Fighter survivability (poll)

since bombers are now receiving survivability improvements i think its time we see fighters get there actual survivability improvements as a fighter getting cut in half by a 20mm cannon is very unrealistic many fighters recieve armor and strong structal airframes to actually take hits and it adds weight and they can never actually use it

nah

yall can discuss down here too

I don’t think they need a blanket buff to survivability, however they could use a rework in terms on consistency, it’s weird how they will take multiple hits of large cal HE with little damage, then a .303 MG round blows the wing clean off (although that might be and issue with gun damage models rather then aircraft damage models).
It would also be nice if they addressed the issue where some times a large portion of you plane is blown off and it still flies reasonably well, other times your wing gets a small section of yellow damage and it starts flopping around like a beached fish.

If anything I’d just like to see detailed engine damage models, but that would be something nice to see for all prop aircraft
