Infantry and Expanded Tech Trees in War Thunder!

• I want infantry
• I do not want infantry

[Ghostmaxi]

AI infantry to shoot at like in the WW1 event would be interesting.

[tensilaspider]

Gonna go a bit more in depth from your poll scyobi.

• I want A.i. Infantry only. (Helicopter/apc deployed, possibly sent from spawn on a timer.)
• I want A.i. infantry and playable infantry in Ground battles
• I want A.i. infantry in ground battles and playable in its own mode.
• I want playable infantry in Ground battle and a.i. in its own mode.
• I want playable infantry in ground battles. No a.i.
• I want no infantry.

I doubt fully playable infantry is coming to GRB in this decade.

[tensilaspider]

So, just thought but if infantry do actually come. What are the chances of landmines being added Sense there would be an actual person/A.i. to place the landmines now?

And i guess as a side note,possibly trenches and mg nests if we go by enlisted.

[ItsOnyy]

It would finally make mine protection modules useful :D

[tensilaspider]

True true. Still kinda wondering why its a module in the first place without mines in the game lol

[meki98]

well if the leaks are true i expect it much sooner but definitely not this year
maybe an interesting April fools update addition

[meki98]

i still think they would most likely do a full enlisted war thunder merger

[Foe_Hammer]

I’d agree with everyone saying to play enlisted at that point. Land, air, and sea vehicle combat is what make war thunder stand out. Playable infantry has been done so many times that the gaming market is oversaturated with it. It wouldn’t bring anything that you couldn’t find in other games. Now with A.I infantry that’s a totally different story. Adding A.I infantry as a vehicle and objective asset would make this game even more unique than it already is and give players a lot more to do. Also enlisted is extremely mid.

Battlefield, Delta Force and CoD are all out and doing quite great. Gaijin would have some serious competition, I’d much rather have AI infantry, that you can control like an RTS game. It would add some much-needed atmosphere to the game and make some of the weaponry and forgotten shells finally have a purpose.

[Foe_Hammer]

Theres a few threads that talked about doing exactly that

Heli/APC Infantry Insertion

poll poll poll poll poll Hey there, hear me out, what if helicopters(of the right configuration) and apc’s could carry infantry squads into battle. They could insert these squads on to the field and then the infantry could be controlled rts style similar to men of war/company of heroes. Via a hotkey toggle you could swap between your vehicle and the rts control mode. In the rts control mode, you could order your squad to capture/defend an objective, attack a vehicle, drag each other to safety or…

Ambient Infantry for ground battles

DISCLAIMER: Infantry would not be directly playable/controllable and cannot be killed or interacted with while on the ground, and would act more as a form of ambiance to make the battlefield more lively. For additional info on specific questions that I have been asked previously please read the FAQ THE REASON: Infantry has been discussed throughout the history of war thunder in many forms and, in a few instances, has been added in some form or another, and issues have arisen from their imple…

you called?

[meki98]

But most of the Things found in the datamine would not makes sense in these scenarios

[Sawonian]

honestly i would much rather see all this effort put into improving existing game modes, simulator side of warthunder needs desperately attention.

@ItsOnyy

Battlefield, Delta Force and CoD are all out and doing quite great. Gaijin would have some serious competition,

Gaijin seems to believe it can enter this market. Remember that a part of this picture is the recent release of Active Matter, which they also have already developed a bunch of assets for that they can reuse in WT.

[Zulizia]

I’d love to see Infantry in War Thunder, especially with how well made most vehicles are and my love for guns and IFVs.

But yeah. I would much rather Gaijin fix the game first. ARB is a mess, Sim is a dumpster fire and all of them share the same issue: BR Compression. The maps suck, vehicles are nerfed and buffed inconsistently.

I think a lot of games would benefit from an “Operation Health” situation we saw on Siege. Instead of a major update, many issues would be fixed and nothing new would be added. Some of the best seasons in Siege’s history were just after Health or a bit later. I don’t think many people would mind War Thunder taking a few months to fix the most glaring issues in the game.

[Rinhord]

Jea lets make a vote… in a thread where people tgo to that have interest into Infantry… funny you :D

Next u make a vote inside a thread about the new CAS and call it “who wants CAS ingame”? xD
Or A Ship vote inside a ship thread :D

[Rinhord]

Gaijin also believed they can enter the market with enlisted, or recently with the EA of Active matter… biggest flop 2025. Especially when 3 ULTRA BIG competitors (BF6, ARC Raiders and Arena Breakout and even Escape from duckov which is pure PvE but still more what people want then Active Matter) released just recently xD

They also believed that a lot of players wanted Ships in the game… well the queue times tell a different story xD

CAS is btw no different, just because it sells good dosnt mean a lot of people would continue to queue up for combined battles if there would be a tank only mode.

And Infantry mode would be likely no different.

There is basically 2 modes that they need to add that improve the game.

1. Tank Only ofc.
2. A proper PvE mode.

Even though i personally dont seek for a koop PvE mode, thats still smt a ton of general Gamers like.
