Your opinion on the update?

[No_Face]

So, what do you think of the latest update (only about tanks) ?

For my part, I am disappointed (even if I take anyway, it is better than nothing).

The pink/purple color of the exhausts looks realistic to you ? I have serious doubts about this, if there are connoisseurs, I want your opinions.

I like it, v good update with good visual effects as well as behind the scenes stuff, as for exhaust, a lot depends on the mixture/heat etc It can run from anything orange/purple / greens,

[NoelGallagher]

YES it looks a bit exaggerated

although it's nice to see they care about tank crew 

it's defnitely better than none

 

i don't know because i've never seen one in real life

for once  i thought the aircraft exhaustion looks very unrealsitic 

but after watching several video about aircraft start up

the reality itself looks exaggerated 

you can see the flame and gas coming out clearly even in day light

From what I see in game it's not as pink as their example picture was, and it's fairly transient (primarily during gear shifts).

I like it alot - any progress that does not hinder other parts of the game (like Gaijin has elevated to a special art form on WT),  to me is great progress.  I love that they added 2 new Ivan tank skins but next update I really hope they take some of the darker Panzer skins from the user made files and add them as well.  Thats my only wish, everything else is really really good.

I agree, I think it is a little over done. I think the effect looks real, but it is probably happening a little more than it would. I like it though and don't mind even if it is a little over done. But I think the update has more to do with getting BON ready.

[Na-zdorovie]

a lot will depend on your colour and gamma settings too

Im waiting for big changes to TC (mainly DM and infantry) and IL2 performance improvements(slowdowns).

So im not playing IL2/TC now. Maybe we will see something new next year.

I think it needs to be realized that this sim is  an accompanying add-on to a flight sim.   That sim named IL2 ,  so it naturally goes that alot of decisions made for Tank Crew are reliant upon  if that can  make things better  for the ground attack aircraft  in game.   Having more colorful exhaust  will probably be of the largest benefit to ground attackers looking for tanks in lower light conditions.    I noted that there appears to be more  smoke white/black billowing out  of the  tank exhaust also.    The constant  pigpen cloud  behind a moving tank, no matter the terrain unless you are on a bridge or a concrete runway, has always been ridiculous and a dead giveaway  to someone looking,  and completely unrealistic as well.

 

I saw it mentioned that the sovs got some more tank skins added.   good deal, the green, darker color they have is already a huge advantage in the trees.  I'm not sure why no darker skins, other than the PZ 3  gunmetal color, are available.   Camo was not a factory item.   the factory paint they use is a base coat,  because they know it's going to be painted over appropriate to the deployment.  Several talented community members have come up with some very nice ones.

YOu will be waiting along time for that,  infantry  for most players is really low down on the wishlist.

I don't get a "pigpen effect

PigPen       from charlie brown,  didn't he have a cloud of dirt around him whenever he moved ?   

[moustache]

well, let's say I'm happy to see an update for the tanks ... the small flames, the sound improvement, the smokes prettier ... and some bug corrected ... it's all nice , but it does not break three legs to a legless duck ... a deepening of the gameplay or an improvement of the AI would be welcome ...
