When you go in a custom game like a race from war thunder live or a map that isn’t a default, like the big air maps turned into big playable areas in the custom battles tab, the auxiliary vehicles aren’t controllable by the player. If you try to controll the vehicles you will be met by a black screen and not able to move or anything. It’s just like the drones in custom battles how you will launch it and your game will freeze. I don’t know if this is a known issue that needs to be fixed or if Gijian doesn’t care about the custom battles but it’s just something I’m a little dissappointed by.

its not gaijins fault or problem really, its only on user made maps/missions, anything made without those new vehicles in mind likely wont work with them
Ok, thank you!
Just a quick question, idk if you would know but, how do you make those user maps with the platforms and the race mode? Also, how would I add the ability to use the auxiliary vehicles?
the old wiki has a wealth of info on using the CDK (slowly getting more outdated though), not sure about the platforms but heres the stuff on making races

hey i have the same problem, did you fine a solution, this is similar to when you try to use a drone in custom maps made in the CDK
I dont know, I’m new to map creation.
Yeah, even happens in newer custom made maps. If it’s not a base game map it breaks. When you launch a drone or a plane from a boat/tank the camera gets stuck and the launched vehicle becomes uncontrollable. You cant J out, you cant open any of the UI menus, you cannot switch back to the original base vehicle. The only way to get out is either have the launched/base vehicle destroyed or alt-f4 the game. I personally don’t have a multi-sam vehicle but based on video’s I’ve seen if you switch to one its a similar issue but with a black screen.

Thank you for posting about this. I wanted to get the new sam multivehicles, but since they can’t be played in custom battles, it makes me not want them so I’m glad you warned me. Like in the actual battles, the British AVRE cannot use its dozer right now because it is bugged and not available. If Gaijin can’t get that working in the actual game and on a premium vehicle that was bought with real money, then why would there be any hope of them making it possible for multi vehicle units like boats with planes, tanks with drones, or multiple unit sams to be playable in custom battles. While this game has some awesome features, its potential seems to fall off where I wish it would excel the most.
