Which is even weird for a new player focus. If the goal is to interest new players, why not try and establish hype around the entire game so that these new additions can keep drawing new players for much longer. Sure focusing on top tier might bring more players faster, but it will also run out and when that happens force them to rethink the games appeal completely.

Not only that, but they need to revamp the entire TT as well.
With their current plans on adding Rank IX to the game soon, the grind is going to be horrendous. Going from Rank I to VII or VIII is already a pain, imagine what getting to Rank IX will feel like. Needing 5 Rank VIII vehicles in order to grind that - that means 5x 420K RP.
They need to start splitting the TT’s. Rank I to V and VI to X.
People don’t want to grind that much - hell, even Rank VIII is to much.
Adding infantry allows the addition of Scout vehicles which only carry .50’s or other machine guns. Resulting in focus of WWII, Korean War and Cold war to be neglected at all, since they can just add modern scout vehicles in a 6 TT line.

I doubt we are seeing a 6th TT line anytime soon though.
Ye they only cater to premium pepegas nowadays…
This, for example, is fun, trust:
Meanwhile you even have community managers gaslighting us that the game is fine while they themselves just hit this:
and still get mid stats. ( lets see a dev or community manager stock grind a top jet, I DARE them to do it)
nice flags lol, facts hurt huh

well the problem is that they wont rly be adding in ww2 infantry due to enlisted but they will start with korean war and upwards if im not mistaken
Completely agree, even then though the grind will still be long so an overall reduction in RP would do some good.
Yeah a 6th line would be great. Keep lines 1->5 as they are but line 6 as a misc line for stuff that doesn’t fit in the other lines.
Something else I wish they’d add is an RP bank for nations you have researched. Something like either you finish a whole TT or maybe 3 lines of it you can then put further RP into a bank specific to each nation since once you have nothing else to research it all goes to waste. Something like this:
Hell even having mod RP go into vehicle research once you spaded the vehicle or its a premium would go a long way.

Honestly I think the best would be simply having a lot more vehicles to research but with less individual cost. The grind could still take the exact same time, but reward the players more frequently with new vehicles and accelerate stock grinds with lower cost.
For example instead of 5 vehicles costing 400k RP each I would much rather see 20 vehicles for 100k RP. Total cost stays the same, but the player gets more value out of it. This also has the added effect of making it look like a longer way to top tier, even if it isn’t, so some players might be more interested in buying premium because of this.
Maybe even a coastal / bluewater type split for vehicle classes. So one has the classic light / medium / heavy tanks, non-radar gun SPAA and tank destroyers, while the other would have MBTs, radar SPAA / SAM and IFVs for example.
Personally I’m fine as long as it’s an easy to understand split that doesn’t harm anything. For example existing premium vehicle efficiency should be considered so that a premium doesn’t suddenly stop being able to research something it was initially bought for.
This could probably be expanded more. I feel like maybe there is now a chance to experiment with different vehicle types like dedicated scout vehicles with limited armament that can be introduced for infantry but maybe tested in other ways too.
That said a 6th line in general should only be a matter of time. Maybe more if Gaijin agree to make a collapsing premium section.

These would be amazing quality of life features that should’ve been here from the start. I hope they are implemented soon

This I agree with, a 6th line can have its uses if it is used for things other than a band-aid fix for sub-trees, as it doesn’t get rid of the problem, just delays it.
Stuff like spliting traked and wheeled lights or other vehicles that don’t fit in the already existing lines.
Getting either one of these would be such a major QOL addition, it 100% make the update a top 10.

I might be a bit too optimistic but I think the shift is slowly happening already. As you said in like 2-3 years Gaijin will have implemented the majority of the modern toys people are looking forward to.
Even though there haven’t been any major gamemode changes in the last decade, we have seen more and more temporary gamemode Events (gun only ARB, SEAD event). The upcoming aerialwarfare mode will likely include many of the things players have been asking for years. One can only hope but if this fails idk what will happen to the game…

We can only hope that’s the case. If it is then the next few years of the game could be really promising

Infantry mode is Gajin’s way to make more money. They’ll add premium Pay-to-Win weapons or units (for example, the VDV with RPO-A Shmel, which allows you to easily clear a building) along with premium vehicles like the BMPT or T-15. I don’t think Gajin will reduce grinding, because that’s where they make their money. Player irritation is Gajin’s way to make money (selling premium accounts, premium vehicles, or accelerating research).

if its anything like enlisted I highly doubt most premium squads will be pay to win, most premiums are showing off weird and wacky weapons, there are only a couple I can think of that I would say are pay to win
I’m still waiting for the Nakajima Ki-43-III Ko to finally arrive in Japan. This fighter (over 1,000 of this type were built) would be an excellent complement to the Ki-43-I and Ki-43-II, with a better engine, armor, and ground-attack capabilities. The Ki-43-III Ko, with Ro-3, Ro-3 Kai, and Ro-5 fragmentation missiles, along with Ro-7 AP missiles, would be very useful. However, for now, the Ki-43-III Ko is only available in China, although I haven’t been able to find evidence that China has acquired any Ki-43-III.

Please don’t tell me they have separate vehicles from the normal ones… At that point why not just add it to Enlisted when it doesn’t interact with rest of the game?

There aren’t even free mechanized units in Enlisted; they’re all premium. Enlisted is very pay-to-win and has terrible balance. (You Ho-I vs. Sherman and P-38).
