History

When in 1957, the Swiss Air Force announced competition for a new fighter, Great Britain offered its most up-to-date Hawker Hunter F.6 jet fighters. These fighters were successfully tested and 100 units of Hunters began to be prepared for delivery, both from Royal Air Force active service and ordered from the Hawker facilities. The latter were equipped with Swiss-standard radio eq...

We’re talking about details of the adjusted APDS penetration values for hard alloy and tungsten alloy penetrators that we will introduce into the game in the Sky Guardians update.

In developing the game, we are trying to bring the parameters of shells of vehicles in the game to become more and more authentic. Thus in the Sky Guardians update we have transferred the calculation of armor penetration values for non-feathered armor-piercing sub-caliber discard sabot shells (APDS) to the modified Jacob De Marr formula. The coefficients were selected for different designs of such rounds in order to best match the known documents and known terminal performance results.

It is necessary to note the peculiarity of the influence of the design of the armor-piercing nose penetrative pad and the material of the penetrator. The use of a hard-alloy core made of tungsten carbide alloys makes it possible under opti...

The Finnish Air Force was founded on the 6th of March, 1918, soon after the country declared its independence from the Russian Empire. Its first planes were simply left behind by Russian forces. But the Finns didn’t have their own pilots, so in the beginning they had to rely on unofficial help from Swedes, Danes, and Russians.

The Finnish Air Force was rather successful in fighting off Soviet aircraft during the Winter War, and in WWII refrained from bombing civilian targets. After the peace treaty with the USSR was signed, Finnish pilots kept fighting in the skies against their past allies from the Luftwaffe.

Today the Finnish Air Force consists of several dozen of American F/A-18 Hornets.

New effects for aviation in the Sky Guardians update

A little sneak peek of the new visual and physical improvements in War Thunder aviation that will be introduced into the game with the upcoming Sky Guardians update!

Updated vapour cone effect

We have improved the vapour cone effect that can be seen at transonic speed of the aircraft due to the local pressure gradient. Look how realistic it is now!

New contrail and flow separation effects

The game will have a new effect of the contrail left by the running aircraft engines, the new contrail is visually longer, more distinctable and “fluffy”. Another improved effect that every pilot is familiar with is the wingtip flow separation effect. It may be observed as a long vortex cord from the wingtips during manoeuvres. Physical turbulence has been added to these effects, which makes them more varied and authentic.

The War Thunder development team reacts on the hottest topics of discussion of the upcoming Sky Guardians update.

Pantsir-S1 and other SAM vehicles

We noticed the concerns of the players about a possible imbalance due to the introduction of the Pantsir-S1 surface-to-air missile system into the game and will try to answer some questions about its operational modes details.

The introduction of the Pantsir-S1 was planned due to the fact that the 2S6/2S6M1 Tunguska SPAAG is significantly inferior to the competition in terms of the combination of missile plus radar efficiency and has some of the worst statistics among all top tier SPAAGs in the game.

Some players also believe that instead of introducing Pantsir-S1, it was worth introducing the TOR-M1 or TOR-M2 systems. However, according to ...

History

After completing the flight tests of the F-16 prototypes, General Dynamics began a promotional campaign among NATO partner countries with supply proposals. The Japanese government also received such an offer with the idea of creating domestic assembly capacities. A main highlight of the advertisements was a F-16AJ modification designed for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. The aircraft had slightly shifted pilot seat layout, lacked an in-flight refueling system, ...

I think he refer to that pattern

It looks like some issue with shadowing/self shadows.

If it's not visible without DLSS it means that DLSS simply do not handle such effect. Not much you can do (switch off DLSS or try on DLSS quality, if you are using lower setting), maybe try to check on different settings (shadows).
