Gaijin Entertainment has announced the launch of  War Thunder Golden Eagles a new limited-time event for War Thunder, focusing on an unprecedented Rocket League football mode called the Fiery Ball. Just like in the title of Psyonix, in fact, players can board their tanks and play a "mechanized" version of the classic game of football.

The teams consist of three (up to a maximum of four) players, and the possibility of using weapons is contemplated - only that instead of firing a bullet, the use of the weapons of their vehicles will generate a sort of useful forward shot. for every situation. The winners will receive a unique decal with which to decorate their vehicles.

Among the improvements brought by the Dagor 5.0 engine are global lighting and contact shadows. They are supported by photorealistic weather effects, volumetric fog and smoke, thanks to which the virtual world of War Thunder is even richer in details. Another novelty is the temporary smoothing of the TAA edge, the anti-aliasing method significantly eliminates jagged edges of vegetation and smoothes out other objects while maintaining high efficiency. In addition, the way of creating landscapes by mapping displacement has been improved, resulting in a more diversified appearance of the surroundings. There are holes and ruts in the roads now, and - depending on the weather - puddles. With Update 1.77, players will see more details, including the lowest graphics settings.
