Today we would like to tell you about the new effects of the influence of wind in the game environment of War Thunder - smoke, fire, sparks and dust.
The wind has already blown in locations of War Thunder, but before the release of the Winged Lions update, it could only be seen on the grass and on the waves. Now everything will be different! All particle effects, such as fires and smoke, dust from ground vehicles and aircraft engines, gun shots, explosions and sparks - all these effects will now be affected by the wind.
The wind in the game depends on the weather settings. The influence of wind effects is most noticeable during storms, but such weather is rare in War Thunder, and we are looking for a middle ground between a comfortable weather for playing and the beauty of the effects.
We are currently tweaking the weather settings to make the new wind effects more picturesque in the upcoming update. We will continue to make effects better in the following updates too, we have tons of ideas!

Ah come on though. Actual weather effects on vehicles when?!?!?!? I want to be able to kite my Ki 43 Hayabusa in strong head winds, cross winds, tail winds already....
Oh and we need turbulence and wake winds already ffs gaijin.
I wish you would make stormy weather less "rare". You can put weeks worth of playtime into this game without seeing a single drop of rain, let alone a storm. It would make things alot more interesting and add more value to features like this. Maybe even make a full weather system where every map has an even chance to be clear, light/heavy rain, snowy, sandstorms, etc depending on where it is geographically.
Very cool. However the graphics engine and effects department is LEAPS ahead of the physics and gameplay departments. You still have this patchfixed tank track traction thing where if the inclination changes theres like 100% difference in your traction. Its not even linear anymore the physics in the game have huge gaps. Its nice to see things seem to work realistically when your tank can't even drive anywhere near to what tanks drive. I know the people who made this aren't responsible forphysics
Beautiful! Love it!
