Regarding the current update. With a few exceptions in certain maps here and there, like in Quarry map for example (let’s just get a rid of that map altogether lol) To my surprise I’ve been having a lot of fun playing Moscow maps in high br. The way I see it, it brought fresh and new life to an otherwise stale map pool for hight tier Soviets and Germany, specially Soviets as they only had 2 campaigns in high br before this test. And playing Berlin over and over gets tiresome very quick.
Although at this point I wouldn’t even call it ‘Battle of Moscow’ anymore. For starters, it’s not like there’s very recognizable landmarks anyways unlike with other campaign maps. I’m having a blast pretending it’s somewhere random in the eastern front during 1943-1944. Just played confrontation in Beloe Lake and Birch Grove map and it was absolutely brutal yet very fun. Now I’m waiting for Fortified District that one’s gonna be hairy for sure, but can’t wait to play it.
Previously if I wanted to have a wide selection of maps to play in, I had to make specific adjustments and compromises to stay in BR III, but now I can enjoy all maps.
I just want to say that I like this idea of testing out things in the main game for everyone to try out. I hope devs can gather plenty of feedback after this. And maybe later in the future we could have more tests for other stuff, such as bigger cap zones and incorporating more Big Action mod elements into the base game. I see a lot of room for improvement. This decision is not as bad as it was made out to be by certain comments I read. It’s just for a week after all, we’ll see.
Turbo giga vehicle spamming (which is way worse now that jets have gigantic retarded proof bombs).
Fast phased invasion matches.
Lack of any kind of proper matchmaking.
Bots shooting through grass, fences and even doors.
Engineer construction menu, plus rally point taking so long to be built, which would not be a problem on its own but pair this with how fast people can capture objectives on invasion and it is really, really annoying.
Everyone having weapons with 50+ bullet mags except one faction and then locking weapons that perform exactly the same into higher BRs by having more bullets, while other factions don’t experience this, at the same degree.
Jets, I knew it was a bad idea since almost 3 years ago, because there was not a real way to realistically balance them, and here we are, with of course the one nation that used jets more widely having the most underpowered jets on acceleration, speed and agility and on top of that fire consistency.
Not being able to play my german paratroopers in lower BRs and being forced to face retarded jet spam if I ever dare to play them.
APCs having tracks made of butter and not being able to drive uphill.
Vehicle spawns being so uncarefully placed and getting to spawn inside houses, bomb holes between indestructible trees, etc.
Fire or bullet dispersion, it is so bad, it is the shittiest and most frustrating game mechanics ever made and implemented on a shooter game, I don’t think anyone has ever liked the mechanic itself.
Having to pay to remove perks from soldiers.
Having to purchase upgrades for either vehicles or weapons, having get the upgrade on top of researching the vehicle is good enough, it is abusive to have to purchase the upgrade for so many vehicles, so many weapons.
Weapons and vehicles no longer having 5 stars lvl, I did spend a lot on upgrading all my stuff for this to go away without any notice and not receiving silver for it at least.
Tank destroyers being same br as heavy tanks with way less fire power… why would anyone ever pick a stug over a pz IV by example, or a Panzer IV/70 (V) over a Tiger II?.
AA not being better at higher BRs despite planes getting way better.
Weapon upgrades being locked to a single squad instead of the squad class.
Lack of organization in game, it would be really nice that instead of having a guy that yells at you that half of the team tickets are gone and you have to try harder, the same guy could say, team could use rally point, we need to storm this building, something like that, something like mini objectives.
Goofy soldier animations.
What is not too easy to understand
New game menu for new players, any time I invite a friend to play the game they struggle to understand so many things.
Some weapon stats, as well as vehicles, I think the game should have a tutorial regarding vehicles, tanks and planes, for tanks mostly for the correct use of ammunition and for planes, anything that stops newbies from flying straight to the ground.
Soldier customization, overall, the new heads don’t even fit in the body as the old ones and not to mention how poorly implemented the clothing is. Also having to buy outfits that you have in one “campaign” already to be able to use them on another one.
Differencing allied artillery from enemy artillery, it would be nice to just, change the color of the artillery zone.
What you like
Sound effects.
Weapon models.
Vehicle models.
Game modes.
Game concept.
FPV even in vehicles.
Objective based game (kind of… I wish the game felt more about playing the objective than running into the enemy spawn in a best defense is offence way)
What I like so far: cough… Uhhhhh… The game itself???..
What I don’t like: Exploited games ramped up from maybe 1 in 5 games to like 2-3 out of five games being unbearable.
What I don’t understand: Players who destroy and steamroll my team then send spiteful messages after they win obsessing over “skill issues”, players who join quarter to mid game, and players using gear with battle ratings WAY over mine. Spawn protection applied to some players and not others.
It should deal 2-2.5x higher dmg at all ranges, they could simulate it through adding way more pellets to each shotgun. Winchester 1887 is now the weakest shotgun in a game, even worse than secondary slot shotgun we have received in last paid event BP.
Honestly all shotguns should get a massive dmg boost to be like in Rising Storm 2 and let you kill in single hit at up to 100m but have way worse recoil than rifles.

What you like
the infantrie gameplay / weapon models , reload animations, sounds and grafics
After the disaster steam release you get payed for it since now. 4k players peek on steam and I LIKE IT!
What you don’t like
tanka nd plain spam! its a mess for an infantrie based shooter!?
only 4 factions … there was more in world war 2! 4 allies 3 Axis!
content is not premium squads!
maps are no content too.
What is not too easy to understand
so many Ideas and you do nothing!
WHY?
Twitch drops to advertise the game?
Newest update has changed the color of your group’s pings. They used to be bright red, now they’re a teal/blueish color that is much harder to see against the map landscapes. Do not like.
1st - Manchuria , for the love of god guve us Manchuria or Mongolia. Japs VS Soviet would be so awesome and unique.
2nd - please emphasise infantry. We have been getting few new weapons lately, only vehicles. It would now be nice to get some infantry stuf again (or maybe APC jeep stuf idk)
3d - please no wierd M2 Obrez nonsence anymore.
Edit: additionally, if a new map is released, make me get it more in the first month. Have not played the map yet after a few days because i keep getting other stuf despite me putting the map on preffered
New Guerillas Allied and Axis with silencers, although need to max points in vertical recoil perk for allied
New map, looks like seelow, but play really nice
New effects are nice too!
Dislike:
When we have presets, map preferences need to be per BR, or a fast reset button added, as BR likes will be very different to BRV, need more likes and dislikes.
Moroccans, although I am happy you started to add customization options, the current choices look awful, we just want normal looking soldier outfits, leave Moroccan outfit for just Tunisia
Don’t understand:
Why can we not have customization ER environment?
Desertion penalty is pointless. I’ve got absolutely nothing against punishing for desertion, but it doesn’t work and doesn’t address the underlying issues.
It only might deter people that are still trying to unlock something. Those that have unlocked everything don’t care about the penalty.
This absolutely doesn’t not address that people don’t like ‘to be farmed’.
Suggestion: Improve matchmaking. Some form of matchmaking rating to have teams more evenly matched and split queues for solo players and squad players.
Reasoning: The battles that aren’t one sided are very rare and far in between. Most of the time you either steamroll the enemy which is ‘meh’ or you get steamrolled which is infuriating.
I have to agree with Bcoli.
The Desertion Penalty needs to be removed.
I still see a lot of players deserting, the penalty does nothing but set bad blood.
Just yesterday I was playing BR 2-3 with USA vs Japan. Japanese team was full of Japanese Mains, we were getting pretty much mowed down, even though we weren’t playing that bad. Rallies up, chokepoints defended; tanks playing smart…
Saw 3 people with around 20-30 kills leaving out of frustration with the imbalance. I have to agree, it was just not fun.
What happens?
These people will get the -20% XP penalty for deserting, which is like a second slap in the face after that onslaught. The very message of getting that will make them even more frustrated, instead of starting with a clean slate on a new match with fresh energy and fresh enthusiasm.
A friend of mine put the game aside for a while, frustrated with the penalty’s, and he is now playing Hell Let Loose.
We are losing Enlisted player’s good faith and trust.
Focus more on putting balanced teams in matches, bases on skill or player’s previous matches.
Just drop that stupid penalty. It is literally working counterproductive.
I myself encountered the -20% penalty too. Not for leaving, but because i forgot something on the stove,
and stayed away from the game a minute too long while I was fixing precenting burning my house down.
When I got back I got kicked out of the game for being idle, which was already frustrating, but then I got that damn message “You will be punished even further for your slip of the mind. Here: have not one, but 2 matches -20% XP. Have fun!”
It completely wasted my hard earned +50% XP for one match, that next match too.
Please stop screwing players for accidentily being AFK with this -20XP penalty!
Hope this gets picked up; I am a huge Enlisted fan but this is only hurting the already small dedicated playerbase.
So; to add to the feedback; priority number one should be to remove the -20% XP penalty foraccidentily being AFK.
Just a few examples (I only got the penalty once sincevthe update, but just some real-life scenario’s):
Things happen; the Xbox Controller batteries could suddenly die, having to franticly look for new batteries while you are getting kicked out of the game.
20% XP penalty and not for one, but 2 games!
You forgot pressing “A” already, the game was already looking for a match while walking out of the room, you come back few mins later:
20% XP penalty and not for one, but 2 games!
Somebody rings your doorbell; a package but there’s nobody else home so you have to walk down and open the door. You come back:
20% XP penalty and not for one, but 2 games!
You suddenly really need to go to the toilet, but you are already in a match; you come back:
20% XP penalty and not for one, but 2 games!
It is just such a rough way of treating an already dwindling playerbase.
It is just not the way to treat your players for missteps or slips of the mind.
That being said, It also completely ruins your play experience while trying to help the playerbase and empty lobbies for certain factions playing matches with the " Pick Random Faction" button, which I
recently did.
A nice gesture was the 1.4x XP bonus, but when I was accidently AFK once, it ruined my next 2 games with -20%XP, completely undermining the bonus 1.4x XP for trying to help fill empty lobbies. It’s just not fun.
100m one-shot range is a pretty horrible idea for a game who’s main player base is primarily on console. I already dunk on console children with rifles, carbines, sub guns, and assault rifles, I dont need my bots to wreck them over the horizon with a shotgun.
that one’s gonna be hairy for sure, but can’t wait to play it.
