It's the difference between gliding home and getting roasted alive in the cockpit if you don't bail out. Isn't that important?

That's exactly what I'm doing on another thread, although I'm starting with .50 caliber guns. It might sound like BS, but I'm getting some very interesting results. In particular, the US Navy fighters from Pacific Fighters have some strange wing breakage issues. It seems like you have to hit them in just the right spot to knock their wings off.

Yep, that's a problem. It should be possible, if difficult, to take the P-47's wing off. And, the FW-190 should be a bit more controllable if its wing is heavily damaged.

I chose the Betty for expediency, because it's the one flyable plane in the game that has a 20mm tail gun (at at least the first one that popped into my head).
