Dagor Engine

The Dagor Engine is a proprietary game engine used by Gaijin Entertainment.[23] The original version of the engine was developed by Gaijin Entertainment and in 2005 the separate company Dagor Technologies was established for continued development. Currently the engine incorporates technology such as the PhysX physics engine and has been updated to version 5.0 since the release of War Thunder.[24]

Controversies

The company gained notoriety for pursuing legal action against the owner of gaijin.com, an unaffiliated website that predates the company by seven years.[25] The complaint expired and was automatically withdrawn in November 2013.[26]
