I was flying one of the quick missions. My Hurricane collided in air with an enemy fighter and the whole nose part of the plane fell down (see the screenshot). Despite this huge crash it seems no damage was done to the pilot. I could fly normally, like engine switched off.

I would think:
-the pilot would be in pretty bad shape
-controlling the plane with such huge and heavy (the engine) piece missing would be very difficult

In a similar mid-air collision, but this time with my wingman, my Bf-109 lost its tail. You can see from screenshot's texts.
I was expecting the plane to become unflyable, that it would just dive towards the ground.
But instead I was able to control the plane pretty much normally: turn the plane horizontally and vertically.
