I can't really recall how severe it was compared to now, but I've inadvertently ripped a few ailerons (or more) off in the Las while trying to follow a German fighter diving away - at around 650km/h (for the early LaGG-3 at least iirc), you don't really get a whole lot of leeway to chase down something before you're forced to call it quits.
