Ok, first lemme just say that WOFF (fun to say out loud, by the way) is hands-down the most in depth WWI sim I have ever played. Bought the game, the skins, the music, all of it.
However (you knew this was coming)...I still seem to have that aileron damage bug from Phase 2 and 3. It seems that no matter what, if I take ANY damage, my aileron authority gets cut in half. I realize that the top of the wings are a BIG target, but it doesn't seem right that the ailerons go out every time. I just hear that "thud" of a bullet strike and I know that my maneuverability is gone. Is anyone else seeing this? Or have I lost my mind (entirely plausible).
And yes, I know the rule is "then just don't get shot!"
"Only an alert and knowledgeable citizenry can compel the proper meshing of the huge industrial and military machinery of defense with our peaceful methods and goals, so that security and liberty may prosper together."

Less accurate guns is what I use. Is this setting more historically accurate gameplay?

You can still hit stuff from 200m or more that way, but not very effectively. Better to shoot from 50m or less just like the real pilots preferred. This topic should have its own thread. The aileron damage is definitely not a bug, and it doesn't happen every time I take hits. I really seems to depend on where I'm hit. I've seen damage to my wing tip and my roll rate is slowed a bit. If I have bullet strikes further inside my wing my roll rate is almost gone. Is there a similar reduction in control authority for the elevator or rudder? I have not encountered it yet.
