Yes. You can fly with half a wing missing, but it gets a lot more exciting as you have fewer control/wing surfaces.

This is going to make a HUGE difference for MG-armed planes. While cannon birds will be able to take advantage of it as well, this is definitely going to benefit MGs more since it no longer requires completely blowing off a part to impact the target's ability to fly and fight (seeing as cannon are already more likely to cause outright component failure as it is).

I can't wait for the first time I see an enemy spiral out of control because the skin of his wing has been all shot to hell. :D

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

It can be incremental but the WW1 planes currently are not.  The WW1 damage stuff was kept pretty simple to start with.  We have some more goodies to add yet.

Exactly when have the developers ever given anyone a peek at their hand on the boards?  The only time I've seen anything is if you insult them or their work.

I'm just always amused by the "we'll wait to see what HTC says" questions because they never say.

Control system damage causes you the afflicted control to stop responding.  Surface damage will degrade performance of control surfaces and decrease lift and add drag on wings.  However, adding drag to draggy planes that fly at slow speed doesn't have a huge effect.

Same result is the last one I'd expect...  :devil

Pretty much the point I was making: Cannon won't change all that much, but it should have a big impact for MGs.

Especially the lower caliber machine guns that right now only make nice little holes in your plane.

You can tear one of the sequiplanes off the camel and it seems to be able to get away from another camel still.
I hope if they turn on the pin salamander damage to flight model from MGs they turn on the MGs burning out from long bursts.
