I wouldn’t mind at all if War Thunder were ported over to Enlisted, as long as I could bring along my collected vehicles.
I really like the mechanics and feel of Enlisted it seems like it has a better engine that could enhance War Thunder, though it’s been quite a while since I last played Enlisted.
Running another Gaijin game alongside War Thunder?
I’d need a second job and a time machine just to make it work =)
If they do a crossover promotion the rewards will likely be reskinned WW2 planes. But I doubt they would do a crossover, as most people wouldn’t be able to play AoT to get the rewards in either game.
It’s a bit disheartening, isn’t it? Instead of bringing those improvements to VR, they’ve gone ahead and made an entirely separate game centered around WW1 vehicles as its standout feature.
Imagine if War Thunder went all out and became the ultimate warfare experience. Every era from 1914 to the present day could be covered, with infantry, tanks, planes, helicopters, artillery, logistics, boats, ships, submarines, and even carriers all seamlessly packed into one incredible game.
AoT isn’t centered around WW1, they don’t even advertise the WW1 vehicles included in it.
Excerpt from AoTs description: “Aces of Thunder features a set of the most legendary WW2 aircraft available to hop in and fly right upon purchase.” … "Fly 20+ carefully recreated iconic aircraft of World War II, such as the American P-51 Mustang and P-63 Kingcobra, the German Bf 109 and Fw 190, the Soviet Il-2 and Yak-9T, the British Spitfire and the Japanese A6M3 Zero.
All key theaters of war
Aces of Thunder battles will see you traveling across the world and getting a better idea of where the fate of war was decided. Visit 15 beautiful maps representing three key theaters of World War II: Western, Eastern and Pacific Fronts."
At the very least, having WW1-Now would be it hard to top.
Plus, I’d have more BRs I’d enjoy with WW1 and Interwar tanks.
This event, despite its issues, has been the most fun I’ve had in WT for months.
WW1 is one of the main selling points of AoT its even in the trailer
wouldn’t suprise me if that would be the primary answer why war thunder players don’t play enlisted, starting all over is just to much not to mention enlisted has the same problems warthunder has long grind and pay to win “add ons”
Neither the website for AoT, nor the Steam page list WW1 stuff as a selling point though. The focus will be on WW2 and WW1 is more of a bonus as it stands right now.
Don’t get me wrong, im going to download it and give it a go, but i would like to see if they can bring the improvements made in this game over to war thunder from a VR point of view.
I’d prefer sticking to one game, rather than having to spend money again on the same vehicle that i have in WT just to get a better VR experience.
Well, Aces of Thunder is a VR game, WT is a game with VR. Of course AoT will have the better VR experience and Gaijin likely won’t port many of the VR features over.
I hope we get this too. If not maybe a re-run of the event for Remembrance Day with a few more rewards like the aircraft and some of the tanks they have missed.
Mate, I know about the trailer, they still don’t list WW1 in the game descriptions or the main selling points.
Smin has literally been saying that WW1 is a key feature of Aces of Thunder and it’s why we can’t keep the fighters from this event.
In ~6 months when this game fails, they will be rushing to add WWI planes to War Thunder. It will be the funniest thing in the world
The announcement Smin linked talks about WW1 being featured in addition to WW2. As far as Gaijins own advertisement for the game goes, WW2 will be the main focus and WW1 will be a secondary thing.
He never said that. He only ever said that AoT will feature WW1 aircraft and that the current April Fools event lets us obtain 7 WW1 vehicles, the Fokker and the SPAD being unobtainable without a specific reason being mentioned.
You’re spot on VR is definitely still a niche market, and that’s exactly why they should consider reinventing these aspects into War Thunder.
By pulling assets from Enlisted and Aces of Thunder, they could breathe new life into the game and take things to the next level with a more cutting-edge War Thunder 2.0. It feels like the perfect opportunity to really push boundaries, don’t you think?
Enlisted typically sees around 5,000 players online at any given time, while the newly announced Aces of Thunder, being VR-exclusive, will likely attract a similar number.
Compare that to War Thunder’s impressive 120,000 concurrent players it’s clear where the larger audience is.
From a business perspective, it would be a smart move to focus their efforts on War Thunder, as it’s one of their top revenue generators. And just to clarify, this isn’t about bias for the game (even though it’s fantastic), but purely about making sound business decisions.
It simply adds up.
Would rather have korea as a small unique tree than having all of their actually unique vehicles omitted just so they can come to Japan as a sub with as much copy paste as possible.
I’m hopeful for the game, but I know the player count after a few months will drop to the point where Gaijin starts questioning if they should keep it going or not.
I hope the game does well but I also think that stuff like WW1 aircraft shouldn’t be limited to sell a product which main selling point should be the fact that it’s a proper VR experience.
They won’t be rushing to add WW1 to WT. The money lies in modern era stuff, followed by Cold war era stuff and WW2 era stuff. The majority of WT players don’t care about WW1 and from what I’ve heard while playing the event, people are not enjoying the performance of WW1 vehicles at all.
