Wings coming off every time when a fuel tank ignites? This is the most common method of bomber destruction and it's quite silly. A bombers wing does would not come off like that and I've never read a combat report citing disintegration of any of the 3 bomber aircraft. This needs to be fixed... but I'm guessing nothing will happen until we have to cash out more hard earned $ on BOM.

It would be very interesting to know the source of your knowledge regarding the stability of burning bomber wings.

I know for sure that high temperatures, and a fuel fire in a 220 mph slipstream is hot, will destroy the structural integrity of duraluminium really fast.

I have to concur that the process of loosing the wing should look different, like folding back at the weakened point and then ripping off i.e.

It is a fact however that aircrews did leave their planes in a hurry, if a fire wasn't extinguished really fast.

Usually a fighter pilot didn't have the time to watch the end of his target longer than a few seconds.
