im not 100% sure but some of the WW1 guns are very closely related to the WW2 150MM the projectile wise atleast not physically
i also wouldnt be suprised if the GAFORD truck had gas rounds too as it was in the great gas war

I believe the M6A was also planned to make a chemical bombing
Called Operation PX / Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night. Would have been aimed at San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Tho it is more of a “disease bombing” than an actual chemical warhead.
Just a little fact.

These would go well with infantry, if they ever get that finished.

Better fact:
Despite the unit 731’s status as a highly secure building, at least two unsuccessful escape attempts did occur.
The first attempt occurred between May and June 1943 and involved one of the prisoners knocking out an inattentive guard and stealing his keys. The prisoner then proceeded to open cell doors, freeing at least 100 prisoners. However, the prisoners remained confined to the inner courtyard of the prison building, from which they could not escape. Because the researchers did not want to kill the prisoners they were experimenting on, for fear of losing valuable research, they decided to flood the area with the pesticide chloropicrin which they believed to be a harmless tear gas. However, the chloropicrin proved to be fatal to the prisoners in the courtyard, all of whom suffocated.

Also, Italy used mustard gas in the second italo-ethiopian war.
So they didn’t fall behind by a mile.
Main aircraft used for this was the SM.81 pipistrello (already on the italian TT)
we also have the Ca.133 which also did questionable stuff on civilians.
Chemical warfare in WT would be napalm but better, since even a lot of closed tops tanks are not sealed and can let outside chemicals in (can’t wait for gas mask modification I guess).
So I suppose said clouds of chemicals would need to be fixed on 1 place and very visible if you want balance, since they would be absurdly powerful at denying areas at low to mid tier, past that and 90% of vehicles would be inmune. (also a lot of friendly fire)
Only upside over napalm is that kill time wouldn’t be instant and that in some cases you would need to fly really low, since they relied on spraying.

the Unit 731 didn’t make good ammunition, I think. they produced bombs, but still bad because Japan only used small bombs?
However, it’s not possible to say that Unit 731 made incredible munitions.
even talking about bombs, i only remember about the Ceramic Bombs.
Ceramic (Uji) Bombs: Standard metal bomb casings required excessive gunpowder, and the resulting heat destroyed the fragile bacteria. To solve this, scientists developed specialized porcelain/ceramic bombs. The shells exploded mid-air using a small charge, releasing thousands of disease-carrying fleas to infect populations below.
Even so, I don’t think it would be easy to use them against tanks in WarThunder.

I still can’t understand it, are you planning to drop plague and disease bombs against the armor of a tank?

Yes, much better to use one message and quote multiple other replies that you want to reply to friend 🙂
Just in case you do not know how, first, select/highlight the entire post or specific section you want to respond to, then a popup titled “quote” will appear, click on that button (or press Q):
Then, it will show up in your reply like this:
This is what the code will look like while you are writing:
[quote="BadGirl7090-live, post:21, topic:326992"]
I still can’t understand it,
[/quote]
Then, reply to the first message. Then repeat the same steps for each additional reply that you want to respond to. Makes it much easier to follow your entire through process, and keeps the thread from becoming as bloated 👍 Furthermore, if someone else replies while you are making multiple separate responses, all of your messages will get split up, further scattering the flow of the thread. Especially in more active threads, it becomes chaotic very rapidly if everyone is making multiple new replies instead of combining multiple responses into one message 😉
And like @iegaatdao mentioned, you can edit your post any time and add more quotes and replies, etc.

Yup, at first I was making the point for shells, and then we somewhat moved far from the subject. Bombs wont be useful for their imprecision, even tho shells, especially larger caliber could indirect fire open-top. They would be somewhat even more useful than flametrower, while giving a larger use of the fire damages of them and napalm.

open tops oflower BR would be killed.
Won’t be very useful in general, but already better than flametrower.
And indirect-fire an open top with those could be fun.
i mean there are multiples useless things in war thunder, totally not speaking of a toilet on a plane, or a HEAT-FS without explosive on a T-80.

lmao, you are doing it too @30x170_APDS-T 😂 Better to combine multiple replies into one message friends, cheers!
(Especially when you are responding to one user across multiple of their replies, or even different sections of their replies. Makes it much easier and better to have quotes in your reply, rather than only clicking the “reply” button, and we cannot see what you are replying too without clicking and/or scrolling back up, and back down, and back up, and back down lul.)
you better not watch my discussion with myself in the Japan HQ topic. I have a message edited 4 times, and reponded 3 times or 2 to myself.
Because I was exploring a 200 page PDF about shells.

Lmao, I LOVE dense edits like that! I will also use the # to make separate sections, especially for edits so people know I made changes if they want to know exactly what has changed since they first replied.
First section size
Second section size
Third section size
Forth section size
They go all the way down to 6 or 7 lul. ALSO! When you use those, it allows you to link directly to a specific section. Very useful for “FAQ” threads etc that become large. This also allows you to make an “Index” in a large post, using those URL links to let people click directly to a specific section, or even other replies that you make later on, on the same thread, or anywhere else on the forums. Allow much greater control for your links/references rather than being limited to only the main reply link.
Code looks like this:
# First section size
## Second section size
### Third section size
#### Forth section size
A chain icon appears next to these “#” sections, that gives you the direct URL to that section: The super ethical addition : Chemical shells - #29 by 30x170_APDS-T
Called “Headers”? I can’t remember what they are called.
Anyway, I have enjoyed messing with the various formatting options in the forums here. Lmk if you ever need/want help with this stuff 🙂
Ok but back to topic, All shells that relied on animal-borne diseases can’t be added, only those who used chemicals
animals would be way to hard to simulate and to unpredictable even, makin a Friendly fire autoban festival, also diseases kill in the span of days or hours.
A mustard cloud to the face would kill a person quicker.
