“game convention” to be more accurate
Remember when it came it was like you have just said, a 163mm telephone pole that overmatched pretty any armour. They changed it to normal rocket but with depleted uranium rod in the end so it works like normal APFSDS.

There also exists a BGM-71 form factor, child project as well, the HATM so there are other options for a future addition.

The TOW in War Thunder drops effectively identically to real life.
You just have to be using the optics that Gaijin correctly tunes the missiles for: The gunner optics.
Tuning them for the barrel of a gun would be inaccurate and a bug.
And until Gaijin adds guidance modules as real things on vehicles, it’ll keep using whatever sight you’re using.
tldr, gaijin fucked atgms for pretty much everyone and didnt bother to fix it
Type 89’s Type 79ATGM doesnt drop however it does (heres a video for you enjoy :D)

QN506 faces the same problem, you must aim way higher in order for ATGM to work properly otherwise you gonna strike the ground most of the time which is weird considering it’s vertical trajectory after launching itself, most atgms are not only tricky to aim but fire and forget ones work in a way that makes them very unreliable, only tank that is able to success with fire and forget is freccia and that is bcoz its equipped with more quantity than other F&F atgm vehicles

cause gajongles thinks its realistic, people complained alot and they mostly fixed the TOW, and left most otehr missiles behind despite it being bs. last year i made a post and compiled a bit of videos showing both shillelagh and milan dont drop at all when fired.
the same applies of konkurs(also heavily affected) although i havent bothered to research(its pointless there is a metric ton of konkurs combat footage)
So it should drop in-game?
Note it does “drop” but it’s not actually a drop, it’s just going to the guidance point after launching.
@Zannafrancy12
Konkurs doesn’t drop in-game.
The only “drop” is when Konkurs starts guiding on the beam path for the standard BMP-2, thus isn’t a drop.

I will be forever seething about the LOSAT until they fix it properly, which they won’t.

I’m not even going to bother reporting it, as it’s so obvious that it’s not going to be corrected and the only thing saving it currently is it’s decent HEAT round. Otherwise this thing’s performance is comically bad, just like the last few Gaijin major updates.

I cannot place my finger on Alvis Wisla. Is he a troll, rage baiting, or is he unironically like this?

All of the above, depending on the time of day/night. It is never consistent, but he IS consistently “himself”.

No. AFT09, ZT3A2 and others are perfectly fine.
Yes, always lock on with the QN506 and raise your aim before firing, as it looks like you’re throwing a ball underarm, especially if you’re on a slope or in a ditch. Different for the Vilkas, as its spikes are aimed upwards to begin with.
Unless we’re discussing helicopters in which QN506 is top-dog.
I feel like a sucker for grinding it out, but I’m hoping one day it will get the love it deserves.

so few, most it dives straight down into the floor after launch or doesnt even properly loft
Did they fix the ZT3A2 launcher having recoil yet? Back when I played it, launching a missile from the open tubes on top would have such a massive recoil impulse that shifted your sight off target it was nearly impossible to use the tank at certain ranges in a hull down position.
Yes
