I wanna create an antenna for my tank, but it shall be flexible. If the tank is driving, the antenna shall be moving like a real antenna.

Does anyone have an idea?

wouldn't do it via dynamics. just use 3-4 joints and either use ik handle or just connect the rot values frm the joints, so you only have to rotate one and the others take the value.

I would use a spline IK curve and make it a soft body. Then you can keyframe the root joint for general movement and then dynamics will handle the rest. Look in the docs for spline IK curve in soft body help. If you can't get it let me know.
