Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 1)

Assumption after assumption after assumption lmao.

There is nothing that confirms a combined will ever come. This is 90% sure just a one off april fools gamemode or something for a different game.

Also lmao what? They have made entire articles and trailers for april fools jokes pretty much every year for the last 10ish years.

watch it being real and you getting fooled by thinking its not when it is. i like when gaijin does the mental games.

The date on the announcement even says April 1st despite todays date being March 31st

I think you are the one coping and will be the one in for a rude awakening, I’m sure Gaijin would gladly give up the ability to market the game to teenagers and shoot themselfs in the foot just for a combined arms gamemode.

Holy mental gymnastics

So guys are we think infantry is a permanent mechanic or just for April fools? Stona made it sound like they will be in the game as a permanent addition but I might be wrong

90% sure it’s april fools, and 90% is generously low estimate.

They often make it sound like that for april fools gamemodes. Just look at the Silent Thunder april fools in 2018 (don’t mind the article date on that one saying January 1st 2018, something is wrong with some of the old articles on the website).

I really hope the WW1 stuff is the april fools event and we get infantry becuase they would be sooooo cool.

Personally I am hoping for WW1 to be permanent. Would make sense with a lot the content (aircraft) has already been made for Aces of Thunder so it can easily just be ported over.

The infantry is guaranteed to be riddled with bugs so I think it would be better if that was the test so that Gaijin has a chance to fix issues and look at feedback from the test then add it later on in a more refined state. Granted Gaijin never has been any good at listening to feedback or refining anything.

But whatever stays will still be pretty cool. Just I would prefer WW1 to stay and let infantry be properly sorted to then later be introduced in a good state. WW1 I feel like would take less time to get right so I think that should come first, then infantry can be focused on to make sure they get it right.

That could be cool but I feel like the point of infantry could be to balance a lot of things at a lot of BRs. Maybe they are the link to long range sam sites and anti tank inplacements . Would make cas have to target them because if they don’t their team would lose.

Not saying ww1 shouldn’t come but it’ll great if they could come together

Honestly I think they could stay together with this. We are getting limited to WW1 according to the post so it I’d guess that would be a good starting point for infantry to then be expanded upon later on. Then alongside it keeping the WW1 vehicles since the models will already be there. Would be an absolute waste not too.

Additionally it could give extra benefits to IFV’s and engineering vehicles

Stona said that starting tomorrow the test for the both of them will open as one event. Maybe this april fools is a test and they will get added next major update. I’m singing the infantry is confirmed because they are saying it’s the next major step for war thunder and they wouldn’t step forward to step back. iykwim

With the fact enlisted exists I am confident it won’t stay.
