Infantry is a separate game mode from Ground arcade/realistic/sim.

Oh I completely forgot that lmao
No and please don’t make any as they will be removed.
Which is a smart decision, adding infantry to normal GRB is a good way to kill said GRB.

There’s literally stats all over the internet for that, no need to make some here (they’ll be biased anyway since the forum is a small part of the community)

Still no Swiss tanks
so far, yeah
Not happening
war thunder could have spec ops but with air around any human with any amount of armor is fried I must say especially since we get clusters soon
Would be great, AI infantry infil/exfil could be great for the mode along with cargo/transport aircrafts if/when they are added.
