Possible fps mode?
Hi there, long shot and not sure if this has been discussed yet but after playing a few years this game, which I really like and enjoy.
Have the devs considered a first person shooter based to be added as an option? It would be great to see this option made to a history war game based. Imagine fps with the odd tank or air support. This would be an awesome addition to the game.

look up "Enlisted"

notice how when your tanks gunner or aircrafts pilot gets shot, there is no blood and rather than reporting them dead you get a message they are 'unconscious'... gaijin have stated portraying people getting killed, like for example infantry being run over or mown down by heavy machine gun fire would affect the games age rating which they are completely unwilling to do

though not directly made by them (they are the publisher, not developer) there is a game called enlisted which is exactly what you are asking for

Pretty sure they can also pretend shot soldiers are 'asleep' if their argument right now is somehow accepted :/

I think Enlisted is kinda in that line, never tried it tho
Play Enlisted. Same Publisher, same broken game. Same Grinding ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ AND They prolly add Pay2Win soon too.

I forgot to add that the game is dead so the fake developers add a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of Bots to your Team so you are constantly fighting alone vs an unknown amount of actual humans in the enemy team

Never tried enlisted or don;t see it here on steam but It would be nice for this game to have that option too right?

Dont waste time with Enlisted they killed it with the merge early this month, they basicaly turned it in WT with tech trees and BR matchmaking and everyones favorite "Silver" currency.
Play Post Scriptum thats currently the best WW2 game out there and is pretty much alive after the Devs of Squad bought the IP

Hi, a first-person shooter mode for War Thunder will likely never come. We've got our other title that we publish called Enlisted for this.

To abstract this away from warthunder to highlight how out of context this is

It’s essentially like going to Nintendo and telling them ‘you know the latest Pokémon game would be so much better if it depicted them being used in war and actually dying with visible gore’, like yes I’m sure there would be a market for such a thing but it both has nothing to do with the game you are talking about and would drastically change the age rating and thus the market they are trying to sell their content to

This is a game about vehicles with a 12+ rating that is so phobic about depicting death your gunner in an open top vehicle can take a 150mm he shell to the head and not only fail to depict anything more than them sagging like they fell asleep but only tell us they are unconscious.

Make it actually show that crew member being decapitated if not worse, let alone a soldier on foot being run over under a tanks tracks or cut in half by heavy weapons (and don’t even get me started on flamethrowers) and little Timmy’s mother might not be so happy to buy him a premium for his birthday

This might be a war focussed game but right now it is a relatively safe one for all those concerned parents, so it’s not so much a question about would it be popular, its a question of who they already marketed the game at because you don’t suddenly turn around and make Pokémon violent. If you are going to do it that’s got to be a different title

Thank you for letting me know. I didn't expect a Dev reply but its nice to see. I play War thunder and actually like the game as it it just was wondering if the option would become available as I wasn't aware of Enlisted.
I tried enlisted as suggested for a few matches and such with a friend. Everything awesome but the bots in the squad turned me off. Thanks to all for the suggestion and taking your time.
