TL;DR:
Sussus Amogus
Huh?
Yes. Crossover with Among Us. The hit social deduction game that gained viral popularity in 2020. People have suggested anime and other franchise crossovers, naturally an Among Us one would follow.
Event:
With War Thunder’s new event system this can just be a normal grind event for April Fools, which would be the easiest thing to do.
However, what if we also made an Among Us event mode?
Basic Idea:
“Urban” map, possibly Sweden. Tight corridors and closed spaces like the Skeld Map.
Everyone is in a “crewmate” Sherman (as its in every tree), which is in all the Among Us colours
Useless rounds or non functional gun
Boosted speed
Winch always on"Imposter "Sherman:
Same stats
Kills by winching other ShermansEveryone starts in the centre of the map
Kill feed disabled
Arcade mode-ish, everyone has their nameplates visibleTasks: Using War Thunder mechanics
ie: repairing machinery, pulling tanks a certain distance, “resupplying” in a cap point, shooting targets, etc.There would be a “button”, maybe like a cap zone in the spawn area, if a tank goes on and “caps” it, an emergency meeting will be called. The cap will take a bit to “activate” like in Among Us
What about reporting dead bodies?
Yeah I don’t know how this would work, War Thunder doesn’t seem to be able to create a mechanic like this.
But in theory, a crewmate tank could report a dead tank by “interacting” with it using the winch
Then, player control is lost for a “cutscene” like the nuke animation or campaign.
Everyone is teleported to the spawn
In order to “vote out” people, it would be like the order system, and players would shoot at the person they think is the imposter. When you shoot someone they get a “point” in the order, the player with most order points is killed, then a kill message if they are an imposter or notWhat about vents?
Sus. Venting would be rather hard to implement. I think there can be wooden pallets as the vents. An imposter can go on the pallet and “interact” with it. Then they get a map selection screen like when you call down artillery, and can teleport to other pallets.What about Medbay scanning?
A useful mechanic in Among Us is the medbay scan, which can confirm whether the crewmate is innocent.I think a way to implement this is calling down an “artillery strike”, you go to a part of the map that activates the artillery mechanic, which doesn’t do any real damage but is guaranteed to hit the “artillery position” (aka the medbay “scanner”). The only damage done will be to the barrel of the tank, an imposter’s barrel will be destroyed, but a crewmate will be left unscathed. This will take time, so if an imposter and crewmate are there, the imposter can kill the crewmate while they’re waiting.
Event Rewards:
9 Tiers/“stars”
Tier 1: Among Us Decal Box
Tier 2: Title: “Crewmate”
Tier 3: Among Us Decal Box
Tier 4: Among Us Crewmate Tank Decorator
Tier 5: Among Us Decal Box
Tier 6: Title: “Imposter”
Tier 7: Among Us Decal Box
Tier 8: Premium vehicle
Tier 9: “Ersatz” loading screen, ie a line-up of M10s with an Ersatz M10 in the middle
The decals, lootboxes, and decorators will be sellable on the market. If its a regular grind event some lootboxes can be added to some of the tiers
Among Us Decal Box:
Crewmate decals: All 18 selectable colours
Among Us logo:
or some other art piece (amogus pinup lel)
If you collect all the crewmates, you’ll get an extra decal:
Crewmate decorator: Just a 3D model of the red crewmate, the nendoroid is a good reference
Premium Vehicle:
In order to continue the Among Us theme, the vehicle reward has to be an “imposter” vehicle. An extremely easy reward to implement is to bring back the Ersatz M10.
However, if we were to add a new vehicle,
StuG III G Ersatz: There’s already a suggestion for this thing, StuG III G with some white stars painted on it, I would say this or the Ersatz M10 would be the most viable rewards from an implementation pov.
There’s also “VISMOD” tanks, like the KVT in-game. Here’s two examples
T-54 “Centurion”

AMX-30 B2 “Generic Soviet Tank” (these are truly the VISMODs of all time)
(Now this is podracing)
What about planes or boats?
Eh, IDK about “imposter” aircraft, other than Aggressor schemes like F-5C preorder camo.
For boats there is one option:
The German Commerce Raider Kormoran
But would Innersloth agree?
Ehhh, probably not. but we can hope.
