Gaijin needs to change the hit boxes for AI infantry. APHE rounds from WW1 tanks does nothing to them.
Having thought about this for a bit, I will admit that it is unusual for the reward vehicles to be placed in the tech trees, rather than in the premium/event/squadron column.
However, this leads me to believe that there may either be recurring WWI events or a special WWI mode in the future.
The reason why the tanks and the H.P.12 are being given out as vehicles useable in other modes very likely is that, as many of us have mentioned before, the fighter planes (and the zeppelin…) really are that much worse than almost all 1.0 planes, to the point that Gaijin figures that these planes only make sense in a purely WWI limited environment.
That wouldn’t mean that these planes would remain unplayable, just that they would only be playable in an environment where they actually make sense. This would also explain why the zeppelin, while feeling very half-baked, has a bouyancy mechanic tied to it.
So, I suppose I gotta admit that I may have been wrong about how viable and likely WWI content would be in WT. I will maintain however that the zeppelin and the WWI fighter aircraft do not have a place in WT outside of an environment that is restricted to WWI only.

Oh, APHE does knock infantry out, it’s just hard to hit them and you don’t get any feedback for knocking the troopers out, only for knocking the gunners out.
still waiting for my flying ponys with laser guns, modern day nuclear submarines and 2077 tanks if that was the case.

There’s a player that’s actually been able to keep the SPAD from the event and take it out into battles.
Here’s the server replay for it
https://warthunder.com/en/tournament/replay/324825357237547819
I still don’t know if that’s supposed to be a joke or if gaijin really plans to Merge enlisted and warthunder
And tech trees will be fun best case scenario I am fighting t90m and 2s38 with k98k and magnetic Mines
And worst case scenario I am stuck with pistols for the first 50 matches
we should be allowed to keep all the aircraft. They will not be meta at all but if we have to endure the garford we should get reparations in the SPAD, fokker, HP and Zeppelin

They don’t. Enlisted is rated 18+ and War Thunder is rated 12+
12+ is already a stretch with gamling and other stuff in it
So maybe gaijin wants to ditch that
They definitely wouldn’t want to ditch that.
Seeing as WT has a lot of gambling and basically its own captive crypto market it should be an 18+ game.
I do also think merging the two games together will help the staleness of WT while getting Enlisted off of the borderline of being a dying game

That 's related to submarines imo. The control scheme is similar to the one used in Battle of the Atlantic.

That’s a content creator, Walv!s (ingame name Walv1s, you can find them through the squadron search).
Content creators can request test drives for vehicles.

Ok, suppose the age ratings thing was out of the question, how the heck would they merge WT and Enlisted and what about the April Fools event makes you think that they would attempt to merge the two games?
Yea that’s my take also
Enlisted is on life support and merging the two games would be the best Outcome for enlisted instead of just Being thrown in the trash including all development time and players invested time and money
What it means for warthunder is everyones guess
But probably we will get another helicopter/plane/cas situation
same engine, same assets and core structure. Enlisteds soldier combat is a very solid base and infantry can deal with tanks quite well.
enlisted is not really doing too good after the disastrous steam launch, yes most of the playerbase uses the client but its still bleak sign so have an all time peak being just over a tenth of the average WT online numbers.
Theres a lot of good stuff in Enlisted which could be wasted without a merge. a merge would also bring a lot of WT players into playing infantry while bringing in a lot more players overall. have separate gamemodes but a combined mode of tankers pilots and soldiers would be able to take on battlefield and probably beat it out nowadays

Enlisted has already adopted a lot of WT standards after 2.0
there a BR system and everything now, it would be a lot of work for balancing but is a possibility that a lot of people did give a very positive reaction to for a potential future
Nothing is going to be wasted. WT is better without FPS infantry. The trailer was strictly for April fools we can forget about FPS infantry in WT and move on to speculation about the next major update which is the topic we are discussing in.
the possibility of infantry being here one day is a speculation.
seeing WT evolve into a battlefield with realistic feeling vehicles is something id love to see too.
