Thanks for that information. I can breathe a sigh of relief. I do appreciate the WWI event going on right now though.

You mean how they have been doing the moments of valor videos with assets, models and animations not in WT? They probably just used a whole bunch of stuff from enlisted.
Was a fun april fools joke. They have spent the last 10 years or so making sure they keep their PEGI 12 rating, I doubt they would throw that away now for infantry when they have enlisted.
Not exactly true tho. The Anti tank weapon infantry had wouldn’t be more lethal than AP/ HEAT-FS that tank fire. (unless Gaijin add ATGM and javalin , tendem warhead and such)
Not to mention tanker in war thunder has 3rd person view (much better visibility) and repair system.
And there are many things that are a threat to infantry. HE round , auto cannon , HMG , LMG , artillery .
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. and maybe Infantry squad that player can order to go here and there.

so what? this roblox game is pretty advanced and that is exactly how gameplay would look in war thunder.
Nothing beautiful about rats sitting with a javelin in a building, war thunder is supposed to be a little fun and not total sweat fest

It’s amazing, but it really seems like AI-controlled infantry could be added to the game. For example, we already have plenty of IFVs and transport helicopters—they could deploy troops to captured points, providing extra defense. This would force the enemy not just to drive onto the point but to actually fight to take it back. It would add much more dynamic gameplay.
Incendiary bombs, flamethrowers, and other weapons would finally have a meaningful role in combined battles. Infantry would be present in the fight, but players wouldn’t directly control them, making every match feel fresh and unique. This would make the game more exciting and the maps feel more alive.
Since tank battles already take place on massive maps, helicopters could freely deploy troops, adding even more strategic depth. Additionally, high-tier AA vehicles—like Italy’s SAM systems or the Gepard—would have more significance.
Ultimately, this could turn tank battles into true combined-arms warfare. The developers have already experimented with AI-controlled infantry in the game, so refining and officially releasing this feature would be incredible. It would bring tons of new possibilities and make the gameplay significantly better.
But it seems like this will remain just a dream. Still, such battles would have way more teamwork and be far more engaging.

Dear Gaijin Developers,
As a long-time War Thunder player who enjoys the immersive and strategic nature of vehicle-based combat, I’m concerned that the upcoming addition of infantry could fundamentally shift the game’s core experience.
The current gameplay—focusing on tanks, aircraft, and combined arms vehicle battles—is what sets War Thunder apart from other games. Many players, including myself, value the complexity of armored warfare, realistic mechanics, and the tension of vehicle-versus-vehicle encounters.
If infantry is to be introduced, I strongly suggest keeping it as an optional mode or implementing it in separate events or battle types, so that those who prefer classic vehicle combat can continue to enjoy it without compromise.
Thank you for your continued development and attention to community feedback. I’m truly looking forward to seeing War Thunder evolve—without losing the identity that made it great.
Sincerely,
A dedicated vehicle-focused player

i really hope they actually make the infantry playable and not just background like in the ww1 event,
this has insane potential but the cherry on top would be if its a toggleable thing like night battles.
man this gets me exited for the future of wt i really hope it isnt just an april fools gag xdd

It’s fun for a dedicated periodical event like WW2 but how would you implement Infantry in a mixed era game? What would you have 80s uniform or WW2? What weapons?

depending on era
era IV - WW2
era V - post ww2
era VI vietnam war era/ 70’s/80/s
Era VII - 90’s, early 00’s
Era VIII - late 00’s, 10’s with exception of russians, early ratnik kit infantry, so 2016-2017 when they started adapting 6sz112 with 6b43 body armor and 6b27 helmets (or we accept 2020 ru tanks with 00’s infantry)
