Enhanced Environmental Effects for Update 2.7

From the sand dunes of Skorpion Pass to the snowy valleys of
Severogorsk, the battlefields of World of Tanks are as unique as
the machines available to each nation. Each map is composed of
varied terrain including hills, grasslands, snow, streams -- all
of which must be traversed in search of victory.
Coming in Update 2.7: Grit of War, enhanced environmental
effects are being added!
New Particle Effects and Audio (All Platforms)
New particle effects based on the terrain you're traversing, and
which can be seen on camera, are coming for all platforms. These
effects vary depending on the tank size, tier and even velocity
of the vehicle. With these new effects, we've also added
improved audio to match the substance types.
For example, if you're driving over varying surfaces, you'll
hear small particles hitting the tank fenders, grass being
pushed out of the way, etc. The audio was specifically recorded
for this new feature, and they are mixed to simulate tanks in
real life!
You can hear the following substances interacting with your tank
when in the closest zoom setting for third-person, or in the
first-person view:
Concrete, dirt, grass, gravel, mud, sand, snow, water
The following items have new particle FX effects when
interacting with your vehicle.
Concrete, dirt, grass, gravel, mud, sand, snow, road, rock,
wood, water
Environmental Accumulation Effect (Current-Gen Platforms Only)
In addition to new audio and particle effects, current-gen
platforms (Xbox One & PlayStation 4) are getting added visual
changes to your vehicle depending on the terrain on which you
are driving on. The substance accumulation effects takes your
vehicle's tier, size and speed into consideration.
One neat feature is being able to wash the dirt and particles
off your vehicle by driving through water. Be careful not to
drown!
Here are some detailed examples on how your vehicle's appearance
can change:
Sand - builds up sand on various places on the vehicle
Dirt - builds up on tracks, road wheels and lower hull
Water - causes the vehicle to appear wet. How much of the
vehicle gets wet varies on the size of the splash when entering
water. This effect turns dirt to mud, and can also wash off
substance accumulation
Snow - builds up on tracks, road wheels and lower hull. Will
also accumulate on the top of vehicles when standing still, and
dissipate when moving
Grass - causes the tracks, road wheels and lower hull to become
wet, which can then be turned into mud
Update 2.7: Grit of War is coming next week, so stay tuned for
additional features and content!

This is nice, but they should have added terrain effects as
well. Love to see tanks slide off icy hills, get stuck in mud,
etc.
