New clouds for air battles
In War Thunder update 1.89 “"Imperial Navy” we are improving the clouds in aircraft battles at high graphical settings.
Hello everyone!
We are getting ready for War Thunder update 1.89 “Imperial Navy” - it will be introduced very soon. Today we want to show you how clouds will change in aircraft or helicopter battles at the graphical settings “Movie” and “Max”. Technically, our developers have been able to increase the integration steps for clouds rendering by 4 times whilst avoiding visible FPS changes.
New clouds for air battles will appear in the game with update 1.89 “Imperial Navy”. To see the new clouds, you have to switch graphical settings to “Movie” or “Maximum”, or have SSAO enabled to maximum.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white, The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night, And I think to myself what a wonderful world;
Suddenly, German fighters!
Sadly the skies are filled with hostiles though :(
this was surprisingly highly asked for, nice work on listening to peoples feedback!
Actually people asked for bug fixes in aircraft on ULQ (they work correctly in tanks, but not in aircraft), not high/movie settings...

This is actually really good to see Gaijin. Please continue making smaller quality of life changes like this to Air RB and make it great again.
After 7 years some graphical improvements would be nice
We had an engine update in October 2015 and February 2018 :3 (Global illumination, TAA, texture streaming...). Our devs keep working on the engine, but it's a lot of work!
All answers (2)Ouiche, Dont worry... your game looks great.... i run it with movie setting and it is awsome
Stop playing on ULQ than m8
All answers (2)TheAntiAirGuy, Maybe they are saving performance so it can be spent on thermal vision for tanks :D
Looks very nice, I have to say
Looks very flat. Like not all the clouds are this flat. Also its just the same thing but more blurry. Improvement I guess.
All answers (1)Nomadic_Warrior, Have to agree, the older version looks realistic, it has choppy, shows cloud stepping, and seems more like it should be with puffy and whispy, but then, I dont play "movie" I dont even watch it on DVD :P
Finally, I see that the devs are willing to listen to the community and change major things. Also since the japanese heavy fighter was added, when can we expect the F8 and it's adversaries.
OMG, this is literally the best Devblog ever!!!
and this is you best comments
