War Thunder Dev Tracker

We continue to talk about the improvements in the game's appearance that will be brought by the updated graphics engine ‘Dagor Engine 6.0’ in the next major update “New Power” for War Thunder.

We recently showed new skies and visual improvements for War Thunder aircraft. Today we continue to expand on how the new graphics engine in War Thunder will change the look of the game.

Hit effects on armoured vehicles

War Thunder: New Power has improved the appearance and “physics” of hits on ground vehicles. Physically correct armour scars appear on ground vehicles in places where shells hit, now their shape depends on the angle of the shell's collision with the vehicle's armour. In some cases, the projectile can even get stuck in the armour! If armour is penetrated, holes of different diameters appear on the armour, depending on the calibre of the projectile. If a vehicle is on fire, you can see the flame th...

Once again, those events where you can earn vehicles have not stopped or gone away.

This is something new on too of those that allows everyone to get an additional free vehicle and then for those that really want them, can purchase a battle pass and get even more rewards.

You can complete the tasks or you can buy a stage for 75 GE.

That's because it's not an event, but something entirely separate that runs for a minimum of 75 that allows everyone to get a free premium vehicle just by logging in and playing the game with basic missions.

That's on top of all the other normal events we have and will still have where you can earn free vehicles.

Everyone benefits from this and gets free content and those that want even more have that option.

Check more details on our website!

What you and everyone else should do is exactly the same as we said yesterday. Wait for official news.

Right now everyone is just speculating and we cannot give the full official info yet before the news article is published.

As I have already said though, there will Indeed still be elements for free without the need to purchase anything. However those that want more can get more if they want to purchase.

Right now, the best thing to do is wait. Everyone else can only offer you speculation and most of it wrong.

We have not made any offical announcements yet, so discussions of this kind without all the facts are going to lead to a lot of assumptions and guesses.

Please wait for offical news and if you want to discuss it for now, please do so in the rumour topic:

It wasn't pushed back for a month at all. A "trend" is people looking backwards at release dates and comparing them to this update. This update is unlike any other and represents the move to a new game version entirely (2.X.XX.X). Because a bunch of previous years had one "trend" does not mean its set in stone and always will be that way.

Backups are not going anywhere. But if you want to grab some now and have a fresh start in the new system. Feel free.

Feedback is taken into account just the same here. This patch was built around a lot of things people had been requesting for quite some time and there have actually been quite a few changes since the dev server based around that feedback that was presented during them as well as the bug reported within them also being fixed.

It has no impact on progression at all outside of what the Warbonds store currently offers anyone anyway.

Again, it has no impact or relevance to the regular seasonal events. Its entirely separate.

No need to unless you really want something. Warbonds will still be relevant.

Premium account offers other bonuses beyond just RP boosts. On top of this, we also have boosters which are already given out as rewards for daily logins and events, that dont require a premium account at all and can be used by anyone. The two are separate and distinct things.
