Will the Modelling of Destroyed Aircraft in BoB be Improved Compared to il2?

but it might be that the tailless b17 was in the vertical, nose-down position only just at the time of the impact, maybe?

Sorry, I don't agree. If an aircraft looses it's tail section, the aerodynamic configuration of the aircraft is drastically changed.

It becomes 'nose heavy' to the extreme. And there is no elevator response possible.

The B-17 example I gave was witnessed by those on the ground. It was seen to fall vertically.

In other words, the aircraft in this situation becomes an 'arrow'.

This is just one point of view, if you don't consider the loss of stability. In some instance the object may remain stable and shoot into the ground - or a small disturbance can throw the aircraft into non-stable regime and crash just as it is simulated in Il2 and just as physical simulations show..
