Guess no one told you this but, any plane with retractable wings, the damage model is always fully extended for the wings. So you will still clip things when they are closed and you can get shot in wing when it looks like the shots should miss. (F-14, f-111, Mig 23, ect.) You can confirm this by checking your damage state while flying supersonic. The wings will show as extended while they are tucked in. Press O while supersonic and you will see what I mean.
