Some stuff i wanna discuss when it comes to infantry mode and gain some opinions and so on

Game Discussion Infantry mode (WiP)

Why is people so much against AI in squads and infantry in general? im not rly a good english speaker so forgive me for alot of errors, and grammer mistakes

from my perspective AI is a great addition as that it will allow people to take more equipment with them into battle, sure i get alot of people hate Enlisted,s ai system but i feel like war thunder will improve over time, it just feels like this is the classic people who only want it to be human vs human like every generic shooter, i get it alot of people claim war thunder is a vehicle game but i look in closer to an combined arms game so infantry is litterly the last branch they need to add, it brings in alot of weapons, nations that istn being represented alot in games, like Sweden, Italy, Germany and so on, its litterly a win for the devs, you have call of duty, battlefield, squad for all of their stuff but none of those rly matter much to me atleast, i just want a game that can add in alot of stuff and fits the phase war thunder has, with all of its factions, sub factions, war thunder can do great in that section, better then naval in my opinion since tons of more people care bout infantry overall, atleast amongst all of my friends who wanna play that, maybe in simulator mode they could remove AI but in arcade and realistic it makes it uniqe, else as i said it would just be your average regular shooter game, when it comes to war thunder i kinda learnt to “never say never” when it comes to their development

why wont the devs add in ww2 infantry?

i keep hearing that “it will kill Enlisted” and so on but as one who have played enlisted for a very long time and are an official moderator for its discord i dont see it that way (this thread is just my personal thougths on this thats why im asking, i just mentioned im one of their mods so you guys know i have abit of exsperience with Enlisted system, im not representing anything in this, as i said its just my own personal thougth as a war thunder player and fan of both games), people will still play enlisted regardless and war thunder and enlisted is two different projects, others is saying Enlisted will merge into War Thunder wich i dont think will happend at all either, for War Thunder,s side its wasted potential to not add it, its litterly just the Enlisted vs War Thunder thing all over again, i never really gotten a clear answer on it

those are pretty much the two things i wanna ask abaout, this is also coming from someone who just have 1k hrs in the game so im far from an exspert

Gaijin doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to improving their game.

Going by that logic, War Thunder is already generic simply because it has tanks, just like many other games. Sounds stupid, doesn’t it? It’s like saying that one game is a copy of another just because they share the genre.

That I definitely agree with. Personally, I am hopeful about the infantry. Finally a breath of fresh air that people actually care about.

Enlisted is going to kill itself before War Thunder gets the chance to do that, let’s be honest. I hope they add WW2 infantry as soon as possible.

Overall, I think there is just a lot of anxiety among the community given Gaijin’s ability to fuck the simplest things up. Their games always work, can sometimes even be fun, but mostly there is just a lot of small, annoying stuff that takes away from the experience. People might be afraid of infantry ending up with a lot of wasted potential, like enlisted - that’s why they want to avoid similar gameplay solutions.

AI squads gonna make people sit in their bushes less and make them fear less and run towards objectives as it works in Enlisted.

I heard people tell that on the test they felt that arcade mode had way more dynamic than rb one cuz people started to fear running. Then imagine you steal their fast in-battle respawns and make them sit in a respawn menue… With limited respawns it will make another GRB where everyone are hiding behind the rock/bush and the only ones profiting from that are skilled ones who “break timings” and push these bush warriors. And then finish them with cas later.

So they should avoid adding enlisted’s most unpopular lone-foghters (no ai) mode, right? Right??

Gaijin should learn from Enlisted and improve bots as a feature. And shouldnt add intensive hangar management (managing EVERY soldier and all his equipment is bad), horrific 9 currencies, worse than anywhere else grind where you had to grind same ppsh 4 times just because you changed s map…

They should do WT’s way but with knowledge they got from Enlisted.

Of course they can!

Make rooms like in air sb, make big maps and 50vs50 battles. A couple of rooms will be full at any given time and no AI will be needed with such amount of players.

Cuz no matchmaker will manage 50vs50 battles with WT’s BR system and other factors that separate the playerbase without minutes and minutes of waiting. But rooms as in air sb will do that.
