“Please be aware that the SPAD S.XIII (France) cannot be obtained as an event reward. You’ll be able to fly this fighter in Aces of Thunder soon™!”
That’s called blocking my dude to sell another product

Players being unable to engage in human to human gunfights will probably satisfy the ESRB and other such agencies enough
There were at least like 4 scenes in the trailer of shooting at ppl through a rifle scope
Mate, they aren’t adding Battlefield-like gameplay. They are adding AI soldiers as targets. AI soldiers that just get knocked out when hit by 155mm HE
These age rating agencies have some weird rules and standards and factors like the game being third person, there being no blood and/or gore, players not controlling individual characters, etc all seem to be things that help achieving a lower age rating

@joshje100 This what annoys me more
Both at the same BR’s and both can easily find a slot within the tech tree.
So it’s not a matter of if anymore

It was literally in the first announcement
Very soon, a large-scale closed beta test of infantry will begin.

You mean the announcement from yesterday, that had a date stamp of April 1st despite being posted on the 31st of March?

That 's an April Fools joke, like the cinematic it 's attached to.

@Smin1080p_WT So there were no Italian vehicle rewards in this event? For example, fiat-2000, ca.3, or something else
Wow someones touchy
There are no playable Italian vehicles in the event
That was just an april fools joke.
The game has not yet even been released yet. Lets please stay on topic here.
The event is up and running right now with 7 vehicles for you to obtain currently.
I mean, the event is pretty short this year, so there is a chance of another one. But the FPV drones 100% were a prank. Ain’t no way they could bring in something like that without getting an 18+ rating.
It was an april fools joke.
As we have already mentioned in the article and the very post you quoted, WW1 aviation will be a key part of Aces of Thunder currently. Beyond that, we have 7 vehicles currently obtainable in the ongoing event in War Thunder currently.
The event is focused on the German Empire and Triple Entente (Great Britain, France, and Russia).

I’m highly doubtful without anything for it comings from the datamine.
Really more than anything this event has shown great war era does not fit in the game.
Every reserve biplane would dominate them so they need their own separate pool to play in, even on the weekend you’ll sometimes get minutes long queues for low tier air and I see little chance that’d stay populated more than a week after the initial interest wears off and people move on
Those planes cost just as much to model as any other one for something any rank I premium could grind every single one out in an hour and then move on, I find it unlikely even adding a single one to the tech tree would ever break even to say nothing of entire trees of them.
And as much as I don’t care for how grindy and monetized this game is I don’t fault them for continuing to invest in other revenue streams rather then putting all their eggs in a 12-13 year old basket.
Potentially cannibalizing sales of a new paid title they are spinning up for the sake of adding content to a F2P title does not make sense from a business perspective
So I’m content with the 7 free vehicles this event will give me.
