British FM killing the fun of the game for allied pilots.

The 109 pilot needs high speed and trim to break his plane with the elevators.

Just to keep it simple.

How many Spitfires actually broke up in flight during the battle of Britain/ Documentary/damming evidence please (considering you want up to 80% of Spitfires to fall apart)?

Just for interest I'm going to post Bf 110 losses due to break up or other, mainly unknown, causes between July and December 1940:









According to Robtek in gameplay the wings should be theoretically ripped off Spitfires at least 80% of the time, with no empirical evidence that this actually happened in real life http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showpos...&postcount=609.

So why not extend that type of thinking to other aircraft types, such as the Bf 110? Why not conclude that a large percentage of 110s lost in unknown circumstances were lost because of elevator failure due to mishandling? It could also be asked why did the 110 lose its right wing on the 18th of July? How many Bf 110s lost their wings, but were counted as lost due to unknown causes? Yes, let's make it simple and assume that at least 80% of Spitfires and Bf 110s will break up due to abuse of the elevators.
