Today I was flying offline on the Fokker Dr.1 and got hit by the ack. Lost my left middle wing, left horizontal stabilizer/elevator, and the vertical stabilizer/rudder. Not only I was able to continue flying after that but was also able to turn and maneuver.
Have the video if needed.

I would think that it isn't that impossible to fly without a vertical stabilizer, as these engines aren't nearly as strong as the WWII engines, combined with that gyroscopic effect and the fact that the fuselage adds stability in the yaw axis. I did the same thing in a F.2B and had horrible yawing with each pitch correction, like in the Camel, but worse.

WWI planes are light, and have a heavy engine with a lot of torque. That's impossible.
