Ah, true!
If War Thunder implements REALISTIC gun penetration and damage, then we may, at last, be looking at a game where guns don’t need to land 7-9 shots to kill someone past 25m…
See, this can be quite promising.
War Thunder’s infantry can become the middle ground between simulation and arcade once more which many of us crave.
I don’t like simulators because they are too long and slow, and I don’t like modern “arcade shooters” because they have become WAY too sweaty and reflex-based.
The CBT apparently is restricted to AH-64As, baseline Abrams, M3A3s and whatever the Soviet equivalents are. It’s not going to be restricted to fourth gen jets if they enable regular aircraft (which they most likely will)
there still may be a role for DMR because of this, since at medium ranges body armor can be a problem for stuff like the M4/M16 and AK-74, and they did mention body armor in the blog
It’s going to be pretty much like Enlisted. If you don’t like the way Enlisted works, you probably won’t like WTs infantry gameplay either.
i think it will be. even the earliest stuff you mentioned is still in 4th gen era, they only picked that stuff for early balance concerns
My only issue with Enlisted is that the AI squad mates are not… very bright.
It is impossible to sneak around or conceal yourself when these dudes will just stand up out in the open behind and on top of your cover lol.
I don’t even totally oppose the concept of AI squads, as they make the game less sweaty, slower paced and makes the battlefield feel even bigger scale… but man, PLEASE improve the AIs so they have a minimum of even basic notions on common sense.
So no different to War Thunder then :P
You don’t actually expect the AI in WTs infantry mode to work better than that in Enlisted, do you?
The Soviet equipment is around the 3rd gen jet era. Enlisted also has multiple eras.
I don’t know why you would expect the infantry mode to be limited to a post cold war era.
please make it solo player, i dont wanna enlisted 2
what vehicles specifically?
Mi-24V is a 1976 variant
Mistook the variant of the T-72, but the T-72B entered service like 2 years after the Soviets entered fourth gen. They still would have been operating most of their third gen jets.
so they are in 4th gen era?
and again, they picked these versions for balance concerns when it is very clearly a more modern themed mode for now. hopefully we can see Mi-28NM, Ka-52, AH-64E/D, and AH-1Z soon
Neither the Su-27 or MiG-29 had even flown when the Mi-24V entered service.
Exactly. For now.
Soon? My guy, they haven’t even opened CBT yet.
The Hypocrisy of China getting the Abrams and Japan not getting the VT4 is crazy. Either they both get import vehicles or neither do… imo it’s just so stupid.
Makes you wonder why they even added the Thai subtree to begin with lol
They just won’t give Japan the VT-4 and VN-1C because the Chinese playerbase has such a massive grip on Gaijin.
yeah obr 2023, its in the files again this dev
Yeah. The way to rectify that is to withhold the Abrams. They really can’t have it both ways.
so we can expect a new bvm ?
Who knows at this point.
They also put a lot of Aircraft Carrier and Submarine related stuff into the files and here we are with infantry instead
