Plane damages

I believe the devs are already working on improving the planes a lot, but just in case, I want to make this suggestion here. Make plane damage visible to the pilot (holes in wings, parts missing, red light flashing) as it would add a lot of cinematic value to have a little bit of fire sometimes in the bullet holes. In every movie or a ww2 cinematic planes always go down in a cloud of smoke and fire and it looks real nice. It would be great to have this here as well, both for the attacked pilot to feel like he’s dying an epic death and for the attacker who will feel better, seeing the enemy planes fall in flames instead of spinning in circle with few splinters falling of.

I believe they already have some of this, today I saw my flaps fly off from going to fast

Yeah flaps do that, same as the engines that stop spinning when shot on Ju 188. Sometimes you also produce smoke when hit.
But the smoke happens very scarcely and sometimes the xray says i lost half my wing and when i look at it from Pilot’s POV the wing is completely fine. It would be nice to improve it further
