DEV add simply a ww1\interwar event in simulator! top event ever
Another option to implementation is rank 0 as show this picture (as several people have already suggested here):
Practically the possibility to do research from rank 1 to rank 0, whoever wants to (reverse research - from more modern to less modern). Rank 1 remains the starting tier, so research will not be extended for those who go for more modern machines. The advantages over what is proposed in this thread are that all vehicles remain in their own folders and no additional folders are needed that can be used for other types of machines such as submarines.

This is a much better implementation. Had exactly this in mind when I was playing. Rank 0 alone, though, would probably need new maps. Most of the ones we have in rotation currently are terrible. Not only in aesthetics, but also gameplay wise with the ww1 vehicles. Already hate when this happens in-game, you’re in early 2000 with a pz3 and it just kills any sort of interesting immersion.

I’d like to suggest the possibility of adding an official, permanently available campaign mode for Ground Forces, focused on historical battles. Below are key reasons supporting this idea:
- Appeal to Military Enthusiasts: War Thunder’s high realism attracts players deeply interested in military history, many of whom study WWII tactics. Simulating famous battles from both World Wars would significantly engage this audience and draw in similar players.
- Technically Feasible: Many tanks in-game saw actual combat in WWII, with fully developed models already implemented. Numerous maps also have real-world prototypes—some even modeled after genuine battlefields. This means a campaign mode could be created with minimal additional development resources.
- Proven Success: The 2024 April Fools’ event recreating the Battle of the Somme was exceptionally well-received by players. Making such content permanent—and expanding it with iconic battles like the Battle of Villers-Bocage or Battle of Malinovo—would generate further positive feedback and enrich the game’s long-term value.
Thank you for considering this proposal. We appreciate your time and dedication to War Thunder!
+1 I wanna see more atrociously bad doohickeys to goof off in when playing custom battles
