Meet the “Storm Warning” Major Update!

@Ub3rshadow
Content isn’t made for specific major updates.
Content is made throughout the year, and ready content gets released in major updates when they’re ready.

Current game modes were designed in 2017 BTW.

Well the Eurofighter and Rafale, which weren’t made for the specific Storm Warning major update where they feature front and centre on the promo images, clearly weren’t ready. Or the M44, which can clip into all sorts, or the PzH 2000 with its reload, or the RDF/LT with its comical amount of inaccuracies that a certain content creator lost their mind over.

Air HB was a thing in 2013. The game mode’s hardly been changed since then all things considered, aside from adding some ground targets, making bases respawn and making airfields invulnerable. It’s the same gameplay loop.

Don’t forget about the M44 not having any rear or top collision.

M44’s bugs were all fixed within a day.

Doesn’t change that they happened. This update was the fifth or sixth this year I think? And it came out less than a month after the previous one. There’s no shame in admitting it was rushed, but Gaijin needs to do better. Releasing over half a dozen premiums just before Christmas alongside broken vehicles - in both bugs and balance - is a shameful cash grab.

Bugs happen every major update, no exceptions.
And content still isn’t made FOR updates, updates are named after ready content.
Typhoon was ready. A new bug appeared on live server only [ground bug], but never showed up on dev.

theres a major difference, of being able to just use the mechanic instantly and having to grind to it, which frankly with all these things is heavily discouraging to any normal human being

You have to grind out a tech-tree vehicle in a grind-based game? Wow, colour me shocked.

Where skin trophy crate tho?

Anyone else has the problem that Helicopter´s arent reacting to Collective/Yaw/Pitch/Roll manipulation while in gunnersight?

Update: ok there is already a bugreport:

Where is AH-64D on PS5?

It was here the first day but until I make the decision to buy it it’s gone…

Oh so i wasn’t crazy,i swear when i enter the gunner sight with hover mode active and the perfect collective,the helicopter just starts to swing to a side without touching any inputs,it is so infuriating

Anyone dealing with massive frame rate drops?

I used to run 150-170 a few days ago at max setting with my i9 13950hx and 4080… now ima ruffling for 115, and constantly drop to 80 on menial tasks in game.

This is appalling, anyone else affected?

Only in tanks.

  • 3rd person bad performance and wrong LOD distances. Distant objects very blury. Geometry shimmering.
  • In binoculars stable 144FPS and correct LOD distance. Distant objects are sharp. No geometry shimmering.

In planes on the same maps stable 144FPS and correct LOD distance.

But IDK… since Firebirds it´s like they fiddle with graphics every other day. One day I have sharp stable client, but the game has gamma set way too high and there´s alot of bloom. Other days I have gama low but the image is very desaturated. Some days my drivers hang alot. Other days everything is blury and LOD texture pop distances are like 20 meters, which is extra noticable when you have a Nvme/SSD drive. Yesterday when I played, tracers were back to being close to invisible like before Firebirds.

No other games do that mind you, I only have issues with War Thunder. I also made a fresh instal with Firebirds.

Yeah I’m running baulders gate with zero issues. However, I just did a nova benchmark test since I posted this and it says my razors power consumption is well below expected average which is really weird.

Have to start investigating, because I’m not seeing any issues on games and settings, but my benchmark results are now off. Showing my clock speed down too.

Do you know where I can read and learn about this stuff to try and diagnose?

I’m a plug and play person, but since my benchmark results are off after only 3 months from the last one, I’m a little concerned. Though it still ranks my system at 5020 score and says I’m higher than 99% of systems tested. Maybe low power draw is from laptop vs desktop idk.

No need to panic. If other games are running fine, you don´t get sudden restarts and crashes, then your system is fine.

If you want to look more into your system diagnostics, I recommend:

  • AIDA64 Extreme (paid and detailed)
  • TPU GPUZ (free but limited)

Thank you very much
