War Thunder - Sons of Attila Update

New Trees and Wind Effects

Today, we want to share some exciting news about War Thunder. With the upcoming major update "Sons of Attila," a brand new technology for the trees on the battlefields of ground forces is being introduced to the game. The branches and trunks of the trees will now sway and move with the same forces of wind that already affect smoke and weather during battles. In calmer situations, the trees will remain still, but when a stormy wind blows, you will see them bend and move!

Shots and Explosions

To make tank battles even more spectacular, the game will introduce new effects for the discharge of powder gases after each shot. Sustained machine gun fire and autocannon salvos will now also cause the barrels to turn red due to heating. The effects of hits on enemy vehicles have also been improved.

Destructible Ammunition and Decorators

From now on, all external ammunition on vehicles, whether it's smoke grenades or bombs on aircraft pylons, can be hit and destroyed by enemy fire. Even well-aimed machine gun fire or a high-explosive grenade hitting a tank can now trigger its smoke grenades.

Voice Warning Systems for Aircraft

Modern aircraft now feature voice informant warnings. "Bitchin' Betty" will alert you to dangerous altitudes, critical G-force overloads, radar warning receiver signals, and notify you of the readiness of guided weapons on the aircraft.

Realistic HUD for Helicopters

The cockpits of modern helicopters will now also be equipped with fully functional HUDs. The first helicopter models to have these new HUDs are the Ka-50/52, Mi-28N/NM, and Mi-35M series.
