fix the A-10s control system already

[Druckform | INSOMNIAC 3D]

im so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ sick of being hit ANYWHERE on my A-10 and immediately losing all controls and just crashing into the ground. thats straight up not how it worked in real life and is one of the only planes to ever do it in game. this is a big reason why i dont spend any more money in this game, they add stuff then dont give it the systems it has in real life then turning around and saying the game is realistic.

buys an A10 doesn't get an A10 lol

its funny how the plane probably best known for its amazing suitability feels like its made of tissue paper meanwhile the SU line is made of stalinium which allows them to survive multiple direct missile hits

could not have said it better myself. and as korkk said (and i left out or all the russian bias deniers would flock to this post to defend it) the SU line of planes can tank multiple missile hits from both AAM and SAMs and keep flying and keep control of the vehicle, but the A-10 series gets hit by even small calibre rounds and you lose all control, its unrealistic and a huge slap in the face for the planes history and what its known for.

it is known for heavy damaged pilots manually cranking redundant systems like jack handles and landing on home soil, in one of the most well known cases a woman did it.

I wouldnt say the A-10 is particularly strong in real life
BUT it has alot of redundancy built into it which makes it seem strong
Which is not modeled at all in war thunder
For example the control surfaces have 3 duplicates of it in the airframe to survive after one fails
While in WT the duplicates just make it easier to disable due to being bigger

The A10 was designed to fly with one engine, half a wing missing and half the tail missing. There are actual pictures of A10's with unimaginable battle damage that made it back to base.

As it stand now, If I take 4 rounds into my wing is immediately shears off.

It's idiotic that a KA50 is more durable than an A10.

Icon deserves a buff
Regarding su25 it has the nickname flying tank for a reason

[Yoloswaggins]

they did our boy dirty, doesnt have the durability and also no depleted uranium belts for the GAU

the A-10 has the same reputation, so why isn't it represented in game?

[French Cat]

Why the flight control system is one massive wire baffles me. You can get one wire hit, and the entire damn system fails.

[Yoloswaggins]

ive died in my a10 way too many times from a glancing shot; still have both wings and tail in tact but lose control and slowly go to the ground, its sad

aircraft damage models in general are extremely dated.
