Infantry in War Thunder: what are your expectations?

Helicopters could also move strategic assets like artillery and recon teams. I saw a DCS server that allowed cargo helicopters to establish FARPs and AA batteries. I could see some use in dropping these near objectives or off in treelines but it would be extremely map dependent. Wouldn’t be too overpowered seeing how crazy SPAA has gotten recently. Might not always make it back to the helipad but you’d leave behind useful assets for the team and get points everytime they’re used. Not only that, but recon drones would have an additional purpose; scouting those assets for CAS, counter artillery, or direct fire from ground forces.

Possibly… The most I think i could see in-game would be the ability to pick up a transport teammates who were in vehicles below a certain weight and/or bring in replacement vehicles for multi-vehicle SPAAs.

Im doubting a high level of infantry incorporation in game, though the RTS elements could be fun (first person WARNO)

Thats fair. Its just wishful thinking tbh. I don’t expect gaijin to put that much effort into any aspect of gameplay. Especially if its any more than “move here and point and click”

Lmao

Hopefully never

I agree tbh. My personal prediction is submarines in summer 2026 and infantry in 2027.

Bro does not know about the WW2 cross-dressing soldiers

@Rikers_Beard “Will” was appropriate! We didn’t say it without a reason!

Assuming guns are relatively balanced it would be nice.

I miss battlefield 3’s rush mode. First marines land on enemy beach with LAV-25s, then blow up objective, then AAVs rush in (friendlies spawn on them)

The thing about battlefield was that it had OP guns like the M16A3, but it would be interesting to see how Gaijin balances modern weaponry; the slow firing AK rifles if realistically modeled, would be inferior in terms of fire rate and accuracy (MOA)

Agreed, been playing 10+ years and this will be the end of the game for me

i wish the infantry combat somewhat resembles that of SWAT 4 or ArmA; fast, deadly and innacurate at long ranges lol

in real life being infantry man during a mechanized assault was probably the worst thing tbh, everything could be instant death even standing too close to your own forces and if you didnt had some kind of RPG chances are you will need to hide from most APC let alone tanks but we gonna have to see how this unfolds bcoz if its infantry v infantry with the ocassional tank or plane (in a similar way airplanes work in arcade ground) then it would be quite interesting

I personally expect premium infantry loadouts that are better than the free infantry loadouts. Mainly that.

Just like real life? AT Infantry ambushing tanks?

Arent you in for a shock

Aw hell naw. I do t think well be getting any explicit things like that they want to not have a full R rated game. Remember this is a game where when u drill a tanker with 16 .50 rounds, they are “sleeping”
