For modern IFVs give capability to launch scouting drones

[Luxaeterna]

Given the state of war in 2020s, drones have become a mainstay in reconnaissance. Is it possible to equipped IFVs with a drone to scout ahead?

drones can be countered by just shooting them with inaccurate AI machine guns similar to how AA in Naval works.

to expound on "inaccurate fire" in Naval

as soon a AI detects the drone it will shoot roofmounted guns if the vehicle has any on the hostile drone's general direction, the closer the drone is to the vehicle the more accurate the AI will shot. the player also get to turn on or off the AI guns like in Naval.

Good idea!

I would also like to see IFVs carrying small fireteams of infantry that is able to capture the objectives.

This would make the machine guns on these tanks more useful and give them a purpose.

I can see the former being added, and while the latter could be interesting, I don’t see it being added since this is a vehicular combat game.

There are IFVs in the game. An IFV is an Infantry Fighting Vehicle.
We also have helicopters and planes in tank matches.

I don't see anything wrong with adding some infantry, it only adds up to the realism as tanks would never ever combat without infantry protection.

It would definitely be a nice fresh feature and make IFVs actually useful and give them a purpose, other than their mounted ATGM they sometimes carry.

I go further and say helicopters and planes could drop out paratroopers. Imagine how amazing that would be.

Because a vehicle game with a few AI units is the same as an infantry game with a few vehicles?

Gaijin actually has a similar game with Infantry with warthunder vehicles physics. Airplane and Tank gameplay are also in 1st Person.

Enlisted

No idea how to respond to that in a polite manner.

they won't add infantry because the game's age rating would go up if you could mow down human lives with a machinegun while in a tank lol

[SleeprunnerInc]

Game is not designed for infantry units.
Most we would get is drones.
If you want infantry, then play Enlisted.

I don't think this is true. They already show people dying, it's just people in vehicles.

Actually no.
They are ''Knocked out''.
They are never murdered, killed, maimed.
They are always knocked out.
You can see this in tanks that are open and where the crew is that they just fall asleep.

What about when the tank blows up and burns for the duration of the match? Or when a plane crashes into a mountain? Or when a ship gets torpedoed and sinks, taking hundreds of people down with it?

I don't think those folks are sleeping.

They automatically teleported to the base. That's why you can see them again after the match lol.
And yes, I'm 10000% sure teleport is a total exist technology in WT universe. Wherever you land your plane at the airport you always suddenly teleport back to the end of the runway after 20sec.

Minors are usually not the ones buying products on this game, therefore it is irrelevant if they play or not.
I also don't think anyone cares for the age rating nowadays, it's just a recommendation anyway.

Game would feel a lot more pleasing to me if I can mow down burning tank crew trying to escape from their destroyed tank.
