Is it just me or have there been an overabundance of whines about wings for various planes recently? Perhaps something really IS wrong for once... Now that I have thoroughly wasted your time, feel free to move on muttering curses about "n00bs" and "Sqeakers" under your breath...

You know when my wings fall off?

When someone shoots it off!
If these people do not have film PROVING that ANOTHER plane was not behind them, then ill worry about wings snaping off.

As it is now, im willing to bet fifty bucks these people didnt have a clue someone else was on there six hammering down.


Sheesh.

Ripped both wings off of a P-38 the other day.  But I know why and it wasn't totally unexpected.

Kind of a suprise, but not unexpected.

A first! For the first time EVER, I ripped both wings off of my Bf-109 G-6 in the Training Arena practicing head-on passes. I pulled up out of a 500mph dive and they popped right off.

I poped a half a wing off in the DA the other day. I was at about 6k WEPing it when I pulled up for the duel and pop. I hit CRL D and saw I was missing it. It was the first time Iv ever riped wings off a 109, and Iv hit 500+ in a dive and had to use trip to get out. Even then I didnt even hear the "strain" sound.

Same here! I didnt hear strain when it ripped either! Perhaps there really IS something to these wing complaints?
