Yeah, sadly you are right about that
Knowing that a huge part of the playerbase only cares about top tier Gaijin was bound to run out of vehicles and instead of focussing on the stuff thats still missing they would rather just add an entirely new branch
I just don’t get why it’s infantry. They advertise WT as vehicular combat game, infantry has never been mentioned until the april fools post
i doubt gaijin has what it takes to prosper in the very competitive industry of modern FPS games
This does not make sense. Even BVVD stated there are still plenty of gaps to fill. Reaching the modern day will not result in some giant brick wall of no more possible content.
Isn’t the Kfir C.10 just the new designation for the Kfir 2000?
Infantry looks like a money pit, and it looks like they are going to port a lot from Active matter or Enlisted.
Enlisted is recoverable from my perspective.
And being a money pit means there will be more anime copy pastes, low tier unauthentic packs, WTD61s, store vehicles replaced in every 4 months and out of nowhere sub trees.
Plus a lot of squadron vehicles. 6.6K research per day is a scam
They do not. That is a simple fact.
CoD can fuck-up time and time again, it is still a leviathan of FPS shooters. It’s brand alone will attract millions.
Gaijin simply does not have the name recognition to take on that and similar juggernaughts.
Aircraft, tanks and ships are not going anywhere. This is a seperate mode.
Is this a permanent mode?
Will we be able to use top tier tanks in infranty mode or just the ones in the trailer?
Older stuff apparently doesn’t make enough money, so they neglected that stuff
Rather than giving older stuff some more attention they’d rather add infantry to a game that people play for the vehicles
Hope it receives the same attention other gamemodes receive then, specifically WWM and Air RB EC.
I know, and I guess I didn’t explain what I meant with “Becoming less competitive”
By adding infantry Gaijin is splitting its resources into a new gamemode that, in all frankness, is highly likely going to be unable to compete with established FPS brands for player attraction and retention.
That is resources not spent on the parts of War Thunder that make it succesful, and hence it slows down the growth of that success, making the game less competitive because it is no longer investing as many resources on what makes it great and what is attracting the most new players.
Will it have one realism variant or arcade and realistic (or even sim) like the other major game modes?
mig25 I guess may hav e flight performance kinda like tornado?
Gaijin worked themselves into a corner with their current monetization policy.
They made top tier their cash-cow, and although I have of course zero knowledge about the financial state of the Snail, I doubt they would be able to stay afloat without that top tier income, or at the very least take a really big hit to profit.
As long as this stays this way and Gaijin does not reform its monetization policy, decisions like adding infantry will be logical from the perspective of the company, because they need to keep top tier monetization firing on all cylinders, at all times.
I’m not surprised at all that this new infantry mode is starting in the modern day. Not at all.
The Tornado is more maneuverable and has way better low altitude performance
This doesn’t have any impact on ground / naval / air development.
The same thing was / is said about naval. But they have different teams to planes for example.
More like late F-104 probably.
is it near the f104 prenerf?
F-104 post nerf and still way slower than most supersonic planes at low altitudes
