Why do new vehicles have such low resolution textures?

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?

It’s the Ariete.

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

I’m going to kick it up a notch even

From 2016
P-61s cockpit looks way more detailed

That’s probably a similar quality as the Ariete.

So the B-1 is not 2013 at least… but that still shouldn’t completely outclass a 2022 premium.

And yeah, that is a night and day difference on the P-61.

Did you even take a look at the cockpit of Ariete in game?
It IS very poor quality
Some aircraft which were released even prior have significantly more detailed cockpits
F-84F is an example of one which was announced in 2020

The Saggitario’s and Ariete’s cockpits are actually worse than some of the older planes that probably haven’t had a cockpit update since they were released.

If cockpits like the early Spitfires can exist with fully functional everything, then gaijin has no excuse to have a cockpit that bad.

Even the Mig-15s cockpit is better and that probably hasn’t been changed since it was added.

Idk man, but a lot look like total shite

External models are even worse and more granular.
