Do aircraft break up in QC?

[Hauksbee]

Just finished wringing out a Sopwith Pup chasing a gaggle of D.II's. Frequently, well...constantly, I had warnings on screen about exceeding design limits. But the bad news never came to pass. I've had similar with DH-2's and E.III's. I've read of many wing failures by others [i assume they're flying real missions] but I've yet to experience it. Is it just a matter of time or am I safe in QC?

QC is exactly the same as campaign from that point of view. Many wing failures? Oldham seems to be having a problem but not seen mass reports of wing failures.

Try an Alb DIII early, dive to 180 pull up at 80 degrees or so. Repeat, about 3 or 4 later you should lose one..

That's a jinx, or how you call that - I have the wing failures Hauksbee doesn't get.

That's not fair!!!

 

PS: I flew much more careful today and brought the lady home in one piece.

Damn hard, to let them SPADs dive away, and not to follow!

Well done Oldham. Yeah that's the main disadvantage of the Albs not good to dive with. Especially not good to dive after a SPAD one of the finest fastest diving machines :)

Well...there you have it: 'God on our side...' and all that sort of thing.

Maybe Olham’s problem can be traced back to the manufacturer. Some sort of QC issue.

 

Or worse, maybe you have a saboteur in your Jasta!
