No doubt ill be targeted for speaking facts. The pill everyone wants to take but cant swallow is the truth.
Enlisted prides itself on being somewhat historically immersive shooter, offering players the chance to experience World War II from multiple perspectives. However, there are inconsistencies in how historical representation is handled. While some factions had branches —like the Waffen-SS—are present, the game restricts other groups or nations, either omitting them entirely or making them difficult to access.
Historical Accuracy Should Be a Choice
I have no issue with the inclusion of Waffen-SS units or historically accurate insignias. These are part of history, and players should be given the option to experience the game as authentically as possible. However, this level of authenticity should apply across the board. If players want to play as lesser-known factions or controversial groups from the war, that should be a toggleable option, not an arbitrary exclusion.
Expanding Factions with a Simple System
Instead of limiting faction choices, Enlisted should allow players to toggle different groups on or off based on personal preference. This could work in a few ways:
1. Faction Selection – Players should be able to pick from a broader range of nations with the flip of a switch. Minor factions that participated in WWII—even in a limited capacity—should be available without unnecessary restrictions.
2. Insignia and Unit Customization – Allow players to decide whether they want full historical accuracy (including uniforms and insignias) or a more sanitized version of the game.
3. Balanced Representation – If the game includes controversial factions like the SS, then excluding other groups (such as resistance fighters or lesser-known armies) creates an inconsistency. Either go all in on history or allow players to curate their experience.
Why This Matters:
A game that claims to be a little historically accurate should either commit fully to that goal or give players the tools to shape their own experience. Right now, Enlisted applies historical accuracy selectively, which leads to unnecessary debates and frustrations within the community. A simple toggle system would allow players to engage with history in a way that suits their personal comfort and interest levels, making the game more inclusive without erasing its core identity.
At the end of the day, WWII was a global conflict with many moving parts. Enlisted has the opportunity to do something few other shooters have—give players a full picture of history while letting them choose how deep they want to go.
STOP Hating axis powers because if history. Stop restricting historically accuracy. Give it as an option in game. PEOPLE CAN CHOOSE TO SEE INSIGNIA AND WHAT EVER ELSE.
The people who cry about it can always pick no. Not very difficult. Dont be playing God. Cos your not.
As for Ireland dont belive what everyone tells you. Keep smart comments to yourself. Already been shut down twice. Theirs SS in game so can Irish. All other lesser nations involved whether Allies or Axis should be involved with an option to choose them. Fix the game. Do your part. Allow us to choose the nations involved. To have insignias in all factions. Stop tryna keep me from getting my points across. Fix the system. The courrupted system against Axis powers. Against lesser nations. Compensate us properly for your silly mstakes. Last bu not least have an absoluley great dayy. Thanks for understanding.
its the small little details have a big impact yano what i mean.
