I do hope more Heli for France, pretty lacking here too.
Without talking about the fact that ~1 year ago China got 2 French helicopter that France still don’t have.

By additions, I mean researchable ones, not ones locked behind paywalls. I mean… it’s not like most of us can throw 70 bucks in the game every time they add a Top Tier Premium just to get to play the only new Top Tier MBTs they’ve added this year (leaving aside 2A7HU) xD.
I would love to get Al-Khalid! It’s just way out of my budget at the present time, hahahah. One day.
Well they have opened that box, if they ain’t gonna give Germany it’s own tech or release the sub then that the only road
I wish this airfield got arresting gear/wire. Imagine the pain of traveling all of the new airfield because you got no drag chute lol 😂
I knew it was looking bleak for ground but since Sky Guardians in march 2023 they’ve added 9 top tier MBTs, 6 in a single update (Air Superiority). Of those 9, one isn’t top tier anymore and 5 were worse than their predecessor. In the same time period, Gaijin has added 33 top tier jets, not counting CAS like the F-111F, AV-8B+, etc…
Accroding to the trailer ,war thunder seems to have ray tracing now. But what GPU it needs to run ray tracing? I only have a RX 7600M XT :(
Wait- do you think the visuals of the trailer will be the new ingame ones!? I thought that was video editing post-processing!
if it really is the case, the new graphics will be my favourite part of this update!
Also- RX 7600M XT can run ray tracing nicely :D
The vapour trails what i guess they’ll be like in game, and the afterburner, I think they mentioned improvements, but i cant recall specifically, and yes will have ray-tracing. Though I cant use it unfortunately
Gaijin always use ingame visuals in trailers iirc.
Thing is, ever since the leak, I wondered to which extent this would be noticeable.
In some games, ray-tracing is barely noticeable, only on reflections; in others, as seems to be the case in War Thunder, it’s an absolute upgrade…
I am so hyped about that possibility now!!!
The most significant improvement by ray tracing is the water reflection.without ray tracing, water cannot reflects things that aren’t in your screen.

Reflections… oh! working mirrors, please.
For ground at least. I think the are modelled in air, but if not they need them too.

Because the US (and Russia) have the largest playerbases, and usually their stuff can go into multiple trees because of how much they export, so it’s really easy for Gaijin to justify adding in at least one variant of an already implemented vehicle each update to keep the majority of the playbase on the grind.
Germany should never get an F-15, at that point Gaijin would, and should give them an Argentinian F-16.
I feel it’s a bit more complicated then just that. While, yes, the minor nations getting more shit would help them, there are a few factors that mean that the US will always have the bigger playerbase, notably having one of the largest populations, most of which has a lot of disposable income, and chances are, most of them are going to main the US. The US also has hands down the greatest number of iconic aircraft, as well as the most iconic aircraft. That’s not to say that other nations don’t have iconic or good aircraft, but it is really hard to compete for iconicity when the US is the biggest source of media and entertainment in the world, and what is probably the second (Japan) uses a lot of US kit, especially when it comes to aircraft. It doesn’t matter how fleshed out GB’s tech tree is if everyone wants to LARP as Tom Cruise or fly what is widely considered the greatest air superiority fighter artificed by man.
This all isn’t to say that the minor nations not getting as many toys doesn’t contribute to the problem, but it isn’t the sole issue people seem to make it out to be.
If they aren’t going to give Germany something one of their subtrees, like Switzerland or Argentina, used, there is no way they are going to give Germany an F-15G or what have you, especially as Germany’s air situation is nowhere near as bad as Japan’s was at the time.

If Gaijin finally fixes shell rooms, I will personally travel to their HQ to give each and every single one of the devs a herculean kiss in the face.
The mismodelling of these has such negative impact on gameplay across so many vessels…
