A new fan created trailer.

I am not trying to be a troll, but seriously nothing graphically I see really grabs me that much...

Of course there is a HUGE selection of aircraft but I am really digging the CEM that other games have to offer, what is war thunder like in that regards?

S!

No flickering shadows, no flickering trees, no LOD square around the plane etc. Those strike first. Lighting is OK if they got rid of that excessive bloom. Otherwise no comment. But good to have variety of course!

Does it run better than CLOD?

Krupi, that square around your plane is still there, they just toned it so it is harder to see. But still there. Before over France you see it very clear but now to lesser extent. Also look at the video of WarThunder, no big rivers at distance or similar. It can be all the arcade there is but some things, and I emphasize SOME things only, are better in my opinion than in CoD. Of course mileage may vary as usual.

Terrain and visuals look much better to my eyes than COD. I'd be very happy if COD progressed visually to be as good as that.

Suspect that COD will have more depth and be superior in other ways (or will when it's fixed...!)

..and before someone jumps in to say fps improved and no crashes with latest beta, that's not what I'm talking about. When I say 'fixed' - I mean AA, clouds and weather, decent UI, dynamic campaign, working coms, correct control configurations (eg Spitfire mixture setting), accurate FMs, tweaked terrain...and probably a few more that escape my memory at this moment....oh yeah working mirrors, tree collision detection...

Of course its there most game have a LOD box but I no longer see it, at all...

Looks good, graphically. Would like to see more - weather, large cumulus cloud formations up close, water up close, forested terrain, cities, etc.....and cockpits! Certainly a certain crowd is targeted, but that hopefully will pull them still further into more involved PC combat flight sims.

Or back to Call of Duty...
