Gaijin usually releases more than two graphic/visual effect features/updates at a time, so I wonder what they may (hopefully) be planning to bring along with Ray Tracing, apart from the neat plane vapor thing…

I mean, I know the point of War Thunder’s graphics being actively held back is to allow the game to run on a pregnancy test, but it would be cool for the rest of us to have some nice graphics updates! Ideally even a new engine iteration.

well raytracing can vary massively on how intensive it is

101

Yep! That’s why I don’t know what to expect…

From what I can see on Google, it can range from slightly better reflections to much better overall enviornments. I hope we get the latter!

102

well it would only have 6 hardpoints with r-77’s and mabye the astra which is an indigenous bvr missile kinda like a modern r27 as it has a ir version but also fox 3

well the indians use the su-30 as well with a mix of russian, western and indigenous wepons

105

Don’t make me giddy : P lol

106

well they also use the Rafale so rafale in the uk tree

107

I know just that the F/A-18 would be much more cheaper to C&P over hence why I’m being realistic.
Plus there no Indian tech tree vehicles yet as they are filling that premium Squad and event space.

Legacy Hornets could reasonably go to UK (through Canada or Australia) , Sweden (through Finland), Germany (through Switzerland) and Italy (through Spain) in addition to the US.

With that much availability, it’s really more of a question of how to balance them against Soviet equivalents rather than the Gripen.
