Originally posted by Gullideggel ツ: The infantry does anything?
I didn't even really notice them by now.
They are there and run around, sometimes (germans more then the others) but they didn't seem to do anything battlewise.
Yep, as mentioned in the news:
AI infantry roam the trenches and are a target while in your tank and plane. The British and German soldiers wear authentic uniforms from the time period and also charge into no man’s land. They can fire back at you and throw grenades, so watch out! Taking out one AI infantry will yield 5 mission points, up to a maximum of 500 mission points per battle (100 soldiers), helping to contribute to stage tasks.

Originally posted by jaxjace: Really made something special here gaijin, really love the dynamic of AI infantry, it adds a lot to the game and I hope someday to see them implemented, they add a lot to immersion and make for a more well rounded dynamic experience.
The WW1 Tanks and aircraft are chefs kiss, the fact that we get to keep all the ground vehicles is a very welcome addition.
Glad you like it! Read more

In the morning we were under heavy bombardment, and in the evening we got bitten by large rats in the trenches. We were ordered to go over top into no man’s land, where many of my friends were gunned down. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I have heard we lost 50 men in a mere few minutes. We are sacrificing so many for just a few feet of land, if that. The war has been raging for 4 years now, and today I saw the latest armored behemoth modifications roll forward and planes fly over and thought to myself: surely the end is in sight — I feel I am close to coming home to you now.” – letter from an Unknown Soldier, KIA, 1918. Welcome to The Great War in War Thunder!
When: From April 1st until April 7th (11:00 GMT), play in “The Great War” mode and complete stages to get and keep First World War vehicles!

Hi! We're updating the game with a minor update, servers may have some downtime:https://steamcommunity.com/games/236390/announcements/detail/547856738465875711
We're working on it! Please be patient.
Aircraft - F-117 — a task to acquire an additional camouflage has been changed. Now to obtain the camouflage, a player needs to destroy any ground vehicles (both AI controlled and players) instead of destroying players’ vehicles. The number of vehicles to destroy and the game mode multipliers have not been changed.
- Tiger HAD, Tiger HAP — a bug that caused the landing gear to be shifted has been fixed. (Report[community.gaijin.net]).
- T-10A — an ability for an additional respawn in the Ground Simulator Battles, which was present by mistake, has been removed.
- AMC.34 YR, H.35 and FCM.36 have been grouped together.
- The damage to a naval vessel caused by an explosion in the ammunition storage rooms has been adjusted. Explosion power now depends on the amount of ammunition in the storage — the more explosives there are, the more powerful the explosion will be. Damage from their detonation is now considerably larger and has a greater radius of effect, in which i...
