“that fake rust btw is retarded, no tank would’ve been in that state in operation, not even the most beaten T34 after spring thaw”

During war times, you don’t have time to polish, clean and paint your tank to perfect, during peacetimes, the tanks will be polished and look new. Don’t confuse peacetime tank looks with wartime tank looks. Also, the rust is just surface rust, not even close to making a difference. Imagine your grill, it’s outside most of the year maybe? It’s rusty too perhaps? Just scrape that rust off and it’s like new again.

Also, there is a Bf.110 that has been lying on the bottom of the ocean for 70 years and it isn’t disintegrated, it’s rusty as hell though, and the hardness of the plate is probably down a bit.

This small amount has no effect.

Amount of stupid is too high. “Barely functional”? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. None of the rust is even close to through the entire thing, it’s just a little bit of surface rust, it has no effect on the tank what so ever at all, not even when it comes to resisting shells. That’s why you fail.

Now if the engine was rusty, that would be a bigger problem.

Well wg or serb won’t ever admit any mistakes or any other game being as good as their own. I think thw wt model looks amazing. The wot model looks like it is very very old. Plus the wt engine will probably look better and run more smoothly.

It has to be said that the kv model is kinda old and was done before the new graphics system was introduced in 8.0. But the new models don’t really look any better. A lot of it is down to the graphics engine wot uses which is really old and has poor performance. Wot developers are not exactly the best ones either and most of the time fail at the most simple tanks given to them…

What did you expect SerB to say? “Yeah, Gaijin’s tanks, planes, and overall game engine is vastly superior to our old unoptimized trash”. No, he’s going to troll/lie instead. If you were able to show Stevie Wonder those pics he’d even say WT looks superior.

what i noticed the most was the armor angles, espeically with the IS-3; just by looking at the difference in armor angling alone, you can tell that Wargaming had political and national bias when making the model of that tank; in the WT model, the penetrable lower glacis is far more exposed. There are similar issues on the IS-4 with the side plates that are obvious just by looking. I’m going to enjoy Warthunder, if only because i know that i won’t necessarily have to see my shells bounce off of armor configurations and angling that never existed!

That’s like saying “the game has bad optimization but luckily there are people who optimize it slightly at the cost of more terrible graphics”.

Just compare the additional track guards of the two IS-3′s.
Now give me an honest answer: which one looks better?

Haha, that was a good one.
WT has better optimization than WoT. Accept it.
And even if your texture-compressed polygon-reduced modded WoT would score a better performance, WT still has the prettier graphics.
And besides of that, there is no need for a compressed-texture mod for W because it has a setting for old computer hardware already. Plus textures generally do not influence your FPS, just the load of the GPU’s VRAM as long as it has enough VRAM.
If you would put both graphical settings on the same level, WT would outscore WoT by ease.
