Enlisted has one of worst new player experiences

Suggestions
1

I am new to this game, and it is one of worse new player experiences I have even had.

What is bad about it? Well all of it, atm it’s a heap of shit.

If Enlist wants to keep more plays it needs to change things, I am going to list a few of my major problems that have nearly stopped made me quit this game within first 8 hours of playing. Be free to ad other improvements but I need to rant.

First I like this game, it could be great but it isn’t atm.

Issue 1.

BR: the power different between new players and the br (2) I can face is too large of a gap. Most of the other issues I have with this game all come back to this massive issue.

Fix:

BR1 should ONLY be able to find matches with other BR1 games. The power difference between br1 and br2 is too great. Remember BR 1 is new players, you want them to stay and grow your game. Not scare them away.

As a new BR 1 player with (5~8hr) I don’t have the tools to win a game against br 2.

I face people with flamethrowers, grande launcher, Good smgs, Good rifles, Good AT, Engineers, squads full of kitted soldiers, KV-1 (IE tanks I don’t have a hope to kill). This shit is stupid, GIVE ME SOMEHTING TO FIGHT BACK that’s not a single bolt action rifle

Issue 2.

CAS needs a tutorial to help with bombing. ATM I still have no idea where to drop bombs.

A fix would to have a training ground with a bombing redical (cross-hair) so I can learn where to drop the bombs.

This will help with issue one, to dealt with tanks that are higher tier then what my soldier can deal with.

Issues 3.

I already know the answer to this question but “Why cant I have plane and tank squads”? – this is the funest stuff and at low teir my AT-Squad isn’t worth taking to battle. Why not let players enjoy the fun toys they have. I really only am playing for the tanks and Planes atm.

Issue 4:

Call in art spam – As a level 1 player this shit feels soo unfair.

Issue 5:

Research too slow – This really matters with the current BR system. I need to unlock better AT, better smg and well everything……. BR2 weapons are too strong.

Plus I have to unlock like 9 bolt action rifles – that sure is fun and rewarding to do…………. (They are all the fucking same)

Issue 6.

The planes have the worse controls, they have been over simplified for consoles and are now just terrible. Just look at war thunder and bring that over…. Come on this is currently bad. It ruins the feeling of flight a plane.

Issue 7.

Equip all squad members please!! What’s the point of a SQUAD if there is only one sniper rifle or one AT rifle or one SMG. Have it a 4 man squad with 2 At/sniper rifles by default.

Issue 8.

M13 MGMC is perfect in ever way. Do not nerf it’s the only way I can influence the match into a win.

M13 MGMC, My beloved.

Summary:

Change BR 1 so it can only face BR1. This will solve most problems atm.

Everything is broken right now so you’re better off playing lone fighters until things are fixed and you can get decent XP there and not have to play the misery which is public matches and at least in that custom game you’re rewarded for your actions

god no, playing lone fighter as a new player is even more pain.
There is no BR restriction, so a lot of you enemies are going to charge at you with assault rifles and even more unkillable tanks.
And I’d assume that the average skill level there is also a lot higher than in random BR1-2-3 matches as well.

Lots of new players play there for some reason and there are lots of people flying so he can just sit in his M13 and start shooting down a bunch of planes to get a bunch of free kills and it’s not too heavily focused on taking the objectives since its lone fighter

Lol, if you think there is too much difference between br1 and br2, don’t want to play on br3 and get paired with br5

I just finished a match game. Got raped by two tanks, couldnt hurt them. AT rifle did nothing cant penetraet, they just drive away from at grande…

I think that was it, this game is not worth my time, not worth trying to fix, and not worth checking again. If someone ask I will tell them not to play it, because that was my experience. One of the unbalanced, and shit games i have played.

I posted the original 22mins ago…

Even if it were exclusively br1 vs br1, there would be SMURF accounts killing you, as happens in 90% of free games.

You’re going to have to learn to play by dying or looking at guides on the internet or asking here.

Crying is not an option to improve.

Lol, that’s funny. Because in fact, you will be constantly facing BR3, not just BR2.

There’s a lot of whinging about “problems” that are in every game, I’ve been playing this game for a long time from Australia with 220+ ping, have a cry. if these are your primary concerns go play a AAA game like a sheep

You gotta cook AT grenades. Learn how long the timer is so you don’t explode with it. I usually count to six, then throw.

Alternatively, buy some TNT packs and climb on top.

So, the issue here isn’t that you’re facing BR2 weapons, but BR3. Most of these issues come from BR3 being placed into BR1-2 games. A lot would be fixed if the game went with a +/-1 BR matchmaking system instead, with BR brackets of [1-2][2-3][3-4][4-5].

I’m gonna give you some advice right now too, just don’t advance beyond BR2 once you get there. There is no point in advancing as things are until you have a solid BR5 loudout

I’m a bit late, here is some of my respond with some of OP issue

  1. I agree new player being stomped higher BR is terrible, BR1 should not go up against BR3 player, BR2 are fine for the most part.

  2. Instead of tutorial experiment and learn, you have practice range go there and experiment. I initially struggle dive bombing, but through learning and a bit experimenting I got better at it. Plus not all aircraft behave the same.

  3. You can have tank and plane squad at the same time, is just that it is behind premium account which you have to pay gold for.

  4. You’ll get your artillery later, it something new player can look out for

  5. That I won’t deny

  6. I personally think it fine, enlisted use War Thunder older flight model I think, could be why it feel less refined

  7. So the squad is has a purpose instead of jack of all trade, do the thing it excel at

  8. That isn’t even an issue

All in all, whilst some point are valid, some are unwillingness to learn.

But Enlisted has always been terrible at making new player experience enjoyable past and present.

I can partially agree with the OP.
When I started playing the game, I only had an M1903 and a bunch of people with StG44s attacked me. It was truly the worst gaming experience I could think of.
I should have uninstalled the game right then and there, but I wanted revenge on those morons with the StG44 and that was my motivation to continue playing the game. Well, this kind of motivation is a rare case.
Most smart players would not continue the game just to feel bad.
Now with the introduction of BR, the game experience for beginners is a little better, but it is still hard for a BR1 beginner to face a player who knows the game inside out or a BR3 player.
Warthunder, World of tanks, World of warship…games that have gained a large player base in f2P have a PVE mode.
Many beginners learn the basics of fighting in PVE, get used to the game, gain confidence, and then move on to PVP, but this game does not have those basic features.
Even if a rich PVE mode cannot be implemented right away, a game mode like a custom game bot match should be placed in the main lobby. And turn off the experience subtraction factor while the rank in the game is low.

I agree with your opinion
I think the revenue of this game is lower than War Thunder
Although I got a lot of silver coins after the merger, I am now on the verge of bankruptcy and everything costs money. It’s too bad.
I have Premium Squads, and I bought Soviet Paratroopers, but they bring little additional benefit, at least with War Thunder my income from using Premium Vehicles will increase significantly

If the purpose of their merger is to make money, then I really have to doubt the future of this game.

really? i remember you in berlin axis during the pre merge and you seem to have mid game equipment i didnt know you were new

well tbh i only remember seeing your name a lot that all tbh

The last game I finished grind was the Axis of Berlin.
I started the game with the US in Normandy first, then grind both sides of Stalingrad, the UK in Tunisia, the US in the Pacific.
By the time I was playing Berlin, I had several factions that I grind to the maximum.

19

hmm ok i didnt finish any faction but i did get most to mid game equipment

20

I don’t understand what you are questioning :man_shrugging:

21

me too i dont understand why i did that i guess i was just curious

22

Right after I started the game with the Allied faction in Normandy, my squad only had M1903s. No Thompson or Garland as initial equipment, as many newbies do.
Few players were playing Allies in Normandy at the time, and then Germany was full of advanced players with StG44s.
Moreover, this topic has nothing to do with the thread.
Can you please stop poking around where it makes no sense in the future?
