So far the Infantry CBT is supposed to have 2 difficulty modes: Arcade and Realistic and 1 game mode: Domination and the infantry themselves are going to be like Enlisted, you spawn a squad and control one soldier in the squad and the rest are AI and you can give them orders to follow. As an Enlisted player and someone who has grinded all the way to BR V in Enlisted, I have to say that this will not be a good idea or else Enlisted wouldn’t have been this abandoned. I personally didn’t play much Squads mode in Enlisted and always played Lone Fighters. Gaijin’s AI is currently dogshit as you have already seen in bomber gunners and are even worse in Enlisted with controlling infantry. The AI soldiers barely last 2 minutes on the battlefield, they can’t even defend themselves and are free points for the enemy and will only pollute the area.
Instead of this mess, why doesn’t Gaijin follow the path every other successful FPS game is following? A sort of warfare mode that everyone can spawn in as many times as they like until one side loses due to score loss instead of running out of players. We don’t need shitty AI soldiers that are only good at dying. Let everyone spawn one unit at a time and control that unit only with unlimited respawn chances until the scores run out. Make the infantry be free of any spawn point cost and only the vehicles have to have a price and even they should become free again after some respawns so if one team is spawn camped and can’t get any points, gets a chance to get in a vehicle after some respawns and gets a chance to push the enemy back.
Don’t be afraid of following Battlefield or other FPS games just because War Thunder got popular because there was no game like it back in the day. Gaijin probably is afraid of not being unique because it thinks uniqueness is what made War Thunder successful and wants to follow the same strategy with infantry and is afraid to follow Battlefield even though Battlefield showed what the players love and want from an FPS game.
Hopefully they also get there own place on the form as well
Agreed, I don’t want war thunder becoming like enlisted, which is fun for a bit and then becomes incredibly boring. It’s an interesting addition to the game, but having ai infantry in the squads is gonna be annoying, I guess we’ll see in the beta test tho
I also hope the maps will have areas like tunnels and pipes you can run threw and flank armoured vehicles without being too exposed
Everyone in a tank is gonna get so annoyed when they get killed by infantry spammers and everyone playing infantry is gonna get annoyed when they get killed by a tanks machine gun, gonna be an endless pain cycle
I hope so.
But I’m concerned, Gaijin will just keep the same selfish attitude towards players that they showed in the Q&A video and go on their way anyways.

True. Something like Battlefield would be awesome.
I’ve always wanted a game like Battlefield but with vehicles that have War Thunder damage and performance models not the looney tunes kinda vehicles they currently have in Battlefield.
I guess a 125mm APFSDS to the infantry soldiers’ private part can be considered an attack to the D point.
I meant like infantry (Japan) (Italy) section so we can dump all our suggestions for equipment but fair enough
Providing it doesnt shell shatter :P
Hopefully we get strange cold war equipment like the de Lackner HZ-1 Aerocycle
Gaijin will most likely add those nations in the future as well. Any grounds for the snail to make a premium and grab a dollar is a good deal for the snail.
Give it a month and with how buggy the code is, we will surely see some videos of shells doing nothing to soldiers lol.
Hmmm, not sure if it will be added if there’s no equivalent to it on the enemy side. But hey, we got the sturmtiger and no other nation has a 380mm rocket launcher so there’s some hope.
lol would be cool to get personal equipment like the Williams X-Jet
there are anti mine equipment that have similar warhead size and can be used as emergency artillery. There are a lot of derpy personal aircraft stuff developed by many countries military’s and arms companies. There are also some more in development of late
i hope we can disable the stupid ass AI squads. they were the most infuriating part of enlisted for me. I want to be an individual soldier without lobotomite bots giving away my position.
+1 Please no AI Squad, just make it Lone fighter mode, Gaijin please the game will fall like hell! I don’t want the “mess around and find out” expression to apply when you can easily cross the idea of squads out.
On the other hand, I’ve always wished War Thunder had the same level of immersion Battlefield has. Even if it’s not very authentic, firing at a tank and blowing it up just feels lot more vivid.
