Whats the point of infantry in war thunder?

we already have a war thunder with infantry, enlisted. so why not just add modern stuff to enlisted?

They are completely different games for one Enlisted is only published by Gaijin not developed by Gaijin were, War Thunder’s Infantry is made by Gaijin and IIRC from some of the first streams from War Thunder official accounts the way it could come to War Thunder would be completely different than how Enlisted is/ going to be in the future.

Developed entirely by a different studio, different team and that team doesn’t want their game based around WW2~ to be shafted with modern additions it was never meant to receive (similar to how WT struggles with modern additions now). Infantry in WT is a logical next step since they own a lot of infantry assets and can work on their own terms rather than trying to convince another team of developers.

i agree i personally played mr snail game because i liked Fw 190 and tanks i don’t like infantry games that’s just my personally opinion am worried mr snail will focus only on them even if it’s added i will never play it i don’t like it 🫠.

Enlisted is a side project from a studio formed by a team that used to be in Gaijin. Formally, Gaijin is only the publisher. I am sure they used Enlisted as a way to test the waters as well. In any case, if you understand WT’s business model, it’s obviously much better for them to have everything in one game if they can.

Moreover, especially in the second test, infantry in WT showed clear signs of departure from Enlisted, since now you play as an individual soldier rather than a squad.

They’re also trying to get right the thing that Enlisted never did - the balance between vehicles and infantry.

Even this “modern focus” thing is mostly a fig leaf tbh. WT’s infantry mode “starts in the Korean War” but plenty of WW2-era small arms were used in Korea! So functionally there’s almost no difference. The actual difference will be the absence of Wehrmacht infantry as a playable faction in the Korean BRs, I guess.

WT is predicated on constant expansion. With ground and air nearing the cutting edge, this means that the next 3-5 years will largely be about:

Addition of utility/wonky vehicles (see the metric ton of SPGs and IFVs joining the game)

Addition of infantry

Addition of submarines

Addition of aircraft carriers

Addition of more complex combined arms game modes (see the SEAD tests and nuclear thunder)

ive heard from a Yt vid, that infantry is here to distract us from the problems of the game, like how ground disrtaced players from air. Is this true?

For Moderators

Not my opinion, just telling what other contencreator are telling

people constantly complain abt ARB/ASB and GRB, so i would say not true in the slightest. people who stick to their own modes (a fair amount of ground players only stick to ground, same w air players to air) will always be around and will always find smth to complain about (reasonable considering how broken this game is.)

Not that CCs are always in touch with the community anyways. Astro for example often ignores buffs and nerfs because he “doesn’t see a difference” (the evidence is right infront of him)

Its a take that’s for sure, but doesn’t mean because someone on YouTube or wherever says something like that doesn’t make it True!

Fun. New types of fun

Gaijin is not that intelligent to handle these effects; would call them side effects due to the hatred within player base towards each other

A-10 would now finally able to kill targets in Toyota and slippers :D

Last ditch efforts by Gaijin

That’s such a stupid take lmao.

The game is more popular than it’s ever been, it’s one of the most long-lived MMOs in the industry, and on top of that, it has always relied on constant expansion as its core model.

relax a bit. Cool down you big fat a*** with a round of 11.3

I am very relaxed. Just amused that a WT content creator could make such a stupid claim about a game he literally creates content for.

I certainly seem to be more relaxed than you, bro. 😁

did i ever mention that i am very ragebaitable?

we should do a 1v1

Because what other way could there possibly be to settle an argument about a CC coming up with insane ideas, right? 😁
