War Thunder "Firebirds" - Changelog

ech… (thanks)

As a France player who is 100k away from getting the Leclerc. Why do I have to suddenly research another copy paste Leopard and a useless SPAA to be able to finish the grind? Why does the “new vehicle grind skip” not apply to France?

I care little about my profiles: the change is anyway horrible. I play essentially to develop vehicols. With the last update where did the number of vehicles divided by each nation in my possession ended up ?

this update should simply be rolled back to the previous version and thrown in the trash.

These new dirt effects are a huge upgrade! Much more realistic, elegant and discrete. Previous ones tended to be a bit way too muddy most of the time, even on the turret lol.

Makes sense, but isn’t 5 weeks a very short time between major updates?

I would think there will be stuff they have been working on for a while, but isn’t part of this release.
It’s not like it’ll just be starting development today for the next update.

I and a few of my friends were under the assumption that if you had the Premium Ram II in the USA Tree, you would automatically get it in the British tree. that’s how I remember it working with the Swedish Centurion we used to have in the British Tree before it was moved to the Swedish Tree and the people who had it in the British Tree automatically got it.

So why cant it be like that this time?

Am I the only one that got a BIG cut in performance? Like, I went from 170fps down to 80-100…

Check your settings.
There should be no performance drop if you use exact same settings like pre-majoj update.

With all of Ray Tracing on, I went from 160 to 50; I had to disable all Ray Tracing reflection and water-related settings and lower RT distance and shadows just to get 70-90 FPS…

Plus ocassional stuttering and drops down to 30 FPS. I really hope they polish and optimise it over the following days…

Until then, I am considering disabling Ray Tracing entirely.

Is raytracing not really working for others too? I have it on ultra and reflections in windows arent a thing at all. (or have they scrubbed some features due to performance issues?)

It usually doesnt apply to rank changes though

The bmp2s atgm is now dipping to 1600m after launch XD

Probably the worst addition of the patch. Still cannot navigate through camouflages sanily, like sort/show: grindable, GE-only, market, sort per tier…

Nothing like that ever happened with premium vehicles.

Yeah, I think I’m disabling Ray Tracing for now…

I wouldn’t mind the FPS drop from 160 to 70 (with half the settings disabled) if at least these 70 FPS were consistent and stable; however, every time I switch to the gunner sight, FPS drop to 25-30 for 1-3 seconds, which makes the game practically unplayable… for example, I missed this shot because of that.

EDIT: yeah, Ray Tracing disabled altogether now. It is unplayable. I thought Ryzen 7 5800X + RTX 3060 would be ebough to run at least just RT ambient occlusion…

yeah, they just moved it, they never gave you a free second copy lol.
