Ahistorical missions/campaigns: opinions?

Suggestions
1

As a life-long amateur buff of wartime history, I’ve always had a great appreciation of historically accurate games, or at least historically accurate as you can get for a game, regarding WWII: Post Scriptum, Hell Let Loose, and indeed Enlisted itself. I also, on the other hand, enjoy alternate-history and historical anachronisms in games: Wolfenstein 2009 and subsequent MachineGames’ settings, mods like HOI4’s TNO, I enjoy their re-interpretations and rather less-than accurate depictions of the war.

So, as it stands, I’m not at all bothered by the tendency for inaccurate weapons, kit and campaigns, and wouldn’t particularly mind seeing that sort of thing depicted: battles in nameless, fictional Castles and Chateaus between British Commandos and Fallschirmjager, all of that I’d be personally fine with seeing, provided it wasn’t the be-all-end-all of Enlisted, conquest maps set in strange, unnerving underground catacombs being fought between Soviets and Germans in the snows of Moscow’s outskirts.

Campaigns set around somewhat more Call of Duty, Medal of Honor or Hidden & Dangerous circumstances and settings, from underground labs to V2 rocket sites, all of that which would add new content to the game.

As an addition, it would be perfectly acceptable in my eyes - as a replacement, I think it’d be a misstep.

Obviously, I’m certain some people would disagree - as it is, I’ve seen many people voice their discontent with the likes of Mk42bs being included in the Moscow campaign given their prototypical and rare nature - but I am personally all for more ahistorical inclusions if it adds to the variety of gameplay already present.

Let me know your thoughts.

before they even think about this kind of thing they should get the current stuff working as intended at least

Definitely not. The fundamental basis of the Enlisted game on which the game is built is very far from your offer, and it would just be a total break of the Enlisted game.

Create as a standalone version of the game with this game engine? Or have special events like Halloween and so on. Why not. But in the original Enlisted game model, I don’t see that.

I would personally love a 1946 campaign with all the wacky prototypes and wonder waffles

nah, as you said, our weapon already kinda ahistorical. So, dont make this turn from bad to worse.
maybe just allow player made battle (just like WT) in the future.

I’d be okay with it, so long as it didn’t detract from the resources put into the traditional campaigns.
Seriously would love to attempt Operation SeaLion.

I don’t see how it couldn’t work if they make it seem plausible. They already have weapons in that weren’t issued and they have Custom Game mode which allows any campaign on any map. Once the Pacific front is done, they could do Operation Downfall like someone prior mentioned. Even if they were to come about on special events, why not make them persistent if they spent all that time making them? I still think historical campaigns should be the priority and they should finish the four we have now, and other historical ones to come, first, but there’ll be a time where they run out of campaigns for WW2, this could prolong it and could make the game a lot more unique. Either that or they’ll just go onto a different war, like they have with War Thunder.
