Infantry and Expanded Tech Trees in War Thunder!

Took ages to load, was about to choose a vehicle, got Processing Operation, then could not enter battle as spawn timer got stuck at 7 seconds. Maybe this is the genuine WW1 feeling of frustration experienced by soldiers back then? Although I would not grumble if I somehow missed out on going over the top of the trenches :)

Like the infantry in Enlisted, except for the one your using the rest is AI .

Also, standard voice commands not working for me.
Got into second battle, voice commands work now.
But I don’t see any enemies at all, no markers for tanks or infantry.
I just get blindshot to bits from all direction when I try to cap, and I feel totally helpless.
People say that this is Arcade mode, well it is not for me.

Yeah, people are STILL complaining about tanks having bushes, but think a few dozen grunts hiding in bushes with javelins and kornets all over the map is a good idea. Not to mention this will be another “Russian Bias” issue as NATO tanks lack effective HE, something Ukrainians have been VERY vocal about with their western tanks.

There are non-playable infantry in the event, they run about between trenches etc.

I hope beyond hope that this is an April Fools joke. I play this game for the vehicles. If I wanted a first person shooter, then there are dozens upon dozens of options, including Enlisted which IS this game with infantry. There is no reason to have two games that do the exact same thing. I came to War Thunder from World of Tanks because WT is just better. More realism, everything on the vehicles works and we can even make skins for the individual vehicles, something I have really enjoyed. Turning this into a FPS ruins the vehicle aspect game entirely. PLEASE don’t do that. I don’t want to have to go back to WOT for my vehicle vs vehicle gaming. If others like the Infantry aspect, you have other options to chose from, especially Enlisted. Don’t ruin what works. I don’t want to have to leave this game.
