I've always pondered about a tactical overlay in the corner of the screen visually displaying the angle of your guns in relation to 0 degrees. To clarify what I mean, perhaps simply a front view of the ship, with the guns barrel elevation animated according to your current setting of angle. This would purely be for quicker estimation of the angle to fire with AA at planes near and far, etc. Also, colored damage indicators according to what type of armor you hit, would be nice. Grey for Belt, Red for Deck, etc.
Also, I've been meaning to ask about the inclusion of armor erosion. Is it currently included in the game? Armor Erosion referring to pieces of armor being damaged / destroyed by HE fire over time, regardless of shell size. It would not directly damage the ship unless it pierced the armor, of course. But there are many ships that 'armor whore', and the inclusion of the ability to damage and ultimately destroy the armor of enemy ships would serve toward realism, as well as keeping the game interesting.
