What is the general playerbase's average IQ and skill level?

Mess Room

With the recent whining and crying for nerfs especially against Soviet SMGs while wanting to buff Germany’s weapons despite they already have some of the strongest guns in the game namely FG42, MP43. What’s the skill level and IQ of the general playerbase? From my own experience, I have seen some really brain dead teammates and there were even teams full of them alongside being poorly armed.

I see defender teams struggle the most where they think they can just use their sniper teams and snipe, getting as many kills as possible ignoring the objective unlike when as attackers, I could just force them out of their camping spots by making rally points and attack the cap myself at times forcing them to move out when the objective has been captured which often turns into a snowball against the defenders especially when the attackers are so fast at capping even when its not the first wave of attacks.

Of course there’s this obvious problem of them not building rally points and ammo boxes and kept insisting on using the shitty starter tanks even when they get stomped by high level tank, CAS or even just dedicated infantry that focuses on destroying tanks. There was this belief of shitty tankers that they can easily get kills but doesn’t know how to use it properly or the right situation to use a tank to the point that I see roads getting clogged with destroyed tanks.

Germany being the most popular faction in the community for various reasons, seems to be the most picked faction by the general playerbase so its common to see complaints how punishing Berlin campaign is for Germany while other campaigns are a mixed bag like some Germany mains complaining about suffering in Moscow of all places makes me think Enlisted has its own “Tiger Problem”.

This is my reference of the Tiger problem knowing many players pick Germany as the starting nation and want to rush Tiger because its this “big bad heavily armored cat” that’s exaggerated by various documentaries along the German military itself. In Enlisted’s case I see reasons like “German weapons are cooler” and stuff.

2 out of banana, would not recommend.
Then again you’ll sometimes indeed do happen to join these super crazy alpha ubermensch sessions where everyone is extremely capable, usually premate groups fighting each other.

Those kinds of battles are actually a rare sight with both sides having high level weapons(not just 1 guy having one in a single team) where the battle felt really epic and winning has this different epic feeling compared to stomping Volkssturm teams.

I’m below average.

Why, coz I play for myself and not for the team.
I do spawn points for me, to get in batle faster and not for the team.
I don’t care if I win or loose I simply play to kill, have fun and enjoy my time on the game.
I play for myself so I m below average.

Mileage may vary.

It depends on the campaign but I see more players play Axis on Eastern Front Campaigns while Allies in Normandy and Tunisia(Was playing in NA).

To be fair, all you have to do in order to be “above average” is literally to build a spawn radio, thats it, might as well go AFK, you have already done more than most players do : D

Nerf Soviet SMG and limit FG42, boom problem solved

One german player here and 120 acc to last test but my creative mind blinds that number at times as it enhances it. But that last is prob an placebo effect of grand delusion. I still suck at Enlisted though so dont think IQ will help, especially against bots. They always figure me out in a way sooner or later so im thinking about signing up to Elon Musks program of becoming one myself.

Also i wouldnt call an slight reloading time an nerf when those weapons have plenty of ammo in them already xD that was just some magic trick to dodge bullets but please do correct me if im wrong
Its the same as they took away body armors for cops to save money but higher the staff of medics to compensate

i struggle to understand the message of this post.

like,

and ? …

cuz, if we are talking about the german playerbase, yeah, that’s though.
as i main germany, i can confirm that they lack of teamplay and general iq.

but… just like any other game?

if people see shiny toys, they want to get those toys.
no matter what.

usually, complains comes for two reasons.

Ignorances,
and asking for balance.

the first one emerge pretty much everywhere, to a point that it’s blatantly obvious and not only germany.
the latters, are for improve the game and make it more fair as few factors aren’t " right " by the general perception ( or should i say, common sense ).

cuz, talking of the fg42, all the complains comes from german players ( like me. as i was one of the firsts along side many others to point out how broken that gun is ) and non german players.

so, it’s not like everyone is brain dead at the same.

which, speaking of, i hate to bring it to you, but it’s a free to play.
what do you expect?.

everyone is welcomed, even the not so " bright " or nice individuals.

because enlisted is a casual game.

you can’t really wrap your head around over a game that it’s meant to be played casually the way you like it.

for how much i used to think like you, not everyone is a mega chads or mega Stacys/trixies like us.

not everyone has the same skill level.
nor the same hours and experience.

this problem comes from lacking of match making.

but even there, does not " solve " the nature of people.

and last but not least,
from what i can recall, if germany wins, it’s because their opponents aren’t playing well.

i remember so many posts complaining about d-day as muricans.
just to find out they were the first cause of their own defeat by not sniping mg positions, use tnt on walls, or even create rally points behind the enemy line while you just unlock the engys at level 3…

and how can you blain people for use the starter tanks either?
they have to start from somewhere and get better at the game?

the only problem that i see to be honest,
are the campaign level dispositions and use the shiny toys to “”“balance”"" campaigns from those unplayed, to the massive flocks of one faction going over the other campaign.

that, in my opinion, is a big problem.

but perhaps for another time and discussion/post.

Soviet smgs don’t need nerfing its just that the no skill kiddies have gotten it into there head that they are “overpowered” when they are not. I’m sorry but its just that there shite at the game and complain about anything and everything that kills them.

Its just the players that play against the soviets are mostly bad sorry to sound like a dick but its true. Its a player issue not a game balance issue and its something you cant fix with useless nerfs.

Also damn the campaigns are not populated as well as they used to be am i the only one who has noticed this ? Is enlisted really losing players ? Because I seem to be coming up against mainly bots or players that do not have a clue what they are doing.
