Controversial opinion - PPSH 41(s) SHOULD BE ADDED to the Tech Tree

But a cool addition nontheless. We’ve been asking for unique faction identities for a very long time, and for that at least, it’s a step in the right direction. This now makes the Soviets the only faction in the game to have a Tech Tree suppressed weapon (take that how you will).

Asymmetric balance is dead; its developers killed it. Because in practice, asymmetric balance either doesn’t work or works very poorly.

@Master_Snail

Me being a F2P player, I will always be biased towards gaining free additions to the Tech Tree, even if they make some premium squads obsolete. Is it bad? Yes. Do I care? Let’s put it this way - I wasn’t the one who forced you to spend x amount of hours grinding or $60.00 on a premium squad.

I’m sorry if that caused offense, but it’s just the sad reality it is. You spent money at the time for a cool squad, and to donate towards a game you believe in. At the time, it was the right decision. Nothing could change that - other than poor choices that seem to be Gaijin’s bread and butter

I’m also an F2P player. I’ve been playing this game for a year and haven’t donated a single cent during that time. I’m against the PPSh-41 (S) not because I’m pro Pay-to-Win, but because I don’t want to see my World War II game turn into a circus like Battlefield.

@Master_Snail

Many people have proposed event squads or premium squads. However, I feel it’s lame, as grinding an event squad is overly complicated and time consuming. Turning it into a premium squad not only makes it unwanted, but also overpriced. No one is going to buy something overpriced and unwanted.

However, I have a better idea.

An event squad is the best idea. This will prevent the tech tree from being cluttered with unnecessary prototypes.

@Master_Snail

Why don’t we make suppressors like bayonets and scopes? Like, detachable from the weapon. The key difference will be that you have to buy the suppressor separately. I’m still deciding whether to make the suppressor cost 400 silver, just like a grendade, or even the same price as the weapon (so for the PPSH, being a BR V weapon, it would cost 2050 silver for just the weapon, and another 2050 for a suppressor).

That is some serious silver being spent. At least, for those still grinding. Perhaps a better idea would work a bit more like this. Most veterans have millions of silver stacked away. But what they don’t have is this…

Keeping on with the attachment purchase idea, I am proposing this new idea:

We don’t have silencers that can be removed and attached because:

1. Enlisted is a game about World War II. In World War II, ordinary soldiers weren’t supposed to have weapons with silencers; that was reserved for special forces. Otherwise, anyone could buy one, and World War II in Enlisted would be dead for good, or almost dead for good. All that would be left would be to add collimators to finally turn the game into a Battlefield-style clown show.
2. It’s too difficult for the developers. As far as I remember, there was a suggestion on the Russian forum to introduce a weapon customization system so that you could wrap rags around them, attach sights, etc. The answer, if I’m not mistaken, was that it was too difficult for the developers to implement, as they couldn’t make separate attachable and detachable modules for weapons. How did they make bayonets and barrel grenade launchers? Well, the old Darkflow team made them, and they knew how to make games back then. And the current developers have apparently forgotten how to make games.

@Master_Snail

You earn them through challenges or the BP, and you can go to the suppressor store to buy a suppressor for your weapon. Maybe a BP would make more sense, since you can only earn one per BP. That way, suppressors will still be rare, while still obtainable by everyone equally.

Seem like a better compromise than an event or premium squad (or just not adding it full stop)?

I would prefer the good old event squad with PPSh-41(S). And I repeat once again, the implementation of silencers that can be attached and detached is practically impossible for the current developers of Enlist. Not to mention that you can’t just take a silencer and attach it to a regular PPSh; it simply won’t work. In order for the same Bramit silencer to work on the PPSh, it would have to be heavily modified.

I’m just throwing ideas around, not saying:

“On behalf of the developers, we have decided to add detachable silencers to all weapons. We just wanted to show how much we (don’t) listen to our player base.”

To be honest, I probably wouldn’t play if cod like customisation becomes a thing, and especially if factions can share all their weapons like battlefield.

The game would be truly dead. . . . .

First I was a little dissapointed becouse I took 5 silenced PPD and it was a hard work for me. Now I feel like - okey - more contet - is good. Lets add this thing in TT and lets - what happens - (nothing bad - for sure). I thinks - the other factions will have some silenced weapons soon. Before that everybody acn try it in a soviet tech tree - thats good.

I hope so. Otherwise, the Devs will have some explaining to do.
