The damge shown is imperfect, a structural failure that gives the impression that a wing was torn away?

Why in CloD does this not happen and looking at the wing which has snapped, eveyrthing is perfectly cut?

For the Spitfire at least the straight lines correspond to the cutout for the aileron and at the end the attachment point for the wing tip. The major section accross the wing looks torn to me, though it may look better trailing so wires or cables.

The Stuka has lost it's elevator and the Horizontal stablizer would only need twisted hinges to look ok for that sort of damage. Once again the wing damage looks like the straight line match up with pannel lines.

As for the Hurricane the wing seems to be lost along an attachment point, though in a perfect world there should be some deformation where the wing was ripped from the plane. Not bad modeling of stuctures if you ask me!




Cheers!
