No and please don’t make any as they will be removed.
Which is a smart decision, adding infantry to normal GRB is a good way to kill said GRB.

Still no Swiss tanks
so far, yeah
Not happening
war thunder could have spec ops but with air around any human with any amount of armor is fried I must say especially since we get clusters soon
Would be great, AI infantry infil/exfil could be great for the mode along with cargo/transport aircrafts if/when they are added.

If it hasn’t been officially confirmed by Gaijin themselves, I don’t put it in that column. It would be in the “rumored” section but it seems like we’ll get that devblog relatively soon, so I don’t really see a point in putting it there first
