But what is the actual purpose of skip bombing? There must be some reason to use it, as it was used many times in real life, but I can't figure it out.

He did but he could have been more clear as to what happened in the past. That's not to say the next session will be anything like those early tests. To expand on the videos answer: When tests occur that have the PT 109 as an option you will be able to play it. When full (or partial) ship lineups are released your ship will show up and be available any time. All testing up to this point has been focused on things other than the vehicles purchased to gain access to the BETA.

_82AB_GruberRd, So some ships have been playable and some still have not. The post about the next update to the BETA mentioned bigger ships so I THINK lineups are coming very soon. That is not official, only my personal opinion.

Nope

ofc they will once we've nagged about it long enough and they realize themselves that is a great addition.. not to mention they already have tanks and SPG designed for the intent of heavy fire support, and even have vehicles with howitzers in the game..

Because in real life the tank had drop tanks to float. they had to drop them once they hit land because it was to hard to fight with then on. Reference " https://warthunder.com/en/news/4328-development-type-2-ka-mi-beach-patrol-en/ "

:D

Ok. Some of the events are German biased. Some of the events are USSR biased. That's the way WW2 was. They're called 'WW2 Chronicles', anyway? And as they are Special Events, they are not normal, balanced gameplay, and you do not NEED to play them. Gaijin has had a lot on their hands recently, so don't expect everything to be perfect.
