And yet such a description also matches War Thunder in it’s current state, despite it having a rating of Pegi 12. You can do just that in some of the single player missions, or any time you fight an open topped vehicle, and it’s been that way for years, arguably since the game launched, and indisputably after Gaijin released the two ‘campaign’ DLCs.
Especially after the most recent event, where you can gun down realistic looking humans with tanks, evidence suggests that either Gaijin doesn’t care about their PEGI 12 rating or PEGI needs violence to go beyond ragdolling/unconsciousness to reach “…a stage that looks the same as would be expected in real life.”, the latter of which I am honestly leaning towards.
Yes. Would greatly expand the amount of vehicles and nations that can be added, as well as expanding War Thunder’s audience. Should be it’s own separate mode from what we currently know as ground, but so long as it doesn’t replace Ground battles, I’d love to see infantry added.
i would love it mostly because i wanna use naplam it would also be cool to finally get to use weapons with their real names and accurate looks/behaviors
I voted no. Not for any deep reasonings, I just know that it would be just another mode that I would play for maybe 1 game and get super bored of, only to never play it again.
I’d rather play games like Battlefield (whenever they finally release the new one) or HLL than whatever mess of a gamemode WT Infantry would be.
I dont think turning war thunder into a palyable FPS at this time is worth it. The game is suppose to be about vehicle combat and intergrated infantry combat into it just sounds like a recipe for disaster. I could definetly see large parts of War Thunder C&Ped over to its own dedicated game though. Imagine battlefield but with war thunder level vehicle combat.
What I can see coming to War Thunder is AI infantry in ARB/ASB and maybe also GRB/GSB (although I fear it just becoming a MOBA)
So ok for the US to get 5 top tier aircraft in a span of 4 updates while nations like Britain, Germany and Italy get told “you don’t need another you just got one” but it’s ok for US players to demand anything because the fear of European based countries get’s a good fighter for once
This whole thread of benefits and disadvantages of infantry is just going in circles, again and again.
pros: untapped FPS market, amazon style all stop shop for combat (infantry, ground, naval), locking player base into a walled Gaijin garden, running out of content (debatable)
cons: complexity of implementation, tankies crying , age restriction complexities.
On the whole from a corporate point of view it makes sense, esp with Enlisted providing tons of market research beforehand. Lets just get a confirmation from devs if this is serious or not, not debate each minute point over and over again.
“untapped FPS market”
You mean the oversaturated FPS market we currently have ?
The “untapped FPS market” that can litteraly push your game in obscurity if you mess up your launch window and end up too close to the next Battelfield/Call of Duty ?
As we all know gaijin won’t add all of them, they said this loud and clear because the dev have small screens there for only have 5 line max and that will be the reason why you won’t see your 15x F-15 day dream.
Folders yes but as we seen with the 24 road map they were trying to cut down on research I mean ask yourself this, why haven’t we seen a folder style like the Italian bombers in german since then ?
Are you arguing that the US needs more than 4 top tier aircraft because they built a lot IRL and therefore multiple other nations shouldnt get any because they didnt build many?
(For the record, im more than happy with the Typhoon FGR4, though still waiting for it to actually be added)
