Recently as I just gotten back into Enlisted after 2 years, I feel like one key aspect of the game I still notice is the lack of customization options. Particularly speaking for Germany. I will most likely make another post about that some other time, however I will mainly focus on the current state of the default uniforms for the machine gunner classes for the Berlin campaign which obviously seems to be some type of Fallschirmjager uniform most distinctively by the collar tabs and helmet:
I mean, I have been glad that they always at least included Fallschirmjager uniforms, but its just lacking. There are tons of examples that they should add for every player - and no, not locked behind a premium paywall. I would much like them to see much more customization for them in the future if possible. Particularly speaking more uniforms for them, such as the M40 Jump Smocks which is a massive iconic part within their uniforms which I would love to see, preferably an opened collar variant as seen in the second photo:
Including the Splinter camo variant:
A fair share of helmets with their covers, and even FG-42 Ammo Bandoliers, and kneepads would be good to include:
In conclusion, I think this would be a good addition to this game, because
It will at least improve the lack of customization for Germany in particular, giving players a chance to at least have more customization options, rather than having to pay money for a premium squad.
It will add more immersion into the game itself, within battles and campaigns, making you actually sort of play as a soldier in the hands of a weapon that is intended for their use (theFG-42 for example). Now some of you may
argue that this game may be an arcady shooter, but I believe that a game regardless of being arcady or not, still does not verify as an excuse to not include at least a good amount of detail and immersion, especially for a game set in a historical event.
It will also add more of a diverse range of customization, rather than all troops looking sort of the same. It will give that feeling of different units actually taking part of a battle, alongside normal infantry units.
I am also well aware that some of you may disagree with this, hence there may be bigger problems in Enlisted, but I would just like to reinforce that I am not making this seem like this should be their number 1 priority.
Now for all of you, I want to also hear your personal opinions of whether this should happen, be a great idea, and why. I would even be interested in hearing in your own takes, and if you voted with no, I’d be interested to hear why.
True say, but not everyone is willing to spend money, just for the distinct purpose to at least to look different from others, although the price may be small.
I already stated specific uniforms they can bring in for free which could be used as alternatives rather than having to pay for them.
So what? Then there are alternatives for those who don’t want to spend any money by again, the examples I just listed that could be spent for free with orders.
i would rather that they have customization locked behind paywall rather than unique mechanisms like paratroopers, rocket arty, assault engineers, rocket tanks, flamethrower tanks, drop tank planes etc.
paratroopers are needed in TT and others would also be welcome there.
i am not against multiple ways for devs to monetize, but i am against when meaningful game mechanisms are behind paywall.
there should def be some stuff at least when it comes to uniforms to be on a paywall but not everysingle items so for me is fine to have some para clothes not behind pay wall
