When I had a first look at the upcoming class “Guerrilla” I can’ t say I was not excited. You know, this topic is in fact well known in the middle/east Europe - Polish “Armia Krajowa”, Tito’s “partisans” in Yugoslavia, Slovak SNP, Soviet partisans, or in these days a little bit controversial UPA - ukrainians partisans and much more - every country had its own resistance. But then I had a second look at this class. And to be honest I wanted to break my monitor. I saw- and I still see two major problems - historical accuracy and gameplay.
-
Historical accuracy. To be honest, I am one of the players who “cry for historical accuracy”. Well, if the game promote itself as a historical accurate game, then it should be accurate. Thats my opinion. On the other hand, I can still go through BR IV-V in Stalingrad or Rzhev, event tho I hate bastardization of WW2. BUT. German Volkssturm rushing
around Tunisia or Rzhev is a bit too much. Hovewer, solution for this problem is relatively simple. Just give those partisans regular uniforms when needed. Soviet partisans in Berlin-regular Red army uniform.and same with Volkssturm squad and we will pretend they are some reconaissance units. And it will be ok. More-less. But at least acceptable. -
Gameplay. Although its problem no.2 it is much bigger issue than the first one. I guess its because misunderstanding of the concept of guerrilla. These fighters almost never faced regular front units in face to face combat. Their tactics was abush and fast retreat. Instead, now we have 4 member Rambo squads, with basicly unlimited ammo. And the second “subproblem” with gameplay is obvious. I will show you with little mathematical equation - Premium patrisans + event partisans + tech tree partisans = whole team in grayzone + chaos. And nobody in objective. They are basicly ruining gameplay. I dont know, if devs really want this situation to happen, just delete objectives and just make deadmatch gamemode. And it will become total shit, like Battlefield. When I was reading forum, I realised many skilled and experienced players have the same opinion, and they even consider quiting the game. There are just two solutions for this problem. Deleting the whole Guerrilla class. Or locking it behind the paywall. Just premium and event squads. And thats the right options. I already see angry comments od “FPS” players. Man. If your want this class, spend your money or gain 20 000 score in 2 days(You’re F2P, you love events) . We already had this situation with rocker arty. Many players complained because it was overpowered. But because of paywall, it hadn’t ruined the gameplay. And now we have guerrilla. Squad with even bigger potential to ruin the gameplay (the biggest one, and I have played Enlisted for a few years) than rocket arty. I suppose my message is clear. If your have same opinion, please reply, or give other ideas. Maybe the devs will hear us out.
P.S. I reused some posts from forum so please dont sue me.
