2023 is mostly about ground based FnF missiles arguably, i mean the event that followed it included the QN506
That’s true, I just thought it would be worth mentioning that the events can be for testing more than just one thing and that not everything that was tested has to make an appearance ingame later
(The QN506 has a lil quadcopter helipad btw, almost as if they wanted to add that drone too)
Well i don’t know if we would be needing decoupling would be interesting. But as you said we already have the controlling 2 units mechanic in game.

Finally one of my more knowledgeable feilds.
Would M2HB equipped vehicles become meta?
And would shotguns be any good?
Mate, this is a vehicular combat game with infantry shoehorned in for an event. Shotguns are gonna be pretty bad and even the smaller caliber MGs would be enough to deal with the meatbags.
You would probably be better off with multiple small caliber MGs instead of just one .50 cal

Dang just watched the trailer :D love it can’t wait!
.50 cal can deal with cover better though
And modern body armor can stop rifle caliber rounds no?
What cover?
The building walls and sandbags among other things
Black tip??? maybe not
The Mobile Infantry soldiers couldn’t really deal with the 7.62mms, so I don’t expect soldiers with much less armor and no face protection to be able to

Are we still talking about War Thunder?
I’m talking about the trailer, there were buildings and sandbags in it
IRL most buildings offer very little in the way of protection from .30 cal rounds
Well, did you play the Mobile Infantry event? If it’s anything like that there won’t be much in terms of buildings to take cover in or other stuff able to withstand even 7.62mm MGs
This also screams to me ENGINE update SOON!

What about all the wrecked/abandoned cars? Engine blocks can take most 7.62 iirc, but .50 cal AP can go through them
This isn’t Mobile Infantry btw, if u watched trailer you would have seen infantry clearing out rooms, and many buildings along the road in the first bit
You aren’t expecting Battlefield-like gameplay, are you?
Again, if it’s anything like Mobile Infantry then there won’t be much of that room clearing stuff because WT maps rarely have buildings with actual interiors.
To be completely honest, I don’t expect the infantry to work like it did back in the Mobile Infantry event anyways. Soldiers probably won’t be “vehicles”, but rather either AI targets or pseudo RTS units. With the Mobile Infantry event you at least had soldiers that could carry multiple heavy weapons while also being mobile and armored.
Also, we are yet to see if the ingame event will even be anywhere close to the trailer, considering that the event description is talking about WW1, while the trailer shows modern day vehicles and CoD-like gameplay
