Random failures due to factors other than combat aren't currently modeled in the game. I think they could be, but they'd mostly apply to hard-core online simmers, since just about everyone else would just reload the mission when a random failure occurs.
Hydraulic failure on landing gear due to combat damage is modeled in the game as of the 4.12 patch, but I don't believe that it's modeled for other systems. It's a nice effect - at least when you're the shooter
.
Oxygen and radio systems currently aren't modeled in the game. Like fuel transfer or electrical systems, it would take a LOT of work to implement them, since new damage models and damage effects would be needed for just about all the planes in the game.
Realistically, it would be difficult to model night fighter operations without better modeling of radio and radar systems. And, to a lesser extent, electrical systems.
