I feel that way about a lot of the old graphics that are now frozen in history. That being said, this has been a long time coming. Especially wing vapor!
This is the only reason why I’m coming back to the game, quality of life updates always seem to make me more excited than major vehicle/aircraft updates😭
And after 4 matches you'll remember why you left 🤣 the damage models are all different, teams are just as bad if not worse with the premium sale happening, and (could just be me) since they made it so you can't lose money, payouts have tanked
@@kingtigor I think that change isn't very significant; I only noticed it on a couple of planes. I've only unlocked the US tech tree up to 10.7, so I don't have many planes that I could show 🥲. That's the reason why most of jets here are premium
It still confuses me why they don't add different style of afterburners to the respective aircraft. Older Cold War jets like those in the century series were often powered by a Pratt & Whitney afterburning turbojet with a single stage "pop-on" afterburner. Other jets like the J35 Draken and Mig-21 also have pop-on afterburner. How Gaijin has modeled all afterburner for all jets that would have it, is closer to a more modern 5-7 stage variable afterburner system which is the standard on all modern afterburning jet engines today. Between archived footage of these old jets flying, and footage of flyable examples today, there should be no lack of information about the topic
Thanks for showing them on exisiting planes, I feared we'd only get them on the new aircraft for now. And damn, they even updated the oldest ones like the F-100 and F-89. That's got to be one of my fav parts of the update
I kinda liked the old Super Sabre afterburner. The raw look of it made it feel less refined, as if it was truly the result of humans only beginning to understand afterburners and jet propulsion in general.
Some of these in the video are actually bugged. As much as I hate to say it, you've caught some afterburners with their visual bug. The F11 Tiger is a great example as you don't even see the flame at all. It's not supposed to be like that and you have to restart the game in order for it to work again. The same thing goes with some other afterburners like on the MiG-23MLD in this video. I'm not sure exactly how to explain it but what I've noticed is that there almost look like there are 2 separate flames in each others at the same time, when it's actually supposed to only be one. There's this faint outline flame which is not supposed to be there and requires you to restart the game again in order to fix it. On the other hand the F-20 TIgershark is a great example of what it's supposed to look like. I noticed this the first time I test flew the Su-34 and I was astonished with the new design, but when I wanted to hop in another test flight and record it, I noticed it looked a bit different, it looked closer to how it used to look like before, and I thought to myself like "I could've sword it looked way prettier before". And that is until I figured it out after restarting the game.
I only found 3 planes that I could test drive to show you new vapor trails. I saw it only on F-5, F-20 and Kfirs. Most of the jets are locked for me unfortunately :((
@@TheMikiosunfortunate 😢 i was able to try the dev server and i found the following jets i was able to use to have the vapour, f5e, f16, f15, mig 21, mig 29, su 27. i really hope they improve the look of the effect and hope they can improve the coding for activation times like airspeed and maybe temperature and altitude since they already kinda have those values in the game and in each map
Now if only they could remove the stupid inside afterburner circle PNG that they put in every plane. Kfir Canard hides it very well 2:23 7:11 Look at how the circle just pops in its so goofy
Warthunder has gotten to the point or, I have finally got my graphics dialed in enough that when I see shorts from dudes playing DCS I sometimes think it is war thunder
@@theannoyinghistorian1812 unfortunately I'm not having any other planes than USA. I'd like to show you more afterburners, but I don't have other interesting planes

btw you had a custom afterburner in the Old Kfir
@@RogueBeatsARG oh God I really thought that it's the original one. I'll cut this part from the video, thanks for telling me
@@TheMikios no need tho!
the glow changes on the afterburner too if you go from 101% and move it up 1 notch each time it gets brighter
That's what i was wondering. Thanks
Even though the old afterburners looked bad, I'm gonna miss them because they're so iconic.
Real

Damn you could impale yourself on those jaguar afterburners

Same, graphical changes make or break an update for me.
@ great minds think alike
And after 4 matches you'll remember why you left 🤣 the damage models are all different, teams are just as bad if not worse with the premium sale happening, and (could just be me) since they made it so you can't lose money, payouts have tanked
@ lmao you’re spot on too. I left the last time because the updates were dry and I hated the fucking fairies that played the game at the time
@ but the afterburner looks cool 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Finally they got rid of these old terrible afterburners 😁
Here's to them never returning
THANK FUCK I HATED THOSE THINGS
now we need realistic visual damage effects with jets when being hit by missiles like parts of fuselage cut off and no only wings
Agree
tail and wings come off
@@lxagttw tail came off only props few jets
Hopefully the F14B with the F110 engines gets the blue afterburner it is supposed to have.
Unfortunately I don't have F-14B, this was just Iranian tomcat with US skin 💀
@@TheMikios I saw that. Had the TF-30 nozzles
2:24 u are my sunshine, my only sunshine
🎶You are my sunshine🎶 2:24
😂😂😂
I actually liked the F-100 afterburner, it looked so violent compared to other jets
Really cool, can you do a vid with the vapor trails as well?

kfir canard you are my sunshineeee
The T-2 badly needs a new one
Its the same as the Jaguar as their designs are very similar
I think all planes will get new effects. He only showed premiums and event vehicles because he probably uses the test drive feature.

"wow thats a nice addition" *proceeds to download a realistic mod made by 1 guy in the community that look 10x better* Idk how they still get it wrong
Has to be comparable for old consoles they can’t overhaul to much
Lol the super Sabre has had the OG afterburner effect for a long time, they have not changed it since it first dropped 😂

I want more these are really cool

You should do a video showcasing all the alpha vapours

finally the jag will finally have a normal afterburner and not a weird one
So its an actual flame animation now rathan than a lightsabre thing
The F-100 looks so cool now
Now we also have to wait years for them to already update the awful looking wing vapor lolol
actually they changed it on the dev server too
finally
whats with the blue hue on some of those, looks like my damn gas stove
Not 100% sure but I think its higher burn temperatures, as more modern engines can withstand them better
@@NemesisVS i swear i dont see that in dcs
@@goldfishPACIFIER Su-34 and Tu-22 have it in dcs iirc
I think the tornado one is different
did you use raytracing in the new afterburner vids?
I didn't, my poor 6700xt can't handle well with rt
@TheMikios what postfx settings and graphics settings did you use then? it looks a lot better then the old footage
@@Ju2tMk I put everything on max except SSAA and raytraycing
can you make video on wing vapors pls?
Now if only they could remove the stupid inside afterburner circle PNG that they put in every plane. Kfir Canard hides it very well 2:23
7:11 Look at how the circle just pops in its so goofy
They are realistic and called shock diamonds 😊
goofy your ass
@@viktorberg1837 I think he meant the engine itself when it goes red, like, it just instantly goes like that, it really looks kinda goofy
The custom afterburners still better
the f11 tiger one is a bug
I’m really hoping bc wow that was the most underwhelming thing I’ve seen. If that goes to the live server, my Blue Angels child is being cheated
@@BigGreyDonut yeah its a bug that can happen to every plane
custom afterburner user:
Where did you get the two seat super Sabre?
Warthunder has gotten to the point or, I have finally got my graphics dialed in enough that when I see shorts from dudes playing DCS I sometimes think it is war thunder
It looks like its turning on and off. A shame that it isn't smooth. Maybe next time
😂war thunder issue is jets looks like plastics toys,rather than steel or skin
Does anyone else feel like the new ones look less punchier ? They are more realistic though
Mig-21 ?
What f20 skin is that? Is it in the new seasons crates or?
All skins are mentioned on description
@ Ty 👍
Does the Mig 19 gets new afterburners too ?
@@GenialeTortue1 it does
@@TheMikios Nice
Why are there russian missiles on an f14 😭
Iranian F-14, they do that
It'a the Iranian version with US Navy skin
I only just started to to like the old version nooooo
They’re not great (user skins are often way better) but they’re still miles better than the old ones, so I’m content.
For all jets or just the ones shwon in video???
@@Johnsonwingus for all
lol 2:24. There is a face in that afterburner when winding down. Just sayin....
why the BI
Show us the mig 19. The og king of shit afterburner

@@Soldo66666 there are every plane
@@TheMikios finally, i couldnt bear to go download custom afterburners for every jet to replace that vanilla shit we had
Children cartoon ahhh music 😂
The F-14's afterburner is atrocious
the jaguar e kinda looks worse as new XD
F-100 almost looks worse
The new ones look so weak and bad
This how they look in real life, the massive flames can only be seen in low light
Bro what are you on lol, the new ones are soooooo much better and way more accurate
