In my opinion, I think there’s an issue with the rendering in general, becuase in my experience, i’ve noticed that dots become bigger when not zoomed out, and then when you zoom in they magically become smaller somehow

For some extremely weird reason, they don’t even appear on the radar, especially premium aircraft which means that if this affects everyone, some planes simply stop being registered in the client or the server is hiding them.
also loss of detail.
Not gonna lie there are much better sim games that you’d find better use for that
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
Everyone if you can, go and add to the “You have same issue” button on the bug here:
https://community.gaijin.net/issues/p/warthunder/i/o3JmuNOpDOtj
If we’re lucky Gaijin may finally look into the contacts disappearing when zooming in/out that has been plaguing sim forever.

Supposedly not an issue ;)
Support replied (and closed the ticket):
I checked again this situation Community Bug Reporting System , and see that in this case aircraft with green camo on green background. Not looks like error.
there is a change compared to the previous patch, but but thanks to the change, many aircraft became better visible in such cases, and they became more detailed.
If there are any situations that are not similar to this, please file a separate report. With screenshots/video and a replay, and preferably wtr.
if possible. Thank you.
So if anyone finds a good situation to clarify the report, please feel free to open a new ticket.
I couldn’t find a perfect situation to record it, I must confess it have noticed it less lately, but I am convinced it is still there, also other people have talked to me about it during matches.
Remember to post the link to the report here to check if its the same we are experiencing and support the ticket.
Best regards,

That is some weapons grade BS.
I think we should talk with Catwerfer, he’s organizing something to help everyone with the HE shell problem, maybe if we help him, he can help us organize some support for this issue.

The bug with rendering enemy aircraft has returned. In various situations, enemy planes render at a distance of less than 8–12 km.
Look, the dot becomes invisible at around 11 km.

Just try 55" 4K tv as monitor.
Visibility is perfect at all distances. You can see the trucs in the bases… You can see the the skin of the planes 1 kilometer wide. And the best part - your cockpit have the dimensions of a real one in front of you. Like you are really in.
It took me 10 years to discover this.
No. I play in VR, the visibility is garbage.
After some testing with setting in training flights, I think the visibility issue is related to weather conditions. I see that weather conditions like HAZY, THUNDERCLOUDS, CLOUDY, LOW CLOUD COVER, seem to cause the disappearing issue.
Note that this isn’t players diving into cloud cover, but instead I think the rendering engine when clouds and hazy conditions are enabled, make the planes blend into the background much more than they should. For example, I can see dots from miles out, but when the issue occurs, I will have planes at dogfighting range, just “fade out” into the background even when I’m directly looking right at them. It’s really odd. Then I will often re-aquire them at medium-long distance.
When weather conditions are clear, I can spot planes razor sharp at all distances, from dots, to up close.
There are bots flying in the test flight mode. In simulator battles, the visibility of bots is fine.
I’ve also noticed what you described sometimes, but player rendering works completely differently.
Try playing a custom battle with someone, preferably using an aircraft equipped with radar, and see how it looks.
In my case, the player’s aircraft rendered at around 8–10 km.

I can never see anything in half the patches. U have to play on a completely different resolution just to make the dots easier to see. Sucks it still this way since 2015. (e.g 4k to 1440p)

does this problem continue? because right now its almost impossible for me to spot enemies by eye without radar. last year i used to spot enemies with black dots on the distance, now i don’t see anything. this sucks tbh
it had so much fun years ago on sim battles and this way of spotting enemies was usefull.
For me spotting is working better than ever, at 12km or similar I see the dot.
Identification is harder than in past updates, but at least they render a dot for me allways.
I play in VR with PSVR2
tonight i confirmed its not working properly at least for me, i was chasing a radar signal with my EF2000 then the jet just rendered when i entered a 2km distance or something like that, i was very close and saw it pop up from nowhere.
Today i continue to play and yet can’t spot anything without radar, i dont see any black dot and the reason its they dont render for some reason. the bug reports its still there
I miss having pvp and spotting dots in the distance
(any idea if there is a graphic option that tweaks this?)
Nope. There isn’t. I’ve heard it might be related to the anti-cheat or just the game’s spaghetti code.
According to experiences from several players, Ki-84 and A6M seem to be frequently not rendered at a distance 2-5km, in a head-on & below aspect. This made them to be extremely effective to bounce opponents without been detected.
