I love IL-2's crash physics!

Nice video!

I'm honestly a little torn about the realism of the crashes in IL-2 GB. Looks like there are three types of crashes:

1. The lighter and glancing impacts are well simulated, in fact realistically the airframe or its main parts remain intact while the appendages such as wing tips, control surfaces, tail surfaces and landing gears break off and separate from the aircraft in a very cool way.
2. on the other hand, more angled impacts and/or impacts with greater speeds would also lead to marked crumpling of the cell, while in the simulator the cell still remains intact, a rigid body bouncing on the ground. It's this type of crash with intermediate energy that doesn't convince me
3. stronger crashes lead to a realistic disintegration of the entire aircraft in a ball of fire

So, in my opinion lighter and stronger impacts are well simulated, while intermediate impacts are not so well recreated.

Yep. Same feeling for me.

i will add something missing: explosion and disintegration in the sky.

Unfortunately planes do break in predefined parts, you can't also loose sheet metal, there is also no flexing forces, or big heavy parts like engine can't be  dismounted on impact. Lots of this can be improved, maybe some do in Korea.

Yes, of course basically is an old damage model, in Korea it will probably be improved.
