Why do new vehicles have such low resolution textures?

@BalticSAS
To keep the game 61GB in size.
If you want higher resolution textures, download the High-res Texture Pack.

Asking for a 300GB base game is not consumer friendly.

@zZoKo
Gaijin actually has high standards in this regard, not low.
Resolution isn’t everything.
It just has to be clear enough.

You think is a high standard and a $45 model?

Making sure vehicles don’t use up too much space in the game file system is a high standard, yes.
The less storage a game uses for the fidelity and content provided, the higher standard it is.

Right, and some vehicles should pay the price for that with graphics from the previous century, because a cockpit that takes up more than 5kb worth of detail we can’t have?

But we can also have this?

Nearly all of the graphics are from 2015 standards or newer, and are very optimized for storage use.

Even the 2012 Sabre cockpits are ahead of their time for when they released.

The game doesn’t need unoptimized STALKER 2, Tarkov, or DCS file storage.
Things need to look good, be readable, and be small in storage size.

As I said, there’s a High-res texture pack if you want it.
I stopped using it over a year ago myself cause the 1080p-standard textures are good enough.

I’m sure it’s optimized for storage when it looks like this.

And this is the high res pack… upgrades the graphics from 2002 to 2007.

So how is storage the excuse when adding 17GB of high res textures doesn’t give high res textures?

That’s pretty horrible looking…
Especially when you compare it to some newer cockpits

Considering it’s a 2022 model for $45 and it is a newer cockpit.

This makes it even worse…

Compare it to this A5M4 from 2013 or whatever.

You can actually make out the screws in this one at least
Good luck on Ariete one

Yeah… which is crazy that a random TT model from over 10 years ago has more effort put in than a premium model 10 years later.

You can just tell they gave up somewhere along the way, it’s sad they just stopped caring about deliving a quality product and are willing to ship literal garbage and charge a premium for it.
It’s not a lack of ability, that much is clear,

Cutting corners on bomber cockpits I already feel is unacceptable, especially with the latest one they put in the BP, not only charge you money for it, but also make you grind it for months and they still won’t give it an actual cockpit, but also on fighters now, premium at that… what a shame.

It’s such a joy to have proper, high quality cockpits.

Which apparently costs them “10k”.

10k for a vehicle they can sell 10k times.

Pretty sure there are some pre 2010 cockpit models such as Me 262s and P-51D-5, etc.

Those were carried over from Wings of Prey, IIRC
