As per the title really, I’ve noticed in game that you can have half of your elevator ripped off for almost zero effect on your flight performance.
A 109F with only half of its elevator remaining will still out turn an La-5, my Yak 9K with one black elevator could still somehow turn competitively as well, this is in SB mode with no instructor etc.
Having only one half of your elevator working should not only massively affect your aircraft’s ability to pitch but it should also induce quite a bit of instability to your aircraft as well. Instead it feels like you only lose 10% of your ability to pull whilst the aircraft still flies straight and true.
