I am thinking that something must be wrong with certain flight models.

Actually, aircraft that fly with a vertical stabilizer can still fly without it, but at a loss of longitudinal stability, and at greater risk of entering - and staying in - a flat spin in some conditions. An aircraft just doesn't fall out of the sky just because it lost it's vertical tail.

Now, if an aircraft loses it's entire elevator control or a wing...

yeah it would fall out of the sky if taking out the elevation controls or the wing and it would fall out of the sky

Could we see some work-in-progress screenshots of the new maps? Tunisia, maybe?

Thank you for the Beaufort!! To those unfamiliar with the operational service of this aircraft, I heartily recommend autobiographical books "Torpedo Leader on Malta" and "Not Peace But A Sword" by Patrick Gibbs, also "Torpedo Airmen" by Roy C. Nesbit.
Now we only need a Malta map

Yeah, the Beaufort looks great, it comes as a nice surprise.

Thank you.

Regarding the 'shared kill' features, does this also mean that aircraft attacked by AA fire previous to the player attacking it will now share the kill?
I've lost count of the aircraft I have shot down but got 0 points for as unknown to me, before I attacked the e/a it had been damaged (no matter how small the damage) and anything I did wouldn't be counted as the AA always 'steal' the kill.

Has it been possible to fix this?

Cheers, MP

Wow, a Beaufort! Tremendous news.
