Where did Skip bombing go?
For anyone that doesn't know this, you can skip bombs across water which was a real tactic done during World War 2.
In War Thunder realistic naval there used to be people that used to skip bombs, but now it feels like it's disappeared.
It's a very good strategy because it avoids the classic weaknesses of dive bombing or lining up a torpedo hit.
Does anyone know where the strategy went?

Urban Combat Medium Tank
Development History
By late 1943, the armies of the Skeldmark had learned a brutal lesson: modern cities were killing tanks faster than enemy armor.
Heavy breakthrough tanks became trapped in narrow streets. Light tanks lacked survivability. Conventional medium tanks suffered catastrophic crew losses from:
hidden anti-tank teams,
and close-range side attacks.
Entire armored battalions disappeared in the fighting around:
Karsen,
Velis Port,
and the infamous Six-Day Battle of Farewell City.
Tank crews began improvising:
welding spare plates onto roofs,
removing hull machine guns for extra ammunition and transmission access,
and mounting additional observation optics wherever possible.
The War Ministry realized existing doctrine was outdated.
A new requirement was issued in February 1944:
“Develop a medium armored vehicle specifically optimized for combat in dense urban terrain the M2UC1A.
