Are the Walkers still in game or no?
I was looking to come back when i saw they had walkers in the game like Dust. I had no idea they had added these. Are they still playable in game?

No. That was an April Fool's thing.

No idea what gup has to do with the walker, but IMO all april fools events should be available in custom battles.

I'm talking about how people don't want stuff on their "realistic" game. That's why i mentioned GuP, and obviously, the walkers.

I have not seen very many people be angry at the walkers. When ever they are talked about it is people wanting them back.

That's because it's obvious april fools joke. The storm would begin if they were permanently added

It wouldn't be a storm if it's added into custom battles, in case you haven't been there, there's gigantic roads going in between mountains, floating death stars and all sorts of stuff.

Well heres my opinion: I was about to reinstall for the walkers. When i found out they werent in i decided no reason to reinstall the game as i have more time and cash invested in WoTs.

LOL... upset about WWII tank game not having completely fictional mechs that were introduced for April Fools? Are you mad about the giant Gaijin snail monster no longer existing in Air Battles, too? Maybe the WoT tanks being turned into cubes that look like a 3D version of "Combat"? Also, didn't WoT have giant spherical tanks at one point?

Since when does "investment" into a game have anything to do with fun factor? I had most of the premiums and end-game tanks in WoT... I got bored eventually... now I have most of the Premiums in this game. Different games with different approaches to the same basic thing. If I wanted a mecha-based game, I would check-out a mecha-based game.

Yes, I do think it would be cool to have all of those cool alternative modes and vehicles in Custom Games that maybe reward some sort of stickers or titles, though.

Its pretty simple. Both games have tanks. I have bigger better tanks in WoTs. If War Thunder were to offer something no other game had like DUST walkers then i could see investing time and cash into it. But why would i play another tank game when Im playing one now that i have invested alot of time in. Logic, I know sucks sometimes.

Your same logic is dooming you: see warthunder combat mechanic is different from World of Tenks, there you can go full rambo without problem and RNG > Skills: once in WoT, my KV-2's 152mm HE which does 1000 damage in case of succesful penetration [56mm], hit a nashorn's frontally [which ofc should penetrate], guess how much damage I did? 10, just 10 miserable damage. No wonder sometimes why I prefer WT over WoT...

Why?... because they are different games with different mechanics. Maps are structured differently and of varying sizes, objectives are slightly different, damage models are vastly different (no "normalization" in War Thunder, and over-all more realistic), 2 different graphics engines = different graphic effects, and the WT community tends to be less toxic... you won't be called a "noob" in chat every round even if you are one, which allows players to actually learn how to play instead of constantly being insulted every other match.

I put hundreds of hours into WoT, I was part of several top Clans, and even competed and won in a several events/tournaments.

I mean, I don't know, I have just about every tank down every research tree in WoT (with the exception of Japanese, which were added much later), and I'm now here, grinding my way up through Tier 1-3 in all nations. Why do I do it? Could "fun" have anything to do with it?

Mind you, I'm not saying anything bad about WoT (obviously I liked it, minus the community), but it's not very logical to have the deciding factor be if fictional mechs (or spherical moon tanks) are a part of the every day game experience of either WWI semi-historical game. Just my 2 cents.

Actually the fictional mechs are a deciding factor for me. I could care less for anything else WT has right now.
