Perhaps SE you didn't realize that "interim solution" means a temporary workaround that may provide the information you requested. I was not casting aspersions at your wish for a more complete damage display but simply mentioning that you can now know which side of the elevator is missing, just by looking aft for a second.
You inffer stupidity when you make such a suggestion. Been playing for almost 10 years, but flew the 38 very little until recently (last 2-3 mo or so) so I am quite capable of looking back. I just happened to notice the abnormality and did not understand why a single object could act almost as well broken as it does whole, yet wing damage causes major changes in flight characteristics. Infact, with that half wing gone, the plane lurches to the side, were as the elevator does little in terms of jerking the airplane making it much less obvious what is hurt without constantly having the damage reference up.
Also by your retort, we can hypothesize along two lines with your style of game play. You, either, like the stability of the game as it is now, along with it's realism, unrealistic attributes with certain factors and the latent bugs, which probably means a change could also potentially make an alteration you do not want. Where as the second, you believe it should be closer to reality than a game. If it is the former, threaten to quit any time they update because it might change your comfort level. If it is the former, then don't ever use any updates in terms of new planes, shiny new graphics, new sound controls, bombing sights in any form, gunners on bombers firing all guns, Tigers that don't have the armor they should and the list goes on. Oh and turn off icons, they aren't real either.
I want a change with the 38, like the G model was 5-600lbs off at some point, or they reinforced the structure to make all models more viable aircraft. By your answer also, CV groups should be larger because it's an immersion factor, Zeke's should not fight 109's nor be able to lob an egg on a Panzer because that would be an immersion factor that is unrealistic.
I do not mean imply your statement is wrong, but for me and my wish, it is perfectly invalid.
