I dont feel to change anything in the game as i
enjoy to play it the way it is designed
i am not interested to add more complex parts to
the game or variations that were not part of the design...play the game with the options that were
presented and forget to try and redesign the game

some people dont like the "lucky hits" and there
is an option to not play with them
i think frankly that the "lucky hits" are
fairly important to the game as they most certainly DID happen

if you really want more realism...why not start
adding rules for reliability...such as the engine just stopping for no apparent reason, or
perhaps the wings come off during a maneuver,
maybe the control wires could snap and you must fly in one direction only...all of these things happened with alarming frequency and a lot of them resulted in death of the pilot...very real
but not much fun to play

i think what i am trying to say here...none of the ideas you presented are bad...perhaps you should write and debug the code for the changes you propose...the developers of the site already
have enough on their plates to devote time to new stuff like this
