As others have said, there are examples where different aircraft have suffered similar damage but still being flyable and landable.
Is there something special that makes a Hurricane unable to do it?
If I had been close to land I would possibly have been able to land it.

... and then there's always the Skyraider. I hear that's quite capable of flying with less than a full compliment of wing span, particularly after bumping into other planes.

Yes planes can just about fly with part of the wing missing, but not as much as in that screenshot. The only way that Hurri would go is down.
So,I assume the DM for the wing is similar to the way it is in RoF, it shows more visual damage than it actually has.
Anyway, its nothing to argue about. Maybe its not a bug, its a feature.

Some of you seem very sure that the Hurri couldn't be flying like that, but without anything to back it up I'd say it's as likely that it could given the fact that other aircraft can fly with even more of a wing broken off.

I think it all depends on the situation, but most pilots initial reactions would probably be to bail out if they saw that type of damage. But yeah, on the other hand there's tons of reports of planes flying home and safely landing missing parts or all of one of their wings. The A10, for example, has wings just so it can have more weapons

TBH you cannot compare these... the F15 has a flat bottom and so the whole aircraft acts like a wing when the speed is high, if it had a round fuselage then it would have dropped like a giant metal stone.

LMAO I love that aircraft really need to get the game at some point.

Yeah im pretty sure this is a bug.. There was a bug similair to this that was fixed before in one of the patches.. I dont remember what plane .. but sometimes the back end of the plane would come off and still fly like normal. So its more likely a glitch/bug with the damage model not equaling up with the visual damage.

Any aircraft with piston engine and propeller with more than 45% of the wing boots could return to stabilize the flight, and less in the 1940s! If tell me two decades after the 1960s, I'd even say that it happens, but in these times that almost all systems of transmission of the plane were made for cable, the touch of the engine would take to the floor...

and it is not worth putting the video of the F-15 or the SKIRIDER crashed the other day in England, since that had less than 25% of the separated wing plane... sorry to disappoint you, but this is a mistake of the FM.

Best regards
