Continuing the highlighting of some of the new features in our Dagor Engine 5.0 graphical engine, that we are planning to present to War Thunder players in update 1.77. In today's devblog in connection with the new Dagor Engine 5.0, we would like to talk about two visual features: weather and environmental effects.
Rain effects
We have improved rain and rain water effects. Now raindrops will leave ripples on puddles and water surfaces. As well as that, streams of rain water will now flow down and across surfaces - stones, pavement, roofs and walls:
Layered fog
In update 1.77, our new graphical engine Dagor Engine 5.0 will bring fog and smoke effects to the game. Depending on the weather, fog can appear over rivers and lakes, and in valleys and fields. We have tried to make the fog effect as photo realistic as possible, the fog itself looks three-dimensional, has layers and a visual depth – in other words, it’s very similar to real fog.
Incidentally, in the future fog may influence gameplay – for example, by hiding the advance of an assault group of tank

Dynamic clouds and sun
Clouds and sun in our game now have their own life. Clouds move across the sky and don’t just hang in place. The sun also moves from East to West in an astronomically correct way, according to the date and time of a battle and geographical latitude of a location.
We plan to implement these changes after update 1.77 is released.

How big will the performance impact be if you were to keep settings at max before and after update?
Hi guys,is it going to be cpu/gpu demanding? or you figure a way to keep it less hungry in ressources?
I almost feel sorry for the people who can't afford a good PC. My rig runs War Thunder in 4k already with 150+ fps, these are the kind of updates I like the most. We already have a great game. So much negativity around performance-impact, if your rig couldn't run War Thunder other than on LOW setting before, you won't be able to play on anything other than LOW still. In fact, if my suspicions are right Dagor 5 will introduce a better API which will improve your performance, and not reduce.
Great to see the graphics becoming more realistc, so when does the game actually becomes realistic tank battles then?
This game gets more and more amazing. The love put into it is definitely respectable!
Does this mean that they actually will put in different weather conditions for tank battles?
I really like it! I hope that there will be more changes of this type. Keep up the good work!
There's rain in this game? I don't think I've ever seen it before.
Haha only thing is no matter when or where you shoot, you suddenly cannot see.
This looks absolutely amazing. You're the best Gaijin!
