Squad has a way better playing experience compared to War Thunder. If I wanted to play infantry, I would not want to grind 5 months from a pistol to an assault rifle.

What do you guys think progression would be like?
Like having an M1 go to m4 then to M4A2 separately like the Vehicle tt?
Or having full equipment bundles based in era like ww2, Korean, modern?
I would do by eras. And the new equipments like the modules of the vehicles

This is the best argument against infantry in war thunder to be honest.

Thats why am pretty confident it wont be ai only
Infantry Tech trees with weapon upgrades wouldnt make much sense if we just had random ai running around (ww1 event).
Its also the best argument for infantry if you are the snail
Given Naval is dead and the powercreep will grind to a halt next year (something we already see in Ground if you have the leopard 2a5 there isnt really a Drive to get the 2a7v compared to like Mirage vs rafale OR su27/sm vs su30 which are just wastly superior across the Board)
So having infantry to grind could get the powercreep mill going again

War thunder is not modern enlisted. Gaijin can make a new game if they want to do that. Infantry just messes with the core of war thunder, which is vehicle combat.
It wouldn’t disturb the core game if its in its own, separate game mode

Like, say, it was Enlisted…
Yeah except not at all because other than there being infantry there’s nothing else similar about them

Well if it was its own seperate game mode then what would be similar about WT??
Enlisted of course uses WT vehicle and aircraft models and game systems…

If it was a seperate gamemode you might as well just make a new game at this point. Quite literally no one wants to play an infantry mode
So… Enlisted then?? 🤣
I’d much rather infantry be map elements.
Not player controlled. Simply additional objectives to bomb/rocket/strafe in ASB/ARB/AAB and maybe as part of more complex attack/defence style objectives with asymmetric spawn point allocation for GAB/GRB/GSB (tanks covering the advance of infantry on Iwo Jima vibes. )

Indeed - like the ground targets in air battles??
yep!
I think it would enhance stuff nicely in such contexts. Il2 has swarms of infantry as possible ground targets so it has precedent for similarly rated games.
This is just dishonest
You know full well some people want it
And this is warthunder you could tell what ever, there would still be a few individuals that want it

Sadly the date is totally useless
Its not the 1 april but its way to close to say its not an april fools joke
Maybe someone at gaijin couldnt wait
Or just was in the wrong time zone
AI Infantry is what majority of players want when Infantry is mentioned. I’ve said this a bunch of times on similar discussions, but the Infantry that most players want would be added into the game as an additional asset for vehicles. This would keep the game vehicle centric, having vehicles like IFVs and helicopters use them to complete objectives. Theres little to no reason to drive a Bradley or BMP into a fight full of tanks if they aren’t carrying Infantry. I don’t think too many people want this to become an FPS or Infantry shooter. Even if A.I infantry doesn’t make it to Ground RB, it would allow for the addition of new objectives and mechanics in other gamemodes like Heli PvE, Ground assault arcade or Enduring confrontation. (Really just tired of the snail adding slop instead of making the game fun)
