Furthermore, there are exactly ZERO places on your average WW2 airplane where a single bullet - even a big one - can simultaneously wipe out rudder, ailerons and elevators, yet it happens occasionally in IL2.
You also bring up another control damage option I forgot to mention - limited range of motion for damaged control surfaces.
Currently, you have loss of control surfaces, complete loss of control of control surfaces, and partial loss of authority from control surfaces. But, you don't have limited range of motion from damaged controls, such as a rudder that you can only turn right, or which only travels through 50% of its full arc when turned to the right.
