Agreed, it HAS to be addressed. Many of the vics we have are not meant to operate without infantry on the field, that is why I posed the question of whether or not it feels weird not having infantry in game. Also, yes, we should control squads as per my post, not the individual soldier.

Anyway, this suggestion goes more for infantry acting like a sentry turret, instead of micro managing every single soldier like enlisted

Ever played Enlisted?
Yes. Its not vehicle centric, the A.I troops are extremely buggy, it doesn’t have nearly as many vehicles, and the setting is confined to only WW2 era battles. If enlisted had Bradley IFVs, utility helicopters, and fighter jets, we wouldn’t be advocating for an A.I infantry mechanic for war thunder. As many people have already clarifed multiple times before, this suggestion is for A.I infantry to supplement vehicle gameplay. No one wants to play as infantry, as suggesting Enlisted would imply.

Exactly. No one wants to play as infantry. What we want is a GHPC style prop infantry that can interact by using small arms, and MAYBE give them AT weapons such as recoilless rifles and ATGMs.

we got april fooled
This april fool. Could be a good infantry technology demonstrator. Though I’m not in the same boat as Gaijin. That we should have full control FPS infantry system like Enlisted.
just A.I control troops (bot) like Infantry in GHPC would do.

From the event (WW1) news page
So, the AI infantry for regular WT is still on the table

Ngl, infantry in the ww1 event sucked. For some reason their hitbox were weird and they didnt do much. The only thing that worked was the mg nest.
Yeah, the hit boxes were a lil wonky but it’s nothing a bug fix won’t fix. They actually rushed objectives if friendly tanks pushed. I had one kill me with a grenade when I got too close to a trench. Biggest problem I had was getting killed in spawn before I could even interact with them.
Did they actually push with tanks? i thought they only went when capturing a point (and randomly)
yeah they pushed when you took it from the enemy team

Apparently, players have been asking about this feature for helicopters for about 6 years. Seems like they’ve been purposely ignoring the idea.
Well who knows, only time will tell us.
Remember we got a sussy trailer and the infantry leaks.
It could be a infantry update for WT (just like GHPC) or an update for Enlisted.
I hope so. This whole dying to CAS and spawn campers thing got old years ago. I don’t want to be forced to choose between using helicopters in ground or using them in a monotonous game mode like heli PvE. Don’t even get me started on ground assault arcade.
