What do you think about most events being fomo?
I’m angry that I don’t have a silent mp40 German squad
It’s okay if i achieve a fomo event and get a squad, but if i don’t play for a long time, miss a lot

yeah, its illogical towards everyones interestes, especially DFs own but they dont understand it.
a company can start using fomo events in order to keep playernumbers high AFTER the game is already established.
enlisted currently is still small and needs to grow, meaning if it doesnt grow it fails, but if it grows it still annoys the new players by not giving them access to things that existed 1 year ago, which isnt the new players fault obv.
they think fomo helps them with the net profits, but it only creates net frustration and losses in player retention.
i showed enlisted to many people over the last year ive been playing and every young player was shortly left after being annoyed by too many frustrating aspects of the game and every adult player left due to the same reason and the playerbase being annoying to them

I too, want the suppressed sten squad.
Considering that the news of the more information about the merge had that team as the cover I assumed that at the beginning of the merge there will be an event where they will be available again
I just dislike that iirc its the sole free way to get paras.

I think that FOMO is not as bad as adding to the game more and more premiums.
Most of the events require around 10 000 points, which means about 1 hour of the game daily.
For me it is acceptable.

the problem is not for the people playing the events, even if the cruel requirements some times rise little storms…the problem is for the players joining AFTER the event is over and rewards are gone.
imagine if they make the greatly promoted launch (hopefully not on steam in the present state, bombs gonna drop harder than in normandy there) and a new player joins and sees aaaaaaaall the things he cant get, some even not present on the game in any way yet somehow gamechangers like paratroopers for ex…not expecting a great review from him.

Don’t like it at all.
I’ve been playing since the game left the closed beta, and those events were crazy af, a lot of points per stage and only one day to achieve them, etc. Just now we’re having a smaller amount of points to pass every stage, and just on the last event we had the chance to advance more than one stage per day, which was a huge improvement. But some squads will never be available again (or maybe they’ll add them to the premium category) so it sucks.
As ParaDivision said before, you can do that once you have a huge and solid playerbase, and the same thing happened to some people I invited to play…

I prefer regular progression, even if grindy…
Because it’s always there. It’s not timed, it won’t just disappear (opportunity to unlock) after some days.
I do NOT play everyday. Got a life. (Or lack of since BG3).
one, or two of those per years is fine… But 1 every 1 or 2 months is way too often.
I hate FOMO.

My honest reaction when I see fomo stuff
For many of us, it is not. I travel internationally for work and can’t play enlisted during those mutli-week trips because:
- I have to prepare for important meetings and travel city to city and country to country
- I can’t install Enlisted on my work PC and refuse to carry 2 all over the world
- Internet in many hotels in Asia won’t work well for Enlisted
- I’m a grown human with grown-up responsibilities
They do offer the option to pay our way out of this conundrum but that’s not very satisfying and, for most events, a non-starter.
YMMV.

Other than certain squads like Paratroopers, Type 99 long, silenced MP40 and Sten squads frankly not much to miss out considering most being worse versions of tech tree squads.
As for profile icons, someone is going to datamine them and can be used as pfp elsewhere like I want the Stalingrad pfp one which I got from the event but want to use it elsewhere or just to collection them.
Although you’re not wrong, those squads you mentioned are DEFINITELY worth owning (I can’t tell about type 99 because I don’t have it). They’re just effective AND fun. In example, both the silenced MP40 and paratroopers squads have been part of my Normandy Axis lineup ever since.
The Carlton automatic rifle squad (now with extra engineer slot) is really good too.
On a separate note:
I’m curious to see how the Devs are going to handle the outfit of such unique squads once the merge hits and we won’t be able to choose the battle theatre ourselves anymore.
Forgot about the Charlton so was the 76mm BT-7, Jagdpanzer IV and that Pacific Allies event SMG squad yeah these are also worth owning. I use the Type 99 long alot where its basically a better tech tree Type 99 rifle with faster ROF and better sights. The swords are also worth it except Japan because they can give everyone swords unlike other nations where they are only available in limited numbers.
The Lanchester 50 round is just a Lanchester with more rounds while the 9mm PPSh I feel like there’s more dramatic effect in the Western Front than the Eastern Front but not as widespread as the Soviet ones from the tech tree since the Allies don’t have much PPSh like SMG outside the M1928A1 drum in Tunisia and the 100 round drum that was from the premium paratrooper squad. Its just 9mm PPSh has the same weakness as the Soviet box mag one as it empties the magazine real fast even worse with only 32 rounds like MP40 instead of 35 from box mag PPSh.
Its just some other event squads don’t worth much like the Moscow SPAA considering how common tanks are in that campaign compared to Pacific while some others where the tech tree weapons are much better e.g. PPS-43 vs Kalashnikov PPK-42, STG vs 9mm PPSh, Astra vs TT or C96. Yeah GAZ AA with the 25mm is a unique vehicle in the game right now but I rarely see anyone use it knowing how common tanks are.
Also nothing to miss out on event planes.
No, that one is NOT. Those SMGs are inaccurate AF 
It’s crazy good. It runs dry in a blink, but it’s a laser.
Imo best “event” vehicles so far are the ones from Twitch drops.
Got a full stars Crusader that served me in Tunisia all the way up to the Sherman, and a full stars + unique camo Ju188 that I still use regularly.
Also, I hope the new BR system will give me a new reason to drive out my Stuart “Rhino”.

The funny thing is I got the same plane but never touched it since, for a long time, I didn’t play Axis, and since I just started playing Normandy Axis, I can finally use it😎
Understatement.
I dare say it’s the best smg in game atm… (because fast reload). 9mm keeps more damage over distance compared to tokarev round (because reasons? I didn’t quite get devs logic here) and it’s mg42 like rof makes it better than coomders imo.
Like you say, some are absolutely worth it.
I like having them. It’s just the mode to obtain them I dislike, time gated events are really bad in casual arcade games, especially when they give new mechanics things, like paratroopers, or “napalm” planes which won’t be available for new players or those who missed them.
9mm MP41r is a niche gun when you have Kilary and MP717r, or hell any AR
