It is possible to land with 3/4 of a wing lost;





It was not very easy to fly a lot of rudder action and the landing was acrobatic, but sucesful.... pilot

Love that damage modelling... oh, and good flying too! I would have bailed!

Probably that piece would have been the only thing left of me, if I tried that stunt...

I don't believe that the model could be correct if that can fly.
It should be standing on its right wing and sliding downward, and
I can't believe there would be enough airfoil authority to achieve
anything like level flight.

All you write is possible but it is a "game" and the fact it is possible prove it is fun to play! pilot

I have part of the mission on track to prove it

Indicates that a lot of the 'damage modelling' is visual and not reflected in the flight model.
I'm sure it did fly...but it shouldn't have. smile

But the visuals are good - I was going to say there should be a wing spar running out of that damaged wing, and a failure of the spar should have caused the wing to fail, but actually it looks right
This article shows the Hurrican wing construction, matches CloD.

Cheers
Keith

That hurri is missing probably one or 2 feet to be able to stay airborne if it was a real aircraft, but don't even think of landing.

This is a game and I found it very trying and funny to land in this crippled plane but in real live I should have tryed to gain the firm ground and jump. The parachute is a safe way to land a damaged plane not always. But this is not real live! pilot
