The pilot starts to suffer from g's at about 4g. Typical fighter air frames can take 8g without problem. However, humans can take very high g loads without problem if they occur over a short time, while the airframe can't. It's the same in game. If you're in a sustained manoeuvre you won't damage the airframe, the pilot will grey out, black out or red out long before damage occurs, however, if you throw the plane into a sudden manoeuvre, it may break before you get the visual clues. This is right because the body won't show a reaction within a split second.
