stop spamming post bruh
As AI in something like ASB as a new set of objectives? Maybe
As AI in GRB? Ehh… Id be worried it would make the game even more into a MOBA
As for player controlled infantry? Probably not

Yeah kinda i’m still confused on that one trailer with modern infantry but we still haven’t seen anything for or about it.
No for playable infantry like what the April Fools trailer made people think was coming
Yes for AI infantry just scattered around the map like what was included in the WW1 event. (Would even go a bit further and say AI infantry that the player could interact with like deploying them to objective points to capture them or maybe deploying them to the battlefield where they could help repair friendly vehicles or take some shots at enemies.)

Infantry would only be of use in a different game - one at the level of platoon-company sized commands for players, historical settings and actual battle tactics.
Be nice if such a game used WT’s vehicle models - but otherwise there’s no connection.
And it isn’t Enlisted - which is still single-vehicle/squad sized FPS and no actual battlefield tactical situations

That infantry video was the best april fools they have done. People still believe it was real several months after.

If they just make infantry as part of infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers for simulator ground battles specifically and brought that map they shown in the video I wouldn’t mind.
But for ground realistic battles is way too chaotic for a more layered gameplay, matches tend to not take very long to finish, and simulator battles feels so empty.

No, it just promotes objective camping and matches will be over in three minutes.
For a.i. controlled units that could deploy from spawn/apc’s/and heli’s. Hell yea.
If its player controlled, eh maybe. Give me a large squad of infantry with those rpg sticks to run at the first vidar i see and we have a deal.
(And possibly add a function to leave your tanks. Might be cool if like 80% of your tank is destroyed, your crew bails and can fight from there)
I just don’t see it working tbh.
Closest guess is as some transport objective to be carried out by a mix of in game vehicles and specialised ones (mraps,APCS, transport planes, transport helis, landing ships)
We already have infantry manning the 106mm recoilless rifles in Heli EC.
The best result of having infantry in game would be to prevent gun trucks and the like racing around the battlefield without a care in the world, as an unseen squad of infantry could light them up with small arms fire before they even knew the infantry was there.

I would like them but I wouldn’t like them camping inside building or hiding is spot which tank aren’t able to shoot or they just use tiny drones and drop bombs on my tanks.
Depends.
*April fools trailer. It came out the 31st, yet gaijin later changed it to the 1st
