It's not what your computer can handle, it's what you can handle.... for example that blur effect in air battles gives me headaches, even if it looks good.

Try maxing out the settings absolute maximum with everything thrown to its limit, if it lags a lot, gradual decreases to some settings you think do not benefit you can be turned off or lower all settings a small point to even your FPS and graphics evenly.

Agreed, I dislike Blur effects at the best of times, at worst I feel like my brain is dying horribly, especially when waking up and jumping onto WT or another game that has it.

Not a fan of blur effects either, but for a real brainache try the fish bowl effect in Armored Warfare on full. The sad part is you can't even turn it completely off ...

I have a gtx970 and i use max settings not movie, and manualy i selected fxaa instead of other form of anti-alising and it looks pretty good and works very well.

Sadly, the highest AA setting is 4X. For people who are used to 8X or 16X, this is pathetic.

Oh I hate the lens flare! My eye ball is not a piece of glass!


This game is really well optimised. I'm on a pretty average machine and I can run it at maximum @ 60fps. It looks great too.

you can push the graphics even beyond the limits of the launcher (or in-game) graphics settings by editing certain settings in the config.blk but it's not really easy to describe and you may need to test quite a lot ^^

however if you got a nVidia videocard you may want to have a look into the DSR settings (dynamic super resolution) - with DSR the game is being rendered at a higher resolution and downscaled to your monitors resolution... in many cases this will improve the graphics quality.

almost sounds as if you got motion blur enabled... while this setting has been removed from the launcher and the in-game graphics settings it's still available. you should have a look into your config.blk (located in the WT main game folder) and look for the following line:

motionBlur:b=yes

if you got the line / variable (in most config.blks it's not present anymore) you may either change it to no, remove the whole line or just delete the config.blk and start the launcher - it will create a new (default) config.blk (most likely) without the motionblur variable ^^

(the config.blk is a basic text file thus it can be opened / edited with any text editor like notepad, wordpad, editor etc)

I have a Gigabyte GTX 1060, but I would like to ask if you have tried editing the config beyond even what the normal settings appear as I wanna know so I can test how far before nothing works anymore and see if I can make War Thunder hate me XD.

Make War Thunder hate you? How would a moderator make the game he's moderating hate him?
Custom, everything in max. I run this game on max graphics at 30-45 fps. Those losers on low graphics are missing out.

Max on 144 fps here. The max 30 fps people are missing out.

Please don't insult others because they do not have the needed PC components to play on maximum settings, it is uncalled for.



Sigh..........It was a joke btw. He said the ulq people are missing out, I used the same format. You have deleted my threads before so I guess it makes sense that you think I'm "insulting".
