Now, everyone knows the wing vapor you see in top tier jets (MiG-29 or F/A-18C), and since Heavy Calvary rolled out, should the next update (Not a major update!) Have better wing vapor FX?
Like this wing vapor FX in Metalstorm:

Gajin, please take notes.
I sure hope they are working on them, it’s been almost 2 years since they were added, but they are very low quality tbh.
Like we need vapor like THAT, the wing vapor in war thunder is just fuzzy balls of mist, we need the wing vapor from either MSFS (Microsoft Flight Simulator), or Metalstorm.
I agree, at first I thought maybe they don’t want the game to be heavy/unplayable for players with old pc’s that struggle, but then I remember games like Battlefiled 6 on console have vapour effects that dunk on WT ones, so it’s not really an excuse.
Like FR, at least make the advanced vapor an option in the graphics settings next to cloud quality or something. MSFS, and Metalstorm is good, but war thunder just slapped some weird tiny foam things and called it a day.
Exaclty, a % slider would be the perfect option, like all the others that already in the graphic section, just make the player chose what he wants.
What I also don’t like is how geometrically perfect it looks haha, they are just mirrored from one wing to the other.
Hopefully someone spams the forums with “add improved wing vapor” because these just look so low quality dude, gajin, please kindly but firmly fix the wing vapor instead of copy pasting like 50 abramses and t-80s.

Yeah hopefully they do get improved. They look pretty poor compared to what it should look like IRL.
(My own photo showing wing vapour from Cosford Airshow).
Also not to mention that it’s currently missing from variable sweep wing aircraft like the F-14’s and MiG-23’s.

For some reason, the map in the vid reminds me of a certain map in WarThunder Idk which one though
But who copied whom?
idk lol, I THINK WarThunder’s map is the original one, because it was present since a long time ago
See? Its just 4 trails and thats basically just it.
that would be rocky pillars iirc
Imo they should be removed. They’re very buggy, render at distances they shouldn’t, and wing vapor trails are uncommon irl.
They could model them according to the map environment and weather condition.
So you want probably the best effect in the game to be removed?
It’s not probably the best, it’s one of the worst.
