What a hideous aircraft... nice 3D model, though :D

I guess all of the debugging is in the damage model? Should be interesting...

I personally would be interested in some sort of overview as to what the new damage modeling is going to be like.

If this question has been addressed already. could someone put up the link to the thread please.

my guess is that is a skid instead of using a tail wheel, don't know the technical terms for it.

It's a Deffelmeyer device.  The pilots (in keeping with clarity and brevity) called it what it does...a skid.
