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.
There are many other features in update 1.77 “Advancing Storm”! Download and play it now!

No matchmaking balancing, 10 x 5.0 crews vs 3 x 3.0 crews is a thing. Bombers repel new players 10km above spawn fighting NPC targets. Complete joke. A pay-to-win game in 2018 is hilarious, I spent $4k+ on other games, this one is a bad investment = $0.00. Spawn camping due to imbalance, and pay-to-win = bye bye players. Gaijin should learn from other free titles, pay-to-win is a good way to kill a game. Greed. Bad developement. 1/10 Rating. Copy pasting all over steam and social media. Good day
You have played 328 games and have only 4 level 3 planes. 326 of those games are in Arcade and only 2 in RB. The essential facts are that you aren't experienced enough to really understand how BRs work (you are confusing tier involvement in the MM) and think buying a premium vehicle gives some kind of advantage. They don't. They only allow you to grind faster. Therefore your comments are not fair and balanced. Overall, this was an excellent update due to sound and graphic improvement.
*SiamSmile, Ran out of space... part 2... INB4 the comments above are challenged... sure some notable premiums when first released did offer an advantage, but once the stats were released, the BRs changed or vehicle nerfed in some way or another (think of BV and IS6 here). The BV isn't the awesome gunship that it once was, I know, I get killed in it all the time now.
Thanks for this beautifull update.... for windows users. Rest of the plebs using linux and macs arent so fortunate. What we got is performance reduced by 50-75% and black blotches on terrain. Now i know why there wasnt any dev server for linux. Shadows broken on linux for year or more, grass looks like crap, no antialiasing of trees etc and now this... Every new relase is a middle finger raised higher and higher towards linux users. Keep it up Gaijin!!!
Amazing, you put new graphic engine in, and still there is no weather changes at all. Where is the rain? Fog? If I'm wrong correct me, war cant chose weather. It is all the time sunshine. Perfect world is boring. Think about it. I love the game, but still, if you offer DAGOR for us, let this engine works.
18 hours updating right now and still continuing to download... for the next 2 hours. This is just ridicolus.
this update looks awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! will you add modern fighter jets in the future? please reply!
Now that the He-177 is in the game, it shouldn't belong until the Ju-287 Jet Heavy bomber is added to the game as promised in 2014, hopefully.
I am sad. Graphics are after using TAA rather blurry. Fw 190D and Ta 152 have a rudder problem (now they are unmanageable after the improvements). Still waiting in vain for an Italian tank tree and other aircraft. :-(
Many crashes - 4 in 2,5 hours tonight - moderator left message to report but the game says it has reported them successfully. I will try in Bugs section but recent error is 39fa20c1-d1E5-4865-b733-5cd882180316
All of my customisations were reset with the update :(
What happened to aviation customisation?
