battles of the Staelite, as it was once hahahaha
I have no idea how new you are - just that you apparently didn’t know about space combat or you shouldn’t have asked the question!
Will this one stay? Hopefully yes - but not a lot of them do., and there’s already Enlisted for infantry combat, so there’s quite a lot of interest in whether this is going to be some sort of merge of game systems or not.
Best april fools for some time

I don’t think infantry will ever come to War Thunder- but I believe modern combined arms warfare is a real possibility they may be considering; be it a campaign for Enlisted, or a whole new game.
I really hope it’s the second; Enlisted is very cool, but, at the end of the day, the body itches to go back to a simpler and more reliable/familiar formula. Although, having the assets, it would be really nice to have a modern day Enlisted campaign too!
As I said; imagine BF, but with everything related to vehicles being WT’s (including our signature mouse controls for aircraft) and gameplay being just a biiiit more realistic and slower paced than BF, but still being faster and more casual than Squad.
If we get FPV drones then I would also expect the Goliath tracked mine for WW2 tiers, along with possible equivalents from WW2 and early cold war, especially since the Goliath was available during the Sturmtiger event.
I think Heavy tanks should be getting things like this though. They currently have no “special abilities”, unlike light tanks, medium tanks, and SPGs with scouting, artillery, and ammo replenishment.

I would jump if this isn’t added permanently

meh, the first Update of the new year after all the stuff that comes over the holidays has always been pretty “light” . . as far as I can remember anyway(but I am pretty old, so . … ) and they don’t all have to be mega content updates . . we have gotten pretty spoiled. And it will come to a point where Updates could become smaller, less content but still on about the same “schedule” . . time will tell.
I still get a little excited when new stuff comes in, and that’s a good thing . . . when the updates do start being “stale” all the time, means you are losing interest. WT is like an old friend to me, not ready to “cut ties” . . I still like shooting stuff . . . . pew pew pew
@Stona_WT Can you confirmed or deny if this will be coming as a permanent addition or just for april fools?

I just want the infantry if i’m being honest. These things could really add some balance to the game which would be super cool to see and i’m praying to what every god is up above that it is permanent.
Good lord no . . . Tailspin was bad, sped up far too fast to even be enjoyed . . . half the planes you shot didn’t even register because the game couldn’t keep up. And unfortunately, they have sped up Air AB at least twice since then.
Faster is not better, it’s just faster is all. You get to a point and it messes up game play so much that it is literally even worse. We are at that point with Air AB now . . any faster and it would be ruined for decent game play.
The planes looked kinda cool, but the cartoonie side of most of it didn’t appeal to me personally. I’m a gamer and not really a military enthusiast, I like shooting stuff . . but within reason.
idk if you were active at the time but firebirds got delayed by weeks meaning that storm warning had only a month of development. Gaijin should have delayed firebirds further and included storm warning within it
I mean tech tree layout

The trailer for the infantry April’s fool update is placed 17th on the YouTube trending page! The hype is really there for a modern infantry shooter with detailed vehicle mechanics.

I just need to leave another comment now that the dust has settled a tad.
I really like the idea of making war thunder have infantry. merging the best bits of Enlisted with the bigger game with the more players. Plus the modern combat fps scene needs something to spice it up and gaijin has the basis to do that
I pretty much completely missed that we will be seeing WORLD WAR ONE vehicles tomorrow. Ive wanted to mess about with a mkV or a sopwith snipe pretty much since I started playing WT over two years ago

I love Battlefield. BF1 and BFV being my two favourite fps games if you exclude the original doom trilogy. the one thing I wish was more defined in those games was vehicles. In other words how vehicles act in war thunder. Mix the madness of something like battlefield bad company 2 with WT tankers and it will be a wild ride

Yeah a lot of people are excited for WW1 content. Personally I think I will enjoy it more than the infantry. Maybe depending on how they implement infantry I might enjoy it so long as it’s better than the Mobile Infantry event I think it could work well.
But overall I am more looking forward to the WW1 content, specifically the aircraft. WW1 is pretty much the birth of modern combat with the advancement of tanks, infantry tactics and weapons, and aircraft with it being the birth of air combat and tactics which still influence today’s air combat. It would be a shame for War Thunder not to highlight one of the most influential wars in recent history.

I love enlisted despite its egregious jank and abysmal ai (even tho it improved after last years zombies event its still ass) I play it with two of my friends and we dominate in that game as infantry, the game lacks depth especially when I go into a CAS role. War Thunder is my main game, I’ve introduced one of my friends to WT and they like it but infantry will bring the other over (she gets motion sick from vehicle controls) this genuinely has the potential to be the perfect meshing of infantry with my friends and my love for tanks
