I must have downloaded this, but are these packs necessary? Is it bad if I remove it?
They replaced all the texture packs this update aparently
I don’t think those pack are vital for game function, but I’m not sure, I don’t have High-res as on option on the normal WT client, it only has Min, Full and UHQ
So while you should be able to play I have no idea how bad the graphics might be, best to leave them until someone on steam gives you a better answer.
Pretty sure the step up from the full client to the full ultra HQ will be close to the high res packs on the steam client.
And no, they won’t be vital for the game and can likely be uninstalled, just be sure to verify the game library in steams library if anything goes awry.

You are probably right, I was looking at the WT launcher sizes and thinking that they where FAR bigger, but I just realized that is the total size while steam is just the texture pack size, once you subtract the full client from the UHQ they are much closer and the difference is probably the standard textures in the full client that get removed in the UHQ.
I just didn’t want @EpicChicken22 to uninstall them and end up with something like minimal, I use that on the Dev. server and it’s ok for testing, but I wouldn’t want to play like that full time.
so i should enable full texture for ground vehicles?
Yeah it was supposed to do that. My War Thunder decided to uninstall itself, then redownload itself with the new update at the same time.
It sounds like removing those packs will leave you with the standard texture packs, they are the steam equivalent of the ultra high quality on the WT launcher.
