"Vasily Zaytsev" - Twitch drop hero soldier review

[Scav_Sergei]

Hello comrades!

I am a huge fan of real war heroes, i love collecting them in games. Here in enlisted we get a lot of real war heroes for golden orders, or twitch drops. This time its (rank IV) “Vasily Zaytsev”, a real hero of the soviet union in ww2, he became famous for his incredible work in stalingrad as a sniper.

Here a picture of Zaytsev (with my custom uniform creation, i love it) in my squad:

This is a real photo of Zaytzev:

I really love that Enlisted includes real war heroes, it makes me love the game even more
What do you think of Zaytsev, or real war heroes in general?

Didnt know he is the real person ingame, thats amazing, that means that other soldiers from twitch are also real too ?

[urmomwantsmi]

I think Koenig is based off of Erwin König. Not sure about others though.

[Conscript_Joe]

They are. But most of their names have slight variations in them

Hello comrades!
As a ww2 enthusiast i reserched a lot in russian ancestorypages in the internet and found out that these unique soldiers represent real award winning warheroes of their nation (with just slightly different names). The soldiers also fit in their timeperiod, like Vasily Barankov (Real life: Vasily Baranov who died in 1945 as a tanker in Berlin, awarded hero of the soviet union) is also a tanker in Berlin.

I wanted to create a list of these real soldiers with their ingame names, because i am really interested in such details including my own research (which i already added in the list)

Here’s an ancient post I bookmarked. useful for that.

Have you ever seen Enemy at the gates.

[Kaisershlacht]

guess not… but last time i saw enemy at the gates was in al har destruction

[Kaisershlacht]

Im expecting Simo Häyhä one day

[Scav_Sergei]

As you can see, he got this small medal (star) next to his name. every soldier with this name represents a real, existing hero of world war two. I love those details

[Scav_Sergei]

I am probably the only one who is the most interested in those warheroes and who they represent haha Almost every forumpost about them being real is from me haha

[Kaisershlacht]

does that count soldiers for gold order as well ?

[Scav_Sergei]

Yes, for all nations. Example:
“Petr likhanov” represents “Petr laktionov”

or for germany:
“Josen Dallmeyer” represents “Josef Dallmeier”

The soldiers were awarded and fought in the campaign which they exist ingame (that means moscow gold order soldiers fought in moscow in real life)

My Zaitsev rolled -3 in perks points, so it a shame really and I will not use him… All these medal soldiers should have max perk points btw.
