Default TD please recheck G Limits of all aircraft in 4.10

Somethings is fundamentally wrong here...

According to a quick test I just did:
(tested in QMB with full realism except for cockpit and speedbar, all aircraft with 50% fuel and default loadout, i.e. no bombs or rockets)


F6F-5 1944

In Service Design Load: 7.6G (G icon turns red @ 5.7G, exactly at 25% as stated in readme, @ 7.6G airframe starts to bend/rivets pop etc with damage sound exactly as stated in readme)
Ultimate Load: 11.4G (wing/tail etc shear off at 1.5 factor, exactly as stated in read me).


But its historical enemy:


A6M5b 1944

In Service Design Load: 9.0G (G icon turns red @ 6.8G, exactly at 25% as stated in readme, @ 9.0G airframe starts to bend/rivets pop etc with damage sound exactly as stated in readme)
Ultimate Load: 13.5G (wing/tail etc shear off at 1.5 factor, exactly as stated in read me).


Something is fundamentally wrong with the G Limits of these two aircraft, the A6M5b is way too strong and the F6F is way too weak... not living up to its name as the "Iron Works"...
Don't know about the Zero limits, but I am absolutely sure that F6Fs didn't take airframe stress damages during instantaneous maneuvers @ 7.6Gs, and willing to bet money that the Iron Works didn't fall apart @ 11.4Gs.

Please recheck G Limits of all aircraft.
