Wounds:
1. On airplanes, there is not much protecting you. The Engine, a bit of armored glass, a bit of plating behind your head. Think about the fack that the rounds would just about have to come in perpendicular to the armor for it to work. I have seen a guy hit in the butt by a 30mm that did not arm, took his leg right off at the hip. If it had armed, he would have disappeared. So, any pilot wound I survive, I chalk it up to luck. If you were a real person in the airplane, the first pings would probably freak you out enough to quit pressing the attack.
2. THE ONE I DEPLORE: Tanks used to get pilot wounds. Not anymore. I would like the ability to kill or wound a human in the commanders position. I get very annoyed being pilot wounded while in an IL-2 by a pintle gun. Especially when I am raining 37mm onto the turret at the same time. If there were really a "person", the flying fragments would certainly wound them or damage the pintle gun. It would be great if the guy was up in the commander position during a strafing and was "killed" making the gun sight the only available option for tank views, unless of course the guy was smart enough to dive into the hatch.
^^^^^ This and tanks killing airplanes are the two most gamey features, to me.
