However about your quote, i can answer this to you: i've seen (thank to an italian "KIA body pilots recovery association") what did happen when a fighter crashed in my area (around Bologna where we did have a lot of dogfights in WW2). There was a sort of "drill engine effect" when an aicraft crashed from high altitude. Wings were cut off but engine, pilot, and fuselage did penetrate terrain for some meters (this was due probably also to the farmland terrain). We'll see it in SoW? I doubt it....it would be really too much. Realistic in a flight sim, is always an hard and questionable statement to say.
My father was examining magistrate during his service time.
He had two fatal aircraft crashes(both) were venoms if I remember correctly.
Sure those are jets, therefore a little faster than ww2 fighters.

But: The largest piece of the aircraft the could find was about 60cm, they found it 1m under surface (alpine meadow)
They remains of the pilot were collected in minigrips...


Back to the question: What are you asking for? Pieces dug deep in the soil?
