In an online military action game War thunder update became available “Hot tracks”, The company said Gaijin Entertainment… Players will find updated visual effects for ground and sea vehicles, a line of Italian helicopters, the legendary battle cruisers Von der Tann and HMS Invincible, and many other combat vehicles…
The caterpillar track of armored vehicles in War Thunder now consists of separate segments – tracks, each of which has physically valid properties and interacts correctly with surfaces… When passing irregularities, the caterpillar bounces on the rollers, during acceleration and braking, it tightens or relaxes, and also sways for some time after the machine has come to a complete stop. When the track hits the fenders, the track cuts sparks out of it, and when a projectile hits the caterpillar, the tape breaks exactly in the segment where the impact fell. New track links have so far been installed on the most popular vehicles in War Thunder, and in the future they will appear on all types of armored vehicles.…
In the last update, the effects of shots for aviation were updated, now it is the turn of tank and naval guns. In addition, the Dagor Engine is now able to generate objects characteristic of a particular landscape – for example, small pebbles, debris, plants, moss, mushrooms – and arrange them around the scene by the GPU… It is best to evaluate the changes in the graphics on new types of ground vehicles – for example, the long-awaited ZTZ99 main battle tank, the new top of the Chinese branch, or the Japanese ST-A3 medium tank with an automatic loading system.
The new line of Italian helicopters starts with three combat vehicles. Moreover, if AB 205 A-1 is a licensed copy of the well-known American “Huey” UH-1H, then A109 EOA-2 and A129CBT Mangusta are original developments of Italian engineers. Moreover, the Mongoose is the first attack helicopter designed and manufactured entirely in Western Europe. Today it is in service with the armies of Italy and Turkey and was actively used in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Mongoose is armed with a 20mm autocannon and carries a rich arsenal of unguided and guided weapons, including Stinger missiles and Hellfire II ATGMs.
Jet aircraft fans also received new iconic aircraft – for example, the Buccaneer S.2 attack aircraft nicknamed Banana, the A-7 Corsair II carrier-based attack aircraft (one of the first American aircraft with a HUD – that is, an indicator on the windshield) and the F- fighter 84F Thunderstreak. It is curious that the F-84F Thunderstreak was piloted during military service in Europe by the writer Richard Bach, author of the famous story “The Seagull Called Jonathan Livingston”.
War Thunder’s large fleet has been replenished with two participants in the Battle of Jutland – the largest naval battle of the First World War, as well as a new caliber record holder – the Japanese battleship Hyūga with twelve 356-mm guns…
The HMS Invincible is the first-ever battlecruiser-class combat ship. Its main caliber – eight 305-mm guns in four turrets – allows it to hit even battleships with fire, and its relatively high speed allows it to overtake and sink a cruiser. HMS Invincible played both roles: in the battle of the Falkland Islands, he helped destroy two German armored cruisers Gneisenau and Scharnhorst, and at Jutland entered the battle in one formation with battleships and was destroyed by the fire of the German battle cruisers Lützow and Derfflinger.
The Von der Tann is the first German battlecruiser-class ship, built in response to the Invincible-class ships before the outbreak of World War I. Unlike British competitors, it had heavier armor, but a smaller main caliber. This solution was successfully tested by Jutland: Von der Tann sank the British battle cruiser Indefatigable and served in the German navy until the end of the war.
The full list of changes in the update is available on the official War Thunder website.…
