Destructive environments

As the title suggests, I believe we should have more destruction in the game. I mean, it’s cool we can run over concrete walls and destroy the occasional hut in Japan, but I crave more.

City maps are a bore and unrealistic. Like you’re telling me that dropping thousands of shells of artillery all over the map, with plenty of bombs, rockets, and rounds from various tanks, and the city is fine? No, it should be rubble, just like in real life. Plus it will make city maps more bearable for tanks that are not CQC centric, allowing other tanks to be able to do more than bait alley campers just to cross the road. I want to drop a bomb on a building and ruin people’s cover, just as real life intended.

Also, while we are allow it, allow planes and helicopters realistic crash physics, allowing buildings to fall if crashed into.

One of war thunder’s main selling points is how well optimised it is. You could run it on a toaster (albeit with slight FPS issues). As much as I’d like destructive environments, I don’t want to lose half the playerbase.

So true i tried to ran WT on my school PC that has like an i5 8500 with integrated graphic and it run 60fps +/- on low/lowest setting(also depends on map)
spaghetti codes helps after all

This is the main reason.

When they added the basic destruction for smaller buildings, it had huge performance issues even on the server side.

I remember when someone would bomb a group of buildings and the server would freeze for 5 seconds.

It’d be amazing to have but it would tank the game’s performance. War Thunder is INCREDIBLY well optimized considering all the content and beautiful graphics

I want better hidboxes and wallbangs. There is no way a wooden house or a pile of dirt stops a 120mm sabot.

There were plans for fully destructible maps but didnt come

I like the idea but like others, I’d have concerns about performance issues. I’d rather gaijin take some current maps, like Sun City, and do a destroyed/flattened version of it. Craters, rubble, burning destroyed buildings, collapsed bridges. Would also like to see the Sweden map destroyed as well. I think this would open up the gameplay options instead of just street to street brawling we see now.
