Diary of a veteran player who cares about history in this "New Enlisted"

Game 55.
Join any team.
BR2.

Japan. Alligator Creek.

Pacific matches are hard to judge on the WW2 scale because most of the Japanese tree past BR1 is basically made up, so take these ratings with a pinch of salt.

Let’s say 0.75 WW2 points because there were no obvious eye sores.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 42.5/55


Game 56.
Join any team.
BR2.

Japan again. New Georgia.

Another genius team that snipes with bolt actions from far away and doesn’t build rallies.

0.75 WW2 points.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 43.25/56


Game 57.
Join any team.
BR2.

Germany. Steel Mill.

Surprisingly, another low BR Normandy game. I was sure that before Germany low BR was only playing Moscow and Tunisia.
Kind of weird to see MP-28 in late war scenario but I guess “Germany had to scrap whatever they could in Normandy” works here.

Surprisingly, another braindead Germany team where only 1 other person knows how to build rallies.

Felt nice though, solid WW2 point.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 44.25/57


Now to address this point, I do believe that I created kind of a ‘safe space’ for myself by only playing BR2, where I don’t meet any of the cancerous eye sore BS like Tiger 2 in Stalingrad so far.

So for the sake of experiment the next few games I will play as “Join any team” on BR3 (except Japan BR2 because I simply haven’t unlocked the BR3 stuff) to have all the maps and MM queues available for selection.

However, obviously I do not to waste my own time so any BR4-5 game in Stalingrad will be an insta quit and 0 WW2 points, and my BR3 KV-1 with 76mm T-34 in Berlin also have high chance of being an insta quit.

But before I move to BR3 tests, some final BR1-2 games:

Game 58.
Germany BR1.

Tunisia Fortress.

Nice game, solid WW2 point, however I did feel dirty when using a Czech Pz 38t in Africa.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 45.25/58


Game 59.
USSR BR1.

Kamenka River (!) conquest (boo)

image

Nice WW2 feel but another unbalanced stomp.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 46.25/59


Game 60.
Japan BR2.

Munda Trail.

Nice WW2 feel, standard Pacific 0.75 points.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 47/60


Game 61.
Japan BR2.

Gavutu.

Nice WW2 feel, standard Pacific 0.75 points.

Not sure how you can now kill yourself with AP mines?

Game 62.
USSR BR1.

Vysokovo Village.

Slugfest and meatgrinder, braindead team refuses to build rallies again, but the Germans finally stopped at the last objective.

Proper Barbarossa experience, solid WW2 point.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 48.75/62


Game 63.
USSR BR2.

Vysokovo Village again.

Nice WW2 feel again but this time a roflstomp.

Game 64.
Join Any Team BR2.
Germany.
Berlin???

Ah. Finally it was my time to be that guy who forgets one squad/weapon and my otherwise BR2 bolt-action based squad got sent to Berlin just because my Sd.Kfz 7 guys had G41s.

Valiant effort by the team though (update, further investigation shows top 3 were a stack :confused: ), and decent WW2 feel if it wasn’t for the occasional AS BS in the kill feed.

0.75 WW2 points.

Game 65.
USA BR2.

Pacific. Tenaru.

Why do my paratroopers sometimes drop 400+ meters from the destination?

All in all good game I guess. But I still feel dirty using Crusader and SAS boys in shorts.

Standard Pacific 0.75 WW2 points.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 51.25/65


Game 66.
Join Any Team BR2.
Germany.

Normandy Omer.

Sweaty game against a well-coordinated American top 3 and insane reinforcement points, but felt good.

Solid 1 WW2 point.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 52.25/66


Game 67.
USSR BR1.

Stalingrad Gogol Street.

Meatgrinder of a low tier game, filthy impact grenades spam by the Germans, consistently braindead Soviet team who snipe from 5 km away when the objective is being lost and refuse to build rally points.

2k poinst gap over second place didin’t help to win, but the game felt really like Stalingrad with PPD-34 and MP-38.
No insanities like ASs or Tiger 2 in Stalingrad.
Nice.

Solid 1 WW2 point.

However I truly feel Germany gets way more reinforecement points in Confrontation Stalingrad as compared to USSR.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 53.25/67


Game 68.
Germany BRV.

Normandy D-Day.

Hard fought battle, felt a lot like D-Day slugfest. Nice. Solid point.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 54.25/68


Game 69. Nice.
Germany BR5.

Normandy. Gare de Saint-Lo.

For once I decided to play tank in my Tiger 2 H and my team was unable to hold any point for a second, so we turbo-lost to American paras spam and cap time advantage almost under 10 minutes.
Wow, team…

Felt like Germans in July 1944 though, totally inept against paratroopers.
Solid point.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 55.25/69


Game 70.
USA BR2.

Pacific Gavutu.

Tough game with well balanced teams. And well, traditional 0.75 WW2 points for the Pacific.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 56/70


Game 71.
USSR BR2.

Stalingrad Gogol St.

Poorly balanced team, the Germans were unable to offer any attacking prowess.

But felt very Stalingrad-y so solid WW2 point.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 57/71


Game 72.
USSR BR2.

Stalingrad Station conquest.

Fast and quick, but felt right. Solid point.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 58/72


Game 73.
USSR BR2.

Moscow Vysokovo.

Very WW2-feeling match but poorly balanced, the Germans were repelled in the snows of Moscow almost like Stalin thought they would have been.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 59/73


Game 74.
USSR BR1.

Moscow Vysokovo.

A real tough Barbarossa style battle to the last point, classic braindead Soviet team refusing to build any rallies, Terminator guy flying all game with ~5 kills and stating in chat he’s been playing Enlisted since 2017…

Solid WW2 point even though it felt like 2v4.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 60/74

For the sake of experiment I am going out of my comfort zone on BR2 and starting tests with Join Any Team BR3 + Japan on BR2 because I don’t have its BR3 stuff.

Game 76 (2)

Uptier.

Berlin River Crossing.

Another TWO stacks, another turbo loss.


I don’t know what happened to German teams, guess when you’re not the one carrying with BRV stuff no one can do anything.
However with 2 stacks for Soviets I can’t really blame my team.

Felt nothing like WW2: Fedorov, Horn, etc. – 0 WW2 points.

Other than that, felt somewhat okay, I’ll give it 0.5 points.

Normandy Swamps Conquest.

The German team was suffering from lack of players once again.

Felt very weird to be fighting in Normandy as British with M1903 and with the Moroccan squad in bathrobes.
0.5 WW2 points.

Game 94.
USA BR2.

Bulge??? Apparently USA and Germany can play on Bulge even with BR 1-2? Since when?

Can’t say I’m a fan of seeing early war stuff like Crusader and Autoblinda in Normandy and Bulge.

But the map plays really well one of my favorites now I think.
Looks beautiful too.

Have to admit this felt really like WW2. GG. Super solid WW2 point.
Just with A13/Crusader and such weren’t there and Pacific frog camo needs to be replaced with warm clothes.


TOTAL WW2 so far: 70.75/94
