All Loud on the Western Front

And what great mechanics did you see here? The one thing I like about this event is squads locked behind infantry effectiveness. ( Ofc made completely obsolete by the arty button ). I hope this mechanic finds it’s way to live, especially for tanks.

Do you really consider this a new map? Compare it to Manchuria. This feels like a map made in the editor in one afternoon.

Not everything has to have vehicle content

Sometimes winning in a free for all is the best reward. But I also wanted leaderboards.

How many weapons do you think you have in this event?
At least in lead storm you cycled through 10 ore 12 different weapons, I don’t remember exactly. Here you will have a bolty for most of the game.

It takes risk to melee Vs any weapon that can kill. Why not be awarded if you are successful?.

At least the spawns were dynamic. In the ww1 event you will always walk 200 meters from the same one spawn and die to arty half the time.

The whole ww1 map is just uninspired, open and sad. See for yourself when you will play the event.

Considering everything, the one thing you are right is the mechanics. And I will say again, I like having to be good with infantry in order to spawn vehicles

You are wrong on everything else.

Thanks for showing this, no reason to go beyond level 22 I guess.

Don’t buy it! It’s a total rip-off. Just get the 900-tier and grind slowly. It’s still tough right now, but it’s too late so I’ll just skip the rest. I’ll see how much I have left by the end and pull it down then.

If you’ve got money to burn, whatever.

I gotta say, this April Fools event gave Germany a bunch of fun and useful stuff. The Soviets though… pfft, total joke. Who wants a reskinned TT and PPSh? Come on!

so, i’ll start by saying that,

i love every second of this event. that is, the main gamemode.

granted, it’s not for everyone.
constant explosions, and BA ( Bolt action ) Rifle gameplay will drive away most folks.

and as i jokely said, this event had more content than the previous 2 updates alone.

the biplanes, zeppelin, tanks, uniforms etc.

truly great.

with that being said, this event is a bit of mixed bag.

Things that i like

  • the new weapons, tanks and everything as far models goes

  • the gamemode

  • the AI waves

  • new equipment ( gas mask mechanic & Vickers )

  • the atmosphere ( map, palette color, every single detail of it. )

Things that i don’t like

  • repetetive
    it ain’t for me, but i can see why most would say that it is repetitive. which i can agree with. even though i don’t mind

  • balance
    while it’s not increadibly unbalanced, i don’t quite get why the madsen and the mandragon 10 rounds were used.

the mandragon is a semi auto rifle, which was primarily issued to zeppelin crews. yet, everyone can use it.

the madesn is " fine " but leads me to the next point:

  • Lack of a MG 08
    truly an iconic item that would have been universally loved to get with this event as it was fitting, and have been asked for the base game as well.

last but not least,

  • Rewards

in good concious, i cannot skip the fact that, while some rewards are cycled, and some are new, which it’s more or less fine, but the helmet being only 2 pieces for the entirety of the event for the base squad is simply not enough.

considering that squads have more than 2 soldiers with more than 6 campaign presets, there should be given more.
or make so that pass owners gets more.

i’d say, 12 for free to players, 24 for BP owners.

and speaking of rewards, while i get that the base game is ww2, much like in war thunder, would have been cool to being able to unlock some of these squads with the vehicles in the base game or over custom games.

with that being said, a solid 7.5 out of 10.

this april was actually good.
could have been better though.

I agree with you, if they’re giving us the same Gewehr 98 model again as an event prize, it would be amazing to include at least one German trench club!

So you are telling me that tank designed to go through trenches, cannot go through trenches ?

so u are a troll.

New mechanics include:
Staged ammo with tanks
New artillery types
Functional Gas masks
Artillery stations
Coordination on charges via whistles

Yes I consider the new map a new map. certainly less lazy then the bullshit we had in leadstorm

You know id rather have new vehicle content than not

So no reward for winning just copium

You misunderstand what I meant by 1 weapon lineup. There was only one order of weapons to go through making it extremely stale

Cuz some weapons are harder to kill with than knives so takes the fun out. if you want to make them fun make them take away stages from the other person

No way you are defending the leadstorm spawns

Yes Theres a map with no mans land and trenches for a ww1 game mode shocker.

What a joker

This is Enlisted, after all. The whole game is full of anti-tank trenches.
War Thunder also has plenty of trenches, but any tank—even wheeled ones—can drive right through them.
The trenches here are way too wide. They even made the mistake of building them wider than what was historically allowed, which means the trenches aren’t even safe.

On top of that, DF doesn’t give players spawn protection, so I keep getting blown up by artillery the second I respawn. It’s ridiculous.

And the tanks meant to cross these trenches are just terrible—even worse than the WW1 tanks in War Thunder.
I’d say they feel worse than the ones in Battlefield 1, honestly.

At this point, it’s not even historically accurate anymore.

No, you’re the clown.
Even if you’ve fixed some of it now, your earlier arrogance has already screwed you over.

The game has enough HE, no need to add more ways to kill people without having to use your guns. Almost nobody even uses the smoke artillery, and that is always available.

Absolutely pointless in the WW2 setting, especially in Enlisted.

Another useless implementation. You already have radio operators.

If we call a sound effect a mechanic, we are really stretching the definition. It’s also completely useless since nobody would understand what they are supposed to be doing.

Your standards are extremely low apparently. Some people have standards.

No way you are still talking about that event. The idea is no matter if the previous event was good or bad, the idea is to evolve and learn from mistakes. The ww1 event spawns are horrible, way worse than leadstorm if we are to compare it

Pretty sure that not the whole of WW1 happened in a trench and no man’s land. Look at bf 1 map design, a really well appreciated ww1 game.

talk about cope. you keep digging yourself deeper and deeper into a hole. Thats what you get for trying to defend the worst event in the history of enlisted

Take your pills man those people on your side arent real

Nice argument you got there for all of my points. That’s what people who aren’t able to defend their distorted world view say. I accept your concession.

Not just costant artillery, constant mustard gas and bombing runs too…plus these AI soldiers have instantaneous laser sighting that could be dialed back. I spent 3 straight matches spawning 14+time and dying before I could move…makes the daily objectives HARD for a paid BP.

Please say they are keeping this as tier 0…with a few tweaks its awesome! This can EASILY be a WWI and II game.The Mark I needs to be TT for Tunisia

Maybe also keep the mustard gas out of spawn points and tweak the AI with laser site, reactions and sniping skills.

And PLEASE develop this as tier 0 for the game…its awesome and makes you play tactically different.

agreed. i hate that in these kind of events where you usually need to choose one or the other or spend 5+ hours daily to grind both.

sometime it gas arty then it normal arty. Then randomly a bomber would come in for some reason.

You can switch the ammo type in artillery screen, just like for smoke in standard game.
