Salute Avimimus
I think you might find that even in 1942, the Spit V's can take off a wing with a single burst. The 190A4's can do the same even easier. Even in 1940, the 109E4 can dewing pretty much any aircraft with a two second shot placed accurately. And the aircraft with a 20mm in hte nose, like the F4's and Yaks are pretty powerful too. Unless you are flying 109F2's versus MiG-3's it is a dangerous world...
Are you the Avimimus who used to build COOP missions?
In any case, if you are looking for a 1942 enviroment to fly for the next 6-8 weeks, RAF74 is holding an online COOP campaign entitled OPERATION JUBILEE, re-enacting the Dieppe Raid, and we are welcoming individuals and smaller Squads to participate. At the moment, besides RAF74, we have II/JG1, WingWalkers, Redwulf and 2Gvsap. There is room on the Allied and German sides.
