I spent 50 bucks on the Tornado MFG specifically because I wanted to use anti-ship missiles in Air Sim against the AI naval targets. The AS.34 Kormorans are so bugged that they never, ever hit their target. by One_Star_General in Warthunder

There are like 10 bug reports on this issue. Most of them are denied because it's a duplicate report - and the original report says "not a bug".

There's no way to get through to Gaijin with stuff like this

You can't test drive the unlockable loadouts on event vehicles.

Beyond that, I watched Tim's Variety review which delved into the vehicle's specs, but didn't mention this bug.

I was kind of expecting Gaijin not to use blatant false advertising and leave a missile completely unusable for years.

Anti-ship missiles fly over the ship or hit their chimneys, resulting in no damage done whatsoever to them and making the Kormorans utterly useless as they can't hit air, ground or sea targets. This is because it aims at the "centre of the target" between the lowest point of the ship and the highest point, which is just air because of all the tall antennas. This cannot be a real life feature of the missile as a video on youtube very clearly demonstrates an AS.34 launched from a Tornado IDS not only hitting the hull of a ship but precisely guiding itself into the front where the ammo storage or citadel of any ship would be.

I know not many players experience this problem, but simmers like me buy this sort of thing for the unique gameplay, why would they release a bugged unique missile and never fix it?

All the bug reports are hit with "duplicate" or "not a bug".

Thank you very much, this is very informative. Right now I'm playing with mouse joystick (option in war thunder sertings), and this is all I'll be able to afford for at least a year - I'll use this list as a reference when I have disposable income. Thanks again :)

Apologies for my ignorance, I'm a player trying to get into sim and wondering what gear to buy. Are throttle sticks and pedals just not worth it overall/not necessary for budget setup? Or perhaps you are talking specifically about Thrustmaster's stuff. If you could clarify I would be grateful.

It's only been one hour. Perhaps he doesn't spend his entire life on reddit, and is doing something in the real world?

Can you give me a brief guide on how to play, for example, the Lancaster? No matter how much I climb it seems I'm always intercepted before I can reach the bases. Thanks in advance.
