I'll resume 3 sorties flying Ta to you:
First:
Close dogfight against a Spit at lo level, fighting mainly in the vertical plane. Very good handling and no problems detected.
Second:
Close dogfight against a Tempest at lo level. After first pass, wingtips broken performing a smooth climb, no structural sounds present, no blackout, but both wingtips gone. Aircraft still under control whithout ailerons using only power changes and rudder.
Third:
B17 sighted low, smooth dive, guns'n boom, vertical zoom to recover initial alt with no problems.
Second B17 sighted higher. Diving a bit to speed up and vertical zoom HOing the B17 from a lower position. Guns'n boom and leveling at 10k.
Third B17 sighted low, diving on it performing a spiral. Guns'n boom and zoom to 10k.
Dot sighted at BVR limit taking off. Flying toward it at 10k and then smooth dive. Dot Identifying it as 190 flying at about 5k breaking left. Smooth recovery for alt and setup the attack and both wingtips gone again, Ta on fire also. The 190 pilot was really puzzled asking me on ch 1 what the hell happened to the Ta. In this case, again, no blackout and no structural sounds during the wide open loop maneouver and wingtips gone at the first quarter of the loop.
IMO, this structural weakeness point should be revised, mostly because sometimes the result of "hard" moves is just a clean maneouver, and sometimes the result of "soft" moves is just wings out and wings out and fire.
