Well, in this case yes, you are making things up :D
Today, we’re taking a look at motion blur in War Thunder — what it is, how it’s implemented in the game, and what challenges we were facing. War Thunder goes to the movies!

What Is Motion Blur? In a video game, images are created from scratch, each frame displays a single point in time.
Real cameras or even our eyes don’t work like this. Taking a picture takes time, and over this time the world doesn’t always stand still. If an object moves while we’re taking the picture, it will appear in all those places at the same time on the final image. This is what we call motion blur.

Explanation Of The Basics To simulate the effect of motion blur, we need to know how every pixel has moved since the last frame. This requires all animations and moving effects to report their current an... Read more

Nope. No North Korea tech tree in our game. Maybe you saw North Korean camouflage for aircraft?

Because mission you play is random. You can take more than one aircraft in Arcade Battles and that's the one of the main features of this mode - use it :)

It depends on mission you are in.
In majority of them, you will find at least some ground targets. But there are some without it, when your task is to gain control over airspace.

Today we’ll take a look at some more improvements coming to the Firebirds major update: mud on ground vehicles and improved naval effects such as better fires.

Dirtier Ground Vehicles With the release of the Firebirds major update, you’ll notice an update to various effects related to mud, soil traces and the nature of your ground vehicles getting dirty. In particular, the effects of mud from under the wheels have been improved, with many bugs and inaccuracies fixed. The effect itself has become more saturated as well!



But that’s not all. Ground vehicles have always been able to get covered in mud, snow and sand, but we’ve now worked to make this mechanic more elaborate and realistic. Before the Firebirds major update, the surface of... Read more

For me the Russians are the best if you are just looking to play big tanks due to them having them relatively early in thier TT (rank 2) without getting like the T35 Premium Heavy at rank I (Even though its so fun) and a good variety of designs. Americans get fun too, but if you already have worked a portion of the German tree as you say then you cant really go wrong there either. Big Cats are certainly really fun to play.

It's currently October 44th :)))

Jokes aside, not sure why it's claimed to be the "October Update" - we never announced it would be for October. But nonetheless, we currently have a dev server open until tomorrow and are working on bugs to fix. We'll announce the release date on our website, please keep an eye there.
