Well, those pics are pretty hard to find. But I can tell you that if a flak88 were to directly hit an airplane, It could take a wing, instantly kill the pilot, loose rudder parts, blow up instantly, or loose engine. Those are all the stuff ive heard of from a flak88. My grampa was a pilot over Europe. He has many great stories. There were WAY more ways that the hurricane could have been downed. Be creative. Battle damage is a random thing. You can do anything and it would be historically accurate pretty much.

Yes, if the poor Hurrie gets it by a 88mm shell, then all you have to do is make a pile of scrap metal and fabric in a field.

Try 20mm shells, engine, fuselage and windscreen overed in oil.
