WT graphics quality 2025

Legible text and high enough triangle counts.

Of course you’d defend it.

Yes, cause storage efficiency matters more than the vehicle being as detailed as a Gran Turismo 7 car.
Is text legible? Yes.
Are the textures good? Yes.
War Thunder doesn’t need to be GT7.

World of Tanks is a lower fidelity game that takes up more storage.
DCS has as-fidelity maps with far worse storage efficiency.
And DCS’s Flaming Cliffs aircraft are as-detailed.

The game doesn’t need to be Starfield fidelity, it’s okay to be X4 Foundations [well, higher than X4].
It’s okay to make an efficient good looking game.

And I say this as an RTX 4070 user. If anyone’s regretting their GPU purchases… don’t push regret onto games.

I see you just gave up?

You should read before posting, as you would’ve found out that the bug was fixed.

For you.
Then it happen to other players. Or happen before your report, 3 years ago.

Now it happens to me!

And didn’t you unload UHQ client and use standart client now?

So you think this is acceptable quality for $40 in 2025 so they can save 1MB worth of textures?

It’s okay to make an efficient good looking game.

But it doesn’t look good lmao.

We have this

And this in the same game

It’s not even according to their own standards, which are already as low as they can be.

An Italian plane with American gauges and non discernible features.

Why can other planes have this?

image

And this doesn’t even have a texture, how is that okay?

image

There is more detail in a 2002 game.

Game size is a complete joke of an excuse anyways when we have a texture pack that is specifically for higher resolution textures and it still looks like literal ass.

Wrong.

Flaming cliffs, or even free-to-play Su-25T (and mustang) are like decade ahead in visual quality from WT models.

You know what looks similar to WT?
DCS’s MiG-21.
Because it was last time updated in 2014.

I’d make sure your operating system is repaired, and your GPU driver is a known-stable one for War Thunder.
Fun fact, I had to run an August version of NVidia drivers until December because that was the last stable version until recently.

And correct, I haven’t used UHQ in years at this point.
The last time I used it was after my RTX 2070 came back from RMA, then a few months later I uninstalled it for more game space cause the textures weren’t worth it anymore for me.
I grew out of my “ooo high resolution” phase, and more care about the level of detail used for the resolution provided.
A lower resolution texture can be very detailed when made well.

As for Su-25T, it’s as detailed as the WT Su-25T.
I know, I flew both.
I stopped playing DCS because of storage and the publisher not paying their contractors over the CEO having a personal disagreement. War Thunder does everything DCS does except radar simulation which is a preference more than anything else; oh and clicky buttons on some aircraft, but I have that in X-Plane.

@Miragen
Try 100MB of storage saved per aircraft minimum.
As for Sagittario-Ariete’s cockpit, that’s what you get when the cockpit no longer exists in the original form and photographs are limited.
It’s still legible, and that’s all that really matters.

Man, I tried everything for the last 2.5 months…
My last resort is going to win11.
I’m on 10 now and just don’t want to reinstall all my software.
The only game I have problems with is the WT…

My problem is that game becomes blurry mess even on standart client (I’ve already tried it) with dx11 and any settings and resolution.
Looks like VRAM leak after 1-2-3 battles. Or even after changing vehicle camo or going to test flight and returning to hangar.

Yeah… I really wonder what could go in these mystery locations… what could that possibly be? I guess we can never know what was in these planes that is also in every other plane…

The lack of pictures must really be why this is the way that it is… SURELY.

Man even on this picture I cannot begin to imagine what goes there!

And without pictures… how are we supposed to know what language would be used inside of an Italian plane… surely it must be American.

I do apologize if any of my statements upset you, by the by; It is never my intention to upset anyone as I get upset myself when others are upset.

As for your post… It might be due to you being on Windows 10 and/or GPU drivers depreciating for that build of Windows, but that’s just speculation on my part. I’ve used 11 since it released.
I’ve had game-specific issues with Forza 7, War Thunder, etc over the years. Usually caused by a driver, sometimes the game itself, rarely the OS tho it does occur.
As for VRAM leak, I know Balatro has that issue in fullscreen; I’m unaware of any for War Thunder but I also don’t play in fullscreen for any game due to multi-monitor and Windows handling multi-monitor very poorly.

I’m sorry, didn’t want to be rude.
I just lose my mind spending all my free time trying to find a fix for this bug for such a long time.
✌️



^^DX12 max everything 1440p with ray tracing



^^DX11 everything max 1440p NO ray tracing SSAA 4x this is much more crisp then DX12

I’m on a RTX4080

Thanks!

I can see you have the same problem

At 4K it will be worse.

because it’s 1440p x4 resolution.

And still no texture problem…
image

All I’m saying is I would like the textures on more close up things you’re dealing all the time with to look good…would most of this be fixed if Gaijin updated their engine??? I’m not graphic of technical literate soooo?

Looks like 16GB of 4080’s memory is not enough to run this game in 1440p with Ray Tracing.

By the way, check pilot suit textures in cockpit.

At times Devs may not be focused on Detail during demonstrations… and higher details may even lag or screw around with streaming sessions etc…

Devs do want to keep game file size down because they did want as many player machines to be able to play as much as possible

I will let it slide since you apologized later on… But, just be mindful of things said in the future

Cockpits, and planes, Tanks and ships can be upgraded / additions made and or overhauled over time… even then sometimes all they do is increase the polly count up to current gaming standards

War Thunder still has some models from around 2012 or earlier, they can be upgraded over time… the other thing to take into consideration is that those other games do not have 2,500 - 3,000 Planes, Tanks and Ships

What just happened ?? lol, I must have passed into alternate reality…

But, Seriously, Thanks for sorting out differences!

We do know and understand that things can be frustrating at times, Staff are players as well… so, we know the frustrations! and we also recognize the time and effort that some put into trying to help make the game better for everyone else

Thank you for reply!

But they (BVV_d) noticed this bug on stream and talked about it, but then decided, that it’s a pre-release and all will be fine later.
Months passed, nothing changed.
That’s why I’m going crazy 🤪

Why are cockpits added in 2022 of a quality that would be below an acceptable standard even in 2012? Seems completely illogical to add super low quality crap so you can improve it later, especially when you’re charging a premium price for the low quality crap…
