wow!!! looking forward what we will see in the future !! war thunder the best WW2 game at all
always nice to see better graphics
I definitely like the increased clarity of tracer fire and the increased intensity of the flames! Good work!
I can imagine it becoming easier to aim the turrets in bombers with the new and clearer tracers too.
nice job guys. Don't really notice much on the Spitfire, but do on the AAA and the flames.
You will have the chance to see it soon :)
Longer tracers
Dam, looks amazing, except for my current computer will never see anything that great. Hopefully by the first week of October my new one will be ready and able to play around max settings :D
Looks beautiful! Gaijin never fails to impress! Please release the update soon... I want to take that giant German floatplane into the Floats! event!!
Thanks guys always nice to see Graphic improvements & little touch's & stuff well done like always! :)
do the fire effect changes apply to aircraft fires as well as ground vehicles ?
Yes, all vehicle fires :)
Smin1080p, I wonder, does this change in flame appearance impact jet engine exhaust and rockets too?
Dem Tracers... Add x-wing pls
Sadly X-Wing is just slightly out of the games timeframe :(
Just wait a few updates. I mean the timeframe gets larger and larger anyway.
Not sure how it would work, or if it would make capping points and blocking roads a pest, but when people are killed in tanks. would be nice if the tank would remain ingame, use it like a blockade or shield .
yes please!
It´s a good idea, but the problem is, that it would make the game for players who play with "minimum and low" graphics unplayable. A.k.a big performance loss.
