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.
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
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.
Not to be that guy, but 4.9k players 24-hour peak on Steam isn’t bad at all for the kind of game that Enlisted is.
It’s also a much higher peak than what player counts Star Conflict, Crossout and CRSED are getting on average.
Gaijin testing AI infantry in this event definitely is not an indicator of them trying to merge the two games. Integrating AI infantry is nothing like integrating player controlled infantry.
