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”

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
