Greetings, commanders! We keep working on the major Enlisted update and now we are ready to present you the planned levels of weapons and vehicles.
The levels show the order of progression for each country, as well as the position of the weapons in them, which determines their balance value. Matchmaking will try to assemble battles from players with weapons close in level if there are enough people in the queue. We talked more about the new progression in a separate blog.
PLANNED LEVELS
Here are the preliminary tables which could still change based on your feedback and suggestions.
Weapons will be divided into 10 ranks. Progression will be horizontal. We took your feedback into account and added balance values to equipment: grenades, mines, and even pouches. We also have plans to expand these trees. Firstly, where they lack density and competitiveness, such as in Japan.
Why aren’t Italy and Great Britain separate? I saw many people say that the introduction of country-based tech trees instead of campaign-based linear progression would allow to introduce minor nations, yet we see Italian and British equipment in German and US trees respectively.
It doesn’t make sense for a semi-automatic rifle to be on high tier. If semi-automatic rifles are lined up to tier 9 to be rationalized, the bullet spread will need to be normalized.
I feel like Early Semi Automatics like the Garand and the Gewehr 43 are way to high up.
Since the bolt action Buff Semis are comparable in effectivness to good Bolt actions, better at short ranges, worse long. Having them only two levels apart from the High tier Select fire rifles makes no sense, since they outclass them in every way.
I would suggest putting Semis roughly in tier 6, that way there is also alot more possible options beside bolt action or Select fire weapon
This is too good nice job i very love this, expecially the BR on the side equipment nice choice for limit granade spam in high tier, because you guys ask feedback i want give mine
enginer need swapped with sniper and be lv1 because sniper get semi-auto at lv2
in the sheet there is no information about event reward
10 BR are too much, most of the equipment between lv 1-5 is not so different in performance from each other
its not understood if now even the squad type count in the BR
Overall I like the tech tree, my only gripe is the lack of tank-destroyers like the Panzer 4/70 (it is my fav tank ) But at least we will get to keep it even if it can no longer be researched. Will you release a a chart with the premiums and no-longer-obtainable tanks/guns so we can see how they will be balanced?
MP 3008 at tier 2. Tier 2 end of war weapon.
PPS 42 too…
Sd. Kfz.234/2 too low…
I understand that you want to balance the game, but you listen to those who don’t pay more often than those who pay.
This BR tree was arranged for you by some former BF2042 designer?
And seriously. In order to achieve balance, sick balance, weapons from the middle or end of the war go to a low tier. You’re going in the usual pattern straight from AAA games at the expense of historical correctness, and yet the loose people want this historical correctness and realism.
In WT, it works that mid-war vehicles fight with interwar vehicles due to armor and firepower.
Looking at this table, if in the future the game comes out after World War 2, modern weapons will be at tier 10 or 11.
Personally, I will be repelled by the vision of Germans running with MP3008 in the Moscow campaign or German airborne assaults during the defense of Berlin.
Will tier 1 weapons have the same damage as tier 10 weapons if they use the same type of ammo?
