The following is summary of a typical discussion thread:
WideEyedInnocent: So, did anybody you know fly in the war?
UberMenchen: Ja, my father shot down ze entire Rusky air force twice. Zen he gut shot.
YippyYank: Well, my great uncle flew the mighty P-40 - into a mountain.
WideEyedInnocent: Into a mountain! That's awesome! Is that modeled?
RBJ: Of course its modelled. Its modeled just fine- planes hit the ground and break up in a fireball.
LuftWhyne: This is such baloney. There are several well documented instances of FW-190's flying straight through the Urals, unscathed. Those birds were tough!
UberMenchen: Jah, its true.
BorschtBuddy: This game undermodels Russian mountains, which were specifically made to destroy German fighters. Only imperialist americans would think a russian mountain was worse than the american kind.
Gibbage: I'm modeling some rocks now- apparently, there were boulders and stuff all over the eastern front- and there are none in the game!
UberMenchen: I have pics of luftwafe boulders that show their tough construction. Especially the 30m ones.
LuftWhyne: Has anyone looked into birdstrikes? I'd figure the propeller would turn the average goose into dogmeat pretty quickyl.
RBJ: Sure, if you were at 90 prop. pitch. Otherwise, its puree.
