I am not, and Visual /= Actual.

I am all about an exaggerated power of .303 for the sake of getting to zit faced teen happy.

All the damage point simply make it possible to take out parts, but still fly the aircraft.

For instance, the elevator cable may be shot away, but you can still fly using the TRIM (forget about trying to combat, but at least you can maintain control).
