At least 50% of war thunder planes have a broken damage model (vehicle list included)

Hello

This matter has been raised with the developers for investigation. All material has been forwarded to join with ongoing reports.

Thank you for helping to improve the game.

So did we win?

Currently in war thunder some planes have good and some have a bad damage model for the elevator and what do I mean by "bad" damage model, well let me explain.

Most planes have a two-part elevator so they are not merged and that's how its supposed to be but a lot of planes have some kind of lazy (I suspect lazy) damage model where both elevators have the same hitbox and share the same hp pool so you can shoot the left elevator and both elevators will fall off making you lose all elevator control instead of half. this might seem like a trivial problem that might only affect old planes with earlier damage models but that's not the case. The newest jet for USA the F-100D has this problem where both elevators are glued together even though they are separate parts while the MiG-19PT does not suffer from this and can lose the elevators individually. Here is a short video showing and testing the damage models of different planes elevators: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwVGWfXQxcY

So what I want are ALL planes to have elevators that have separate damage models and I guess the fix is to remake the elevators damage model for the planes affected and not much more than that

So you might want to find out yourself if your fav plane/planes suffer from this and I show how to test that without leaving the hangar at the end of the video

Here is a list of aircraft that I found to have a broken damage model but remember I DO NOT HAVE ALL AIRCRAFT in every country so this is not a complete list so there are a lot more planes with broken damage model. At least in Russia I only miss like 10 aircraft in the normal tech tree
