Tanks to the hard work of Wargaming, the World of Tanks 8.0 update brings a slew of new visual updates to the creaking graphics of the free-to-play MMO. The entire engine is receiving enhancements that will optimise the game for lower-spec PCs and ten levels are receiving complete overhauls to sparkle on the more powerful computer-boxes.
The firstlevels receiving a dash of paint are:
- Himmelsdorf
- Mines
- Lakeville
- Sand River
- Cliffs
- Fjords
- Mountain Pass
- Arctic Region
- Westfield
- Karelia
The rest of the maps will be receiving updates in time.
According to the preview video narrator, the visual update will
make the golden browns of Redshire “Scream Autumn”. I don’t know
what screaming Autumn is but it doesn’t sound like it would fit the
tone of John
Clare’s ‘To Autumn’.
Along with the 8.0 update will be upgraded physics and a clutch of
new tanks. No firm word on a release date, yet.
