Default I survived! :)
At least until the swim...

The plane was nearly upside down when I collided with fat slow He 115, it took half my left wing with it into the sea.
A few seconds of doubt followed, but I managed to level out and climb to a safe jumping altitude, I was far from the shore however.



Experiences like this is one of the really great things about IL-2

Have you put this in the bug thread? I don't think a Hurricane would be able to do anything with that much wing missing.

I've lost a bunch of wing in a 109 before, but had enough speed that if I cranked the ailerons and rudder all the way to the side I could stop the roll long enough to bail out.

If he was quick and had enough speed he could probably get the nose upwards. You'd be surprised how low you can bail out and survive in this game.

Depends on speed but he would need to be in a jet like an F-104 Starfighter

Sounds like a bug to me. Unless the devs are using the same system as the RoF team,with visual damage not always matching up with actual damage?

It's possible.
I have heard the story about a pilot of a TBF who make it with the half of a wing like it.

The complete story is in this free online book at the page 61 with a photo.
