Hydropneumatic suspension in War Thunder
Behind a complex definition hides a very useful combat ability to change the angle of the tank’s hull in all directions or the ability to ‘hunker down’ the vehicle, seriously reducing its height. Of course, only on vehicles that use this type of suspension.
Hydropneumatic suspension in battle.
Japanese tankers will be the first to try this new mechanic in battle on the Type 74 and STB-1 top-tier tanks. Full freedom of action! By default, you will be able to control the suspension with a numeric keyboard, and the tactical opportunities will amaze both the driver and his enemies. Add hull angling to the usual weapon angling toward the opponent and attack them while remaining practically untouchable to return fire. Settle the tank down and use even low cover to safely hide your vehicle, then suddenly, without showing your hull, jump out and take your shot.
Get to grips with this new technique in full and figure out new tactics in battle.

Japan’s top tanks will become truly interesting vehicles that are worth striving to obtain, and they will add a new dimension to the locations you’re used to in War Thunder.
Tankers, meet new tactical opportunities in update 1.65 "Way of the Samurai"!

I'm not sure I'll be fighting in this thing as much as jumping up and down across the map to show of, like a low rider. All it's missing is some paint job and a few 3D decorations
Wait for a release, I am pretty sure our live.warthunder community will handle that part with paint job.
All answers (4)Stona_WT, why you just dont ask what the people want ??? do the list and they will vote. Now you just try to surprice with the useless things like this one, foc. you just try to take it off advantage from usa vhen they versus russians ? or you try to make more camping abilities? This game after 6.7 BR all about the camping in the spam point and sniping. in more than a 8000 battles i seen lots of things critically need to be changed or returned a.s.a.p. FOC. unit markings NO.1
welcome to pimp my tanks
i just imagine Gaijin staff standing at the wheel of Fortune in the office asking: "so what do we add this patch?", maybe regenerative steering this patch too?
but, some tanks already have that, some tanks can pivot in place :P
All answers (2)TifanyGetBlacked, you mean neutral steering?
what!?!? and let ~1970 tanks actually turn like a tank instead of anchoring in place and struggle to move? MADNESS!
I just leave this thing here.... https://gifsound.com/?gifv=h5ZzcL5&v=DKoY1fw7yCo
