Necessary improvements to the new Enlisted

Please rework the current BR system! I really think it could work great, but not in the way it is now.

Having players thrown into the deep end the moment the equip a single BR 3 weapon is not going to work out. An entire BR 3 load out would not have a good time against an enemy team of BR 5s, much less a person with just a few BR 3 weapons…

You say its an “equal chance” for BR 3 to end up in BR 1-2 or BR 4-5…but with the majority of the player base in BR 5, that is where they are going to end up the majority of the time.

What you really need to do is rework BR 3…and maybe even create 6 BRs.

First look at BR 3. Look at it and think, “Okay, what is here that will still stay relevant at end game?” Then turn that equipment into BR 4…and possibly bump some stuff currently in BR 4 up to BR 5…then some of BR 5s best stuff into BR 6. (if needed for space)

I am sure it wont be as simple as I just wrote it, but if you manage to do that you will create two solid ques that should be more balanced. BRs 1-3 and BRs 4-6.

Hi there. Did you think of integrating the possibility to create BR sets? So that a player can have different tiers as presets for different BR ratings - that would make it way easier to play. Just like in WT…

This wasn’t even announced. Either a chaotic action that needs a fix (simply return the 12 rocket version to the tree) or a purely unfair move if it was intended. And P-47 is as strong as A-20 if not stronger (It is faster by 200kph in the first place), why remove such a cool plane then? I don’t see any good reason for this.
Personally, I intended to unlock it, and playing Tunisia has been a pleasure for me up until this update that erased my desired machine for no reason.

Please add remove excess soldiers from reserve squads too.

Not sure how anyone is seeing imbalance issues - there used to be - not now. I’m playing br2 and have never had such balance! No spamming so far. People must have their equipment mixed up - stick to one battle rank and you’re fine! I also like how this has encouraged using weapons I’d usually overlook to stay br2 and having more maps in mix is great too.

Not tried br3 yet, but I think there probably does need to be either a +/- 1 battle rank matching system instead, or have 6 ranks - 1&2, 3&4, 5&6.

I knew not to do it, it was obvious that such QoL would appear quickly after the merge.

Here are some ideas and suggestions after the first 10 games of testing the New Enlisted.

  1. Absolutely 100% remove Tiger II, Tiger I and Panther from Stalingrad, as well as STG, AS and such.
    BR 4 and 5 should be just Berlin and Normandy.
    In the future feel free to add more BR 4 maps like idk Vienna, Prague, Konigsberg, Seelow Heights, Ardennes, Hurtgen, whatever.
    Also remove late-war Pz IV J from Stalingrad, it’s just super weird. Automatically change the skin to Pz IV F2 or something.
    Stalingrad should be only until 1942 gear, it’s just too iconic to ruin it like that.
  2. Join Any Team.
    a) Where is the XP bonus? I believe it’s fair that I get some incentive to participate in an unknown battle in order to improve match balance.
    b) I strongly believe that Join Any Team matches should not be uptiers. The very purpose of it is to make the most balance match BR-wise by agreeing to be put in any of the four factions.
  3. PPS-42/43 both feels weird to see in Stalingrad and is not really balanced with German SMG options of the same BR 3: (Beretta M1918, FNAB-43 - also a weird one for Stalingrad).
    Please revise this.
  4. Future maps and gear links.
    I propose the following tentative plan:
    BR 1-2: Rural USSR (ex-Moscow), Stalingrad
    BR 3: Kursk, Bagration
    BR 4: Berlin
    BR 5 (separate from the normal BRs, without downtier): Operation Unthinkable (i.e. all the fantasy stuff like AS, RPD, MG-45, STG-45, etc.)

Didn’t you see the memes about why Merge is not coming? It was our fault there was threads saying we need merge right away

Really? srry we broke nad messed up the game and turned it into something else!
WE know you grinded hard and long for all those squads, equipping and customizing them to fit their appropriate campaigns and having fond memories of them.
Now they are useless cause we broke the game and made it something else so now here you go now you can sell all those squads! yay!
bu… but i liked my Squads as they were and liked the idea of different squads that went with their respective campaings?
Anyway that just pisses me in two ways.
How about just cancel the game altogether?
cause you have ruined Enlisted completely, it’s another game and I don’t like any of it.
Like said before this is CoD with WT matchmaking.
I liked Enlisted, that had different campaings with their time appropriate Squads, weapons and vehicles and had the immersion of that there campaing with what they had there and then, that’s the game and the feel i loved about Enlisted.
This is not Enlisted, this is a completely different game altogether, one that does not care for historical immersion, now it’s just another arcade fps that doesn’t give two shits about history
just sad

I have bunch of squads and if they have a gun research in common if I progress one it progress on the other squad so it should not be a problem

Upgrades of the M2 are tied to the tech tree rifleman 3 squad, same with the drum thompson, they’re tied to the tech tree assaulter 4 squad, so just unlock them and you’ll instantly get your upgrades back

They should make so that defenders have 1 min before the attackers spawn to fortify objective

That is a complete straw man.

I love that this game has a such a large and varied array of content. As I famously say everything and anything from the famous, well known, and mass produced to the rare, prototype, and experimental.

However my philosophy is about maintaining integrity and standards. If it’s a prototype from 1945 I don’t want to see it any earlier. If it’s a prototype from 1942 I only want to see it in those maps such as the Dicker Max. I have no problem with it in Stalingrad but I don’t want to see it in Normandy or Berlin. And I don’t care about Italian paratroopers as long as they’re not dropping in Normandy or Berlin

I don’t think anyone, myself included, has ever said they should remove certain whatever’s from the game for the sake of authenticity. Obviously I know Germany didn’t have Panzers right on the beaches of Normandy. Or German bombing runs defending the Reichstag

But the core of the gameplay is every side no matter what has 2 tanks and 2 planes. No one has any problems with this

Personally I never drop right on top of the objective. That’s a good way to get wiped if you’re unlucky

I’ve thought they should make the plane spawn further back so it takes longer to drop so it makes it a true decision of whether you wait to drop or spawn on the ground

I genuinely think this is good because now soldiers 3s and 2s are more valuable than 1s since they get more perk points and it allows you to spend 6 points without worrying and get the perks you want in the old system I never bothered using soldier 2 or 3 since they were costly to upgrade

You either roll this idiot stupid ‘‘update’’ of game back and make it Enlisted again, improving it with a overall Tech Tree for each separate NATION that allows you to unlock vehicles and weapons for all campaings (that had them)
OR
You completely delete Enlisted and make a NEW game with you ‘‘new and updated’’ Enlisted.
For now you have an akward shit game with is made for a new another game but with leftovers of old system that makes it itno jsut a cesspool of wtf.dot confused

agreed

yes this was promised and there needs to be additional layer for side balancing. if we get 5-10% of players in join any queue you can have 1:1 matches.

The A-20 with rockets is still in game

This is inadequate.

BR should be displayed for EVERY SQUAD on EVERY SCREEN, and it should change dynamically if weaponry is changed.
