It is not tagged or stated to be early access on steam or DCS store, as such it is not. Adding this to mark as Solution. They have stated on their discord that it will be updated.

The more I think about this module the more buyers regret I am having with the very high price and very poor damage module. I think theres still a chance of a steam refund since I purchased there, crossing my fingers. But I really wish the developers of the module would respond to the general criticism over the damage model or remove the 'Advanced Damage Model' claims from their page. For the most expensive helicopter on the store right now it really does not feel like it as much as I love the other features.

Oh and to add that feature is great. Was a bit of a surprise when it first went off lol.

Hi, I recently bought the OH-58D off the steam DLC store. I really enjoy that it is relatively easy to fly compared to other helicopters like the apache, MI-8 and Huey and it has been the first helicopter I have been able to master flying long distances without crashing. I have played DCS for many years now but I don't actually have many hours as I only play on and off, so this is perfect for me. But the more I play the more disappointed I am with the damage model. On the store it claims that there is an 'advanced damage model' which I figured would mean the helicopter would have parts that can fall off due to impact or damage, it does not. The entire helicopter appears unable to loose any parts except for the rotors, even the struts during hard landings. I have also been shot many times by infantry causing an overlay of damage to display on some areas like the scout eye above the rotor but the helicopter appears to operate normally. So far I have only seen the helicopter capable of being dead or in perfect health, no in between. The more I play the more I am disappointed by this, is there any plans to update the damage model? Thanks.
