I play with grass off because wild grass is not that long.
I play with all my graphics pumped up high (have 5800X3D + 9070XT @ 1440p, so my FPS is very high), but I do turn off grass in sight. I would rather they enabled it for everyone, but as long as people can disable it, it’s the one setting that I feel would put me at too much of a disadvantage to enable.
I’m not entirely convinced as I still die on occasion to being cross-mapped through concealment at an angle that Mk1 eyesballs really wouldn’t see. It could be ULQ or it could be someone is genuinely cheating. Tough to tell, honestly.
I just think grass, as well as speed of sound, should just not be togglable at all.
If someone wants to play in low settings or ULQ, then let them have really low resolution grass; but grass, regardless.

Much like playing with sniper sight from gunner view or whatever its called. Id love to have it enabled, but so few others do that to do so is a major handicap. One reason I quite like GSB as it forces that mode for everyone

ULQ feels like such an exploit. Yeah, shouldnt remove assets just make them look terrible

I’m sure at least 70% of the people who claim that they need to remove grass “so they can run War Thunder” would “unexpectedly” turn out to be able to perfectly run grass even on Movie settings.
Yep.
Despite all its issues. War Thunder is actually a very well optimised game that runs really well. Even on Potatos they probably dont need ULQ for a playable FPS

Yep! Specially now, with upscaling and frame generation.
You’d have to be running the game on a pregnancy test not to be able to run it with grass.

But until then i gonna keep it on off cuz its a big disadvantge

Depends
Some maps are smooth and some are nightmare
especially some of the reworked ones
But they probably would still run fine at a low settings and not necessarily require the full ULQ
No they arent
Advance to the rhine and attica are fps drops hell
And im on low graphics its just something is bugged in thos maps
Also wish you couldn’t adjust your own engine sound separately.
Tuning engine sound for everyone equally? Sure. I keep stuff quiet myself as I dont like loud noises, but making it a de facto requirement to reduce realism in realisitc or even worse: simulator battles to gain advantage over others is just plain absurd.
As for graphics and potatoes:
Warthunder 9 years ago looked amazing and had more detail (plane damage models/decals, especially canopy hits) than it does now so…

Yeah agreed.
Not to mention that engine sounds are still bugged. Somehow a Jagpz 4-5 was able to slip right behind my Pershing last night and I didn’t even hear him when I should’ve been able to despite my own engine.
I play on absolute maximum graphics possible but have considered turning the grass off. It puts you at such an unfair disadvantage compared to the sweats who turn everything to minimum.

I pump the volume because it really does make a different in ground. Amount of people you catch off guard just from hearing them shoot or their engine. Hopefully I don’t damage my hearing with the damn Falcon’s 30mm dakkadakka.

OFF. It’s the only cheapness I allow myself while having everything else max or near max. Sometimes I go and put it back on, but some maps the gunner’s sites are near useless in locations where you really need them so I turn it back off.
I’ve been playing with it on for years now, it’s not that much of a hindrance anymore now that shells have somewhat of a volume.
