I didnt experience that with hurri, but on 109 is very hard go back home.
It is easy to balance plane with rudder, but you lose to much lift.

My 2 cents:

If you pause at 0:47 you can see full aileron deflection, and at 0:39, the slip indicates full rudder.

It's important to remember that the A5M is extremely light with moderately large control surfaces. It's not 1 and 1/2 wings that it's flying on, but closer to 1 3/4 or even 1 4/5 (look at the break-point and realize that the eliptical shape of the wings means that a length of the tip has much less area than an equal length at another part of the wing.)

The upturned bit of metal at the leading edge probably contributed a great deal to its stability.

That's not to say that flying with this much damage isn't possible....It just takes a variety of specific circumstances to come together perfectly. Think of all the pilots who lost that much wing area and didn't make it back. Those are the ones that never appear in films.

Compare this to the Hurricane screenshot:

1) clean break of the wing. No protruding bits to influence roll.

2) Ailerons are small, and roll authority is sub-par to begin with, especially compared to the A5M

3) Considerably greater area of the wing is lost, including the entire right aileron (The A5M still had 1/2 of its left aileron).

4) Hurricane has no rudder or even fin left.

Conclusion: Hurricane should not be flying straight and level.

Topgum, that is sorta true, some aircraft did manage to get back to base with half a wing sawn off, because most of the lift was towards the center, but I agree in that it should still not be flying aswell as it is.

I am not a good pilot and I can routinely land a hurricane with no wingtip or about 40% of the wing gone. You dont even seem to need full rudder trim.

The devs are working on it currently. This shouldn't happen again with the reworked FM

Aircraft type Bf 109 E1/2/3/4
System Affected rediators operating handle, landing flaps operating handle,
Description of the problem (I might be wrong!!!) The "hanldes" for open/close water radiator and landing flaps are actuality a wheels! If we set them to an axis (i have mine on X52 Pro) they are not properly working. The game react/accept the axis only on 0 or 100%. which means the axis is working as a button. We are not able to set the axis to 50% and then the radiator or the flaps are to be set also on 50%.
p.s. i have create a new profile so i am shoore that there is not overlaping of button and axis for this functions!
Adding a noise filter on the axes is needed, while we have full realism with antromorph on
