It had a steel frame and steel skin. It was a heavy little plane, which really made it one of the tougher planes for combat during that time.
Someone suggested making a mod that could introduce realistic pilot vulnerability.
I think more 109 as well as other light aircraft pilots would die sooner, and maybe be more inline with how pilot kills occur in other planes like the P-40.

The P-40 was NOT made from steel.... It was /is aluminum like all US WW2 Fighters...
