Someone has an idea when the new event will begin and what it will be
I would be extremely surprised if it isn’t an april fools event starting Monday or Tuesday. :P

I hope it is something fun and a prelude to a revolution of the game

The DEV’s have historically used the April fools event to test new mechanics in one way or another (not sure if that’s true for all of them though).
I personally think it would be really cool to see them test hyper maneuverable aircraft, very modern IR-missiles and the multi ground vehicle Anti Air systems. They could do that with some sort of Sci-Fi shooter with aircraft from the future and photon-missiles and things like that.

Or flying ponies for that matter, or a “Kaiju Snail” (imagine if that was an option to replace the nuke with <3 ).
I’m a bit sad that i wasn’t around for those events, i’ve only been playing for 3 years. :(
Would be cool if they added back all the old April fools events so that they could be launched in custom games :)

Wow… I’m old…
Having custom modes that would last a bit longer would be immense fun, kinda like the silent thunder playtest. That was a GREAT gamemode with a decent premise, ignoring the obvious bugs, and I think it would pass as a great one-off gamemode like Heli PvE.
Also… bring back heli PvP
They took that mode away because no one played because of Ka-50…instead of upranking Ka-50 or give solutions for the other nations. And even if the trees got filled and now they do have anti-air options after a point the mode stayed retired.
This was a good mode , but they haven’t implement submarines to the game still, and i don’t feel that they will.
It was still a VERY populated mode. There was even an entirely separate rank bracket in the server selection menu that you could play that limited you to Rank 5 only… As always, War Thunder players have bigger mouths than brains and didn’t even know that existed while still continuing to bash the mode.
GSB was still the best mode for per-kill income over Heli PvP, and you had both the AH Mk.1 and EC-665 UHT vastly outgunning the Ka-50s and Ka-52s. Now we have the later 129D, 665 HAC and 665 HAD-2, and the AH-60.
There isn’t much of a place for them apart from a dedicated gamemode for sub vs sub gameplay.
Yes the April Fool’s Day event was historically “just for fun” with things like Gaizilla(my first April Fool’s 6 weeks after I had started playing. . . very exciting)
Inflat-O tanks(these were great and the amount of work they put into them was astounding) Mech Walkers . . . even the Galleons were great fun with the KRAKEN!!(they were testing water at that time, but it was ok, the fun was still there) . . . and then came the real testing . … desert tanks maps with MBTS & helis . . . that was basically the end of fun events and turned the whole tradition into a free test bed for the Devs ever since.
Good times, by alas . . . seems to be days gone by . . . but we can always hope
A return to just some fun events would be a pleasant surprise.
We shall see . . . . 🤞
