These aren't really like anything in Battletech though? This is just a basic exoskeleton with either an equipped with MG and missile tech we already have, plus some kind of limited thruster. The mechs of Battletech even at their lightest way 15-20 tons, and stand 20 feet tall. If you're referring to clanner elemental battlesuits, then yeah to an extent, the ones used by the genetically engineered soldiers of Clan Wolf are similar to the ones in this event. The main advantage to a Battlemech though is that it can be operated in worse terrain due to its bipedal nature, and the lighter ones can both get moving pretty fast and also use jumpjets to maneuver over low hills and mid-size buildings. This allows them to get places tanks can't, loiter longer than aircraft, and bring a hefty array of lasers, kinetic effect weapons, and missiles.
@@satomonster568 these are almost exactly like Battletech jump infantry / infantry exosuits (they’re not quite to the level of Clan Elementals). I assume they’re saying they understand by Battlemechs absolutely wreck infantry.
@@BlueWizi this is still way more mobile infantry/Starship Troopers tho. Idk, OPs original reference was dull and only tangentially related. Regardless, superheavy infantry, walkers, submarines, and pirate ships should be added back into warthunder general play.

You kind of just have to blindly press W and A or D, while trying to get far enough away to get them under max elevation, other wise you are just a sitting duck for the suits.
1:34 An infantry unit being able to withstand a 120mm APFSDS round capable of penetrating 630mm of armor tier steel without taking any damage has to be one of the Gaijin moments ever.
It's not a bad event considering what we have been getting WT got a sliiightly new breath of fresh air because now you can explore it vertically and go places you normally didn;t But the Sniper pick is honestly busted with that 30mm compared to other exo suits
@@jarry1595 Yeah it was pretty ok but...generally in the past we were getting some original idea like KV-2 walker or....Ships with Assassins Creed 4 style of combat
Between the old April Fool's walker tanks, the Atomic Heart ones this year and the MI they've got here, you actually would have you a helluva good game.
At least by the time you get there you will actually know how to play well and be pretty good at the game. My boys and I have been SUFFERING recently due to 9.7 NATO teams being 80% composed of people in premium tanks with no lineups, sometimes backups, and that barely know how to play. The Russians are also mostly premiums, but they have whole premium lineups of 2S38, TURMS, BMP-2M, and SU-25K.
Actually i'd like to see infantry in the true war thunder, carried by cargo vehicles such as a btr-80. A infantry controlled by the AI that in an alternative game mode has to be defended that gives tactical support like for capturing points or Attack enemy infantry
they basically have the other game that's based on inf and tanks, but it's dogshit imo, it feels like crap, dumb ai's all over with the ocasional player switching to them after dying, crouch, get up, shoot 2 times, get 1 kill, rinse and repeat. Feels way too mechanical compared to all other wwii fps games
This is still more interesting than a lot of shooter games on the market. Goes to show Gaijin could make engaging games if they wanted to, they just choose not to
Some how the sniper vs sniper scene in this event reminds me of Hunt:Showdown gameplay, 2 players with low-firerate weapons shooting at each other while strafing left and right, both hoping their shots will hit first🤣
It would be much more fun/useful if you got SL and RP rewards for playing, like in WW mode. As it is, I played a few games with my son and then went back to the regularly scheduled Grind.
@@LOMANDIN leg, head, ass, etc. are considered separate modules from each other, like an engine, a gun, etc. This is not an innovation, the usual mechanics Infantry in War thunder... a controversial issue. When there is enlisted. Maybe it will be given to BMP and APC for faster capture of points or with the ability to go out and mark the target / shoot from a grenade launcher. An armed analogue of recon micro. IMHO.
I recall seeing one unit using Spike missiles, the Israeli ones. And this actually does a decent damage modeling for humans that could be adapted to crew damage as well.
Not sure what the thought process was behind "here's one class that can oneshot anything and everything, and here are three more classes with terrible MGs and bad missiles"
I won't even try to play 3 battles in this mode as I did earlier with April fools' day events after seeing it's has a marathon system with 40k points to unlock shitty rewards.
if you are Veteran WT Player, you may know this is not only April Fools.. Gaijin Devs is test something feature to release in soon. just like they testing Ship gameplay and Thermal Vision and Submarine in Previous April Fools.
fr tho, should make this its own game/mode. would be a blast to play (add more customization/weapons for the mechs ofc) but other than that would be cool
These are closer to Battle Armor or Elementals in the Battletech universe. If they are basing off Mobile Infantry in Star Ship troopers novels, these nightmares carry tactical nukes lol.
Didn’t think they’d be able to do it, but I’ve gotta hand it to the developers: this new Battlefield 2042 update looks great
2142*
*Ahem* better then the actually game
@@jacopocarrea1393 better than your english wtf man
Tbh, if they actually add in Infantry combat with building destruction. It'll be the best Mil Sim game there was.

Most of the games I just poke around the nooks and crannies of the maps you can't at in a tank or helo.
We’re gonna get a Atomic Heart event as well, there’s a whole tech tree of vehicles
2:25 bro got his nuts evaporated 💀
Just kill me at that point haha.
That's what you call "balls of steel"
So his nuts turned into a gas? Lol
Ah yes it's nice to see Gaijins hit registration is still dogshit.
Hit
I love shooting 35 rounds into somebody sitting still and then someone insta killing someone in 2 shots
When was this game good ? As long as they do money
@@ZDDW You are off topic

I wish Gaijin would put a server browser up with these alternate type gamemodes, cause they are really fun.

Laughed way too hard at the Abrams being swarmed and bullied at 5:30
That's how using a tank in this mode usually goes lol. Swarmed by jumping anti tank mechs playing whack a mole behind buildings.
This happened to me in a T-80 and actually made me question my competence.
@@peterni2234 happened to me after killing 2 Bradleys and 1 abrams

@@Snack-Sized-Femboy You just have to go with infantry support, I always go where there's more of my teammates and get plenty of kills that way
Robert A. Heinlein would be so proud of all these men in exosuits bunny hopping around.
The book certainly emphasised the importance of mobility for the mobile infantry.
Now add some depleted uranium and flamethrowers
And Nike grenades, more armor, and then increase the jump to kilometers ranges and we’ll be in heinlein’s realm.
(Rico approves this message)
Was gonna say!!
My favourite thing in Malzi's videos is when a rocket is incoming, better call saul's theme is playing
"Mobile Infantry made me the man I am today!"
Now THIS is a bruh moment
5:41 this might be the most accurate usage of this meme in your videos 😂 fits so perfectly
Who's come back after the shot new april fools event
5:20 Tactics Malzi, tactics...
This event is honestly pretty fun. I've heard rumors that they are testing a new crew model and possibly infantry
The Snail never fails to deliver on Fools day, now they went full Armoured Trooper Votoms.
It's refreshing to see that War Thunder is allowed to be fun 1 day of the year
Is it bad that I kind of want them to make a game based around mechs? Cuz this looks fun as hell.
Between the old April Fool's walker tanks, the Atomic Heart ones this year and the MI they've got here, you actually would have you a helluva good game.
Mechwarrior might be a good alternative at the moment
@Ryon517 oh I am a die hard mechwarrior player. I do love me some good mecha.
@@Herbile7 in that case remember Hawken
@@ryon5174 Now you're just making me sad.
I like this event cuz it gives me a taste of top tier tanks. Only two more years of grinding till I get one of my own 🙏
Or 60 bucks
Top-tier most likely *won't be* the magical experience _you may think_ it will be.
2 years is a BIT optimistic, don'tcha think?
Top Tier actually sucks so much, just thermal and CAS everywhere. Enjoy late ww2 / early cold war tier, I reckon they are the best.

Dang those Mech Arena sponsors weren't lying

Compared to this years one, this is better
Surely this will mean they're adding infantry just like they added submarines after silent thunder and space ships in 2020
this mode bring me good memories of BF4

EDF! EDF! EDF!
I love how I can hit some random guy with a 120mm APFSDS round, yet it does precisely nothing.
every single time they jump they should be saying "on the bounce!"
As an SPAA main, this was a Tuesday for me.
5:42-6:07 is a masterpiece

Как думаете - что улитки тестят на этот раз?
What do you think - what are the snails testing this time?
new crew damage system (if you see, people in this gamemode have:
head, 2 hands, body and 2 legs.)
Or maybe they are planning to add infantry to ground battles who knows

Me waiting for someone to be picky about the armor stats and release classified docs on the mech suit.
Nothing like waking up to a new Malzi video. 😊
My ears immediately died after opening this video
i have managed to miss every single war thunder april fool.
This is just straight up Fencer from EDF and I love it
Malzi hears a radio order from an military Puerto Rican officer named Juan Rico to back-up Izzy's position from a bug's charge attack🤓
WAAAAY better done than what they did for enlisted. Those things take jank to a whole new level.

“Professionals have standards” - The Sniper
BTW I really like this event it’s super fun

Starship Troopers from the novel (No Movie)
When you can just peek around in human-sized juggernaut is a dream
finally
Tanks supported with infantry like they are supposed to be
3:10 - well, the way everyone jumped to the sound of Mario was extra cute
this update is so fun, getting to use the infantry fighting vehicle to fight infantry
ngl… this would have been the absolute PERFECT event to bring back the almighty ST-1
This really makes me wish Hawken on PC was still a thing, even the gun sounds feel familiar
Maaan, your videos are awesome ❤
This is essentially fencers from EDF in the modern world
Honestly the best thing to see is a swarm of guya jumping around a tank as the tank panics
fr tho, should make this its own game/mode. would be a blast to play (add more customization/weapons for the mechs ofc) but other than that would be cool
The moment an age comes, when these become a reality, we will finally be able to say goodbye to all forms of vehicular warfare...
Lol the ABRAMS FLASH😂😂😂😂 this editing is hilarious
these exosuits are vaguely reminiscent of the mgs 5 walkers by design...
it's so funny
Video: no speech, just some sounds
Automatic subtitles: hmm yes, _foreign_
this video will be the simulator battle when armored battle suit is widespread in the future
0:45 PARKER GET OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Blessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.
Why do you gotta remind me of that moment?
This is the closest we will get to Space Marines.
ah yes, armored core vi gameplay reveal
This game mode make me remember the movie: World Invassion: Los Angeles Battle
This exosuit thing should be a standalone game tbh
Holy fuck I havent laughed this hard in a while oh my god
Thank you Malzi, you're a God amongst shitposters
im honestly impressed with this april fools. Though this is also the first warthunder april fools I've witnessed :)
Watch videos of the others. They're pretty fun. The only one I played was the cartoony war version of "Tail Spin", lol
"I've Fallen and I can't get up!" Simulator xD
damn malzi 6 minute content fill my emptyness
I cant believe this is an april fools event. this looks like a full gamemode.
This the best content on yt
That thing is like a an exoskeloton from cod advanced warfare
They always come up with fun stuff 😂
A better April fools would be the developers announcing they fixed the game
*Infantry on rooftops taking shots at bradleys and abrams*
Ah yes, the long awaited Fallujah simulator.
Its like Battlefield sniping all over again
The villager dying sound effect is perfect for these dudes
Starship Troppers, if filmed accurately like in book!
I love the way they just fall after dying
Aside from all the jet packing this seems very viable.
This is how fighting Clan Elementals (Battletech) must feel like 😅
Mech gaming peaked with the FASA universe.
These are closer to Battle Armor or Elementals in the Battletech universe. If they are basing off Mobile Infantry in Star Ship troopers novels, these nightmares carry tactical nukes lol.
finally, the infantry fighting vehicle can vehicularly fight infantry
Its always cool how a 50. cal to the head does more damage than a 125mm APFSDS round to the head.
