Trailers

So, just wondering how things progress with trailers. Not the little movie kind, the towed vehicle kind.

Quite a while ago ED added a few vehicles that were specifically tractor units. The other day I noticed that quite a few units that are technically trailers, like several AA guns, now appear in the limbered configuration in the encyclopedia at least (even though I believe the QF 3.7" has a few bits the wrong way around, but I might be mistaken).

That all leads me to the question: how is the progress on the system and can we expect to have usable trailers anytime soon? How is it going to work in the ME?

All WW2 artillery and AAA has implemented the Tow mode, but the towing ability has actualy none implemented on WW2. Has some WW2 tower tractors on axis and allied, but dont have the tow abilitiy.

Has actualy as some buided modern tow tractors, but missing fuel modern trailers.

Does 'implemented' mean that I can actual get those things towed by something? Even if the tractors are not period-correct? If so, how do I set it up?

I explained myself poorly, that's why I put it in quotes... the animations and everything else are done, but not all WW2 tractors have the towing functionality implemented. In fact, no object can be towed, because it seems like something is missing. No object with the towable ability appears in DC's World. Unfortunately, the connection points are missing.

I put tow examples about WW2, the M2A1 105mm artillery and the M1 37mm AAA. All have "conection points" to attach them to a tractor.

But, the only funtional tractors on DCS has.... some red tractors with a "attach/detach" funtionality, but missing all trailers. I think either that has been put on hold, or there is a property or functionality that has not been assigned to those towable elements.
