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!

Great update gaijin well done! would be lovely to fix the sound for planes as well , war thunder started out as planes not tanks
Pre-ordered Magach 3 in garage, next stop the M1 Abrams, this thing will make the grind much easier, plus its a fun tank
Enjoy!
Stona_WT, I will be sure to Stona, and I have now played a few games in it, the Magach is quite good in ambush positions within forested areas and hull down positions, only real downside I have had with it is the lower plate, but its forgivable enough that its a good vehicle in the hands of a capable commander.
Loving the update, but i'd honestly prefer it if you just spent a bit more time fixing broken aspects of the game, i.e. almost every battle rating of all jet planes in the game.
If it is every jet plane then it is unlikely to be the BR! :) As for the fixing 'broken aspects' did you actually read the Changelog? https://warthunder.com/en/game/changelog/current/798 Maybe you should! :)
Gees I have high speed cable net and one computer is going on 9 hours, the other 6 hours and only 25% loaded. Sometimes as slow as 0-8 bytes not MB or KB's! How long does this take with a 50 mb high speed? Will I need a new graphics card? It's screwing up my business because I cannot open windows as it's actually hampering EVERYTHING. This day is cooked. I cannot use anything. I guess this will take 2 more days? Hello is there anyone out there?
Limit the upload speed in the launcher (eg to 30 or 50kb) and see if it improves the download rate. To some degree it is limited by your connection type and sometimes the plan that you maybe on with your ISP. I live in Australia and the update took about 15 minutes for me. There are ways that you can improve things but we would need to know more. If you would like to drop me a PM I can discuss it further. Cheers
Gaijin i know it must take a long time but any news on italian tanks i am very excited for this
Soon™ :)
All the people complaining about "slow" download speeds of 200 or 300 kb/s. Meanwhile Im chilling in Iraq with 60 kb/s anytime, anywhere, for anything. Dont realize what you have till you lose it folks.
still faster than Australia :D
Firehound6264, 19Mb/s from Bris...
downloaded it in like 5 mins but every time i try starting, the window just closes itself and doesn't start up? anyone know whats happening?
Please submit report here > https://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/587-connection-and-update-issues/ With more information we should be able to help. Check the Windows Mode that you are using. Windowed or Full Screen. Thanks
FYI since update 1.77 game crashes right after I press the Play button on Mac using Metal Render. Already started a moderated bug report.
Yeah I'm getting this too using a Mac. Slightly frustrated.
Im having the same issue so i reported it to the forum because i cant play or launch it on MAC before it closes
Its great that this game is making progress, but I would rather see updates to gameplay than eyecandy and even more vehicles which most of the players will never get to unlock due to the excessive grind. None of key gameplay elements have changed at all in years, we routinely play the same maps, and the SB Air community it seems have been totally left behind by the rest of the game. Are there plans to add new gametypes in the future?
Please lodge your Suggestions here > http://forum.warthunder.com/index.php?/forum/611-suggestions/
Game is completely disbalanced now.
How? At what level? Which mode. If it is everything, then look for the common denominator.
