Happen to me in AH1, but in two cases it was a P-38. The 38 was stripped of all but it's center fuselage, and wings up t o the engine nacells, which both appeared to be spouting oil and just about everything else.
I had an event like this myself where the roles were reversed. I was in a P-47 Vulching a field when I obviously experienced some bad lag. Everyone else disapeared and I flew on as though noghing was hte matter, depsite hearing pings left and right.
