Balancing still ruins the game after so many years

I played Enlisted quite heavily in 2021, but lost interest after being in so many battles that are just won so easily or lost so quickly, ultimately, the issue was the complete imbalance in matches. Many suggestions were made on how this could be improved back then, some by others and some by me.

Now nearly two years later, none of these suggestions were implemented, and balancing even feels worse than it did before. It’s sad really, this game could have had so much potential if they just focused on issues like this, they don’t even have to do the thinking themselves, there’s already so many viable solutions.

Maybe it’s not in Gaijin’s nature to work on non-game-breaking issues, or maybe they make enough money without fine tuning certain aspects of the game, just like so many other cash grabbing game devs, or maybe it’s some other reason entirely. But whatever the case, to me there’s no satisfaction in playing a game where 9 times out of 10, I can decide if I want to win or lose a match simply by selecting to play as Russians or Germans or Americans or Japanese.

I though that nearly two years would be more than enough for them to implement improvements, I was wrong.
