They’ll surely get to take days off otherwise and rotate around.

If it has been suggested then it’s probably lower priority to Gaijin.
Better add drop tanks to as many aircraft as possible, then give different options.
I can see how some would like that feature but the operational considerations that would make someone pick a smaller tank mostly isn’t there in War Thunder. I think very few aircraft can use a larger payload in game if they pick a smaller drop tank. Irl they probably want to keep weight down for shorter strips or knowing they don’t need the biggest tank because it’s just a waste if they drop it early. Those don’t really apply here.

Ah, alright
I was considering bug reporting the tanks for the F-20, since it could also use the 275 and 330 gallon ones

Always good to report omissions/inaccuracies. They might keep that info for a later date when they use.

Thx for the headsup! Changelog still not updated, will keep a look out. Thx!
And who is to say that it isn’t still wip?

I suppose it is entirely possible it’s a T-80UD copypaste right now.
It definitely isn’t what it should be at all.
Since the gun can’t aim properly it’s definitely W.I.P.

The 2A4M was pretty much just a 2A4 copy pasted (turret cheek addons weren’t modeled and it only had gen1 thermals) so I think they just copy pasted the UD for now.
Especially since in both cases only the ammunition was changed. I’m still not keen on 3BM46, awful shell for 11.3
Unless it has some major downside over the normal T-80U, I don’t see it getting any better ammunition.
Tornado F3 late is getting 495 gallon tanks despite already having 370 (I think can’t remember the size of the top of my head) gallon tanks. Hoping they add them to the other tornados as well.
In game, larger tanks are only really beneficial in SB, where range and fuel management is a factor to consider. But they are certainly not unusable in ARB. Even as a psuedo fuel dump mechanic

Would be kind of epic and based (but schizo) if any tank in game got 6ТД-5 with 1,800 horsepower.
But I honestly fear that Gaijin have once again decided some ahistorical mangled frankenstein tank is what the Soviet tree needs, notably with reduced abilities in every domain.
Like this: “2000’s russia had no money, so clearly they must have used all of the weakest components ever mounted on a T-80U and T-80BV combined into one tank.”
Another 4 quillion gallons to the engine.
Running huge drop tanks whilst on minfuel is certainly viable for if you need to win that dogfight as a tornado.
Did they also fix the turret cheek addons?
They weren’t modeled in the armor viewer/protection analysis before, so they were only visually modeled.
Yeah, it is just about. What’s funny, is that for SB, those larger tanks will probably still require me to do fuel management, the tornado engines are hungry!
I think they have the highest fuel burn in game for ABs
(Most aircraft I think are modeled at 600%, tornados are 700% or something along those lines)
Quebec french?
No idea, not on dev myself
