Explore new expanses, or How to play on tanks in War Thunder

When the company-developer announced War Thunder, it was immediately announced that this project will not be a simple flight simulator, but a huge military game, where a gamer will be able to participate in the battle on almost any type of equipment. Shark gamblers laughed at such unrealistic plans, and they forgot. But the young and ambitious team of Haydzinov knew what he was doing - a huge amount of work was cut into pieces. Thus, when the War Thunder project was withdrawn, it was an ordinary aircraft simulator.

Tanks

Everything changed when the tank battle regime appeared. The first public demonstration of this newest industry in the regime was held at Igromir. And the demonstration was held on an open stand - anyone could personally steer an iron combat vehicle.

What is the difficulty?

A person unfamiliar with the development of games, it may seem that there is no complexity here, and the developer company is simply pictured supposedly a big job. In fact, everything is really difficult. Judge for yourself: when you are rushing on a fast plane, you do not care about the world around you. There is only the sky, your plane and the enemy in sight. The game engine in this mode does not make sense to load with detailed elements of houses, fields, grass, trees - after all, you still do not have time to consider them.

In the new War Thunder mode, the tanks will play along with the aircraft, which means that it will be necessary to solve the problem of working out the terrain on the map. After all, the tank is never in a hurry - the user has plenty of time to consider all the details of the surrounding world.

Graphic execution

The modern gamer no longer accepts projects with weak graphics development, like the well-known shooter "Tanks online." Play War Thunder as a project will be long only if the resulting picture turns juicy. Developers-Gajzins understood this at the earliest stages. Players are offered a beautiful, juicy picture, where everything is painted clearly and in detail. An interesting feature - in the battles involved not brand new models of tanks, but the kind of fighting vehicles that have worn out, all entirely covered with battle scars, and here and there and rust. Minor details of all models are meticulously traced, and the textures are of unprecedented quality. Hooks, cables, tools, lights - all these little dots are so realistic that the tank is perceived as alive. In combat, all this pleases - beautiful in War Thunder tanks! How to play with all this splendor in the beta test, we'll tell you later.

A special mention deserves a model of damage to the tank. In the game there are no hitpoints - tanks are destroyed from hits. For example, if you get into a combat situation, you can provoke a colorful explosion. And from getting into the engine there is a flame gradually covering the car.

How to get to the land of the promised?
