Should war thunder add folding wings on carrier aircraft for ground and stationary experience

And manual hook deployment.
We had aircraft operations in many flightsims for many years. We had it in Il-2 more then 20 years ago

Considering I think the models can actually handle it just no in-game mehcanic for it to be used, then yes would look awesome

I mean, sure, so long as they start wings deployed/its a personal choice to how to start up.
I dont fancy starting battles in a bucc with the wings folded up with bombs on them and glitching out/having to wait for them to drop down, making it even slower taking off.
If it was just a visual thing going on, that would be neat, though I can see people getting upset at flying with folded wings.

I say no. It’s tons of extra effort for something that will almost never be used

boat planes good.
More details for boat planes even better.
For this though it would have to be a chosen feature to deploy, in matches they would not start in the folded position and it would on be for when stationary in custom battles really, however it would be a good feature to add, along with you guys point of manual hook extension

The cockpit opening and closing could be considered the same, but it’s just a QOL feature that should be added (it’s already modelled on some aircraft (Wyvern Devblog).

Idk why opening cockpit is in the game, and only on some aircraft. Even then, opening does have use ingame (hearing aircraft around you in simulator). I can’t imagine a single use for wing folding, especially when grounded aircraft don’t even collide.

I’d have it, but just unfolded by default and ONLY folds on when a keybind is pressed to do so. Would be good just for the aesthetics/cinematic potential
If Gajin gave us access to the assets/software they make their trailers with, then that would sorta defeat the purpose of cinematic potential.
True, but until then, it would be kinda cool seeing folding wings. Especially as I think it’s already baked into some of the aircraft models.
Same kinda line with external aircraft lights. No major function, but would still be really cool to have.

Yeah, or bomber cockpits.
That’s a marketing lie, bombers had no cockpits 😜
I find first step should be to improve immersion aspects generally before going into detail. We have completely empty and dead airfields and carriers, very few (and completely out of place) AI aircraft and vehicles, so much more that should be tackled before such details like folding wings get added.
I’m already quite miffed with how canopies are implemented: You spawn, and the first thing that happens is the canopy opens.
Second thing is that I close the canopy, then start engines.
Why not have it either open at beginning, or add the option to spawn witch canopy closed?

I made a suggestion on the forum to remove the automatic opening and closing of canopy.
It did not find support even among the players. This is the kind of community we have in the game.
Only a very small part cares about immersion.

i would love to fold my SU-33 wings, i wish i wish. Be nice if wing sweep would fold them or a new hotkey. i also wanna add i love the ability to have the cockpit open, besides it has to anyways for eject button, plus i love the animations they did so great job inside the cockpit for all the aircraft as i play sim so im inside the cockpit all the time.
I could see this used if there were ever a naval sim battle where multiple people needed to occupy the same carrier. Since the carrier may be incapable of launching them at the same time, you could be placed in a waiting line like you are in real life
