Why isn’t there an enlistee in the Modern Cold War?
Because Enlisted is a ww2 game and we most definitely don’t want to expand beyond because that would result in Abrahams fighting Tiger II in Korea or even worse.

It might have worked back when we had campaigns but with the tech trees? No way.
Warthunder also has this weirdness of combining cold war era stuff with WW2 vehicles in some matches. This is especially stupid with nations like germany who… …aren’t really the same nation anymore after WW2…
Secondly, it completely misses the target audience. If I am only into the cold war era, why would I want to grind through a WW2 game for weeks before I get to play the actual game I want?
Your best chances are to ask this question again in 3-4 years.
If Enlisted turned out to be successful, maybe Darkflow will expand into making another separate cold war infantry game.

If you want that stuff play custom games
Wait until we reach steam then Start talking about Cold War
You are assuming that the game engine will be able to keep up. The game already reached a point where graphical improvements are only possible by sacrificing performance.
Darkflow will have to use another engine eventually, so it would be wise to save such an opportunity as cold war conflicts for a new game.

i don’t think that will be what is stopping them, in fact if you look at WT they had cold war jets before they released to steam, though i believe if they were desperate they would go into cold war before steam to draw in the cashflow and appeal to the larger audience.
they would likely just upgrade the engine they are currently using (danglor 6 is the current version of the engine)
We do not need to divide the player base even more than it already is just wait until we reach steam then start doing this stuff

As in making a new Enlisted for the Cold War, or adding the Cold War to the current Enlisted?
the game is in life support right now, by all the signs it is giving constantly, held alive by the thread that is extremely abusive events to keep up the player count: fun is just an afterthought.
it is a mystery how long will it survive, let alone thrive enough to warrant yet another completely separate queue, with all the workload (which means funding money diverted to it) that implies in maps, gear, vehicles, etc etc.
keep in mind that the absolute minimum number of differentiated queues you can have is 2: the only step below is just one massive queue for every type of gear.
and that is exactly what we have. 2 queues. the absolute bare minimum. and they refuse to add a third, with all the trouble, rants, imbalance, complains and player exodus it is causing.
let those facts picture the actual situation for you.

Enlisted Crucible when
I mean if they are going to add it we might got a “Era” thing like how campaign used to be where we select era which imo would be cool but too much hope for me imo

i wouldn’t even call the game dead, especially since rank 5 is dominated by Try hards
