Dagor Engine
The Dagor Engine is a 3D engine used mainly by Gaijin Entertainment for its own video games as it's a proprietary technology so far.[3] The original version of the engine was developed by Gaijin Entertainment and in 2005 they set up the separate company Dagor Technologies for continued development. Therefore, Dagor Engine is owned by Gaijin. Currently the engine incorporates technology such as the Meqon and PhysX physics engines and is up to version 5.0 since War Thunder.[4]
Controversies
The company gained notoriety for pursuing legal action against the owner of gaijin.com, an unaffiliated website that predates the company by 7 years.[5] The lawsuit was settled in November 2013.[6]
