this is one of those annoyances which is small enough that you usually forget 10 seconds later, but it constantly comes back to annoy again.
i get that when you aren't directly looking at the building, then you don't see the health bar - we don't want health bar's cluttering the screen. however, sometimes if there's a partial obstruction; it seemingly hides the health bar altogether even when you're clearly looking at the structure (hitting it with spikes etc). a simple fix could be to show the health bar for 1-2 seconds after you've dealt damage to it, whether or not it's in your line of sight.
another issue is with the positioning of the health bar sometimes being off screen. for example if you're a shorty skulk or lerk hitting a phase gate, you have to look up almost 90 degrees to see the health bar.
