correct as-is SA-10 (Grumble) Radar Masts Missing Smoke and Fire

[Scoop]

Both the SR and TR Masts in the latest 2.9 Open Beta are missing fire and smoke after hits resulting in destruction.

Is this intended behaviour?

Yes, it is.

i'm grateful for the new models, but we really need some more indication of damage on the Flap Lid destruction model. it looks almost identical through a black and white TGP camera. the only difference i can spot is that there are no tires on the destroyed model.

Perhaps it would be good to maybe get at least some light smoke - something similar to what can be seen on the PRV-13 in this image:

Ideally though we'd have greater variance in destroyed models that actually reflect what's happened (I'd expect something destroyed by near-miss artillery or small-arms fire to look rather different if it was instead destroyed by a 500-lb bomb for instance).

You can absolutely find examples of destroyed and burnt out Flap Lids that look very close to what we have in DCS, I'd imagine some of these (particularly the first 2) would be very difficult to perform BDA with from a black and white image from an aircraft targeting pod (all of these were sourced from Oryxpioenkop, documenting Ukrainian losses, which seemed to have images that were more clear):

 

These examples however were probably either destroyed by artillery near-misses or from loitering munitions. I'd expect a Flap Lid that's just had an ARM go through it to look like this and I'd expect much more destruction from a direct impact from a bomb for instance.
