I live in a shithole country in southeast asia. I saw ads for Enlisted, played the game, and really liked my experience. Only after I bought the Battle Pass did I stop to think: wait, what’s my latency again?
A couple google searches later, a ctrl+shift+n, and I find out my ping averages around 200-240 ms. My potato aim aside, I just have to accept that I am at a distinct disadvantage in head-to-head firefights.
So I spend most of my games as an engineer setting up rally points, AA guns, and AT guns. Tanks and aircraft work surprisingly well, considering the combat relies more on careful planning than hair-trigger reflexes. I plan to mix in a mortar team into my infantry when i unlock it.
Any other recommended roles for high-ping players such as myself?

not necessary. I play with 200 ping minimum and still clean up with any weapon. For high pings its not a bad FPS at all.
if you have potato AIM get a machine gun of some type, and learn good bi pod spots. (ie covering the enemies reinforcement approach to objectives. Its a turkey shoot)

Huh. That is strange. The only way I can reliably score kills is if I catch my opponents unawares. In a rifle duel or head-to-head assault, my enemies seem to always know where I am ahead of time.
I’ll give auto weapons a try when i unlock the gunner class. in the meantime, allied assault in normandy campaign has this low ROF smg which I can experiment with
Well there’s the other thing. There are other ways to be aware of where people are without seeing them, so ping doesn’t matter.
You can hear the shuffling movement when people are close, you can see foot prints etc etc. Most of the time I knew someone was there before I saw them. And Once you locate where One guy is you know the rest of the squad is in that vicinity.
you use these to get the drop on them

I have 220-300 ping and regularly top the score board with every class so it’s not that bad lag wise. The only places I’ve had lag problems is if someone runs around a corner (if I run around corners I get a advantage from high ping) and with aiming at a moving tank the hit point will be behind where I aim.
it’s sad to hear many people with this experience…
perhaps instead of adding prem squads, microtransactions, and all those ads/ action movie, would have been better an entire server for those areas of the world that enlisted current server does not reach.
speaking for Oceania and Asia.
i really hope for the devs that it’s just matter of time.
cheers.
Like hte others say - not really a problem - I’m in New Zealand - 200 ping minimum to anywhere - dont’ often win but consider myself pretty competitive playing all roles.
LOL, currently, there’s a bug that shows East Asia Server option. But devs insist on not adding new servers to this game. Also, I still notice being send to wrong servers. Like I saw same players in previous matches in EEU now being send to NA server. Also, with high ping, main menu interaction can get laggy or even warnings. With high pings, this game can give me tons of new bugs.
They just dont care network problems.
