Planes falling out of the sky after one piece is shot off.

Im having this alot particularly with bombers. A small piece gets blown off then it starts falling, not able to pull up even with controls and wings still intact.

    lands with no fuel or weapons:

    I think that the entire wing (if it was the part) was shot, you couldn’t operate the control surfaces. And that less lift was generated by the wing.
    .
    If it were a fuselage body, some part with a heavy load (I.e lots of fuel or dead weight) would result in a loss of balance.
    .
    If it were an engine, specifically a prop, then getting the prop shot off would throw the plane in a spin that can’t be controlled.
    .
    If none of the three, then some reality bending entities are messing with you

    I feel like having the ENTIRE part explode is a bit much. I know that this would be very difficult to do, but making the part explode in pieces would be nice. If that's too hard (It is) they could at least get rid of the explosion spreading to other parts of the plane, and for parts with fuel, they should only be set on fire by the explosion, possibly burning down until they fall off, or just disintegrate, but an explosion is a bit much. Engines can explode, that's fun, but fuselages shouldnt. It would be cool to have a fire spread through the plane instead of, "Hey, your center tank got hit? Heh, three two one, and boom! Say goodbye to both wings!" Missiles and bombs should definitely destroy the plane when hit, and a jammed gun should make a small explosion if tried to fire.

    @JangoTheMango That was before the damage update

    I’m so non-motivated about my two new builds, that I almost wish I’d never made the teasers.

    Well, this is SimplePlanes. But it’d be nice if it were slightly more realistic.

    The controls being shot out doesnt explain the whole plane loosing lift and not able to pitch up at all.

    Just think how frustrating it is for people in real life. The F-105 had its pitch control severed in combat so often that they installed special spring-loaded jaws that would clamp down, holding the tail in a neutral position while the pilot could steer the bird home using the main wing flaps to control pitch.

    And the entire wing stops producing lift. @RailfanEthan

    When a wing is damaged too much, the control surface becomes locked.
