Enough of this balance talk, think about what you're asking for

I love this game, for reasons (off topic).

One narrative I’d like to address is the symmetrical balance one. That all things should be equal, fair, basically politically correct in a moba sense.

As a noob, I too wanted this thing. My one star gun on my one star squad got slaughtered. A lot. How am I getting shot through walls (20mm thru wood), randomly dying (lonely mortar), spawn killed (popping out at a player spawn in the front), squad killed by svt zaps (it still happens)? Oh it’s not fair! I bemoaned. And what a crock of sht it, and I, was.

  1. You are in a world war simulation. You SHOULD bleed and die a lot. Your adrenaline doesn’t come from pwning 150 botmans a match, it comes from avoiding shrapnel for the 150th time and killing one human ace. War is brutal.

  2. The world is unbalanced. However rich or poor you are, there are far richer and poorer. Same goes in war. A machinegun orphans 200 families, while your best trained pilot is shot before a single kill by a stray trigger happy bot.

So I was a balance whiner. Don’t hop in that boring bandwagon. It really can drive revenue into the company which is the only legitimate reason to support it. But don’t you have enough souless fps mobas already? The only difference is your gun is named something old but they all behave the same. “Nerf the dets, nerf the AA” sounds good until you use your brain.

Instead of letting this game turn into cod, bf, or wtf with symmetry; or WT and WoT with p2w lootbox mania, demand brutal assymmetical balance.

I’m not saying one side should be op to the point nobody plays. Instead, a side gets accurate or exaggerated strengths in fewer areas that are effectively unique. Russia with endless respawns, Germany with legendary armour, etc. You will have to learn to survive instead of wait for your next spoonfed lootbox in the sandbox environment.

Because, grow up, and keep fighting. One star becomes two, and things get better. Not much. But that’s when you’ll actually get hooked on the niche Enlisted is trying to exploit here. And though we are doing ‘recreation’, remember what this war represents. We remember those who died and survived brutal ordeals. Nobody cares/d about those wailing for fairness.

And yes, I am a f2p player (sorry Gaijin) who enjoys the merciless uphill DDay battle on the Allied side.

Good speech. You should have been a general in another life.

I bet you was born with a mustache!

Lol, my father had an uncanny Stalin moustache. The best moments were in Beloe Lake taunting the Nazis as we slaughtered them, mocking them, for the love of the fatherland! And all the inappropriate communist jokes.

The German bots were not amused.

hard kill - YouTube 7.62 thru Stone works to at times if youre a bot :wink: but think ive managed to shot someone asw thru thick walls but could be something they missed to fill up within the codes or it bypasses it at times. Could been an ricochet to

It could be a bug, ricohet, or botvengance lol. Game’s still in Early I guess :grin:

yeah its alright for being in development and no biggie since i know that they dont want the AI to be utterly useless ^^ Usually i can recognize if its an player made shot or not but even then theres other factors involved

Upon reexamination I think it’s a POV issue. You see yourself left of your rifle, when you may be more on top of it. Maybe that happens to achieve straighter shots (you don’t have to correct your line of sight like on a real rifle). Hence, due to this correction, you were shot thru your right eye, when in your POV your head is safe. Then the game has to correct to make it look real a draws the bullet animation thru the wall.

I am totally guessing though so tell me if I’m wrong.

pretty sure im in hard cover there. Ive seen them shooting me thru bunker walls at times to. Pretty rare but do happens. But there are other times you get killed by someone else that are shown to of which you have to type of forensic CSI contemplate within yourself what rly happened

I am no fps connoisseur but Enlisted seems to have the best bots I’ve ever come across. They are not just killing you, but TRYING to kill you (except when they snap around a spot you in cover, dangit), and that try makes it feel like the level higher.

I love these speeches

Ya, seems so. Notice how movement and LOS gets weird when you’re on the ground? Maybe the system needs a deep rework. For instance, you couldn’t literally go prone in that space, but you could stand on the stairs and lean out of the lower side of the window. That is probably a sht ton of complicated coding.

@34503810 suggested I could be a General but I am far too general for that.

yes I know but keep in mind that some nerfs that the community ask for makes sense, although it may not seem like it, this community cares a lot about its new players and non-premium players.

True they could need some tweaks here and there but its no picknick either. They are some cheaters for sure on and off but with some slight social engineering to them about “realistic” ballistics, how to stand positions and not move around as they cant stand still for 5 min and code of conduct for online gaming sportmanship and i think they are set

Yeah. It might be helped with a wider player base. But I wouldn’t want with to turn into WT on Foot, with tiers so rigid most of the content cannot be experienced for regular players.

One thing I’d ask for is expanding the map so that tanks et al. cannot camp in the game wall for the opp and snipe without danger of counterattack.

16

To counter cheating I’d go for a fully accessible game recording from all POVs to ascertain cheating, but also perhaps as a way to check put and learn others’ strategies. This belief that your snipe spots or tactics are proprietary secrets is weird to me.

Code of conduct, yeah that just goes with the times and whatever people want.

If that’s exactly what I ask, also improve the movements of the soldiers so they don’t look like they’re made of jelly, put an end to the bunnyhoop, improve the campaigns of the axis faction, not in the field of whether something is OP or not, if not the field that does not sit a copy and paste.

Agree word by word.
Obsession with balance will destroy the game, and it is also unmotivated, there are like billions of factors that can affect a match

The made circling bots and twitching zombie corpses, haha.

How would you improve the campaigns? I never really thought about it. They’re not really campaigns in the computer game sense, and lack story. Maybe it’s all a placeholder for potential game dev, dunno.

No, I mean the weapons, like every campaign of the axis faction, the rewards are the same, that’s why I proposed to add new squads from other allied nations of the axis, to refresh the axis faction.
