When i examined the long list of possible damage on planes (Cntrl-D), i was a bit surprised to see the radio equipment was overlooked. That's strange because in this era, there was no redundancy in radio equipment on airplanes. The antennae were also extremely vunerable to damage. I can hardly imagine anything MORE disturbing to a combat pilot than having his radio shot out. Especially if he had vital information (like an enemy CV sighting) to pass on to his country, or, God forbid he's in a dogfight when it happens. Without a radio he'd have to fly all the way back to a base to make a report, or disengage from a dogfight. Yet this reality is not reflected in the game.
