I’m too lazy to pay for, and download, and optimize for ARMA Reforger or anything else. If we got Infantry modes in War Thunder, or an Enlisted 2.0, I’d play it in a heartbeat. I don’t mind grinding through a tree, but I’m not playing infantry combat for WW2, I’m playing it to get to the late-cold war and modern era.
Would be a good idea to merge I feel like.

enlisted 2.0 is far better than hopw the game was three years ago as they have made the game be a lot more war thunder flavoured (BR system, tech trees and so on)
Id like to see all of that come to WT. especially if it meant enlisted kept its ww2 only charm. Contain modern stuff to WT for everyone else’s sake
Has anybody unlocked the A7V, already?
I swear we live in a simulation sometimes.
Just the other day I was remembering playing some old biplane game way back on the original Xbox, with vivid memories of flying into these floating crystal things for boosters. Couldn’t for the life of me remember its name. Was bugging me for hours until work made me forgot about it. What are the odds you’d post it like two days later.
Thank you!! lol. Man I loved that game!

Yeah got an ace game with it earlier
A7V vs FCM is truly a battle of the century lmao
I played a more arcade style one on the PlayStation 2 like 18 years ago called “red baron” It was developed by davilex who made the brilliant “london racer” games back in the day
looking back man it was primative but it was the first flight game I played
the second one was also a ww1 game oddly enough. Wings of honor battles of the red baron. was a pretty good flight game for 2006

For those curious, this is a game limitation. In order to use vehicles together, they have to be of the same nation, hence why the event versions of the Triple Entente vehicles are all under Britain internally, with the statcard flags switched out.
Spoiler
This is why they had British crew voices in the event, which will be fixed with in 2.45.1.33.
This is also why there is an American Super Mystère B2 and AMX 13 in the files, as when the first WWM involving Israel happened, it wasn’t yet part of the game, so the USA served as a stand-in with changed statcard flags.

We got our infantry with the event. Now will AI infantry come to regular gameplay? Maybe. Probably depends on the results of the AF event.
But if you are expecting an FPS gameplay I am sorry to disappoint you but it isn’t coming.

Yes.
I got A7V and St Chamond 😇
That trailer and the announcement was posted on the 31st of March, but they put April 1st as the date on the announcement.
I am fairly certain that this was done intentionally and that the trailer was a prank. However the trailer could also be for a second April Fools event component, as the WWI event is significantly shorter than the previous years’ April Fools events.
My thoughts (warning: many words)
That secondary event won’t be a test for player controlled infantry either, just for more AI infantry. Likely the infantry in that event will actually be a threat to tanks instead of just being decorations at best.
The infantry in the WWI event probably is a test to see if the servers and the player clients could handle large amounts of AI running around and doing stuff at all and since that seems to work just fine after some initial hiccups, a second event could happen as a proper stress test with more involved AI infantry.
If Gaijin really had plans of introducing player controlled infantry, the Mobile Infantry event likely was a test for that already. As you might guess, if sci-fi soldiers can’t really deal with tanks, regular soldiers wouldn’t even be remotely viable for the game.
You’ve got to keep in mind that Enlisted, Battlefield, Battlebit and whatever other Battlefield-like shooters are out there are made specifically with infantry in mind and the vehicles get a secondary role. War Thunder is the opposite of that, the gameplay is entirely focussed on vehicular combat, every aspect of WT revolves around vehicles and their interactions with other vehicles. Physics, game mechanics, game modes, maps, damage models, etc all are designed around vehicles.
Adding vehicles to a previously infantry-only game is, relatively speaking, a rather simple task, but shoe-horning FPS/TPS infantry into a game that was designed as a vehicular combat “simulator” would be a herculean task.
You need an isolated game mode that severely limits the main component of the game (the vehicles), you need special, entirely new maps with vastly more complex geometry (buildings with actual interiors), new control schemes, physics and game mechanics, a different matchmaker, hundreds, maybe thousands, of new models (soldiers, weapons, doodads, etc, even if everything from Enlisted was ported over), new sounds and hearing mechanics, new customization methods, etc, etc… All of that to create a wannabe Battlefield game within a game that people play for the vehicles.
I couldn’t wager how many paying players they would need to get into WT to break even with the investment, but I don’t think the entire Enlisted community and then some would be enough… And as I’ve said before, if other factors don’t bump WTs age rating up, playable infantry definitely will, meaning Gaijin would be have a much harder time marketing the game and (if that isn’t already the case) content creators would get hit with age restrictions as well.
Enlisted isn’t at risk of getting shut down at all, Gaijin keeps way less profitable games running and other game companies do the same. So far the only free to play games I’ve seen being shut down were either EA (greed incarnate) games (Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield Play4Free, Need for Speed World, Warhammer Age of Reckoning), games that were run/developed by companies that went bankrupt, defunct or dissolved or browser based games.
Most companies (especially ones that focus on the games-as-a-service principle) are willing to keep their less popular games running for a very long time. They just slow down active development up to the point where they only do the bare minimum to keep the game playable at minimum cost.

Dude that’s so awesome. I’m glad I helped you! I think I have a spare disc laying around if your pc has a disc drive I can surely send it your way!
