Smiting Them Hip & Thigh

[Freycinet]

You're wrong. It shows that it matters where you hit. He didn't do any crucial damage to me and a lucky machine gun bullet set his engine on fire (probably severing a fuel line or something like that). I would be very sad to fly a sim where the damage is completely predictable after you put a bullet in a hit bubble. The outcome of engagements similar to this has most often been the opposite, in the many dogfights I've flown.
