War Thunder's "Advancing Storm" Update Is Now Live, Brings New And Improved Graphics Engine

Last month, we got some insight into how Gaijin Entertainment was planning to pretty up War Thunder in its next update. Now, that update -- 1.77, or Advancing Storm -- is live, bringing with it a host of graphical and audio improvements.

Weather effects, lighting, anti-aliasing, and shadows all get the deluxe treatment in War Thunder's Dagor Engine, even to the point of leaving puddles after a rainstorm. Taking advantage of those new graphical improvements are a few new vehicles: five tanks from the '70s and '80s and three planes, including one created by a player via War Thunder's Revenue Share program.
