I was thee was "no damage list".
There will always be visual info, even more so in AH2 with the oil, blood, bullet hole etc...
You can visually see aileron / flap damage as well.
Gun damage can be seen by which guns fire.
Gear damage can be reflected in the gear indicator lights, elevator / rudder damage can be detected by feel.
So what do we need a damage list for?
Mostly to to prevent the inevitable whines "I took 1 ping and my plane would not pull up, I asked another player and he said I looked fine, the AH dm is BS!!!"
But apart from getting rid of it putting on a clipboard fold out wing so it takes your attention away from whats going on outside is better then having a damage "hud".
