Man I wish that WT Great War event were Enlisted event instead since Enlisted can utilize every aspect of it (infantry warfare, tank warfare, and air warfare)

The infantry AI is better than enlisted - they stay in trenches, sometimes throw grenade bundles at tanks (which have no effect but at least they do it!), will charge across no-mans land in an organised rush making for cover, and MG’s will occasionally KO an armoured car
You have to use main guns to kill them tho - AFV MG’s are only useful vs low flying a/c - but I guess that’s a trade of for their grenade bundles not killing tanks!

April Fool’s event for vehicle game has better infantry AI than the infantry AI game, that’s just depressing

Thank you for your post.
Yes I fully support this idea.
I agree with the argument that Enlisted should go backwards before going to Cold War.
While Id love WW1, I also think the Spanish Civil War would be a good place to start first.
It had aspects of both world wars like trench warfare but also WWII era German and Italian aircraft for instance.
If it has to be an enlisted event, so be it, but yeah like a campaign option (think pre merge) for WW1 would be really cool.
Side note when I was playing this on WT the other night I noticed one of the ‘British’ soldiers using an M1918BAR. Did the AEF actually receive BARs? I thought they came too late??
And yeah I also was reminded of Enlisted in the way the infantry chuck grenades at you. In my case infantry did actually damage my tank with a grenade, they knocked my track off so I had to repair.
Enlisted would be good as there were actually a number of vehicles and ‘tanks’ in WW1 that could be added like the Renault FT, Rolls Royce Armoured Car (these were used in WWII in some cases), Erhardt armoured car, artillery tractors, tenders, the Whippet tank etc.
An omnibus APC would be cool. I am aware this is a toy (I own this exact one) but I think it shows the vehicle off better than grainy black and white pictures.
And mini railways! (narrow gauge were used by both sides)

It can actually damage your tank though.
If you push too far in the enemy lines and get stuck/immobilised bear a trench, you’ll get AT grenades thrown at you and they do damage your tank’s modules.
Agreed.
In addition, I think Russian civil war could be really interesting:
Imagine driving a Mark V tank in Tsaritsyn near some of the same buildings you saw in the version of this city when it became Stalingrad (like Repnikova House or Gorky Theater)!
PS
Thank you everyone for the likes, we already surpassed “Operation Lederhosen” with its 15 hearts lmao

Spanish Civil war is a very unexplored and interesting topic, I would love to see something like that

A WW1 event with some event squads would be so cool. It’d be a little anachronistic but at least would wouldn’t be so far gone as the goofy Halloween stuff we have now.
Absolutely would love that! I still firmly believe that a WW1 theme would fit perfectly with the Enlisted mechanics and the way the great majority of players play the game. And I honestly rather see them move “backwards” in the timeline than forward (like they sadly did in WarThunder) as it would be much more interesting (AND there are ZERO F2P WW1 games like this one out there, but tons of modern F2P shooters, so that would make the game unique, which in turn would mean players will flock to the game and result in more revenue for the developers & publisher).
I actually started a discussion about a “WW1 Enlisted” branch a while back (some of you might still remember it): Enlisted Future -> World War One (WW1) Campaign?

Great idea for a WW1, unfortunately Dark Force doesn’t listen to it’s players.

I like your ideas, but I would start it further back to pre-WWI. Russian-Sino War, Spanish American War, Boxer Rebellion would be interesting

Interesting concepts!
I personally like all those ideas, my only question to you is some people really seem to like their tanks/vehicles and aeroplanes so not sure how the playerbase would react to a purely FPS game.
Unless we added cavalry squads in the same manner as a tank squad??
Trains would be fun too.
Boer War anyone? (I doubt anyone’s seen the film Young Winston but it has some great Boer War scenes, also of course the Australian movie Breaker Morant)
You are probably right about the vehicle players not liking it, though, it would allow for small infantry guns, like Hotchkiss cannon, gatling guns, and early Maxims.

Cool. I know Id sure love some vintage HMG gameplay.
Ive been asking for the Vickers gun to be added to Enlisted, unfortunately a lot of people dont seem to know what it is.
Us Australians used them in the jungles of New Guinea and those things are heavy as hell.
I believe the Americans sometimes used the M1917 Browning machine gun which is a similar design.
All of them are of course based on the original ‘Maxim gun’.
Side note Nordenfelt would be cool, Im thinking of the film Khartoum about the battle of the same name General Gordon VS The Mad Mahdi and theres a river steamboat which theyve put wooden planks and such and British Egyptian Army soldiers operating a Nordenfelt as well as ordinary British civilians with Martini Henry rifles etc.
I’ve done that and had infantry throwing htem from all sides without suffering any damage - but if it’s happened to you then that shows the issues with my sample size of 1 player 
They actually react and shoot to the enemies entering trenches instead of looking at random direction like zombies.

they actually hit tracks with grenades and can kill open cab vagon of gerford.
they shoot pretty good, got killed a couple of times during trench runs on a fokker…
Also, they LIE DOWN when I’m trying to kill them from above, lol, like, the whole trench is hiding on the floor while I’m gunning them, then when I fly by - they get up and start shooting at me.
