Comments will be premoderatedThis looks so incredible, cant wait to see more map-updates, as the maps are in my opinion the biggest graphical weakness for the game in its current state.
Some of them are really old, but you can be sure we are working hard to update old things in game to latest standards (same we do for example with vehicle models and cockpits).
All of them...man every time they add new graphics features i look at the trailers like a kid in the candy bag
If I don't change my graphics settings at all, will I notice any drop in my average FPS?
You should not.
Absolutely beautiful! Good job visual devs, proud of you folks!
All i can say is WOW, this is what a patch should be, a really Good Quality of Life Upgrade, Well Done Gaijin, Very Well Done!
Definitely one of the best updates yet to the game in my opinion. Great job Dev team ! Can we make walk around the hanger a from birthday a permanent feature?
It's Halloween special feature because of reason - it required special conditions in hangar and sadly cannot be implemented straight away in current, default hangar. But we see you like it and our team is working on the possible way to implement it. Cannot promise anything, but if it will be possible, we will implement it.
I love these updates. I hope the effect of vapor will spread and be updated to also appear on wings not just around fuselage area where wing joins. I havent seen such effect on the dev server. Facelif of map is such welcome. I am looking forward to this update and then immediately for the Xmas one! Fingers crossed for more map being updated in that update. PS: Could you update also pilot models in cockpit? The contrast of quality is showing its age with the newer cockpit models. Haha
We are working on updates for dated models, but I cannot say when/if all fo this will be updated (well, I guess yes, but cannot tell you specific date). Updating dated models means more or less creating them from scratch, and as you can imagine, it take a lot of time :(
Would the deformation of cars also work on buildings?
I do not think you can deform brick building like you deform steel cars. Many (like really many) of them are destructible and break if you use enough firepower (or tank heavy enough :) ).
I'm curious about the train-car movement. Has that already been implemented because on Flanders, around B point on Domination, I was able to push the train-cars around already. I was surprised because the update hasn't dropped yet
Nope. Right now you can for example push train cart on Ash River and it will drive down slowly from the hill (just a random example).
Just drop the update already pls, I NEED that Strike Eagle
Soon™
