It has a really nice MP skin too
After we get WW1 infantry and planes so we can re-live this masterpiece of a game.
Gaijin give me the Bristol F.2B so I can swap to the gunner and disintegrate the enemy fighter who can’t pilot snipe me in time or the Ilya Muromets so I can just be pure cancer with the anti-personnel bombs. Or give me the Fokker Dr.1 so I can just run the lobby with the trench fighter kit and rack up over 100 kills in the round of breakthrough and my team still won’t push. (I was a literal demon with the fighters got like 500 hours in them I loved the planes.)

Nah at this point just give me clone batches, SONTAR-HA !
Well you can forget about reliving that one in WT…
Mostly cuz war thunder is on going towards the opposite end of the fun curve, slowly but surely lol ( actually good idea to reinstall bf1 ngl, thx for reminding)

Sadly that’s true, most of the dev’s seems to be more focusing on higher end stuff the most. Gaijin’s simple excuse for not adding WW1 was due to speed differences between them and interwar vehicles but yet still comfortable to add the Mig-25 and 104’s both aircraft far exceeds what most planes do at there ranks, same with the 106 now remembering it. But now we have got a WW1 bomber in game and clearly have WW1 models in production for their new game, it doesn’t make sense to not add them now especially with infantry coming onto the scene pretty soon.

I doubt WT infantry will reach that level of greatness, hell I doubt it will be even close.

It’s just a desperate measure of an addition, mostly 'cause one of their other projects cannot compete lol.
Gotta salvage as much as possible ( my theory just got confirmed after one of the datamined banners got found)

I still play it from time to time. Just a fantastic game that holds up so well to this day.

I’d like to see the S-70 Okhotnik and other stealth drones as researchable vehicles

They could add aircraft from after WW1 to bridge the gap between them and the current reserve vehicles.
There was also WW1 infantry weapons in one of the datamines. IIRC there was the MP-18, Lewis gun and the Fedorov Avtomat which are most likely just unused files brought over from Enlisted.
Infantry is the perfect way of introducing WW1 properly into the game, most tanks built during the war were designed for shooting at infantry, theres armoured cars, and a lot of planes with bombs were designed to dive on enemy trenches dropping light bombs/flechettes/grenades. The planes themselves could work in the current air mode already but infantry would give tanks an opportunity too.

Have you played enlisted? If so can you tell me if the movement in the WT infantry test is actually less clunky feeling than Enlisted or does it just look that way?
I thought the movement was better than it was in Enlisted. Especially with changing poses it didn’t feel like you had chronic back and knee pain.
Ok that’s nice to hear as one of my biggest complaints about enlisted(after the awful UI) was the movement always feeling clunky as heck all the time no matter what control setup i tried.
Yeah I know but for what they said during the Q&A, moods and infantry anything pre pases Korea date seems like a lucky dip now it just annoys me how War Thunder prides itself for the amount of vehicles it has throughout the ages but yet doesn’t want to touch the foundation era at all. With the modern scene coming to a close end in about 3 years time they need stuff around WW1 to create that wow again.
Their only 5th gen jets and modern tanks they can only add for a few more updates before going fictional, I mean there a reason why they’re adding infantry now is because they’re going to run out of other things and that what gets me about them. It’s always the next modern stage, what new missile can we add, what ways can we make the game more modern.
I mean like BvvD said himself that he would rather have smaller maps “as that what players want”, that’s perfect timing for WW1 stuff along with infantry. But as per usual BvvD has his modern blinkers on again.

Holy tech priests of Mars.
why dont you compare it with helicopters?
if you really want to compare with planes then look at a10a early with aim9 dual rails that carry only 1 aim9
