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
This doesn’t feel like war thunder war thunder is known for the vehicles but now it doesn’t just have what it is known for I just hope that it is a separate mode so you still have the main game but according to the trailer the D point is returning
vehicle only combat appears to be what war thunder was known for in the near future. I recommend giving Enlisted a try to see what things may be like on a larger scale. its a pretty good game but the depth and content of war thunder mixed with that could be something magic
fair enough. Enlisted is missing plenty of polish in vital areas so hell let loose does shine above. It a bit like WT doesn’t always translate well to a controller so can really impact the experience
I wonder how much of this is in response to other games - eg Aces and Armour is proposing AI infantry that players will have to work to support in tanks and planes… so everyone is looking for points of differences in using infantry.
AI infantry hasn’t actually been a problem for over 20 years - Combat Mission managed it without much apparent bother from about 2001 or 2002
Some WT fans already created the gameplay for FPV drones and MAVIC drones used to correct fire for MLRS. It is very fun to play.
I hope Gaijin will do it as well.
From what I understand the trailer is an announcement of their plans for infantry and FPV drones in the long term for War Thunder. And the WW1 thing will be WW1 infantry with WW1 tanks and planes, at least to my understanding.
