In the G limit routine each aircraft has its own unique profile.

You are right. Sorry my previous post not correct. I was agree, 10G structure is 10G structure and you are right about failure mode. I don't know how it working in game, but if we are looking in the "Resistance of materials" theory wood was quickly fatigue like aviation aluminum. And if in game was used that info, 10G wood construction must be broken faster like metal 10G structure. For example, 10G wood plane doing 4 over limit turns, but 10G full metal plane 5 or 6. That was took in game more realism.
But of course game is game. I was watching on youtoobe.com WW2 documentary movie about B-17. One of them have a very heavy damaged tail, but crew return to base and successfully landing. In comments was written "thats gays is lucky", but this not a luck, This is, How to the "Resistance of materials" theory work in real life. If B-17 has a wood structure they doesn't be so lucky.
