In relation to this topic, I wouldn't mind seeing destroyed aircraft smoking on the ground after a crash for a little while after the crash. Would give you a feel for just how intense a furball is when you see 20-30 smoking heaps of wreckage scattered below the fight. Of course, the issue will be a lose of frame rates for people with crappy computers (like mine 
)
Add smoke and spiral to the plane
as it goes down.
I have wasted a few rounds on an aircraft that was already downed but it's carcass rolled in front of me before I could see there was no icon beneath it.
A collapsed v shaped wing and spiral roll to the deck smoking or not, would not only ease my trigger finger, but also might forget it's a cartoon and
the poor bugger gets out in time.
If it could be treated as other effects are that can be turned on or off by the player, we might avoid some performance issues with crappy cpu's like Latrobe and mine.
