Pursuivant,
One question.
While doing your tests, did you ever see a damage caused by the projectile which MISSED target aircraft?
I recall one "theory" about fragility or P-38 in IL2: allegedly, the whole space between fuselage, tail beams and stabiliser was included in damage model.
It was difficult to prove, obviously.
