A 109 is no Avenger.

I've seen that photo several times. But it looks that all the reports/pictures of "half a wing missing and flying straight" regard only a handful models of planes, namely heavy and stable ones (P47, TBD Avengers ...). I would be curious to know if swift & unstable planes (109, Spitfires, Hawker Hurricanes) would offer the same behavior, from an aerodynamic point of view. But this is a bit OT

S!

And this Avenger crashed into sea near the CV group because it could not land and it had been a handfull to fly. There is more to the story than just the pic

And even in pic you see the pilot is not sitting relaxed to keep the plane in control..lot of work as it seems to me.

Also it had tail damage, the rear part of the fuselage took a hit in the collision as well.

I think that this kind of stuff might happen, but it should never be as common as you can see it now in CoD.

Mind that you can see this kind of stuff in ROF too, Camels or Dr.Is flying with just two half-wings and such, apparently there's sometimes a discrepancy between the real damage of the plane and the actual representation on the plane's 3D model...

Just to break this negative mood, I'll open a thread about "what I like the most in CloD".

With my superior wisdom I predict a vast amount of irony and sarcasm followed by bellows of "fanboi" and "whiner"... Let's hope I am wrong

No, if mods will delete the OTs - doing the job they are paid for (paid with our appreciation, I mean ...

)

Hurricane swift and unstable? Not any I've ever flew in IL2 or Cliffs.

But I admit, it's been a while.

Hurricanes are about as rock solid as they come, loose most of a wing in a spit and your hitting the silk, in a hurricane i think its probably with good pilot skill able to get back under some form of stable control to at least climb to bail if needed.
I've had it happen online about 5 times and every time I've made it abck to base.

Shame it always gets blown off in the same point though. I though damage was real time?
