Tearing off the tail of helicopters with coaxial rotors is no longer counted as destruction, since it does not have a significant impact on the performance of these types of helicopters and does not lead to them crashing. This should help situations where players stop firing at one of these helicopters thinking it is no longer a threat.
The detachment of an aircraft wing when the allowable load is exceeded is no longer counted as a destruction, the same as with the tearing off of flaps or landing gear.

is this why the servers are dead?
i cant connect at all at the moment.
Edit:
NVM it just started working again. but i assume it was this update, everything died and i opened the forum 2 seconds later to all the update notifications in different languages.
not really a buff for the kamovs, I mean I have died many times to “destoryed” kamovs flying without tails so its just a way for us to get more damage on them and I don’t think it’s a buff
" He 111 H-3 has been grouped with the BV 138 C-1."
You might want to check this!
That was the original suggestion that I noted at the time made no sense as the two designs had nothing in common. Now it’s gone live I see with the game tech tree the change has indeed grouped the BV138 with the He115 which is far more sensible.
that is true, but that does not increase survivability. they are just as likely to be “actually” destroyed. before it showed destroyed when they were not, even without tail they kept flying and firing and getting kills, but shooting at them then gave no rewards since they were already “dead”. it made no sense.
I don’t care for it being able to or not,… i’m speaking REWARD WISE you’ll need to Spent more ammunition to kill it, if you only blowed the tail off!!!
what is different from before except when the message appears?
before, it could still fly after getting tailed destroyed and kept shooting and getting kills. shooting it again would not have made sense since it was already “dead”.
now it isn’t counted as dead so you keep shooting to kill it.
but it still acts the same as before mechanically.
