It's one of a number of environmental changes the new graphics engine will bring to the game, including changes to weather and anti-aliasing effects. Check out the video below for a look at how this outstanding detail will work in game.Īs for the appearance of the ground, it's clearly much improved, as the blog shows, even on ultra-low-quality settings. How does ground 'act'? As the dev blog about the new Dagor Engine states, vehicle suspension currently only reacts to large items on the ground, but when the new engine goes live, even slightly uneven surfaces will make your ride a little bumpier. Gaijin Entertainment understands this and is thus doing a lot of work to improve how landscapes look and even act in War Thunder. It's the foundation upon which everything else is built, both figuratively and literally. Sure, your focus is usually on other characters, enemies, buildings, and - in a third-person game - your own character, but the appearance of the ground plays a subtle but important role in how well a game looks.
