... and then there's always the Skyraider. I hear that's quite capable of flying with less than a full compliment of wing span, particularly after bumping into other planes.

Yes planes can just about fly with part of the wing missing, but not as much as in that screenshot. The only way that Hurri would go is down.
So,I assume the DM for the wing is similar to the way it is in RoF, it shows more visual damage than it actually has.
Anyway, its nothing to argue about. Maybe its not a bug, its a feature.

Any aircraft with piston engine and propeller with more than 45% of the wing boots could return to stabilize the flight, and less in the 1940s! If tell me two decades after the 1960s, I'd even say that it happens, but in these times that almost all systems of transmission of the plane were made for cable, the touch of the engine would take to the floor...


and it is not worth putting the video of the F-15 or the SKIRIDER crashed the other day in England, since that had less than 25% of the separated wing plane... sorry to disappoint you, but this is a mistake of the FM.


Best regards

As others have said, there are examples where different aircraft have suffered similar damage but still being flyable and landable.
Is there something special that makes a Hurricane unable to do it?
If I had been close to land I would possibly have been able to land it.

I have heard the story about a pilot of a TBF who make it with the half of a wing like it.

The complete story is in this free online book at the page 61 with a photo.

A TBF wing structure is vastly different to a Hurricanes.
