The damage model is looking a lot better...

Now how about much better looking hit sprites?  AH2 inherits the generic hit sprites from AH1:noid

Yes. I've asked this once before no response lol. The damage model is looking very realistic these days. Now all we need is the atmosphere and sun/clouds.

The question I have is whether this is just cosmetic, or is this going to actually update the EFFECTS of damage in-flight. IE, instead of control surfaces either being there or not, will they become less effective as they get chewed up? Will having a bunch of holes in the wing affect the amount of lift generated, causing that wing to want to drop?

Purely cosmetic.  

The Damage effects that you mentioned would be nice to have but it will open a can of worms:noid

errm they made new ones a while back, the hit sprites aint from AH1.... well maybe the 50cal, but the 20s and 30s are different

Yeah, the 30mm ones look sweet IMO. Nice firemelon at point of impact.

You sure about that? I can't tell a diffrence anyways..

Cosmetic changes don't make it an updated damage model, then. Damage modeling has nothing to do with how it LOOKS, but how it actually AFFECTS flight performance.
