Mom, can we get Taurus?
No, we have Taurus at home…

I’ve actually been dreaming of seeing this thing being added to WT
Italians had radio-controlled SM.79 ARP. Although there was a pilot who made a take off and later should leave the plane using parachute, while the “bomb” continued to be controlled by another plane. Iirc there were other similar designs.

@Smin1080p_WT Hi, got a fascinating question, you might answer or might not regarding a vehicle, can we expect more strv 103 variants in the future? because there is never enough from cheese.
I was ahead of time, I wrote a Suggestion for it in early August but it got rejected. Lol.

Yeah, I never expected it to get added either

Btw I don’t know if anyone noticed this but it is kinda strange that they decided to use the word aircraft when talking about helicopters, is like making a whole post talking about trucks and then use the word motor vehicle at the end.
Especially since they are talking about jamming equipment.
This would justify the uptier for the j-15T from 14.7 to 15.0

Hold up, new cope just dropped 🔥
(Would be a nice Easter egg for ECM, ngl)

We don’t have any plans in the immediate future for them. Maybe someday.
I mean a Helicopter is a form of Aircraft if they used Aeroplane then yeah that would have be weird.

There has been a problem with the buoyancy of amphibious vehicles tanks for a pretty long time and a report about it has been accepted not long after it was posted.
Are there any updates about that you could provide?
I would need the report itself to be able to check for any updates internally.

Here some Mistel Info.
Spoiler
[…] Meanwhile, under the direction of Gen.-Ing. Marquardt, static tests had
been carried out with the SHL 3500 warhead against old French warships
captured by the Germans at the naval port of Toulon, in southern France.
In order to make the ‘target’ more representative of modern warships,
additional ten-centimetre steel armour plate had been fitted. A charge was
fastened to the two main gun turrets of the battleship Océan (formerly the Jean Bart), and when it was
detonated the warhead drove
through the additional armour,
through the 30 cm armour of
the first gun turret and out the
opposite side, which was of a
similar thickness, and through
the armour plating of the
second turret. The result was an
effective total penetration of
28 metres through the ship.
Simultaneously, in East Prussia,
successful experiments had
been carried out in which a
hollow charge warhead blasted through 18 metres of concrete.
Working with Marquardt and technicians from the Luftwaffe, the team
at Junkers devised a process whereby a warhead with a similar capability
could be fitted to a purpose-converted Ju 88 with relative ease by specialist
Luftwaffe armourers in operational conditions. To facilitate this, a Ju 88
would have its crew compartment removed at the cockpit bulkhead, this
process being carried out at a conversion facility run by Junkers. Four
spherically aligned quick-release bolts were fitted which allowed the crew
compartment to be re-installed for training purposes or for ferrying to an
operational airfield. Once delivered to an operational unit, the crew
compartment would once again be removed and the warhead fitted, again
using the quick-release bolts. This process – taking approximately one day
to complete – required a team of six mechanics, two armourers and a crane
capable of lifting four tons. After the warhead was attached, the composite
had to be towed to the takeoff position because the pilot of the fighter
could not operate the brakes of the Ju 88.

Meanwhile, at least one Mistel
was successfully launched at the
enemy ships from a height of 245
metres. The bomber hit the sea and
exploded close to HMS Nith,
a 1370-ton River Class frigate lying
at anchor off Gold Beach. 1Lt Peter
Meryon was second in command of
Nith, and from his open air position on the superstructure he watched the
Mistel as it approached the ship. He recalled;
‘I clearly remember that moonlit night, at action stations, hearing the
droning of an enemy aircraft. Then I remember being aware of it aiming
itself at us, then separating from the smaller aircraft above it. The aircraft
continued on a descent towards us, causing an enormous explosion
alongside the ship. Our sea boat was turned outboard at its davits ready for
an emergency, and the wing of the plunging aircraft cut the boat in half,
which gives some idea of how close the Ju 88 was when it hit the water.’
The Mistel had actually blown in Nith’s starboard side amidships and
the entire length of the ship had been raked by steel fragments. Steam pipes
in the boiler room had burst and the main generator had been put out
of action. For a time Nith was without electricity, but working in almost
complete darkness, the engine room artificer managed to activate the
auxiliary power supply. Nine crew were killed and 27 wounded in the
attack. Meryon remembered ‘the awful sight of maimed bodies, blood and
flesh which, of course, we had to clear up after ascertaining that the ship
herself was sound and not sinking’.

Looks like I have to correct myself, the report was labelled as a duplicate and a similar issue was fixed, while the main problem remains
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/IKAT2RkqWTem
The thing that was kind of fixed was the drowning, but not the bouyancy
You are definitely onto something, Also IIRC we got a keybind for ECM (i think it was towed radar decoy or towed decoy radar, whatever it is) by accident in the last dev server,

Heck yeah
I found this on War Thunder Live, guess someone else also had a hunch.

Mark my words it’ll be the bane of any and all IR missiles for a couple of patches
Just launch a bunch of IR missiles at once, duh
