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!

Am I the only one that irritated how gaijin usually uses quotes from good movies or lyrics pieces from good songs to make the reader happy before they read the article, so they wont leave with a negative piece of mind about gaijin when they leave. I understand and accept that it's very effective, but feels scammy to me.
But to react to the article itself: "Doesn't really matter to me".
Yes, you are the only one irritated by that. What a weird thing to care about.
The presentation looks super cool. We'll see how it plays.. Was this feature available in the dev server?
I want my bi plane to stay still in the air XD The way the wind blows truly a helicopter.
bring V tol for france plz something french too not some coppy from other nations like israel Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V
But did French have any VTOL aircraft which aren't prototypes like Mirage IIIV and Balzac V?
we need the clear day not the wind or rainy day
Very nice, sand storms and flying trees coming next? maybe a Tornado?
Lol, now you even bother with the wind after taking care that dirt can be moved around, which is as far as I know still weird and buggy. I wonder when will be the major update taking care of the very bad sun - meaning one side in ground rb sometimes can not see a thing whilest the other side is not affected. I had such a battle just yesterday again. Its really bad if you play against the sun... so pls fix this before bringing in other weather and physics into the game.
The Game strive to be realistic and accurate while balancing the fun and playability. No one wants a tank transmission that break down by itself. Same for the SUN and weather, it does affect battle in real life and field commander plan accordingly. When sun is in effect, you should move your armors and planes to use it or lessen the disadvantage.
cool
When will the update end?
How about temperature effects for altitude? Bomber crews didn't have those heavy suits in the summer for no reason.
