3. 🛡️ Strengthening Synergy Between Infantry and Ground Vehicles
· War Thunder's potential lies in combined arms combat, so the synergy between infantry and ground vehicles must be further strengthened.
· The utilization of Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFVs) and Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) is particularly important, and ways to deploy them alongside infantry on the battlefield should be explored.
· Similar to how mechanized infantry used half-track vehicles to transport infantry in the past 'Enlisted' game, War Thunder can also utilize modern APCs and IFVs.
· Vehicles like the Bradley (IFV) and M113 (APC) are specialized for infantry transport and support. The Bradley, in particular, has firing ports that allow infantry to shoot from inside the vehicle, making it useful for defense and offense.

4. ⚔️ New Game Modes and Balance Adjustments
· Two main game modes will be tested in this CBT.
· The developers have introduced modes that support a large number of players to test server stability.
· Infantry mode is intended to add a new playstyle to War Thunder, similar to naval battles, and arcade and realistic infantry combat modes are expected to be implemented in the future.
· Providing an immersive, player-centric combat experience rather than bot-filled battles is crucial, and we hope that solo mode will remain a permanent mode.
· To adjust balance, spawn restrictions for aircraft (especially drones) will be applied.
