Yes.
But not as much as before, and definitely not as much as real BF2 - Project Reality need.

It is exciting and horrifying in real life. But in a videogame, it is meh. You are charging forward with two dozens of other players, running forward and running and running toward the trenches meanwhile you pray that you don't get one hit killed. And repeat this in every charge.

Wrong.
They've learnt that sheeple never grow tired of being milked and that they will keep buying the same popamole + DLC every year until the end of time. They've also learnt that the typical modern gaming journalist is about as critical as an overworked dung beetle on Alprazolam.

TBH I did try a BF42 WWI mod back in the day and the fire angles of many tank weapons were horrible to single man.
Such gameplay would require the game to encourage teamplay with two to four people coordinating their actions to make a single tank, not to mention working together with the infantry supporting them.
Both the gameplay around them and real tanks suffer from the same fundamental problem and it's no surprise that both become far simpler to use in a WWII. WWI tanks were what they were commonly called back then, land battleships, not combat vehicles, a term that hints at something more compact and easy to use.

Just played the open beta for an hour. Felt like autism. Battlefield hasn't been decent since Bad Company 2, at least.
Today if you signed up via Battlefield Insider, tomorrow for everybody else.
So 1 day give or take.

Pointing and laughing.
While those assaults did happen, trench warfare constantly evolved. Later on in the war they usually used smaller stormtroop squads to try and infiltrate enemy lines. Night attacks, creeping barrages and using forward posts as a jump off point for the assault. Pretty cool stuff to try and simulate.
Oh, and tanks where indeed land battleships. Which worked well in earlier BF games. The armored personell carriers in BF3 had lots of gunpoints for soldiers who jumped in. Great fun to trundle around and spray fire with a full crew until someone wised up and fired an rpg at you. Make the vehicle slower, reduce the rate of fire and voila.

Can I have it then, please? The code is only for todays early access.
Holy fucking shit. Tried the beta for 2 hours now, it's AMAZING, really. They hit just the right spot. I just such a great time, good teamwork, too. Massive warfare, massive destruction. Graphics, sounds, everything is crisp.
Glad I pre-ordered this
Possibly the best battlefield for me yet

Game looks kinda crappy. Nowhere near the trailer footage.
Also, DX12 running slower (again) than DX11, including AMD:

I like the support class. Got a lot of points throwing out those little ammo packs and capturing flags. Tanks are fun if you're grouped up. The only annoyance are the snipers who infest every match and do nothing to help their team.
The problem, as usual, is the squad leaders not issuing commands and people not spotting them snipers. Fuckers would get bombed to oblivion if people just jammed enough of that "Q".

They need to adapt the Red Orchestra model of only one sniper per team or simply get rid of them from BF games. Hanging back and sniping with no care about the objectives goes completely against the whole concept of the core Conquest mode.
Of course EA will never reduce or restrict the number of snipers for fear of backlash from the whiners who will nerdrage if they can't play what class they want, when they want.
