[SUGGESTION] Sonic Booms

[Greyfox8899]

I was wondering if war thunder had a sonic boom effect at around 1220 km/h // 760 mph (sea level) and found that the feature has not been added to the game yet. Also if possible add the vapor cone effect around planes at high speeds that are low altitude. It would definitely be a cool add on (as i like flying really fast) and it would add more realism to the game. If a developer sees this please leave a comment and in fact if anyone agrees with this idea please comment as your feedback would be great. Thank you!

yeah that is true I forgot to say at sea level Thank you!

Well I doubt it will happen no plane in this game are made to be supersonic fighter, going over mach 1 result into critical integrity failure leading to wings ripping off

Not true. The Sabre was capable of Mach 1 flight in a dive. However, it could not surpass Mach in level flight with its engine, and therefore is fine.

The MiG-15 had a built in feature to deploy the airbrake after a certain speed (Mach 0,95-0,97 iirc) to prevent the aircraft from speeds of over Mach 1, as dives in MiG's were supposedly very dangerous.

Some things from a technological complexity standpoint are challenging. As it has been explained to me, the more that's added is increased load times, server strain, and requirements for computers. Last I heard (1-2 years ago), the reason why there are no nukes is simply because it was too challenging to model.
