New clouds for air battles
Attention! Outdated news format. Content may not display correctly.
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.

And now please add more realistic engine smoke, and make ESS come out of the actual tank exhaust, rather than appearing behind you.
Finally, German heavy bombers! I have been waiting for new additions to my collection in the Luftwaffe! THANK YOU GAIJIN
Pleeeaaaaaaaaaaaassseeeee add vehicle lights because i cannot begin to explain how many times i smashed the ground hard from landings because of how blind they can be :(
Pretty much looks the same to me tbh.
Thanks for adding this. It’s good to see clouds no longer disappearing and reappearing as you fly toward them.
So if you play with High setting, you will not see anything new... I still waiting for the new jet flames what will be available for premium users only.
You will be able to set it up with custom settings, so you can leave all your settings on same level as you have now, and put clouds on max quality .
Nice to see, now just to sort out the graphical bugs like stuff not rendering in ULQ so players dont have a distinct advantage and were all set
looks worse I was hoping for far fewer clouds
Please let us pre-load the update , it was a great feature.
Also Those clouds looks amazing.
This is cool but are you aware of the bug with ULQ settings where other players' planes completely disappear when they have clouds behind them, even if the clouds are many km away? This happens for all planes and even parts of hillsides and trees when they are further than 0.75km away. I can't run the game in anything higher than ULQ and because of this bug I really can't play air RB and especially can't fly planes in tank RB where there are no markers. Please help by passing this on. Thank you
