Why was enlisted a seperate game?

After april fools trailer a lot of players have been talking about infrantry in warthunder. I played a good bit of enlisted, and it was a pretty fun expierence but playing against bots every match with like half the lobby being real players killed it for me. Having to regrind vehicles, and pay for a seperate premium account and having to rebuy decorations and camos etc…

So why wasnt darkflow just put in charge of making assets for an inf tech tree in WT and having inf battles accessible via WT main menu? There would be like 1000x more players trying it out and Id probably play a match or two sometimes just for fun. It would at least be less of wasted bloat on the game size than naval ever was.

It talked about AI infantry in War Thunder.
Enlisted was developed mostly before Gaijin purchased the development studio.
Enlisted was never going to be anything other than a different game.

There are already games where you can play as soldiers, War Thunder shouldn’t be another one.

Because Enlisted was designed to be strictly WWII and you could only play specific battles with era correct weaponry. War Thunder was always based on vehicular warfare.

Yeah, it WAS…
quite sad that it has now become similar to dead copy of Infantry Thunder.

I quit playing it after a few weeks after we became sub-TT of the US.

enlisted was meant to be a ww2 shooter only.

Its Jet Age major update looks like they are about to throw that away fully. If this is the case they really should integrate enlisted into WT

Yeah, I remember when it was Britain versus Italy. Such a shame they went away with campaign. Now we have STG-44s in Moscow. I loved Enlisted because it was different from CoD Vanguard, now Enlisted has become Call of Duty.

I want a Korean War video game, I just don’t want it to become Germany vs Soviets in Chosin Reservoir like where Enlisted is going with their loose any country fights on any map.

that would be cool, I just don’t want enlisted to be bastardised with more modern stuff. The game is at its limits at its top tier already so any more modern kit is going to be extreme

It honestly wouldn’t be that game breaking, considering Korea was just Shermans versus T-34-85s and IS-2s, but now with jets.

War Thunder is 12+, adding infantry would increase the rating to something like MA-15+ etc… Devs want to keep War Thunder open to as many as possible

Only thing that war thunder could take from enlisted is system for “squads” -

Like, make 8vs8 lobbies, add very big maps, and let players play with “AI” squads, so you play not as single tank but as “4 tank platoon” - You drive one tank and have another 3 AI tanks that support you.

We would have very big tank battles on long distances.

That would be cool
