You mean the asymetrical retraction of the landing gear? Probably intentional and historically correct. Don't know for Hurri+Tempest, but for Fw I'm 95% sure, and AFAIR also Zero and Bf109.

Yes, seems to be so:

No, he's talking about the clipping. Part of the gear (actuator) pokes through the wings briefly during the up/down animation.

The bug it is outside of the cockpit in the wings

That's right

There's quite a few aircraft with those clipping issues with the landing gear.

Also the see through wings at wind angles is an age old problem. When asked about it years ago, Oleg said it wasn't an easily solvable issue. Something to do with the graphics engine. It's not aircraft specific although its certainly worse or more visible on some than others.

Missing mirror? on p51c and mustangIII

Here is a bug that appears when the wings of p51b are hit

There is a problem with the fuel loading on the Mustang. This I believe effects the CG and causes bad handling. In practice the 85 gal tank behind the pilot was used first, if it was loaded at all. Only on long missions was it used, then pilots switched to it after take off, to burn it down before switching to drops if used. In this game fuel is loaded into rear tank first and the handling shows it as it would in real life. This should be changed to make this airplane handle like it would if properly loaded.
This is my first post since this game came out.

IL2 is AFAIK incapable of shifting CoG. And as this was asked for before at least n-times and has not been changed since, I would assume its not easily fixable.

That aside, Mustang handles quite okay when not selecting full fuel load and has still enough left to stay in the fight for quite some time. And then it behaves okay, and boy it is fast. If it only were armed with Hispanos...

Yep! We all have to remember that the fuel gauge isn't real and it doesn't represent fuel tanks that are full or empty individually. Just one big tank really.

A Mustang Mark IA with the four 20mm Hispano cannons would be a nice addition (and a P-51A and a A-36 Apache ).
