I know they do that so they don't have to deal with rendering a hulk after the player has left, but that has always been a pet peeve of mine. The pilot is killed (or bails and exits flight) and *poof* his aircraft disappears.
I've been wishing to have debris build up on the ground as the battle rages on.
Of course it would have to dissipate after a while, but could you imagine just how much wreckage you could pile up on a field with a good cap?
Or on the other hand, Imagine sitting in a Wirby blasting away and having the wreckage pile up around you eventually forcing you to move to a new location?

Not that I've been able to actually HIT anything with a Wirby yet
