Recently with the addition of more IFVS and light tanks to the higher tiers i had an idea with another way to boost the amount of rp and sl tankers could get for the role they fulfill. For IFVS and light tanks it would be scouting or dropping troops off at a point to get extra rp and sl boosts. For tank destroyers it would be to kill 5 tanks of different classes. For medium tanks it would be to capture and or assist teammates in the match 5 times. For heavy tanks it would be to get shot and kill the opponent trying to kill you 5 times. The final idea would be for spaa to kill aircraft 2-3 times in order to get the reward for fulfilling their role.

Any idea to make it attractive to play “not meta vehicles” is a good idea.
Sadly, they will never put “troops” into the game, because “muh age ratings”

The only viable thing I could imagine being in game would be ARV’s (recovery vehicles).
Whilst playing them, you’d get rewards for:
- Repairing friendly units
- Pulling wrecks back to zones/spawn
- Creating ammo boxes which other people use

maybe no “real troops” but that you can bring reeinforcments to a cap point so reeinforce there your tank crew is faster or you can reinforce tanks who lost crew without beeing in a cap zone

maybe also build fortifications or move tankbarriers

There could be troops, but they would have to be artificially “censured” - There should be no rewards for shooting at them, they should take cover and hit the deck when you shoot at them, so they “would not die” and game do not get age restrictions
Some airfields have troops on them
Would definietly made this game much more alive
in my opinion if they add troops they should do it that you never see them or that you have a FSK 16/18 or what ever mode were they can also die
I miss when the Centurion AVRE had an actual unique role in this lol.
They just need to make IFV’s as effective as they actually are and have more maps that aren’t 100m meter range thunderdomes.Especially things like the TOW-2B are a disgusting mockery of the real thing in War Thunder.
Bradleys took out more armored vehicles than Abrams did in the Persian Gulf War. ATGM vics are a victim of Gaijin’s map design and the ATGM balance changes that have been done over time.
You should make that a suggestion to be honest.
That makes the case for such things to be added, as well as a role for them to perform.
That mission we had to tow the sturmtiger could be something that requires the vehicles you speak of.
I’d like to brainstorm this idea a bit more.
Very much something which should be suggested though :)

mid-late ww2 heavy tank be like: are you sure we can “tank” all those modern heat, heat-fs, apds, and apfsds?
They MG troops to death on the back of SP guns in this game.
You know they’re not dead, they’re just unconcious.
