I think it is still there. I use it in APCs. Never used it in trucks.

Have you tried pushing "F" and then honking?

I think at the very least the British Logistics truck lacks a reverse honk. I always found it helpful in .85 when doing logistics.

Maybe it was removed for realism?

Is it even heard by other players? I thought it was only heard by the driver.

Yea I know the DEV's have more important things but couldnt you just map it to x? At least for apcs and Regular command trucks.

I use the same technique too. It works fine, indeed. Safety first.
