⭐ Meet the new Enlisted!

The new Enlisted is here, Commanders! Research trees, campaigns merged into countries, updated matchmaking, improved soldier training mechanism, a new unified currency and tons of other improvements to the game.

Let’s start with a brief overview of what’s changed and how things look now in Enlisted.

PROGRESSION

Now progression takes place within the framework of separate countries, instead of campaigns. Progress is no longer linear, it is represented by a tree where you can choose which branch you want to prioritize.

Choose an interesting direction and all the experience you gain in battles will be used for the research of those new weapons, vehicles and squads.

The researched weapons can be purchased for the new unified currency - Silver. It replaced the bronze and silver orders for soldiers and weapons. The orders on your account have been converted to the new currency.

MATCHMAKING

Enlisted’s new matchmaker has learned to balance battles based on the strength of the opposing sides! The weaponry of each army is divided into battle ratings, and depending on the equipment of your army, the matchmaker tries to find you opponents of similar strength.

Also, based on the equipment you choose, the list of maps available for battle changes.

Your selected country still determines the fronts you can get to and your opponents in battles. So playing as the USA, you could find yourself in Normandy, the Pacific Ocean or Tunisia. And when playing as Germany - near Moscow, Stalingrad, Berlin and also in Normandy and Tunisia.

YOUR ARMY

We have significantly improved the system of upgrading squads and individual soldiers. It has become more simple and easier to understand, while the choice of perks has been expanded.

Soldiers no longer receive perks randomly. You choose which perks are more important and can quickly change them using Silver. At the same time, some perks now have multiple levels of effectiveness.

Soldiers no longer have ranks, only levels: you can raise a soldier from 1 to 5 stars with the experience gained in battles. Higher level means more perk points and a greater choice of perks.

Also note: with the release of the update, the number of squads with the same specialization that can be used simultaneously will not be limited to two, as we previously announced. We want to collect more statistics in the new patch to see if this measure is necessary.

YOUR ACCOUNT

In the new Enlisted, we’ve preserved everything you had before! Your weapons, squads, orders, achievements and currency.

  • Gold spent on additional squad slots and tank camouflage will be refunded to all players within one week. You will be able to reallocate it as you wish in the new country system once it has been credited to your account.
  • The levels of existing squads have been recalculated to reflect the changes. Your squads are still as strong as they were, but now they fit the new Enlisted. Also, after seeing your feedback about some of the weaponry that would have to be researched again, we have taken great care to address this issue: nothing that was previously available has to be researched again if you had it unlocked!
  • Please note: if you unlocked the Pz.III N in the Battle of Stalingrad campaign, you will keep it with its unique configuration. It differs from its research tree counterpart by the absence of spaced armor and it has different ammunition - HEAT shells instead of HE.

You can read more details about the conversion in our devblog series about the new Enlisted.

And now on to the rest of the new features and improvements of this update, Commanders!

Depending on the number of rounds in the magazine, loading is either by clip or by cartridge.

  • Rifles that were the default weapons for new soldiers in old campaigns and are available in the research tree are marked with D (Default) when transferred from the old campaigns to the new system. Having a Default weapon does not unlock it in the research tree, unless that weapon is unlocked by a squad that the player already had. For example, if the “52nd Mixed Engineer Battalion” squad of engineers was unlocked before the update was released, this squad and the Carcano M41 rifle will be unlocked, while for example the Kar98k Kriegsmodell will not be unlocked. These weapons are fully identical to the standard upgradeable version in terms of characteristics, except when sold for Silver.

Why couldn’t you guys have given a bit of a heads up for the expect release date of the merge? I’ve now lost the ability to have 2 early t34s since I was leveling up the Moscow Allies. You also stated your removing some premium squads for the merge update and never put it on sale on the consoles even though you did it for other squads some days ago. Ones which weren’t even getting removed.

Why do I need to pay 3000 silver coins for these things?
I’m 100% sure I’ve used them before and it’s in my inventory
Edit: I just stupidly spent 7500 on a P38. (I already maxing out Normandy)

Bad idea :-1:

Previous plan: two squads of the same type + one premium squad was better.

Seems like the gold refund not working properly for me and others.

Had all slots in every campaign, got 4960 back (equal to 4 slots).

Where the hell is the A-20 from Tunisia with 12 rockets? There was no announcement it would be removed. I was just unlocking levels in Tunisia to be able to fly with it, even bought the premium account to accelerate the research. I’m waiting for the update in which you re-add it. I feel this update wasted my money.
