Sounds great +1

[thebellecurv]

you are right. it would be better to have them in a sub tech tree than in the normal one i would work better that way so new players dont start out with ww1 and start with the normal tanks but can start with ww1 if they want to.

Just got a suggestion approved for the Sopwith Camel

The Sopwith Aviation Company - Sopwith Camel: The Most Successful Fighter of World War One

[image] The Sopwith Camel is a British World War 1 light fighter that was introduced over the skies of the Western Front in 1917 where it quickly became one of if not the most successful aircraft to ever fly during the war with it being the highest scoring fighter in the hands of the Royal Flying Corp credited with downing 1,294 enemy aircraft.

History

The Sopwith Camel was designed by the Sopwith Aviation Company as a single-seat light fighter to be the successor to the Sopwith Pup which was …

Some more suggestions that have been approved

Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a: The Spitfire of World War One

[image] The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 was a single-seat fighter built in 1916 and flew during the war from 1917 by the British Royal Flying Corps.

History

The S.E.5 was designed by Henry Folland, Major Frank Goodden, and John Kenworth of the Royal Aircraft Factory in Farnborough. 3 prototypes were built, the first took it’s first flight on the 22nd of November 1916 with the second and third soon to follow however the first 2 prototypes were lost in crashes with the third aircraft surviving …

Bristol F.2B: Britain's Most Successful 2-Seat Fighter of the Great War

[image] The Bristol F.2B is a British 2-seat fighter/reconnaissance aircraft that served during World War 1 on the Western Front with the Royal Flying Corps.

History

In the Autumn of 1915 the RFC needed a new aerial reconnaissance and artillery spotting aircraft to replace their aging, pre-war Royal Aircraft Factory B.E.2c. Along with being a reconnaissance and spotting aircraft the RFC wanted an aircraft that not only had good performance, they wanted an aircraft that was more than capable of…

Sikorsky - Ilya Muromets (Type S-27 E): The Great War Giant

[image] The Sikorsky Ilya Muromets, named after the Ilya Muromets a hero from Slavic Mythology, was a 4-engine heavy bomber used by the Imperial Russian Air Service throughout World War One and later during the Russian Civil War by the Soviet Air Forces where they were used as transport and trainer aircraft.

History

The Ilya Muromets was designed by Igor Sikorsky in the Russo-Baltic Carriage Factory in Saint Petersburg Russia in 1913. First designed as a luxury airliner the Muromets was the fi…

Fokker-Flugzeugwerke - Fokker Dr.1: King of the Sky, A Legend will Never Die

[image][image] The Fokker Dr.1 was a legendary aircraft used by the Imperial German Air Service during the latter half of World War One. In the hands of many skilled ace pilots of the Luftstreitkräfte it would gain recognition of being a very deadly aircraft. One of many aces that honed the aircraft was none other the Manfred von Richtofen, more famously know as The Red Baron.

History

In February 1917, the equally famous Sopwith Camel started to appear in the skies above the Western Front, ove…

Uhhh, I’m not sure if this has caught your attention, but Gaijin’s new VR game, Aces of Thunder, is going to include WWI aircraft.

Aces of Thunder — World War I Aircraft

This could set a precedent for WWI content to eventually be added into War Thunder at some point in the future. The question is—when?

[joshje100]

Yeah it looks great, I think Aces will be worth the wait since it was postponed from Q4 2024m Hopefully Aces becomes a VR/WW1/lower tier testbed for War Thunder like how it seems War Thunder Mobile is a testbed for submarines and more modern naval.

[KillaKiwi]

I don’t see any WW1 mode every to get added to the game.
Simply because of how the games economy is structured.

Gaijin makes money by selling Premium time and 60-70€ premium vehicles.

So adding WW1 and interwar vehicles would be zero profitable for them.

Unless they sell the game mode as a 60€ pack or you can unlock it after grinding to some higher ranks or something.

[joshje100]

Since they are already making the models for WW1 aircraft for Aces of Thunder they can easily port them over to War Thunder since they will both be running on the same game engine and Aces is just War Thunder but working VR so it wouldn’t cost them much to do it.

[KillaKiwi]

Well that would work.

Sounds like the only way to improve WT nowadays is for Gaijin to make other games and then re-use the assets 😄

[Nostalgistic]

If Aces of Thunder sells like hotcakes because of the WWI aircraft, it’s bound to mean something. Gaijin would likely see it as a signal not to waste the opportunity to expand on this success by bringing full WWI content to War Thunder. It could open up an entirely new era of aviation/ground gameplay and potentially attract a new audience interested in the early history of aviation and ground vehicles before the 1930s.

[joshje100]

Well then, looks like the April Fools event this year will be WW1 with aircraft, tanks and infantry for testing.

We’ll have to wait and see what exactly it is like but god damn I have hope

[joshje100]

Since we now have some WW1 tanks in the TT’s now as rewards I think in the future any more WW1 vehicles are going to be added just at the start of the TT’s rather than in separate WW1 TT’s. Seeing this I put together a simple WW1 British aviation TT as rank 0 with 0.0-0.7 BR’s.

Planning on making some more for other nations such as Germany, France, USA etc with the aircraft each nation used throughout WW1 when I have the time to.

[StormRyder13]

+1 I’ve been loving the event, so I’d love more.

[Nena_Trinity2290]

Why stop there? How about a 1939 to 1953 like before missiles became a widespread thing, that could also be fun?

[Gale_Cleven]

Yes please, I want to see the Sopwith Camel Biplane. +1!

[G1label]

The little known “hamilton” or “oakland victoria” tank, a competitor to the ford 3 man tank. It was intended to house a 37mm gun in a rotating turret

Probably the stangest american design of the time that saw any production

[Hell_storm]

DEV add simply a ww1\interwar event in simulator! top event ever
