WAR THUNDER PRESENTS Update 1.77 “Advancing Storm”
“Advancing Storm” has brought us a new version of the Dagor engine - 5.0 and with it improved graphics, detailed landscapes and weather effects. Locations are more beautiful and realistic, the sounds are more impressive and we have added two dozen new vehicles including five tanks at the 6th rank: Т-64B, M1 Abrams, Challenger, Leopard 2K and AMX-30 Brenus.
Improved graphics and sound
We have greatly improved the graphics! The picture has become more voluminous and textured, the shadows now look more life like and on roads and tracks, after rain there are puddles and mud. Relief detailing has transformed the landscape diversifying the terrain already familiar to the eye and thanks to the new algorithm of smoothing and contact shadows; buildings, grass, foliage and other small details look even better.
Download the game to see it with your own eyes!
Be sure to listen to how cool the reworked sounds in the game are. Each shot is now collected from several sound "layers" so that the sounds of shots become more detailed.
New ground vehicles
The ground vehicles have been reinforced with some of the more iconic tanks from the 70’s and 80’s in the 20th Century : the Soviet T-64B, the American M1 Abrams, the British Challenger, the German Leopard 2K and the French AMX-30B2 Brenus. All of them are distinguished by great weapons, better armour, high speeds and mobility.
The T-64B is armed with a launcher for Cobra guided anti-tank missiles, and the AMX-30B2 Brenus is equipped with dynamic protection. The Leopard 2K is incredibly mobile, has a quick-firing cannon with an excellent stabilizer and will be able to cope with low-flying air targets thanks to a 20mm anti-aircraft gun. The legendary M1 Abrams, the ancestor of current modern US tanks, is becoming the new top of the American research tree. This machine has some of the most advanced military technologies available at the time including crew protection from ammunition fire. Often after an ammunition fire, the crew of the “Abrams” will be able to continue the battle - it’s fantastic!
By the way some of these vehicles are still in service with different nations.
New aircraft
The German He 177 Greif heavy bomber was created for our game by a player; Daniel Joy_Division__ Zaitsev, under the profit sharing program - Revenue Share. There is also the Martin M.B.5 - a great alternative for the late Spitfire in the British research tree, this will be one of the best prop fighters in the game. Additionally. a new Soviet top aircraft will be introduced with the La-200 which has two jet engines placed one after another.
In total in this update we have added 14 new and updated aircraft models.

Fantastic update, graphics, and optimitation. Great joob Gaijin !
Thumbs up to new graphics engine and new sound pak. Cheers
What happened to the Mk 103s? You ruined my He 219....
Sim air pilot here and despite the lack of realism hearing other aircraft from my closed cockpit, I think a good volume & distance compromise has been reached. Plus the sound files are vastly improved, thank you! On the negative, the old sound bugs (sometimes totally silent planes / guns) still exist but they are too random (non-replicatable) to get a bug report accepted.
1st, nice update. I don't like playing the top tier stuff but the sounds and graphics are nice. But here is the thing, I hope Naval NEVER comes out. Matchmaking is bad enough as it is without splitting the player base into another game mode. Getting tired of being up-tiered 1-1.4BR every match (tanks and planes).
I'm enjoying the new sounds but they at times sound a little..flat. The echo fades out so quickly, the sound doesn't travel over range very well and cuts out abruptly. Inside the tank is abnormally quiet from gunners view even when a round is fired. I can't put my finger on it or don't entirely understand since i'm no sound engineer but something feels lacking. As well its a bit odd the 50cals got new sound on ground vehicles but not in air. I'm hoping air gets improvements of their own soon.
So the new machine gun and cannon sounds don't apply to aircraft? If so, why not? :(
