can someone tell me why they broke the C2A1 hull side armor appearantly doesn't exist and the ammo location inside the tank is broken :/
Nice, but cannot play because my PC cannot support =/
Unfortunately, my computer can not handle the new game engine, I loved playing this game on my laptop but the one I have can barely run war thunder before this updated and now the game crashes every time I launch it, really upset about this because i can't play this game which I love. this update looks amazing and hopefully one day i can play it when i get a new computer that can run this game.
Amazing improvements, guys, thanks a lot !!! Still, maybe u could dedicate some resources to revisit the netcode and hit detection algorithms design to mitigate all the well known issues data comms have. We all know those are issues we have to live with, but they are inherent to data carriers everywhere, ruining our game experience more and more as we connect farther from servers. Blaming ISP's doesn't solve anything for anybody...(cont)
(cont)... High ping and packet loss are the bane of online gaming, punishing faraway players the most, so we have lag spikes and fps hiccups, and all those things turn battles in an annoying experience, specially air ones doesn't "flow". Then algorithms should be more reliable. There's much written about it... maybe implementing some redundant data and things like that. Just thinking here, to keep this wonderful combat simulator accessible to everybody in this growing playerbase. Thanks.
