As to "single bullet" damage to wings not being a factor for "red" planes, I guess you don't fly Yaks much huh?
One hit to the wing and you are combat ineffective.
All this Blue vs. Red whining is just a smokescreen by the whiners on both sides. It isn't about historic performance, it's about the points online.
Be sure.
