...though well known to most.

Luftwaffe damage system:

100% Total Loss

60-90% A/C to be used for spares

45-59% Heavy Damage - replacement of major parts

40-44% Damaged a/c - replacement of Engine(s) or systems

25-39% Damage which in general can be repaired at unit level

10-24% "Medium" combat damage - requiring little repair

< 10% Little combat damage - ground crew

Rough translation...
