Competition “A new look”!
Now, a new perspective on the game is given to you. View the game from all angles, because we have introduced NVIDIA Ansel support! This mechanics allow you to make the most incredible and impressive screenshots directly from the epicentre of the battle. You only need the GeForce Experience application and a graphic card that supports this technology.
The simple and convenient mechanism of Ansel allows you to pause time in the battle replay and make a screenshot from any point on the battlefield. Look into the cannon barrel of an enemy tank or just take a look at the world from the wing of your fighter, everything is possible! Especially impressive will be screenshots from the coast or those that are taken from the battle over the ocean. Thanks to the already integrated to War Thunder NVIDIA WaveWorks technology, waves and reflections on the water looks beautiful and realistic.
Ansel not only allows you to choose an interesting perspective, but also rework the image by the use of the integrated filters or changing individual settings: brightness, contrast, sketch effect and other settings. Also you can change the point and angle of view and make 3D panoramas which you will be able to watch on your smartphone or in a VR helmet.
Watch Ansel at work in the competition “A new look” and win Golden Eagles and premium vehicles!
You need to publish your creations in Facebook with the hashtag #ThisisWarThunder!

If you do not have Ansel compatible GPU (And you do not want to buy it right here, right now ;) ), you can always participate in our regular Screenshot Competition on Forum: https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/topic/336891-war-thunders-top-screenshots-of-the-month-competition-november/
Nice one, I was literally trying to see if this feature was in War Thunder a few days ago and now here it is!
So do not waste time, jump in to game, create screenshot and try to win some GE and premium vehicle!
Stona_WT, Hi ! I have a question: How can i hide everything in the replays ? (I know, you never answer to me, but i still hope...)
When i seen nvidia i was hopeing WT would be getting some decent Anti aliasing like smaa or txaa but nope. When you guys going to add that? We the community been asking for years for?
Well, they're both really really taxing on your PC... But it would be cool
Dncmaster, they are both less taxing then fxaa which we currently have and they do a better job.
Cool! I would try this, but I am stuck with an old Radeon graphics card unfortunately, good luck to all the contestants!
You can still participate in our regular screenshot contest! More info on our forum!
Same dude, I have an old AMD....
thanks to Ansel you can finally take a closer look to the vehicles in your hangar
my laptop have an AMD video card... RIP me and my hopes for free golden eagles...
Same as SgtSully, feel free to jump on our forum and check our regular competition for screenshot! Prizes are not so big, but still nice :)
Could you please increase/improve the scalability of the HUD so we can play at much higher resolutions? Especially the crosshair and the symbols of the tactical map are hardly distinguishable at a 5K resolution. :/
Too bad you need to post to Facebook to enter.
well I got AMD... soooo goodbye challange.
I personnally don't really care about the challenge (~) What pisses me off is that they make the choice of a great feature to be working only on a few hardwares ! That's freaking nonsense ! It is applyable on a larger scale than being Nvidia-restricted. Right, AMD's devs don't do much things interesting in this game (TressFX, etc), but please don't use proprietary in a free to play game. The idea to be able to do such screenshots (360° etc) is awesome. Don't make it only for 40-70% players.
Darn it. Cant Participate. While having a Geforce GTX... the card is too old, so it isn't compatible... Good luck to everyone in the Contest!
I don't want to compete even though I'm eligible. Is there a way to vote for the finalists? Also, is there a separate competition between Ground Forces, Air and Sea?
