Like, you cut an aircraft in half, it’s going into a spin, and burning. Imagine it would still be able to shoot at missile at you.
Imagine how ridiculous it would be.

Seems pretty realistic to me… the targeting computer doesn’t just kick the bucket once you chop the tail off
How I see it. The line between dead-dead and dead-but-can-limp-back-home is WAY too small and varies greatly from aircraft to aircraft. It would be very very annoying to be booted out of, or prevented from trying to land a badly damaged aircraft just to prevent what is a rather rare occurance.
That being said. Aircraft are in need of a major damage model overhaul and that could include electronics internal modules that when damaged could prevent the use of weapons or something.
I always thought that a 30-second repair was not a repair, but simply a transfer of the crew to another plane stored in the airfield hangar.
Yeah, thats a good way of thinking about it.
