World of Tanks set to upgrade graphics, physics this year

World of Tanks is looking to up its game in the coming year, and we'll be lucky enough to have front row seats: the Wargaming developers will be releasing a series of new developer diaries to catalog improvements to the game. Changes will include new graphics, new vehicle physics, and more destructible and challenging environments.

The team is also hoping to add atmospheric elements that will affect view range and structures that break apart using the Havok physics engine. The overall effect should be a more realistic, immersive simulation for World of Tanks' massive playerbase to enjoy. It's great to see that Wargaming's more recent release of World of Warplanes isn't slowing down innovation for the series standard-bearer.
