I mentioned that two vehicles (Hellcat and Jackson) do have a new soundset and let me tell you now, it’s BRILLIANT. Personally, I think WG could go for more “Hollywood” sound, but it’s okay. The reload sound was added and it’s roughly the way Gnomefather has it. The bad thing is that from Hollywood movies etc., people expect even 76mm-90mm guns to go BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, while in real life, the gun sounds more like “pooof” – it’s an unusual sound and you will not feel like shooting a mighty gun (even the big caliber sound is quite muffled). Not sure if it’s realistic (tanks look like they have a crate of TNT inside them), but it sure looks nice.

The explosions are MUCH more pronounced now – when your tank explodes, you will FEEL it. Both now sort of look more pronounced – hard to describe, but the exhaust smoke looks more like in War Thunder, but in War Thunder, the smoke actually looks like if it’s vapour leaking from a hole in a boiler, here it looks more… I don’t know. Graphically, one more thing is different, the exhaust smoke and explosions. Not as smoothly as pre-9.0, but it’s good. This is actually really really great :) Also, the bug with the explosion sounds not pre-loading (first explosion lags the game) that re-appeared after one of the hotfixes was fixed again, so that’s good. FPS is smooth, 40-50, I’d say 5-10 FPS increase (I had 40 in “free” areas and 30-35 in “crowded” ones, now it’s 40 in crowded and 60 or so in “free” areas). Not sure what, but in like 9.0.4 hotfix, Wargaming did “something” that fixed the terrible loading times (that started in 9.0) for me.Īnyway, battle loaded aaaaaaaaand…. Pressing battle aaaand… the map loads really fast. So I decided to check the first three by loading up my Jackson and giving it a spin. new engine sounds for Hellcat and Jackson Installation, as always, was uneventful and smooth.Īnyway, after running the test client, you will not notice anything really new, everything is kinda “same old”, but the important features of this patch are So, I installed the 9.1 test client after all (the test was expected today, but its confirmation came literally minutes before it went live, hence no early warning).

Wot realistic gun sounds
