controlable damage
« on: April 16, 2012, 10:14:03 AM »
It would be of great use to be able to have an in flight menu in offline and the training arean in which you could self destruct and part of your plane at will, so that way you could train in getting damaged planes back to base, or for dogfitting with damaged parts.

This is a quite interesting (and useful) suggestion.

Heck I get lots of practice with that! That's why I take a plane with a lot of extra parts! :D

I always thought it was a great training tool in other games.  Even a dot command would work fine.
