Game Update 1.0.8
[h2]Dear Tankers and Mechanics![/h2]
[h3]Sitrep[/h3]
here comes eight update for the game. We have increased the number of tracers and their visibility, but we are not finished yet. There will be more modifications next week.
One of the important corrections solved the problem with the powerful 'T-70'. It turned out that ricocheting shells were able to fall into the next frame during the calculation (literally teleporting) and cause penetration and destruction, for example, on the Tiger's turret roof. This was not specifically about the T-70, but the T-70 was often able to cause quite a lot of chaos.
We have also found issues with sounds - when for example engine sounds were gone. Game actually used 64 channels instead of 256 - even when it was set to 256 in game settings. Game now should apply setting to max channels - WARNING: changing the audio max channels will apply only after full restart.
Tiger H1/E and other tanks received an update for periscopes and now they should only render when it should. Before render textures could render on hatches meshes which caused graphic issues.
We have also modified a bit tracers for weapons - there should be more tracers visible but it is not done yet. We are working more on this topic.

[h2]Known issues:[/h2]
- Minimap on SM2 Morton Defense is broken
- Chinese localization is under heavy improvements currently
- missing tutorial - bigger subject
- Currently, everything is sitting on one processor core, which means that the rest of the resources, e.g. the GPU is waiting and only for example 20% of the graphics card can be in use. So there is a lot of potential to free up, which will result in an increase in FPS, better textures because more can be allocated, etc. So in basic words - no matter what GPU you have, the better CPU the better game will have performance - This is huge thing that we need to address in upcoming updates
- of course there is more...
Thank you for your support, we are working. See you next time!
