We have the Abrams and Helicopters though

Sure we will have them in future, but I was just pointing out that they have baited us before. Ignore the content.
Did we get them during Rank IX event? No. That’s just the natural progression. My point was that they have lied on these news before, so don’t take their upcoming “large-scale closed beta test” for infantries news seriously.

Can anyone help me with the song though
I think it probably is april fools, but I feel like it is weird that the event gamemode is based on WW1 because that is very different than this announcement and iirc normaly the april fools stuff is pretty clearly related

Yeah, im thinking the exact same thing. Though for sure it aint real, it 100% is there to test some feature. Usually the feature tested isnt obvious (ie mobile infantry tested spikes)

they have baited us before but that is a really bad example because most of that could be true (the only bit false is M1A2 is already in rank 8 and was in rank 7)

dooner? gooner?

They’re probably testing the infantry, but only AI controlled ones in trenches, not playable. We might see them add those for all maps in the future.

This is such a fun topic to speak on aha! Everybody wants to hear that fkn SQUISH sound from command & conquer along with the death scream when the infantry get ran over also!
The game would not be made better by adding a half-baked crappy Infantry system. People hoping for this are not aware of how War Thunder works or how gaijin develops.

While true, the problem I have with that statement is, back then, we hadn’t even gotten a T-72 yet, at least from what I recall, so the absurdity of those claims are readily apparent. And, even so, at this point, we know we will eventually get all of those. It’s also the fact that the trailer didn’t drop on April 1st and that Infantry in War Thunder isn’t that absurd. They also usually do one event, not two, so it would be entirely new behavior for them to do this. It doesn’t track well with Gaijin’s past behavior.
My guess is that Gaijin is considering merging Enlisted with War Thunder due to the title not doing very well, whereas War Thunder is doing quite well. Enlisted, at this point, is in many ways a War Thunder gamemode that is arbitrarily split off as it’s own title, so why not merge the two games and leverage War Thunder’s renown? The trailer was to see how the playerbase would feel about infantry. That way, if it’s widely panned, they can easily walk it back as a joke, but if it garners hype, they can move forward with it and start playing around with the idea more seriously.

I hope we get Infantry tech trees!
The addition of infantry could also mean the addition of SPHs like the Hummel, or M7!
They made a whole game that is war thunder with infantry. No reason to add them to war thunder.
