I don't like what happened to the game after parachuting was introduced

The game after the last update went even more towards arcade and less realistic.
The parachutists falling on the heads of opponents are still something I can digest. But the fact that the plane appears almost over the battlefield and there is no way or even time to intercept it is stupid.
I like to play this game, I like to spend money to have premium account, premium battlepass and unique units.
But the game is moving towards BF, CoD or other arcade shooters, and I started playing it because it was a balance between walking simulators like HLL or Squad and arcade paintballs like AAA titles like CoD or BF.

How do you like the direction the game is taking?

I think the direction this game is taking is the IDGAF about what you think give me your money direction. Stop spending money on this game they only care about the money, not you. They could care less how Arcady or historically inaccurate / p2w, or removal of paid purchases gets.

I also was hooked by fast yet realistic shooter (among other things).

But it went kind of meh.
Still a good game, but not one I wanted.

I agree, there should be a greater risk for the rewards of a successful paratrooper landing.

They should increase the time from when the plane appears on the map to the time it arrives over the drop location.

i like paras, but they are too convenient.

there should be some sort of cooldown or delay between the flight and the destination point.

at least imo.

i enjoy para squads since it makes some of the unbearable maps more enjoyable to actually play on

Yes, they need fly 20 seconds like arty bomberos, but whitout aim assistance, less possibility for being destroy by AA, but easy Target for a fighter

yes, the time window to shot down the plane or the troopers is TOO DAMN SMALL.

“b-but muh planes in the air and aa gun”

→ typical idiot answer from people who cant set up a resource equation for both teams to see that the defending team loses more resources trying to defend from troopers than they gain from in most game situations.

they need to be made slower so people can interact, especially bolt/snipe them down.

I have a lot of premium units. And calling them p2w is greatly exaggerated. You don’t want to, then don’t pay. You play for free because I pay.

Yea, TBH the premium squads fall behind a well developed and concentrated free squad. Free squads eventually outperform and outnumber premiums. Premiums are just a unique squad with a quicker availability in upgraded troops and guns.

I think they could make the plane spawn like a bombing run but with a shorter distance so they’d still be viable and it gives the enemies a chance to shoot them down

How do you feel about if they could drop in gray zones?

Why the conplains?! You are not happy because you cant come here making fun of airborne cause “ i DidN’t HaVe ThE TiMe tO PrEpARe” . The plane doesn’t drop bombs, just soldiers and you have time to shoot them before they land, its possible. But of course if you are not aware of your surroundings then its on you.
What do you want ?! Take off from america ?! Lol its super fine the way it is.

I had a match in the Pacific a few days ago and when I was defending the point I noticed Paras dropping not too far from me and I was ready for the fight but my team cleaned them up

Let’s see:
CONS

  • Fused campaigns, meaning no more choices of maps.
  • Anything usable anywhere (pro or con depending from opinion) meaning weird, custom battle like scenario.
  • restricted br, which means completely removed sense of progression as everyone will use same stuff. Mostly, no more surprises, no more “wow that’s impressive”. No variety in match.
  • new currency system, that I bet will be detrimental to the player.
  • removal of many, many squad slots.
  • new premium squads, are p2w. (P2w = something obtained only with money that is better than all free variations.)
  • Nothing to help newcomers at all. I, a veteran, will slaughter them if I use entry lvl equipment.
  • no immersion (important for many). Moroccan warriors in Normandy, etc.

PRO

  • combined tech tree, so no need to unlock same weapon multiple times.

But you know, it’s what the community wanted. Supposedly, the majority… everything else is supposed to come with “baby steps”.

I agree that I don’t like this battle rating system. I love the chaos sandbox this game has. It’s cool to see Stuarts and Tigers in a single match because every vehicle has its role and purpose.

A good thing is that theoretically we should be able to have more toys in “campaigns” like Pumas in Berlin or King Tigers in Normandy.

All I know is they definitely have to work on this system overtime. We just have to roll with the first punch from the update and be patient

Like I said, mixed weaponry might be a pro or a con depending on opinion.

I myself am on the fence about it.

The equipment br, however, is not made for Enlisted. It works in WT, because there’s only ONE variable per player, at all times:

The vehicle you use.

Which makes it easy to balance, such system works. In Enlisted, you have:

Multiple characters, different weapons, different SECONDARY weapons, different backpacks, different equipment in said backpacks, different mines, different melee items.
Then add vehicles to this, controlled by squads also subject to equipment br values.
Then, p2w premiums: is a squad with 5lmg worth same br as a squad with 3 maximum?

Then actual faction balance. Is a pz3j supposed to be same br as a t34?

Players used their freedom of choice, to compensate their faction’s or playing style weaknesses using appropriate equipment, while still being able to use low tier things.

It was fun.

The only ppl actively supporting equipment br matchmaker I’ve seen, are divided in 2 categories:

  • hypocrites already min/maxing EVERY squad with the most powerful end game equipment they can and spam them, like 3 assaulters squads plus 2-3 lmgs squads and end game tanks
  • those who just want to DESTROY newcomers, who know that all they have to do is equip low br things to do just that (like in war thunder).

One thing is for sure that the update is gonna break the mold, but I’m sure it will be overhauled further. Heck I even view it as just another step. I bet in a few months there will be a “new” new system or the system will look completely different than what it will now. We just have to wait

The great thing about this game is that it is always evolving and growing little by little.

They can be shot down, I did so this monring

They can also friendly fire shotted down i think, because i fired at an ally paratroopers plane in pacific and get hitmarker

I will admit I was double checking the L2D as I approached it, once I saw the Meatball I opened up …

No Aim point, but it was not necessary, be nice If no planes had hit points
