How many flights do you think those 23,000 spits did during the war, no idea but easily in the millions. How many of those accidents were in training units again no idea but safe to assume a good proportion of the pilot error ones.

And you want to build something into the game to take the wings off in a tight pull up.

If you do this can we assume that you will agree to similar factors into the 109F and 109G both of which had serious issues with wing failure
As i've posted quite a few times, i want the documented quirks of all planes reproduced as close as possible.

And yes, i want the pilots in CoD also to heed the warnings of the pilots notes and fly accordingly.

In most planes it was nearly impossible for the pilot to reach the structural limit without trim, not so in the Spitfire, there it was comparatively easy to do that.
