Do yall think that the closed Beta will be the december update or sometime next year
Maybe. at least within a 2 year window definitely.
If we trust the leak, we have basically all of enlisted’s equipment already.
We’ll probably get 2 more tests for a.i. and player controlled that’ll be in actual battles.
And that should be it except for more minor improvements (Also perhaps importing buildings from enlisted for infantry?)

Still a pretty fun game with good devs. I don’t think any sort of modern weapons infantry games should be made by Gaijin as we already have very good games on those made. An infantry mode or game would fail

Leak? What leak ure talking about?
Theres a discord server called “snailmine” where leaks and datamines for things related to war thunder get posted. He will mean a leaklist from a leaker over there.
Quite a high accuracy rate from those guys

So in short,
they found in the Data Infantry Weapons, Attachments and Equipment?
Do they know when that got added? With this event or was some of it already in the game? Do we know?
U made me quite curious.
And is it just Models, the same as we have on 3D decorations or smt different? That would also be interesting to know.
As of right now, i would have bet that they will never add Player Controlled Infantry into the game.
Largeley hearsay from people who are in certain circles. but this has proven itself to be accurate for years now.
no confirmations on if its just AI for ambience or if it will become player controlled. a later post makes me think its deeper than we saw in WW1 mode. May be deployable AI from battle taxis like the BMP or anything. we wont know for sure until gaijin publicly states

Hm,
Armored Warfare has deployable AI infantry in the game since Years, but i stopped playing AW before that got added so no clue how they perform there.
Just checked a quick video and i looks a bit like theres some variants in the infantry and they are specialised in some way.
But having that in WT makes barely any sense, as we dont have a Hitpoints System.
In AW they can do dmg, but like 50dmg a second when in range and the tank has 2000hp. Or Spot enemys with the spotting system. So its basically a support “item”.
But here in WT… spotting Infantry could be smt that could be somewhat usable. But AI controlled Tank and CAS damaging/killing Missle slingers… would be fairly OP for a non player controlled “item”.
And as Player Controlled it would completely kill the game, if they add it to combined battles. It would also mean that they would get sued by hundrets or thousands, and likely even steam, as they would go against the claim that this game is a vehcile combat game. As soon as u put player controlled infantry into the combined battles the game is no longer a vehicle game basically, as no tank, plane or whatever can compete against infantry in a City.
And making IFVs even more stong isnt smt they should do.
We do actually. component damage (breech, tracks, wing spars, crew/pilor and so on) all use hit points.
I have to imagine that if players are the soldiers the matches will be similar to battlefielfd but with more accurate vehicle traits.
At least they would have an actual reason to exist in the game now

Well yea, but u know what i ment. A “real” Hitpoints System.
Ehm, it would be quite similar to Enlisted, just more arcady. As in Enlisted you dont have a third person view on vehicles and stuff is generally is more true to reality, i mean, in WT most Top Mounted MGs are mounted by ghosts o.O … in Enlisted you actually have to stick your Head out.
Player Controlled infantry, depending on what they would be able to do and if you controll only 1 infantrymen, would make the game really unbalanced.
Just imagine, 15v15, 5 tanks + 10 infantry vs 15 tanks… if infantry gets only MG and stuff theyre useless, if they can get into building and get ATGM, mines or whatever, they will be unstoppable at a City Capture point. Running around, jumping on your tank, laughting at you. While again being useless if they land on Red Desert, needing to cross through relative open fields for hundrets of meters just to do what? Try to kill a Tank at distance while any tank will see them by an instant due to third person and MG them down?
Theres a reason why Enlisted and also Battlefield limits the available Vehicles and have a vehicle HP system in place that prevents instadeaths (unless someone places a mine or thros tnt at you from 5meter)
Huh? Being able to kill a whole team with your autocannon in 5 seconds, being able to scout, being fast is not a reason anymore?
Its like saying Arty in this game has no reason to be ingame, lets give them an “arty view”.
They are already capable enought, no need to buff them further.
Leaks say it’s a separate gamemode from ground, air, naval. Don’t get your nipples in a twist.
My bet is that they’ll add the separate gamemode with playable infantry, but also as we saw with WW1 mode, ambient/small target rewards type AI infantry to ground battles. It would definitely make maps feel more alive.

Playable infantry might lend itself to a slower paced game mode with longer battles, after all infantry take time to get places unless they come with transport or can ride in other players vehicles.
They might be pretty hard to spot on some maps, and would make excellent scouts, especially if they could call in coordinates for artillery vehicles.
It could make things even more interesting if they were able to man the AT guns, AA and artillery that are scattered around some maps.
If they could occupy buildings, but those buildings were destructible, that could also make things interesting.
Just thought but the half tracks like the M3 GMC would actually be decent with infantry following it.

Lmao the addition of infantry will just cause war thunder to die. The core of war thunder is vehicle combat. You can’t just change the core mechanic of the game. If gaijin wants to make a modern infantry game they can make a new game themselves. Don’t add it to war thunder. Nobody asked for this. And I think that the leaks are for vehicle customisation
I feel like there is a way to incorporate them as a secondary force if you spawn in a APC/ infantry fighting vehicle where you could drop off some infantry at a point and have them have light anti-tank equipment like anti-tank grenades and rocket launchers other than that there’s no really not much room in the game. I thought the world war I mode was pretty fun though with all the infantry running through the middle of the field and it would lend more use to .30 cal machine guns and such.
And maybe then we could have the addition of engineering vehicles that could place trenches and dugouts to go along with the infantry but I have the infantry still be AI-controlled but placed by the player.
Separate game mode
