It was literally in the first announcement
Very soon, a large-scale closed beta test of infantry will begin.

You mean the announcement from yesterday, that had a date stamp of April 1st despite being posted on the 31st of March?

That 's an April Fools joke, like the cinematic it 's attached to.

@Smin1080p_WT So there were no Italian vehicle rewards in this event? For example, fiat-2000, ca.3, or something else
Wow someones touchy
There are no playable Italian vehicles in the event
That was just an april fools joke.
The game has not yet even been released yet. Lets please stay on topic here.
The event is up and running right now with 7 vehicles for you to obtain currently.
I mean, the event is pretty short this year, so there is a chance of another one. But the FPV drones 100% were a prank. Ain’t no way they could bring in something like that without getting an 18+ rating.
It was an april fools joke.
As we have already mentioned in the article and the very post you quoted, WW1 aviation will be a key part of Aces of Thunder currently. Beyond that, we have 7 vehicles currently obtainable in the ongoing event in War Thunder currently.
The event is focused on the German Empire and Triple Entente (Great Britain, France, and Russia).

I’m highly doubtful without anything for it comings from the datamine.
Really more than anything this event has shown great war era does not fit in the game.
Every reserve biplane would dominate them so they need their own separate pool to play in, even on the weekend you’ll sometimes get minutes long queues for low tier air and I see little chance that’d stay populated more than a week after the initial interest wears off and people move on
Those planes cost just as much to model as any other one for something any rank I premium could grind every single one out in an hour and then move on, I find it unlikely even adding a single one to the tech tree would ever break even to say nothing of entire trees of them.
And as much as I don’t care for how grindy and monetized this game is I don’t fault them for continuing to invest in other revenue streams rather then putting all their eggs in a 12-13 year old basket.
Potentially cannibalizing sales of a new paid title they are spinning up for the sake of adding content to a F2P title does not make sense from a business perspective
So I’m content with the 7 free vehicles this event will give me.

But that just it, imagine if these were modern tanks during the rank IX event, then you have to play a sim only game separate from war thunder just think of the reaction. Why should WW1 be treated differently ?

WW1 doesn’t really have a place in War Thunder unless a major overhaul of the BR system takes place. It is what it is.
The event is nice, but only because you don’t have BT-5s and Pz.IIIs shredding you.

But WW1 is already here tho that the thing, why stop with one aircraft when others are already modeled and can be built around them.

Couple of things here:
-
Events are not a guarantee that something being tested will 100% come to the game. Because modern vehicles did, does not mean everything will.
-
For many years even before that event, there was a clear drive and demand in the community for the game to evolve upwards into the modern era as a natural progression of the games timeline. You could not actually obtain any vehicles during that actual event to use in the game. Here you can.
