Wccftech: We interviewed Gaijin to discuss their path tracing implementation in War Thunder and learned what features they're looking to add next.
I've been playing this a lot since I got my PS4. Very cool, though they need to rethink how they ease new players into the game. The menu alone is fairly intimidating, then jumping into an online battle and being shredded makes it even more so.
