What I like is destroying the infantry with a tank (number of skulls after each HE shoot), but also that I can freely choose every soldier for every squad, give him weapon and granade.
I do enjoy the unit control of my squads, and the amount of items I can equipt. Engineer building is fun, and flying is just as much so. I like being able to fight of a horde and win in the end.

This Game It gives me the same sensations as when I played RO2
I like a decently acting AI. Unfortunately, this game provides the opposite.
I really like the feel of this game and think it finds a good balance between arcade-y/casual and hardcore.
Especially with the quick TTK and relatively slow movement and running speed. Other military-themed shooters these days, like CoD and BF, have soldiers zipping around like Quake 3, and it detracts from the immersiveness.
My favorite part of Enlisted (and the thing that I think is secretly why it is so good) is the AI.
The design of AI in Enlisted is so unbelievably good that its frankly shocking to me that a AAA dev hasnt picked it up yet. AI that you can swap to when you die keeps the action going for so much longer than any other game, and it leads to really prolonged, fun firefights. It also makes it so lower skill players can still have a lot of fun just by shooting bots, while high skill players have to learn to use their bots in different ways to get the most out of them.
The AI isnt amazing from a technical standpoint (theyre so dumb), but from a design standpoint, their fantastic and I honestly think theyre the secret sauce that makes Enlisted work. Without AI, Enlisted is just another WW2 shooter and isnt anything special.

I am sorry to crush your illusions, but this squad idea isn’t a) exclusively unique as you try to make it look like and b) the Ai isn’t not just “not amazing”, in fact it’s the worst I’ve ever experienced. And I really experienced a lot in 35 years of playing shooters and war based games.
Even Rainbow Six titles of the early 2000s or Ghost Recon had this idea and it was executed much better. It just wasn’t massive multiplayer though - but could have easily been.
Plus (but that’s a personal preference) I’d like to play much more with human players in a squad with their human failures as with bots that are as dumb as a piece of butter.
Oh, great, I can switch to a squad member if I die – that’s basically the same as simply respawning conventionally solo without a useless bot squad.
My guess is, this AI was just implemented because the devs knew they’d never have enough human players to fill all the squads - due to a huge rivalty of ww2 shooters that come along with much better quality.
But hey, have fun with your bunch of idiot bots at your side, if it makes you feel a special feeling of immersion

…thats the whole point. It’s faster, and it keeps you in the action without respawning. Normally youre staring at a respawn screen for 15 seconds, then moving back to where the action is. In Enlisted, youre just straight back into the action immediately. Its not a hard concept to understand.
If you dont like bots, then go play Hell Let Loose. Its a great game.
Thx for the advice, HLL surely will be next.
Post Scriptum is somewhat current here for me but lacks of players as much as Beyond the Wire does.
Plus, I need to be in the mood for playing realism and immersion based games like these.
A good alternative still remains with Isonzo/Tannenberg/Verdun
Average Enlisted player is dumber than bot.

You may have a point here - which is a devastating judgement, since this means there’s 2 significant reasons to not decide for this game - monkey dumb bots and even dumber human players - and no reason left to decide for this game. Thanks for summing it up in the most precise way.
For me, it’s because Enlisted is fun and not stressful as other WW2 MMO games. Seeing multiple kills on my screen always makes me happy. And the squad bot mechanic is pretty cool too.
Big map and decent scenery, and with proper destructibles, they could actually do more technically.
It should be said that Enlisted is a game with potential, but he shouldn’t be like this now. destroying some things that players like at every turn. and not fixing some long-standing bugs. and keep copy-pasting repetitive content that players are tired of, such as CQC battles restricted by gray zones. making you want to shout at him: NO! * **.
Not, CQC master players will only recommend you to use a squad fully equipped with automatic weapons, and you also need 3 grenades or large ammo packs
Press W pewpewpew W pewpewpew QEQE Redo, That’s all you need in a CQC fight.
Let’s get back to the things you like, there’s a lot of vehicle potential, and the map editor potential is pretty good in potential.
(But they are too slow to update, and there is no guide or function update after waiting for several months, but I think the recorded replay of the mod competition still responds to the needs of players)
Technically speaking, the performance optimization of Enlisted’s large map is very good, various explosions and particle effects, and they have improved the effect of day-night switching. I look forward to the large-scale battle of day-night switching.
They’re not the kind of company that can’t even handle flamethrowers effects. They have wood penetration but removed. And infantry armor, but they waited years for these still not be added to the game!
Their technical skills are solid, but their game planning is clumsy
The main problem is that it can’t play to its strengths, although players blame Enlisted for various problems such as the FPS movement is not smooth enough, the tripod of the gun does not work as expected, wrong reload animation for guns, the AI is clumsy, etc.
But the most powerful commercial advantage of Enlisted is its vehicle resources and huge map. It is not an FPS game like CSGO or COD, but a strategic shooter game combining infantry and ground vehicles and air vehicles.

But GR and R6 did not do that.
It is not fair to trivialize the appeal of this game just because GR and R6 could have done it (and in fact did not). It is nonsense.
Speaking of multiplayer with bot squad members in tow, I have experienced OperationFlashpoint (ArmA). That was a fun experience too, but I could only play it as a PVE mode by myself, basically by entering an unattended server or launching it locally. You could meet up with a friend and play, but in this case it’s not as casual. That’s fun, though. In conclusion, this is a very different game from Enlisted, and each has a different appeal.
Even if Enlisted uses existing ideas, I think it combines them in a creative way to give it a unique flavor, and if we deny combining existing inventions, human civilization will not exist. If you have a carriage, would you say you don’t need a car? The wheels belong to the carriage, right?
I expect the low intelligence of the bot to improve in the future. Anyway, I like the concept of this game.

F2P games are a magnet for dumb people.
AI at least can improve.
I like that a very few weapons are historical. Otherwise it is terrible, needs way way way more maps, more technical coding, less marketing of overpriced nothings.
