War Thunder Infantry: Testing Details

Enlisted had lone soldier from the start. It was the dead gamemode no one ever played.

These who “would like to see such a mode” are the ones that won’t ever play. They want battlefield, but free to play, thats it. Gaijin won’t give them the Battlefield. And the point is not the bots.

Maps are different, gamemodes are different, vehicle mechanic and respawns are different. They already point here and there how they want Gaijin to make a battlefield clone. Just why. Battlefield playerbase won’t ever come to play War Thunder even if they copy the game. Because they are already playing the game they like, what is the point of leaving it for a free-to-play clone?

because war thunder is going to be more realistic ? sure its not a sim. but have u seen how some stuff works in battlefield ? manpads have a range of like 500m in bf 6.

Yeah, and in war thunder vehicles have HE shells that will kill you in a 10 meters radius… So, both sides will be more realistic.

This is confusing bro, is WT no longer a vehicular combat multiplayer video game?

It never was. It was an air sim all along.

Well yeah, it’s just Gaijin reusing assets from War Thunder. Even some of the old weapon models were ported over from the weapon decorators. They replaced it eventually but it took them several years.

Video about Infantry just dropped, basically just the same sort of showcase they did on stream but in way better quality as they had some quality issues with the stream:

I dont really think you can create an good fps experience with this warthunder engine
regardless if you have bots or not seeing how clunky everything turns out made with it
in the past that isnt an vehicle sim.
But hopefully iam wrong and it turns out good and doesnt go the way Enlisted did.

Sure it wont. Enlisted died because instead of making new content, devs for 5 years tried to invent how they want to see the game progression.

There were like… 5 major economic updates, each of which completely replaced an old system.

For 5 years they tried different things to just go the WT’s way of things and introduce BRs and normal tech trees with two types of currency instead of horrendous 6+ types in the past.

WT’s infantry will get actual content updates every 3-4 months, at least. When in Enlisted we are happy with “once a year” update that introduces a new map, 3 rifles, 2 tanks and a plane, lol.

I do hope so because i was hyped for Enlisted before but it just became a cashcow like as you said one could be happy if it got an update after an year but even if they did updates they were mainly focused on premium squads and laser like weapons it took them 5 years to “fix” things like bipods but it felt like every week they were pushing out premium squads.

Yeah, at least we will get like 4 updates a year with infantry-related stuff.
Alongside with new tanks and helicopters which have a use in infantry mode too.

Yeah, Gaijin will add many event stuff, many premium stuff, but at least, they will add more stuff in general.

No harm in staying positive. I get that you’re skeptical, but it might be a bit early to make a final judgement before trying it for yourself.

I’d rather give the feature a fair shot and then offer constructive feedback once we’ve actually seen how it plays.
