they have the proper concept, which is very good.
Well, if some of the struts and wires are shot out, then I definitely think there should be crumpling, if a plane tries to do a tight turn in a structurally weakened state. I don't think there was much structural redundancy in those light-weight fighters. But, you're right, it should mainly be reserved for planes that fly too fast and then pull out. The other cases should be rare... - but the more spectacular they will be then!

Interesting question about 6DOF, I'd like to know as well!
