Some of you seem very sure that the Hurri couldn't be flying like that, but without anything to back it up I'd say it's as likely that it could given the fact that other aircraft can fly with even more of a wing broken off.

I think it all depends on the situation, but most pilots initial reactions would probably be to bail out if they saw that type of damage. But yeah, on the other hand there's tons of reports of planes flying home and safely landing missing parts or all of one of their wings. The A10, for example, has wings just so it can have more weapons

LMAO I love that aircraft really need to get the game at some point.

Yeah im pretty sure this is a bug.. There was a bug similair to this that was fixed before in one of the patches.. I dont remember what plane .. but sometimes the back end of the plane would come off and still fly like normal. So its more likely a glitch/bug with the damage model not equaling up with the visual damage.

You play with the hand you're dealt...
Of all the aerial mishaps that have occurred during the history of flight, there have been plenty of miracles... And I ain't the religious type, believe me...

TBH you cannot compare these... the F15 has a flat bottom and so the whole aircraft acts like a wing when the speed is high, if it had a round fuselage then it would have dropped like a giant metal stone.
