War Thunder has released today a new update called Firestorm (whose name comes from the new multiple explosive rocket launcher systems added to the game), which comes with a lot of new improvements and features. Among the main novelties of FireStorm we can find the first British tanks of the game, the A13 Mk II, the Sherman Firefly, the M10 Achilles and the A43 Black Prince Infantry tank, as well as two new ground maps that will take us to the icy streets of Stalingrad and the beautiful and labyrinthine city of Cologne.

This update also improves the game graphics engine (the Dagor Engine 4.0) with new graphical capabilities and technologies, including physically based rendering and realistic water and tides visualization . However the most attractive novelty is that now we can destroy walls, ruins and even entire buildings!; that allow us to destroy the cover of our enemies or to create new paths along the map using our cannons.

Anton Yudintsev, CEO of Gaijin Entertainment, notes: “War Thunder is a multiplayer game available on several different platforms, so we can’t limit new tech only to PC-users or owners of powerful GPUs. These new features aren’t just about improved visuals only, but affect gameplay as well. For example, if one player destroys a wall or entire building, it should vanish for all other players in the same battle. Likewise, water and waves not only look spectacular, but also interfere with landing and taking off for hydroplanes. The team at Gaijin is very proud of the NVIDIA GameWorks integration in War Thunder, and it works for every user regardless of platform or PC specs.”

"The passion for beautiful games that NVIDIA GameWorks Effects Studio engineers share with the artists at Gaijin has resulted in the stunning real-time effects that scale across multiple platforms — whether it’s on the latest GeForce-equipped PC or a game console,” said Keita Iida, senior director of global content management at NVIDIA. “The destructible buildings and lifelike water effects are absolutely mind-blowing.”
