Army puke SFC Pilot	posted 05-21- 06:45 AM hmm, where shall i put this under... In one of the training missions with the Spitfire Mk1a of Plane pack 5.3b I deliberately cut down a radar tower, having half of the starboard wing sliced off. This is the funny part. I was able to fly the plane properly with 1/2 of the right wing missing with no assymetrical lift problems, and I landed safely with gear down and no other problems, aside from 1/2 of the wing missing. I then tried flying the Spitfire V and shearing off 1/2 of one wing, and I immediately lost control of the aircraft. ------------------------------- Test pilot update: score:-35000 and lots of friendly fire kills.

frenchie Cadet	posted 05-21- 10:12 AM Yes, same experience for me with the corsair... I was able to fly, and even to land with just one wing left!! IP: Logged
Tailslide Pilot	posted 05-23- 12:43 AM I saw an interesting story of a fellow in in the pacific that managed to shear off 3 to 4 feet off both wings by flying between palm trees.. he still brought his plane home and landed it. TS IP: Logged
Army puke SFC Pilot	posted 05-23- 04:44 AM I dived a B17 above max spd at 400 mph and the outer portions of both wings got torn off and I lost aileron control, but I landed safely using elevator and rudder control. IP: Logged
Spanky the Mad Dog Pilot	posted 05-23- 05:04 AM Spanky here.. Yeah some planes are a little too flyable after crazy damage. It will get better with each revision of the FM though. IP: Logged
Spyder Pilot	posted 05-23- 05:57 AM Ok.... I dived down over London at 900kph straight between two busty women, had a quick grope on my way past then went on to France and straffed 25 flak guns with only 2 303's blazing...I sank two ships by ramming my gear into their decks so hard they capsized then managed to knock off a V1 heading over the channel by wacking it one with my open canopy....on my return I did a loop with a half twist and sumersault and landed backwards...on one wheel..... but you try and tell the kids that today and they won't believe ya.... ------------------ IP: Logged
