The other thing I would add is…if War thunder is to expand and not die, where would they expand into??? If they can extend the game life by adding to every nation Infantry from WW1 to Modern day would they NOT do this??? Think of all the Awesome small arms that could be added…just this adds a CRAZY amount of content to the game! Yes I know they have Enlisted…how many people play that vs this.
Remind me what nation deploys ponies that shoot rockets and gatling cannons from wing mounts on their back IRL??? One is a realistic game add one is clearly NOT and you know…if you are gonna reply at least be good faith!
I think I’ve used it in a context that is valid…you keep making very CRAZY comparison and being disingenuous to the back and forth we have been having. I changed it to good faith though because it seems less snarky to me.
I can already see the posts a year from now from WT Infantry mains, complaining that a ‘Vark just torched their entire spawn with Napalm for half the matches duration.
Running a Javelin Hell Divers two style would be SICK with a squad reload! Carl Gustave with Hell Divers two game play in War Thunder…Honestly WHO would not like this…LAME people that’s who!
I don’t know. Depends on the maps and kit they get access to. Games like BF demonstrate infantry still has a place when 3rd person AFV / CAS is about.
Infantry is always going to be absolute hell to deal with in urban / CQB maps for tankers.
Also depends how they handle infantry damage models. Are we gonna be telling grunts to hold this DM53 and hear over coms “You’ve got a hole in your left thigh!”, or are they going to get domed by singular MG rounds as you’d expect.
I think they did the damage model of infantry pretty well during the mobile infantry event a couple years ago.
from what little I can remember from what little I played, you would take a single round to the arm or leg and be considered “ded”
