This issue was introduced in the latest update to Rust and is related to the CH47 prefab. I have extremely limited ability to change it's behavior and have instead been attempting to come up with ways to bring damage back programmatically.

I can't promise that I'll discover a good solution for this but I've been actively trying.

Also worth noting this behavior was changed by facepunch for undisclosed reasons and they're not particularly sympathetic to servers with the CH47 because it's not intended to be used by players.

While we weren't able to change the behavior of the ch47 prefab it seems like facepunch has made it possible to kill through it's windows again.

However Rust leadership is in talks to replace the CH47 with something less overpowered (but still interesting enough to drive new members) so stay tuned for that update in the coming weeks.

Thanks.
