I've taken 3 hits from an Ostwind and landed once in an Il-2.
First hit did no damage, second one took out a flap, and the third got half of the other wing. Since now only the flap on the damaged wing was working it gave additional lift to make the plane flyable.
Had this happen the other day. CV ack takes a piece of the wing off. Trying to stay in the air, I drop flaps. Second hit takes out radiator. Third hit takes out flap on good wing. Landed safelly.
