How enlisted could have been worse

Rifles with bayonets could have been a separate class of weapon like rifle with grenade launcher. Ammo would have to be bought with silver like world of tanks. We could be limited to two factions/tech trees Axis and Allies. Include you’re suggestions for how the game could have been worse than it is.

the only way enlisted could become worse, is if:

  • you had to repair your stuff like heroes and generals or war thunder,

  • all maps regardless of the faction ( germans attacking from the beaches, or japan invading moscow )

  • no br and forced to be based on campaign ( like pre-merge )
    sure you had a choice, but it wasn’t balanced ( nor historically accurate as some people seem to believe ). it just wasn’t sustainable either

  • no customs

  • no stackable xp

  • ultra soldiers with 40 points in each category

  • pay to win premium squads

so… on that regard we are somewhat " saved ".
i wonder for how long though.

given how the bp was treated, nothing is safe.

shhhh shut up dont give DF more ideas of how screwing even more the f2p player base

Repair fee itself isn’t a bad mechanism
Wether it preform good or bad is depend on the ratio
No one will refuse higher income factor + repair fee if that create better overall income.

Lone fighter custom matches be like

well, over custom matches is fine.

because not many players would join otherwise.

over the base game? on the other hand, not so much.

I wish they hadn’t moved lone fighters to custom matches section tbh. It would have been great if lone fighters was presented as a choice next to squads in the main screen when players pressed the play button. This way all the historical features of the normal squads mode could have been preserved for lone fighters as well and it would have been far more popular

well…
that kinda was the primary main reason why it was moved to customs.
as it wasn’t popular and not many people played that.

even now, with the options of making full historical settings no one actually hosts them.

because that would mean precluding 2 of the 4 factions.

hence, not many players would be able to join form the already limited amount.
( since, it’s worthed to mention that the main appeal are bots. )

p.s. i did liked and played LF.
i also make LF PVEs small operations :slight_smile: ( well… planning to )

Enlisted could have been worse if they had abandoned historical facts and timelines regarding tech.Oh, wait, they already did that. What if they placed soldiers outfitted for the desert in Stalingrad. Oh, wait they already did that. What if they had put snipers in ice cream salesman outfits? Oh wait, they already did that. What if they made team fortress 2 like maps? Oh wait… well it could have been worse. There is still time. Hey we could have gotten a water bottle event or shovels, but the shovels are all taken by the devs, as they appear to be digging some holes.

No WW2 game is historically accurate, Germany goes from dominating the war to loosing it. Germany goes from having an Air Force to almost not having one. The US would be the only one to have most soldiers with semi auto and shotguns. Heavy tanks would be outnumbered by medium tanks. Sorry but an accurate WW2 game would have one side loosing before the battle began. Accurate is not WW2 factions with accurate tech but unlimited resources. Sorry but no one want to play you fantasy game of the thousand year Reich.

Sorry but no one wants to play a mutilated ww2 game either. There are plenty of ways to make it even, none were chosen.

I think it is possible to move further than WW2 and not be awful, it would just require drastic changes to gameplay. That is the key part which I don’t think will happen or be implemented well, however there is nothing preventing expanding further backwards. Additional WW1 content would not present the same issues as post-WW2 content, as long as it is balanced properly, so that might be a possibility.

Post-WW2 content means not just weapons, but vehicles as well. I won’t speculate on which vehicles devs might choose to add, but most any post-WW2 planes/tanks would just make HE spam even more unbearable on the already small maps.
Any larger tanks than what we currently have wouldn’t fit through choke points and would get stuck frequently without map reworks, and jets’ usefulness would be limited by their high speed being confined to the relatively small map size and play area in my opinion

Sorry but giving Germany all the good toys does not work either, the US use the weapons it had because it was good enough to beat Germany, Germany made 500 k sa rifle a little more than the number of ars. The us made 5 million garands no one wants to play real WW2 with Germany limited to bolties fighting American Garands. How do you make it even how do you balance German cats with the player base we have. German SF. Rifles and Assault rifles without prototype weapons. And no with 4 squad slots to free players planes is not a balance to German cats.

No one gave Germany all the good toys. They made them. It was someones choice to deploy them in this game without effective historical counter options.

There are different way to solve this, imo the fastest is improving costum lobby with:

  • BR/gamemode/faction/equipment and map filter, to let player create their own battle

  • adding more game mode from smaller one with 4 player’s to bigger one with 50 and more players

  • and once this is done is sufficient make the normal squad mode just a sandbox battle where all players can fight with any faction against any faction on any map

Everyone would be satisfied because everyone can play as they want

Wonderful ideas. I think most of us hope for the best in this game. My position has always been more maps, big maps. The Burma map was far too small. Moscow and Tunisia are still some of my favorites. The care taken in the sand and snowstorms, the spawn points and such were done well. We need so many more maps.

Yes they made them in artisan numbers while America made them in industrial numbers. You can go history we get all these great toys then turn around and ignore the parts you don’t like. You can have a tiger, a tiger when America gets at least four Sherman’s.
