The update currently brings new tracks for selected popular ground vehicles, while others will get the upgrade later.

If a tank drifts on stone or concrete, or turns sharply on asphalt, the all-metal track will give off a sheaf of metal sparks. When a shell hits a track, the track breaks exactly at the segment where the impact hit. During acceleration and braking, it tightens or whips, and also sways for some time after the vehicle stops. When passing over humps and potholes, the caterpillar bounces on the wheels. The new caterpillar tracks on War Thunder armoured vehicles consist of separate segments, each of which has physically accurate properties. Players are getting new visual effects for ground and naval vehicles, the Italian helicopter tech tree, legendary battlecruisers Von der Tann and HMS Invincible, as well as a many other new military vehicles.
