Atomic Thunder was meant to be an April Fools event, but yes, the naval escort mode with subs came basically out of nowhere
Do any have napalm though? I know the B-29 should have it because operation meetinghouse, but none in-game afaik
Hard to say which ones could have carried incendiary bombs and/or napalm. Some nations had more reservations (not everyone is as happy to commit warcrimes as the US, Third Reich and Soviet Russia lol) when it comes to using that stuff and just kept them around, but ultimately decided against using it.
Though Lancasters definitely did carry out fire bombing raids a couple of times.

So we’re getting a whole new side of the game huh? Great news I guess
We’re getting an April Fools event
Oh so it’s just gonna be a joke event or is it gonna stay in the game?
April Fools events never stay, at least not in the form that we get for April Fools

Please tell me the Infantry announcement isn’t just an April fools and they’re actually going to add it someday
I’m so confused, why is the trailer modern warfare when they talk about WW1 on the website?
So we js gonna forget how Churchill was first flame vehicle in-game? :P
Don’t forget IJA
Maybe someday… but for now its just the april event

Playable infantry like in Enlisted just isn’t gonna happen. WTs gameplay design does not pair well with playable shooter-like infantry at all.
Maybe we get AI infantry or controllable emplacements and/or squads, but not Enlisted kind of infantry

I hope the map from the trailer comes at least, looks like a city map I’d actually like, just needs fleshing out with more cover and such and it wouldn’t be too bad. The aesthetic is nice at least.
The amount of money and time that went into the april event…
They should have spend it on modeling and programming some actual bug fixes and domestic ordnance for some nations that dont have domestic ordnance yet, like Japan, China, Benelux and Taiwan.
But thats my take

Fair. I’m not gonna defend the use of incendiary devices against humans anyways. Just saying that some nations may have overdone it a bit at times.
Not that any army on this planet is entirely clean when it comes to this stuff anyways. Mixing science and war produces some real monsters.

Well if the “announcement” is taken at face value, it seems like something that’s in the works, but that’s assuming that we aren’t all getting fooled.
With the sometime-in-less-than-24-hours event, we’ll see how serious they are, but I think they might actually be serious considering they did say full-scale testing is planned sometime in the future, likely this summer.
Again this is assuming i’m not being fooled (I probably am being bamboozled)

Judging by the trailer the infantry assets could have been comissioned or even flat out bought from someone else, some parts of the maps were taken from Enlisted as it seems and the other scenes could have been quick and dirty jobs.
The rest is stuff that already is in the game.
Good
