Next Major Update - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion

Oh damn, I must have missed that frame
There was no blood or blood-like substance to be seen in the other gunfights

Or test ground forces & infantry mode for war thunder in the future ?

Nah tbf its probably only US vs Russia

Well, historically, these have been used as testbeds for new mechanics, features, and even game modes;

2016: Naval was added 3 months after this Navy-themed event.
2017: New Era was added 6 months after this New Era-themed event, and helicopters a bit later too.
2019: VTOL was added 8 months after the UFO-themed April Fools.
2022: FnFs were implemented 9 months after this event featuring them for the first time.
2024: Extraction zones, later implemented in Arcade GB.

Etc.

I choose not to believe that

2018 (Silent Thunder) tested player launched/deployed nukes
2021 (Warfare 2077) tested the first (and current) Scout Drone UAVs
2022 (Worm Thunder) tested some new damage mechanics if I remember correctly
2023 (Mobile Infantry) also tested the alternate Scout Drone (quadcopter), but the results could have been dissatisfactory
2024 (Mad Thunder) also tested and introduced more advanced wheel damage models

2020 (Space Thunder) probably tested stuff too, but as with the quadcopter drone, the results may have been dissatisfactory. Perhaps they tested some physics, graphics and sound stuff in that event.

True!

2023 is mostly about ground based FnF missiles arguably, i mean the event that followed it included the QN506

That’s true, I just thought it would be worth mentioning that the events can be for testing more than just one thing and that not everything that was tested has to make an appearance ingame later

(The QN506 has a lil quadcopter helipad btw, almost as if they wanted to add that drone too)

Well i don’t know if we would be needing decoupling would be interesting. But as you said we already have the controlling 2 units mechanic in game.

Finally one of my more knowledgeable feilds.

Would M2HB equipped vehicles become meta?

And would shotguns be any good?

Mate, this is a vehicular combat game with infantry shoehorned in for an event. Shotguns are gonna be pretty bad and even the smaller caliber MGs would be enough to deal with the meatbags.
You would probably be better off with multiple small caliber MGs instead of just one .50 cal

Dang just watched the trailer :D love it can’t wait!

.50 cal can deal with cover better though

And modern body armor can stop rifle caliber rounds no?

What cover?

The building walls and sandbags among other things
