I saw one 47 where he lost 1 of his horizontal stabalizer after hitting a chimney and making it back. another with 2 30mm holes in each wing,as well as multiple 13mm hits along the fuelsalage behind the pilot. I guess once the bastage used up his 30mm on the poor juggy he decided only the pilot was vulnerable  :airplane:

A single hit of a 7.62/7.7/7.92 mm poop gun is enough to bring down every aircraft ...... if it hits in the right spot (pilot, engine, important control mechanism/cable).
Every side had aircraft limping home riddled with bullets, big holes everywhere, etc.

I don't have a way to do so right now, Scherf.  I'll see what I can manage.

No worries Karnak, thanks. Can you tell me the markings? I think it was DM-Z, but I don't know the serial.
... missions were to be met by the commitment of alerted swarms of fighters, composed of Me 109's and Fw 190's, that were strategically based to protect industrial installations. The inferior capabilities of these fighters against the Mosquitoes made this a hopeless and uneconomical effort. 1.JD KTB

Real life has nothing to do with the in-game damage model. One 7.92 round could hit a cable, wound the pilot or make you bleeding oil/water yet even a tater could be next to useless against the Hurricane's canvas rear fuselage (just flying through it).
If im right, in AH every part of the plane has damage points to bleed. Its an 1999 mechanism tho...
The real jugs were very strong structurally yet they had vulnerable spots too.
