only the very early typhoons and prototypes, they strengthened the tail and they had no probs after that.

look on this picture, just infront of the tail you can see the strengthening bars that keep the tail attached to the fuselage ;)

If I remember correctly, later Tiffies were fitted with a Tempest tail also.

Hope it's due out soon. 190's are nearly impossible to pull any G's in. :(

See guys.

Nothing to worry about.

Kinda like the early 109Fs were losing tails and wings.  Early P51Bs having motor mounts fail, etc etc.

Growing pains :)

HT, Pyro ... please tell us what "back to normal" means in this case? Will overstress be taken out or adjusted to more appropriate settings?

Normal means they work at appropriate levels.

I am having some wing rip problems with the 190A8 also.

I hope the A8 will also be looked at in the next patch :)

All in all AH2 rocks, keep up the good work :aok
