How to get an assist in 2026?

Game Discussion Arcade Battle

I start to be very frustrated by some economical restrictions Gaijin implement days after days, months after months and years after years in the name of “Adjustment”, “Balance” and fake “Reality” created to serve their voracious need to nerf everything they can.
I remembered a time when I get assists maybe 5 min after my enemy has been shot down: I get a critical hit, and it was a guaranteed assist.

Now ?
I understand nothing. Gaijin is tinking so much by adding/changing conditions that I don’t understand how to get them now.

Example 1: I tracked a russian bomber. Every 10-15 sec, I hit multiple times + 1 critical hit, and I wait a team mate to kill him. At the end: nothing.
Example 2: I tried to hit a plane and almost miss it: 1 hit. I get an assist.
Example 3: I critically hit a plane, he died later (20-30 sec): nothing.

What are the rules to get an assist ? Can you help me ?
Thanks

Did you bother to hit the engines?

Honestly? I dont understand that either! It is said that when you deal “significant damage” to its modules you het the assist. I usually get assist when i landed a critical hit.

From my understanding. It depends on the modules. Significant = certain components, but not super necessary. Critical=Necessary. Unfortunately, unlike what Gaijin claims, their Spaghetti code can’t tell the difference.

So instead, here’s a picture of Anchovy. To ease the confusion cause at this point, who even knows.

I suspect a large number of the things you used to damage to get assists are now counted as “severe damage”, but then that is completely inconsistent too.
