Do you think gaijin should add a feature where trucks with side beds sticking can fold and pack the gun away and for similar trucks

I do really hope this feature comes to the game

Would be nice!

We have some vehicles where this would be very valuable, e.g. VFW. That one can be switched from folded to unfolded, with respective advances/disadvantages like different reload speeds, but only via the modifications screen out of battle, not IN battle…

I’d even go so far as to say that vehicles with support structures can only fire if those are deployed (e.g. FlaRakRad, ItO’s). So transitioning from one state to the other would take some time, a bit like folding/unfolding of ATGM launchers.

OMG YES, they need to make it changeable, especially because most of the time they make you stuck and then you have to backup and whatnot, sometimes it can get you killed

Yea I just think it looks cooler

Pretty sure there are a few that do this already.

An spaa or two…Zerstorer maybe? But - I think you have to decide in garage which mode to deploy in, as opposed to assigning an in-battle function keybind.

How do I add this setting

Why can’t we toggle them in battle?
While moving from spawn they are up to protect from mg or shrapnel. Once at desired location lower them for better all-round gunnery.
We pay for them in research and yet they are really useless in game because no one would use the spaa with the skirts up.

If dozer blades and radar dishes can be raised and lowered, side-skirts should be able to as well.
