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)

Dear @Smin1080p_WT or @Stona_WT , would you be so kind as to offer some enlightenment if this news article was april fool’s joke or should we expect news about it at a later day?

honestly i wouldnt know where to start but i atleast would make it so its a different gamemode or toggleable setting like i said
and about the weapons i mean i suppose we should have different types of weapons and infantry based on br like how the pilots models change as you go to higher br’s

Somebody made a now deleted post on reddit this morning basically confirming that its not April fools and is a genuine thing, just timed poorly or timed perfectly to annoy us.

I really want to know how a random person confirmed it’s real.

They spoke to a suggestion moderator who confirmed it wasn’t an April Fools joke, Sorry previous post with link was shadow-deleted.

A suggestion mod would not have insider information.

I’m only speaking from my memory, I read and saw that post as soon as I woke up thinking it was a dream. Can’t remember if it was a Suggestion Moderator, but it was definitely a Moderator of some sort who gave a reply that it was genuine.

It was a curious situation. A user contacted customer support asking if the infantry trailer was an April fools joke, and the representative that responded confirmed that it was not a joke.

I am not sure if it is a good idea to put trust into a post. That was deleted.

If it were posted when it was still April 1st I wouldn’t. But it wasn’t, the image and responses looked genuine and it was one of two posts the user made today on the topic, both were deleted for unsaid reasons.
Customer Support! That’s what it was, thank you. Also glad I’m not the only one who saw it, I felt like I had hallucinated it for a bit.
this will make HEAT (FS) stock grinds much more bearable as HEAT can kill infantry

For those interested, the Reddit post is here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/1jqchgt/modern_infantry_is_not_april_fooks_ffs/
It appears the user’s account was deleted, for some reason.

I saw someone post the image of the email on the forum, it was swiftly deleted as well. It could be something to mess with us or throw us off because it was the 1st, but it could also be real, and it wasn’t meant to be fully revealed yet.
I don’t think infantry will stay or come in any other way other than NPCs, and the email was a mistake on behalf of the employee that sent it, Gaijin probably wants to avoid confusion or any legal problems.
