Figured I'd start a new topic for this, after the wish/complaint thread about hangars being shut down in the DA:
I'd like to be able to receive "Target Destroyed" messages in the Training Arena when working with ordinance.
As it is, you get the LCOS when your ordinance is armed but some attack angles still put this below your plane where you can't see it, so you're still left with "feeling" where your bombs are going to land. You can look for craters but that doesn't necessarily tell you if your hits were still near enough to inflict damage, as in the Mains I've had bombs go short but the "splash" was still sufficient to take down a hangar or other object.
This really leaves the DA "bombing range" and Mains for "live fire" practice, which have their own problems (predominantly in the possibility of enemy aircraft getting in the way).
So what I'd like to see is a "target destroyed" message in the Training Arena when you've delivered sufficient ordinance or fire to destroy a ground object, whether by ordinance or guns, based on the "arena standard."
