When did gaijin add new mechanic with disabling avionics parts of the aircraft?

This update

Anything but blue

seems that will affect flankers the most, since you are more likely to survive a hit from a missile but still be afloat. But at least it prevents missile from flatspin kills, so that’s a positive

I liked the fact that they were adding detailed components and damage models to modern jets, like on the F-18’s, and I was hoping to see them for flankers too, but this new system feels like RNG at times.

Indeed it does. i lost both wings, but still had FCS and radar operationable, other time i literally just had some scrape damage of the airframe but both radar and FCS got shut down so i was completely useless

At least with something like this you literally have physical components that can get damaged and stop working, the new system can make you non-operational even with a knicked wing meh.

And also tbf these models look cool asf

Another thing i noticed is that R-77 lost its priviliges of multipath deleter. Before the update i was hitting extremely reliable shots, but nowadays same aspect just results in a “hit” at best

I love how Legacy Hornet has similar super detailed x-ray model, but they absolutely dropped the ball with Super Hornet

seeing Kopyo on Su-39 without ANYTHING that you can use it with still hurts my soul

Engine model on the legacy looks so nice, then you take a look at F-15’s or Flankers and they just have two cylinders…

It even has the APU model, useless, but it’s there.

Not like photos of AL-31F is from all angles are readily available over the internet, right?
Even J-10 has more details in the engine X-ray despite having pretty much the same engine just with engine controls placed at the bottom for single-engine platforms

Yeah exactly

its not just R-77s that have had inconsistent damage i have tanked a lot of missiles this update

that’s a nice hole, but i was talking specifically about multipathing. Before R-77 or 77-1 had almost no problems hitting multipathing targets in a head-on if you are above and around 10-15km from the target. Now they just do little to nothing. Deck meta is back on the menu it seems, Gripen and Mirage2k gonna be happy

Belarusian camo unironically the least washed out one of the bunch… I’ll have to spend them 200 GE.

Mainly they broke serious damage mechanic with it… direct hit with ET ended up with crit… F-16 lost its wing and was fully on fire.
Kill stolen by R-77 missing and detonating bumfuk nowhere barely touching the plane.

oh yeah, i accidentally absolutely stole a Eurofighter without wings and on fire flatspinning in the air. And end result showed it as fully killed by me, not finished off like if it was severe damaged.
