Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Yeah Flying circus has over 15 fully modeled WW1 aircraft over 4 modules, where war thunder will have one odd ball of a bomber just doesn’t make sense.

Not only that but you also splitting the player base even more over three games now.
As I say I don’t want to move games to play WW1 when WW1 is now here

Well, you may think that the vehicles being as slow as they were back then would be an issue, but most people I know in WT evade low tier gameplay exactly for that reason. They don’t like the slow movement.

The A7V had a top speed of 15 km/h on roads and almost 7 km/h on dirt, for the Mark V I cannot even find a road specific top speed, only a general top speed of 7 km/h.

For reference, the Churchill 1 has a top speed of 21 to 28 km/h and that already is way too slow for most people. The Maus has a miserable top speed of 18 to 20 km/h, but people put up with that because the Maus is the Maus. The TOG II has the lowest top speed in WT afaik, at 14 km/h, but that still is faster than the WWI tanks on dirt.

Worse than a T95 lol

I don’t think Aces of Thunder blocks War Thunder from getting WWI content.
Gaijin and majority of WTs playerbase blocks WT from getting WWI content.

Similarly Enlisted doesn’t block WT from getting infantry, other factors (such as age restrictions and gameplay concerns) do.

This begs the question, if they are really adding infantry, could it be possible that the gamemode somehow has a different age rating? Is it even possible to do that?

“Please be aware that the SPAD S.XIII (France) cannot be obtained as an event reward. You’ll be able to fly this fighter in Aces of Thunder soon™!”

That’s called blocking my dude to sell another product

Players being unable to engage in human to human gunfights will probably satisfy the ESRB and other such agencies enough

There were at least like 4 scenes in the trailer of shooting at ppl through a rifle scope

Mate, they aren’t adding Battlefield-like gameplay. They are adding AI soldiers as targets. AI soldiers that just get knocked out when hit by 155mm HE

These age rating agencies have some weird rules and standards and factors like the game being third person, there being no blood and/or gore, players not controlling individual characters, etc all seem to be things that help achieving a lower age rating

Both at the same BR’s and both can easily find a slot within the tech tree.


So it’s not a matter of if anymore

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.
