Wing Commander IV dropped the traditional attaboy landing cutscenes but it did have visible damage states in its gameflow screens after a mission. Here's a little post with all of the ships!
The Banshee:
The Vindicator, which was always one of my favorites to fly. Jack of all trades, master of none!
The Avenger bomber, the great flying brick:
Here’s a Bearcat in various states of disrepair!
The fearsome Lance (aka Dragon). I don't think I've ever suffered enough damage flying one to get either of the non-pristine versions after a mission!
And here's one of those great Chris Roberts touches: there are damage states for the Hellcat even though you can only see it landed on the Intrepid once (after you defect).
The Lexington fighters have damage states, too! Here's the Hellcat:
... and the Longbow!
And a couple of special cases: Bluepoint Station, both carriers without a fighter present and a shuttle on the Lexington which displays at the start of the game and after Captain Paulsen arrives.
