Anyone noticed an increase in the auto-jettison wing feature?

Ive gone about 6 months without losing any wings on any plane and the past few weeks Ive lost about half a dozen sorties in P51Ds due to this occurance.  Some squaddies have also had unusual wing jettison events very recently.

Remember when the P51D would shed wings at precisely 8 Gs

Those were the days  HEHEHEHE

Relax, its just a game.

I lost wings once after 1.09 was released. They seem to stay on ok now.

It's the 190 on your 6 that makes you lose your pesky Pony wing :D

Pretty much like a lsightly more durable TA152 I guess, fuel in wings makes em rip alot easier, fly a fully fueled TA152 and pull 1.2g's an the wings are gone ;) (hehe, NOT at all an overstatement) ;)

I wouldn't know... I've been converted to LW, and eagerly await my Leather pants, and leather chute.

Real life P51 shed wings more often than you think.

If you have Puny on your 6 just make him push some negative Gs and watch his wings go Bye-Bye :)
