The playable part of the map isn’t huge, but there are more objectives and spawn zones than normal.
Something to note abt April Fools maps is that some of them have become playable later on, like Middle East and Spaceport. The same thing might happen to this one.
I might be reaching to far w/ this, but the text on the ruined billboards reminded me abt one of the unused maps that appeared in the files in June 2021 's update 2.7.0.55, before being removed in 2.7.0.56.
Some parts of this desert area shown in the later part of the trailer seem to have a lot in common w/ the Tunisia map in Enlisted, but there also parts that are obviously different such as this
Speaking of Enlisted, they’ve already had this event:
I wonder if we’ll get the functional commander 's hatches on modern tanks here in WT, the same way they were available on the M1A1 and T-80U in Enlisted 's event four years ago.
It 's hard to show in picture form, but the sequence w/ the MANPAD operator between 0:57 and 1:00 has them turning around kind of " stuttery ", which is also how I remember the Mobile Infantry exosuits behaving a few years ago.
They might run both simultaneously, like how Sky Pirates and Warfare 2077 did.
Honestly yeah I need to not get my hopes up, but in the past they’ve made it significantly more clear when things were just one off event announcements, so I have mixed feelings right now.
However, even if the game mode will actually be Battlefield-like, I have huge doubts about that kind of infantry gameplay ever being added to the actual game. Adding vehicles to a first/third person shooter à la CoD is one thing, but adding infantry to a game that is completely focussed on vehicle to vehicle combat is a much more complicated process that might require the entire game to be re-imagined.
Well considering the title of the Announcement was Infantry and Expanding War Thunder (or something like that) i’m going to assume it would come as part of the “Expansion” bit of that, likely a different game mode
If we get to control individual soldiers, this is the most likely way we get to control them. Just like in Mobile Infantry the soldiers would be treated as vehicles and somewhat conform to the usual WT control methods.
