>Were you supposed to announce which section of the plane got hit?
Yes, in short range fire you really LOOK where you hit. Some aces was so skilled that he CHOOSE WHERE to hit. MvR Richtofen aim the man, Fonck (it is said) aim for the engine. And when you shot a plane and it lost the upper wing well... you hit the upper wing!! That was the reason the "tracer" bullets were used for : to adjust fire (and flame fuel tank if u haven't incendiary). The question was that you weren't able to judge how much more damages a machine could suffer before have some structural failure.
In fact the board game ruleset talk about SECRET suffered damage. It will be even most important if the skymasters will implement the Special Damages.
