Yep, i think this was because of the weight. It was very hard to find the best trim for the narrow, fine-lined destroyer, so every kg that can be spared was important. Especially the weak stern was problematic.
regarding your texture-problem:
when the game does not use the textures in the namc.tga, does it use the normal arado-tga? But i found no tga-file included regarding the arado-plane. Just try to extract the hipper-arado tga into data/textures/tnormal/tex, and change it, but i do not think it works.
