The details don’t matter, you’re still creating competition with your own product.
Enlisted is the infantry game. War Thunder is the vehicle game.
That’s how they’re advertised.
If War Thunder implements infantry, new players who may have otherwise played both will ignore Enlisted entirely because WT sounds like a better investment for their time and money.
When I first started WT, I had the choice between WT and World of Warplanes and World of Tanks. I chose WT because it had both planes and tanks in one game and since then I never gave the other two a chance.
Enlisted have vehicles as well so according to you they make competition to their own game.

WT already has a hugely successful playerbase. Enlisted is the new game on the block that requires a constant stream of new players to stay alive.
If anything, Enlisted should be “competing” more with WT to pull in more players.
I dont agree with that at all but its your opinion.
The details matter entirely. The gameplay would be nothing like enlisted as players would still be playing in vehicles only. The suggestion wasn’t for players to play as infantry. The suggestion is for A.I infantry to be used as an additional asset for vehicles. Enlisted players play enlisted because you can play as infantry. War thunder players play war thunder because you only play in vehicles. They are fundamentally two different games. Enlisted players would switch back as soon as they realize they can’t play as infantry.

Infantry with bazookas or panzerfaust for at, and at rifles for aa in WW2.
AT4, karl gustav, rpg for at, and stingers for aa in Modern Battles.
The system of deploying could be the same as the new ammo crate introduced in Fire Birds.

Or defend a point. You could have various choices as a plsyer.
Attack point A for example. Defend base. Or attack a point you click on the map like arty. Or defend a point like arty. Then yiu could change the orders by clicking on the infantry squad and “assign” new orders

Warthunder is polluted with botters. Aim bots in particular
And again, as I keep saying. There are too many planes. They need to randomize that. From no planes to many planes. Losing teams should have access to more planes than the winning side.
The objective should be to balance the matches to make it more “nail biting” so to speak.
Then heavy tanks, tank destroyers and even medium tanks should be limited. All these changes would definitely give new dimensions to the game.
I mean there were really a limited amount of tigers made for instance. Meeting one should be an “oh sh*t” moment. Not every other tank.
If everyone gets my thinking on all this?
I think it is entirely obvious how much people want this. There are so many incarnations of this feature that could be excellent and I love seeing the engagement here. I hope they listen.

I think gaijin thinks we want to control rach individual troop.
We should be controling a squad of troops.
Individual is for Enlisted
There are so many vehicles designed for infantry warfare that this crossroads that Gaijin has reached must be addressed

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

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.
