Enemy ships/wingmen - limited Afterburner fuel? can suffer component damage?

Well, like the title says it, I'd like to know if enemy ships and also your wingmen have limited Afterburner fuel just like you and can have components shot out just like you do, or is the simulation of their ships simplified and basically consists only of armor and shield percentages plus missile count like in previous games?

They have limited fuel, I believe - but they definitely don't have damageable components.

From the game engine's perspective, there is only one ship object type in Vision, and every ship (including the player's) must obey the same laws... with a few hardcoded exceptions here and there (like difficulty setting and AI control). So AI-controlled ships have the same "components" and damage system than the player, minus the graphical parts meant for the player to be seen from the cockpit.
