Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

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

Depends on the ammo they give them.

Depends how realistic they make shotguns.

You know I was think more about this. I wonder if they going to test new destruction physics for the game.

True, they were trying map destruction very early on, but kept it out due to performance stuff. Maybe they are gonna try to see if the engine and servers could handle that now.

“Minor update” lol

Well yeah, they gotta patch the April Fools mode in somehow

Yeah.

There actually have been “minor updates” in the past, and it’s a pretty appropriate title considering the amount of content that comes to the game as part of the April Fools events.

I’ll update my Current Rumors post when we have an idea about what the event could be testing.

Still sad @KhorneFlakez1337 was right and it wasn’t the Strategic Bombing mode, I wonder on what occasion will this be released?

What if we get to carpet napalm infantry?

Wouldn’t be shocked with the vietnam era B-52D that was just passed to the devs lol

That Strategic Bombing mode they apparently are working on probably is gonna arrive as a non-April Fools mode temporarily and maybe get added permanently afterwards.
Gotta keep in mind that the April Fools event isn’t the only one that can introduce temporary game modes and that Gaijin does occasionally test new content in special modes either on the main client or on the dev server.

I mean they don’t even need strategic bombers for that. f-4, F-111, and F-105 carry plenty lol
