Lancia 3Ro reversed engine cowling error + gigantic turning radius

Hello, I noticed that the in-game model for the Lancia 3Ro has a small mirroring error. The louvers on the sides of the engine cowling are reversed, thus pointing the wrong way. They should let the hot air from the radiator flow out towards the back.
In game they are modelled as if they scoop air from the front.

Also, the turning radius is WAY too big for a truck of this type. The front wheels seem to turn only a few degrees when they should go way beyond to something like 25 to 30 degrees. I know it’s not a Fiat 500, but turning 90 degrees corners on city maps shouldn’t require a two point turn.

I like playing this thing, it’s a cool truck with an effective canon, but moving around is quite difficult. It already doesn’t have much traction on slight inclines which is understandable seeing the tires, but at least let us turn.

Nice catch! Hope they plan to fix it.

Me too, I hope the fact that this is a user model won’t affect how repairable the bug is.

“The 100/17 su Lancia 3Ro has been created by your fellow War Thunder players Nicola “Kolin0” Faggiani and Riccardo “BlueBeta” Lo Verso as part of the Revenue and Share Program”

Wow I didn’t know other people made them, they should do this more, I bet there are a lot of modellers drooling over this idea.

I know the Iar-81C was one of the most memorable examples in-game. At least with all the WTLive progress posts that I remember from the time before it was released.

Turning radius is 7m for 3Ro according to Pignato book.

Nice find!
Can you make a Community Bug Report poll? You can take the credit for this, I tried searching and couldn’t come up with a reference.

sorry this is italy

If you want to report it, you will need another source (1 primary or 2 secondary are required).

It’s about 90/53 Lancia 3Ro, but should be same values.
