White Rock Fortress makes a return to the game after 4 years! This beloved map has received a hefty visual upgrade and has been rebuilt in some areas, but the familiar navigation we all know has remained largely the same.
Ardennes has been visually updated and rendered in modern graphics standards with a wealth of fine detail. The original layout has remained the same.
One of the key changes was the support for an animated height map for water effects. This allows the geometric shape of the water to change according to the needs of each effect, such as a bullet cutting through the water's surface, a bomb explosion, the wake from a torpedo slicing through water, or even a raindrop disturbing the mirror-like water surface. This effect is procedural, meaning it literally deforms the surface mesh, creating a sense of tangible depth even in static frames.
We’ve got more details about the new effects in a dedicated dev blog here, check it out!
There’s plenty more to see!

Yay the water graphics are going to decrease my FPS to 20 yippee
It should not, give it a try. It looks gorgeous!
After 10 minutes of gampeplay, everything seems good. Except... the graphics. Why did you have to ruin the graphics? It's not even realistc, it's a disaster. The Sun is like a supernova again, and if it's light hits the instruments in a planes cocpit, the instruments are nearly black... Just why?
are you using the direct X12 or X11 grafic engine ? since im installing the update right now
I looked trough the changes and i still dont understand why it wont let me enter the game, like the game was good before the update
