[bephanten]

the tail got shot down by aa fire and got destroyed. heli lost rudder control, but did not induce counter spin.

been reported before,   DCS/ED has never bothered to fix

this surprised me actually. its more related with flight model than damage model. heli flying without tail rotor is not cool under the hood.

This is not true, we have already made fixes, however some strange circumstance and sometimes lag can create issues.

We do have more damage model work to come in the future, but this example you are right the flight model should take account of the missing tail rotor. I will add this to our internal report.
