We need more female soldiers!

Hello Devs and Comrades,

My girlfriend has recently gotten addicted to playing Enlisted with me, but one glaring issue that I clearly didn’t see before was the inclusion of more female player models. Since the inclusion of two premium squads in Stalingrad, we haven’t seen the inclusion of any other female soldiers in enlisted.

Historically, strong women have either enlisted or lied about their gender to serve their country. On all sides of the world this has been seen through wars. While not the greatest comparison, the same is the case when women want to play FPS games. In a battlefield seemingly dominated by males, games like Halo and Fallout have let female players choose a female model to feel even more immersed and like the game is for them as well.

There may not seemingly be many female players to give representation to, but not many people are going around saying what gender they are in a game of enlisted. If the reason that player models haven’t been put in place is to prevent inappropriate behavior, then put a report system in place. Again, I do not think that there is going to be a large amount of players that takes their time away from playing the objective to harass female player models.

In conclusion I would like to say that, for male and female Enlisted players both: the inclusion of female player models would be of benefit to the game. There are many female historical figures that have served great importance through their actions in war. There are just as many if not more female players in enlisted that would like to see the option of a model that represents them.

Здравствуйте, разработчики и товарищи.

Моя подруга недавно пристрастилась играть со мной в Enlisted, но одна вопиющая проблема, которую я явно не замечал раньше, заключалась в включении большего количества моделей игроков-женщин. С момента включения в Сталинград двух премиальных отрядов мы не видели никаких других зачисленных женщин-солдат.

Исторически сложилось так, что сильные женщины либо записывались на службу, либо лгали о своем поле, чтобы служить своей стране. Со всех сторон мира это было замечено через войны. Хотя это и не самое лучшее сравнение, то же самое происходит, когда женщины хотят играть в FPS-игры. На поле боя, которое, по-видимому, доминируют мужчины, такие игры, как Halo и Fallout, позволяют игрокам-женщинам выбирать женскую модель, чтобы чувствовать себя еще более погруженными и чувствовать, что игра предназначена и для них.

Может показаться, что не так много женщин-игроков, которых можно было бы представить, но не так много людей говорят, какого они пола в игре зачисленных. Если причиной того, что модели игроков не были введены в действие, является предотвращение ненадлежащего поведения, создайте систему отчетов. Опять же, я не думаю, что найдется большое количество игроков, которые тратят свое время на то, чтобы играть в цель, чтобы изводить женские модели игроков.

В заключение я хотел бы сказать, что как для мужчин, так и для женщин-зачисленных игроков: включение женских моделей игроков было бы полезно для игры. Есть много женщин-историков, которые своими действиями на войне сыграли большую роль. В списке есть столько же, если не больше женщин-игроков, которые хотели бы увидеть вариант модели, которая их представляет.

I am not sure where this will go for historical accuracy for certain campaigns and if they even had some female soldiers in their ranks

Its also not historically accurate for me to use the same face model on every soldier in my Machine Gunner squad, but I do it. This game is a historically accurate game in the design, but I still like to have fun and mess around.

That was practically an impossibility during WW2 because of physical examinations. The best you can get is Female Volksturm for Germany and the exclusive Female squads for the Russians, both of which are likely to be relegated to premiums and the like.

Well tell that to the rest of the community with historical sticks shoved so far up their ass that they refused to break any norm

Beginning in December 1941, 350,000 women served in the United States Armed Forces, during WWII. They had their own branches of services, including:

  • Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (later the Women’s Army Corps or WAC),
  • the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), and
  • the Women Accepted for Volunteer Military Services (WAVES).

Some women served near the front lines in the Army Nurse Corps, where 16 were killed as a result of direct enemy fire. Sixty-eight American service women were captured as POWs in the Philippines. More than 1,600 nurses were decorated for bravery under fire and meritorious service, and 565 WACs in the Pacific Theater won combat decorations. Nurses were in Normandy on D-plus-four.

None of those were front line units. They were Auxiliaries and stayed in America. The Nurses were also far from the front lines.

I trust my sources listed more than the word of LordBeaverbroke. I also had a grandmother that served as a nurse in Okinawa.

Ok, and those sources also would list every single one of those women serving as non combatants. Therefore, they should not be added to the game.

Soooo simply put how would they work in game? past soviet female snipers and the female pilots we have in stalingrad plus the prem medics there too for the soviets… Most nations didn’t allow frontline female use.

I don’t know how far I can go to explain how much germans hated female soldiers past the whole fact many who were captured were SA’ed then shot or beat. Germany in the end of the war was more akin to “throw shit at the wall and see if anything sticks” so they would allow female Volksturm probably, Haven’t seen a female volksturm photo so far.

USA, Brits use them as rear line support, never armed as far as I can find.

nvm just found one, Not sure if it really is a volksturm or not tho.

They would work the exact same as the male player models. Not hard to imagine. Google halo reach female player model. Google Fallout 4 female player model. Besides the appearance there is literally no difference.

Good to know with the female player models your mind goes straight to SA

… What does halo and fallout have to do with WW2?

Should we also add plasma weapons into enlisted? your making zero sense.

History isn’t black and white… I’m talking of a historical sense, German soldiers hated female warriors, now your trying to spin this around in some stupid way.

I’m ALL for female snipers, all for the prem female pilots and medics.

I’m not for “Let’s add women to the US army in norm” “let’s add females to the german army in moscow!”

As I said, in those games as well as enlisted, there is no difference at all between female and male player models. Try out the female premium squad yourself. They’re not weaker than the other squads.

Uh what? He is literally just telling you that is exactly what happened to them. The Germans and Russians both documented it as such. How is it his fault when that is literally the first thing that happened to them when they were caught?

I didnt say that. There are only 2 female squads in the entire game and they cost money.
