Hard to see, but i think it always was like that. At 1:08 maybe you can see some sparks on the left side falling on the roof armor. The main difference here i think is just that there's waaaaay more sparks now and they stay for much longer (old ones disappeared like after less than a second or so), so it's more noticeable.
it was previously too, but compared to ixwa strike, there is now MORE sparks everywhere, so there is higher chance for them to land on vehicles, they landed on vehicles before too , it was just rare because there werent as much sparks...
I don't have issues with graphics maxed out, I think you should maybe see if it's a problem with your nvidia or and driver cuz it might be not on the latest version and optimisation
For some reason only the first day I had the game trying to clap me out of existence with wiggy graphics and crashing. After that first day it was fine though..🤔
the smoke visuals still look like stock greenscreen clips, especially the artillery kinda like those 2d sprites in doom that always face the player, very flat with little to no depth
That's exactly what I thought! Artillery looks like a cheaply made green screen explosion. Also the 20mm vulcan now sounds like electric sparks instead of a minigun lobbing bullets your way.
Yea, most of the time I just call arty in just as a ghetto smoke generator or a diversion from my flank... Now it's just a disappointing randomly targeted piece of RNG.
AGM, naval 155mm caliber APHE and torpedoes dropped onto dry land also got new effects in Ixwa. These are more rarely seen but amongst the finest looking ones this update. Check em out sometime in test drive.
Hey cobra nice vid ! I just have something to say, for me at least you're way too close to the tank you're shooting at, you could have made it from the spawn and in first person so we can see the whole effect instead ofit being hidden by the muzle flash. But everything else is prefect :)
i think this was the update that made the m103 sound so good (especially from commander view) but now they changed it again. ): and noone has recordings of that legendary sound that blew me away the first time i heard it
Looks like they didn't like people using arty as a rechargeable smokescreen. I think arty should throw up dirt and debris that is lighter colored and thinner than the old black-as-tar smoke, but the new arty doesn't provide cover at all.
Go to test drive with the premium Japanese light cruiser, load her main guns with APHE and then shoot some onto the islands nearby. The impact effect is brand new for Ixwa Strike and PERFECTLY suited for artillery. Idk why Gaijin decided not to use that one instead.
Okay but the artillery literally looks like some green screen explosion effect you download from UA-cam and add to your video for dramatic effect. It doesn't seem to have any volume to it which is a bummer.
Just a personal "gripe" for lack of a better word. This may just be me, but it would probably help if you backed up a few hundred meters when looking at the shell impact fx. I have trouble figuring out what's muzzle blast and what's impact smoke. Otherwise great vid
I thik that the update is cool! but ive noticed sound bugs if theres too many things going on, for example the 5000kg bomb test cut out like halfway through the explosion but im sure theyll patch it within the next month
i dont know if it is the game or my pc but im very confused right now everything in ground battles sounds different the machine guns the main gun sounds is it the update pls tell me ( the sound is somewhat different and i thought it is a bug or just that gaijin changed it)
These look beatiful but gaijin should concentrate on fixing bugs that make game unplayable, not adding effects that nobody gives sh*t about. And also dev server should be open for more time than 1 hour a week so bugs can be detected early, not on live server
40mm sounded better B4, i liked how the Biplanes guns sounded B4 so cool, guess some of the new sounds are cool others not, but TY for Ur efforts and time for uploading Ur WT video.
I guess the effects look slightly better, the sounds are tuned a little better, and spark physics cause why not. Aircraft sound effects changed greatly.
The first effect: The blast wave is visible in different times: Left side: 0:17 Right side: 0:13 The blast wave cause image distortion in great part of the right side screen. And the left side, is smaller. Thanks for your video.
Apparently the aircraft armament is supposed to sound more suitable for on-air, but honestly I don't really think it sounds too great. The flak and bombs sound amazing now though! However, the party could deal with less sparks imo
the only bad thing about this update is Arti. Before this you can hear artillery strike from other side of the map, after the update even when I was at the center of the strike zone I will took some times to realize I am in strike zone. It simply lack the sound and the dirt and smoke of the old one, it feels more like striked by tank land mine from sky rather than an artillery round.

sparks now land on vehicles instead of falling through them too
Nice
I thought they added (at least wanted to add) this in previous updates.

How do i enable sparks
The new arty sounds alot like aerial fireworks going off a long distance away.
Old artillery was better, this new stuff sounds like rifle grenades or small mortars
or those little poppers at birthday parties
Agree
its a shame because visually i like them
The bomb sound is girthier than before
That's awesome
Girthquake™
Yeah
Yeah, and there's way more echo.
agree but artillery just sucks now
@@jonleg12312 Now it sounds way less terrifying
Oh, I see the first effect difference.
The light bending shockwave becomes larger. But perhaps less pronounced in its light bending properties.
This update makes it look better and sound better just it crashes every 5 minutes
yep, everytime an explosion occurs near me the game just lags for 0.5-1 sec. VERY annoying. never had this problem before this update
They ruined the Sherman firefly also with thus update it sucks now
I don't have issues with graphics maxed out, I think you should maybe see if it's a problem with your nvidia or and driver cuz it might be not on the latest version and optimisation

@@more339 what did they do to the Sherman firefly?
The artillery sounds like Firecrackers or Fireworks
Yeah for real
Ngl, New Arty Sounds Like Fart To Me... No Offense
I cannot even hear the artillery like I did previously. I’ll need to check my sounds but I swear it sounds to me like nothing.
the New sound of explosive is so crispy but its kinda lack of the good ol B A N G
+ Instant heart attack when ammo racked while lurking
@@zero9iners22 oh man how many times i shitted myself with an instant ammo rack
@@zero9iners22 its worse when you turn your volume up for a second to see if there is an enemy near by. I fell out of my chair.
I want the buoy back :'(
first nigel and now our beloved buoy
Look at how they massacred my buoy!
;(
Nothing like playing ground battles and hearing actual Brrrrrrttttsss from planes
To bad they sound like popcorn for the planes themselves.
@@Xiphactinus
yep
The new spark effects are amazing
4:06 can we all take a moment to appreciate the massive improvement in this particular sound
My harrier likes it
the smoke visuals still look like stock greenscreen clips, especially the artillery
kinda like those 2d sprites in doom that always face the player, very flat with little to no depth
Agreed
Then they also sound like fire crackers
That's exactly what I thought! Artillery looks like a cheaply made green screen explosion. Also the 20mm vulcan now sounds like electric sparks instead of a minigun lobbing bullets your way.
theres also another visual effect: more lag
War thunder is very well optimized just get any mediocre graphic card
@@Кустик-п1м i think he meant server lag.
@@Кустик-п1м even cheap laptop works
@@Кустик-п1м My computer runs fine, its the stupid NA servers all of the sudden...
I feel like the Arty is a bit less helpful it can barely provide any cover
Yea, most of the time I just call arty in just as a ghetto smoke generator or a diversion from my flank... Now it's just a disappointing randomly targeted piece of RNG.
Tbf it's not meant to be a smoke granade
@@hamnporkgamer Yes Mr. Obvious... You'd be surprised, But I know...
@@Mar1s3z hopefully heavy MG don't cause lag and fog anymore
In before HE/HEAT/HESH rework...
Cooler Cobra bullying ships with tanks coming
Awesome quick content!
Will players want to Gijint to fix the problem not putting useless content
6:32 ITS BEST UPDATE EVER!!!!!!
That bassboosted I-TOW sound
The vulcans now sound like the Gundam ones, love it
You are a cool dude. This content is of nice value.
OMFG!!! They actually fixed the artillery smoke
yeah this is cool, but I wish my plane guns had sound
this update literally removed every plane gun sound, for me at least.
That's weird, the sounds for guns on planes sound way better now imo.
Check if you have any sound mod on your folder, i had the same problem, i removed my Sound mod and it worked.
There is a significant difference between the sounds of shells landing and being fired near you compared to far away from you, say like 1km.
Отличные видео, и часто выходят.👍
Finnaly saw tracks producing sparks on the AMX-30 when I drifted around a corner on Cargo Port.
AGM, naval 155mm caliber APHE and torpedoes dropped onto dry land also got new effects in Ixwa. These are more rarely seen but amongst the finest looking ones this update. Check em out sometime in test drive.
Really good review. Not too long and enough to understan whats new in the game.
Fiiiiiiiiiiinally! Updated that damn buoy!
as a person who knows extremely little about naval vessels, what was wrong with the buoy lol?
Love the new visual effect, but the new sound are just little fireworks...
Hey cobra nice vid ! I just have something to say, for me at least you're way too close to the tank you're shooting at, you could have made it from the spawn and in first person so we can see the whole effect instead ofit being hidden by the muzle flash. But everything else is prefect :)
sound very good
Yak-9K's new gun sound is slightly terrifying
Really nice made video. Thanks! :)
Thank you for this video.
Ok, that's actually pretty cool. I like this update
the aircraft sounds though😭
I think the best improvement is on 30 mm aircraft guns. That sound gives the shivers.
the sparks are more angled to one direction depending where the shell ricocheted to
I KNEW THAT YOU WOULD POST A VIDEO ON THIS
THANK YOU. that ricochet is incredible
Can we just appreciate that explosions looks so much fucking badass?
i think this was the update that made the m103 sound so good (especially from commander view) but now they changed it again. ): and noone has recordings of that legendary sound that blew me away the first time i heard it
Aircraft guns. God, the cannons sound so... good
Looks like they didn't like people using arty as a rechargeable smokescreen. I think arty should throw up dirt and debris that is lighter colored and thinner than the old black-as-tar smoke, but the new arty doesn't provide cover at all.

Awesome
We gotta admit, gaijin did a pretty decent job with this effects
And also they listened to some fan feedback
What about the new functional cockpit? I think that's a think now but I do know that there is the new huds for the cockpits
Okay but the artillery literally looks like some green screen explosion effect you download from UA-cam and add to your video for dramatic effect. It doesn't seem to have any volume to it which is a bummer.
The most wonderfull thing now is the new sound of the vulkan cannon, so loud 😎
Awesome video.
I did t notice any track change until ixwa strike so hot tracks isn’t really hot tracks until ixwa strike
On my side at least
Just a personal "gripe" for lack of a better word. This may just be me, but it would probably help if you backed up a few hundred meters when looking at the shell impact fx. I have trouble figuring out what's muzzle blast and what's impact smoke. Otherwise great vid

u forgot the battleship gun sounds
what about tracks freaking out when you land on the gropund from high up/
The atgm change is definitely my favourite
How to enable sparks. They used to appear more but now they seem to have disappeared.
i dont know if it is the game or my pc but im very confused right now everything in ground battles sounds different the machine guns the main gun sounds is it the update pls tell me ( the sound is somewhat different and i thought it is a bug or just that gaijin changed it)
Oh wow they sound so much better.
Did you bass boost the atgm by 2000 db
I hate the new artillery sound effect
It's so hollow like firework poping left and right
120 FPS IN 2018, 60-80 TODAY, EVEN 40-60 ON SOME MAPS
did you just anhilate that pz2dak with the kv2...
At least there's a little more weight 5o the sound of guns, and I'm glad the arty is not a smoke machine anymore
1:56 you went a little rough on the panzer ll
All the guns sound changes on plane guns sound great
Funny how he didn't show the german guns, cause those sound like wet garbage.
These look beatiful but gaijin should concentrate on fixing bugs that make game unplayable, not adding effects that nobody gives sh*t about. And also dev server should be open for more time than 1 hour a week so bugs can be detected early, not on live server
That ATGM looked so good
"Alot of TANKS was harmed in the making of this Video"
Finally theu changed the buoys with barrels, I've been asking gaijin about that for years now. Yes!!
Nice the only two games I have on my computer scp secret lab and war thunder both get updates the same time
Woah those new sparks look good
What is the best Nation after the Patch?
I wish we had more videos about the new aircraft gun sounds from the ground perspective, some of them even do the brrrt
now i want to play with my game sound loud
40mm sounded better B4, i liked how the Biplanes guns sounded B4 so cool, guess some of the new sounds are cool others not, but TY for Ur efforts and time for uploading Ur WT video.

why do the 7.62 on the i14 m22 sound terrifying?
Didn't mention any of the naval stuff 😔
new visual effect: low poly tanks
I knew I wasnt the only one having this problem! Hope they fix it
@@Demospammer9987 there is a compilation video here on youtube showing all sorts of tanks in this situation
@@schaab7203 yeah just saw it. Ixwa Strike in a Nutshell, right?
@@Demospammer9987 yea
Huh for some reason i never got this
the gun that are bigger that 20-30mm (depending on the nation) is so much meatier, love it
thanks
The 30mm is barely audible to me :(
The first effect:
The blast wave is visible in different times:
Left side: 0:17
Right side: 0:13
The blast wave cause image distortion in great part of the right side screen. And the left side, is smaller.
Thanks for your video.
The new arty looks awesome.
5:37 this looks terrifying jesus
the sparks are my favorite part
Apparently the aircraft armament is supposed to sound more suitable for on-air, but honestly I don't really think it sounds too great. The flak and bombs sound amazing now though! However, the party could deal with less sparks imo
The ATGMs are sooo cool
In short;
Previous: recognizable
Update: MY EARS! AHHGG!
this is great, but it would be better if we could see the bomb explosions from further away, so we can see the complete effect
Il be great if gaijin adds effect that torns apart vehicles after being struck by a bomb or high caliber HE or after detonating ammo
the only bad thing about this update is Arti. Before this you can hear artillery strike from other side of the map, after the update even when I was at the center of the strike zone I will took some times to realize I am in strike zone. It simply lack the sound and the dirt and smoke of the old one, it feels more like striked by tank land mine from sky rather than an artillery round.
I played 4 tank rb and all of them crashed mid game or before it
Smoke seems to dissipate faster which should help some GPUs. Everything got super loud though.
And this, full setting.
It's too bad they nerfed the visuals of the artillery strike. I used to use the smoke screen it made as a cover, or to blind an enemy tank to flank it
God they're killed my aircaft gun sound
It sounds better, stop being a War Thunder player complaining about everything.
It feels like we are back in 2016
God that 45 on the yak
