Well, with a 109 I try to get very close to Hurricanes and Spitfires in order to score as many cannon hits as possible since the recoil is shaking your plane and subsequently also your aim. From the direct 6 o´clock position you can shred of the tail, disable the elevator controls and the rudder controls. With shredded elevators, the target is most liekly doomed.
Most of the time I play on the receiving end in SPitfires and I see 109s opening up at a relatively moderate distance (200-300) at you. In the cockpit , one can see all the nice tracers passing you and often in these situations you´ll get soem wholes in the wings. SOmetimes it also shreds the controls in the wings.
Definte negative effect with hits i nthe wings is that it loses soem lift and your turning rate is increased, as well as the tendency to stall in a turn due to the additional energy loss due to the whole(s).
