Still find it odd given we have WW1 ships so why not WW1 aircraft ?,
Why do I have to wait for a new game that I’ll never play to gain access to WW1 aircraft.

We literally have the H.P.12, what was wrong with the fighters? Zeppelin I could understand (still hope it arrives) but the fighters didn’t look problematic whatsoever.

“You can play the Fokker D.VIII in the upcoming Aces of Thunder soon.” Meanwhile it’s been delayed for a year and radio silence since August.
It’s genuinely a shame we couldn’t keep the fighters, would be awful to play currently but like the tanks would just be more of a collectors thing. Or even have the other fighters they’ve modelled for Aces of Thunder, the Sopwith Camel and Fokker Dr.1.
I have got suggestions up though for WW1 air in general so hopefully they’ll be approved. (At some point).

aces of thunder exclusive
The most quite moment on the M25 at anytime

People say these are boring but often these are coming from players who only play top tier and 9 times out of 10 complain about C&P. At least for the majors WW1 would totally bring a new way of fighting.

Every time I used the petard I got maps like Flanders and Sinai.
(At least it was still a funny tank)

Yep, I think with all the changes they kinda lost what the game meant so they’ve props gone back to the drawing board for it to not be similar to war thunder just with a different menu.

The fighters ended up being exclusive to the illusive Aces of Thunder which we still don’t even have a release window for. And seeing as the majority of players likely won’t have VR or HOTAS controls they would never actually get to play them.

I mean, for a while this thread did seem entirely taken over by people discussing modern day jets. Which aren’t my cuppa, but trying to start an argument about what WW2 machines I want inbetween their chatter proved to be futile.

It was looking promising when they said WW1 would be a main feature but then it turned out to be 4 planes. Also the whole “paid game but once we add stuff you get it for free” and then it turned out the F4U was locked behind a paywall.
At this point they should just merge Aces of Thunder with War Thunder.

Please not. I’ve been against the adding of infantry from day one because Enlisted exists. We don’t also need VR integration.
Large live-server games tend to die when they try to cram too many different games into one package, overwhelming the average player.

We already have VR in War Thunder? Aces of Thunder is just adding proper hand controls and interactive cockpits. (Also some PvE missions that actually work and 4 WW1 planes.)

Didn’t know that, so that makes it more fair, yeah.
Infantry is still a big no-no for me

I think playable infantry shouldn’t be added. It’s just another attention sink for the devs. But AI infantry like what we had in the WW1 event or infantry that’s deployable from helicopters or IFV’s could work.

Not even that, these fighters just are so weak that they wouldn’t even be able to compete with reserve planes
Then Gaijin could add post 1918 and earlier interwar planes as a buffer against the current reserves. Against each other WW1 planes would work well and with a sufficient enough buffer could fit in nicely to the game.

AI infantry past a point sounds cool but also like… I would rather not turn every urban map which are already awful into grozny thanks.
Playable infantry if thats what they are going for can and should be its own mode and not part of the normal GRB mode.
