did Y when Z".

See your wingman telling something to you with hand gestures from his cockpit, ( or maby only say hello, even enemy sometimes ) while radio silence. This would be really funny and inmersive thing, eh!, the guy of the other plane is really alive !

lots of good ideas...here is a couple of mine.

when your plane gets hit it would be good to see...

Gycol(maybe smearing affect on the goggles)

smoke entering the cockpit(clearing a bit if you open the hood)

fire effects in the cockpit(that would make you bail more quickly)

bits of glass or cockpit instruments shattering(hit affects)

cheers

Like flying an I-16 type 6 at 80% throttle , jerk up the stick too fast and the carb gets starved for fuel and the engine dies just after making a straffing run on an IJA tank or supply convoy.... now what the xxxx do I do ? it wont restart as the fuel has now vapor locked and I am at 200 meters doing 250 kph and over heated .... and now theres a Ki-26 on my tail , no radio to call for help and the ground is closing fast " type of thing ?????
1)can't bail out so do I keep trying to restart or
2)throw my hands up in the air and hope the dude in Ki can see me surrender,
3)l hit my landing gear and flaps and try to land or ??????
4)Die.
