Wouldn't it be sweet if you could see the damage on a vehicle when it gets shot? i.e.

Tiger jet flies around and gets shot by a rocket or two

The Tiger jets health is in yellow and you see the engine smoking, and maybe some bullet holes on the left wing

The tiger jets health is in red, the engine is making thick smoke, a wing is damaged and the other wings on fire.

That would be pretty graphic. But it would be hard to make on infantry.

But the noticeable damage should effect the player face sprite, the more you get shot, the more you begin to look like a raw hamburger, so you dont see Ash's eyes looking back and forth after your dead.

Or maybe something else, rather than re drawing every single sprite, maybe a damaged unit would have sprites that look like smoke. its frames would make the smoke look like its fading away and then the sprite dissapears after its last frame. That would work out pretty nice.

Well its not a problem to add support for a wasted sprite (say < 50% health), I won't be able to draw many though.

i could draw a smoke sprite and of course it wont be like an 80x80 pixel sprite, it will probably be around 15x15, Im pictureing it right now, a stoo tank driving around with small dots of smoke coming out. I think ill get to drawing the sprite right now.
