Yup, Hitech says they TRY, but as this is a computer game it is NOT real life. You can only go so far....at this time anyway with how close you can get to that reality.

The point is the damage model does NOT accurately model the WWII equipment. 

Well, once upon a time there was the "hit bubble"...who knows what the future holds?

WHAT difference does it make what the fire on a burning plane looks  like-the planes on fire--it's going down-the fight's over-done -kaput....you think real pilot's cared what the fire on their burning plane looked like.

Yes, I do actually at least to the point the pilot would be concerned about WHAT was burning.  If it's an engine fire you might be able to fix it, if it's the entire bomb bay on my B-24 burning due to a fuel leak I'd know to get out.
