Could also go for total battles but naval battles tend to take somewhat longer so…
If we get rpg sticks for infantry at like 20-100sp? I’d play the hell outta them hunting down mbt’s lol
4k you pulled from enlisted is concurrent counts not really a fair comparison. The game is also dying and because its not inside the WT launcher people dont on a whim try a match out here and there like they are inclined to do with naval, the numbers for naval would be even more atrocious on its own seperate launcher.
Jea its not a fair comparison, but it gives an idea.
And i dont think it would change alot if naval would be seperate tbh.
Most that play naval, play it exclusive. Therefore they dont care if its a different game or not. And the few u get from smt like the battlepass challenges are not really players u want.
All in all wt already has a very big problem with to many gamemodes thst divides the playerbase. Adding to it would not make the game healtier.
Before u add infantry you need to add tank only… and that ist smt they dont want as they cant sell CAS there.
Player controlled infantry just makes no sense in this game.
15v15 and enemy goes into 5 infantry is like an autowin for the team with no infantry. One infantrymen cant carry alot anti tank stuff around and it cant attack an tank driving 50+kmh around and zooming across the battlefield.
At the same time u can just spray every infantry away with .50 or just HE.
Infantry is also very slow in comparison , how they going to be effective in the game? Just point defense? Have fun getting HE away or artyd.
Enlisted maps are much much smaller and the tanks are oldscool and spawn behind. Also the maps there have a öot of limits to where a tank can go and tanks are not third person.
In wt u would simply get shreddet to hell.
It makes not really much sense to bring or want infantry in WT.
Atleast that how i see it.
I feel like “soldiers” will take up crew slots, it will probably be a squad of specialized units, like anti-air, anti-tank or storm troopers to fight other infantry. It will probably be AI controlled.
The game texture’s and maps are quite low res for any type of first person view. It would be cool if we could control them in first person and get to engage other players and tanks in real time, but that’s Enlisted’s job, and it does it quite well. So, AI controlled units fit War Thunder better and it won’t siphon players from Enlisted.
But it could be an entire new game, infantry and War Thunder just don’t mix together, not to mention the ESRB/PEGI rating going up as well if they go with first person and show blood and violence like they did in the trailer.
