Burning questions for devblog summary

Mess Room
1

While waiting for the Devblog (soonTM, pending, TBA), here are some questions that mostly have been asked but haven’t been answered officially.

  1. Will premium squads have different visuals and voices for different maps?
    Or hello Moroccan bath robe boys in the Pacific?

  2. Will individual customized soldiers have different presets for different maps (if no biome customization = default)?
    Or if I have spent my hard earned customization tokens then hello dot-44 freezing Stalingrad winter hat German officer in Tunisia?

  3. How exactly will the new “matchmaking try to find the battle location that best matches to the participant’s weapons”?
    Does this mean MKB-42 will not appear on Moscow (maps) anymore? (it was never there irl in the first place)
    Does this mean Fedorov will not appear on the streets of Berlin? (it was never used there so late in the war)
    If Moscow, Normandy, Tunisia and Pacific can be made into random field and forest maps, will the recreated cities of Stalingrad and Berlin have stricter rules (e.g. no Tiger in Stalingrad, no T-26 in Berlin)?

  4. How will nations with different gear types match up against each other?
    In the current state of things Germany has phosphorus grenades and USSR doesn’t (captured?), Germany has paratroopers and USSR doesn’t (likely coming soonTM); Germany has Tiger II P and USA doesn’t have anything of the sort (or equipping Tiger II will make you face USSR only)?

  5. Speaking of paratroopers, I sincerely hope the devs are aware that allowing German paratroopers to arrive on top of the Reichstag or Reich Chancellery in 1945 or Soviet paratroopers jumping on Univermag in besieged Stalingrad is absolutely stupid and needs to somehow be limited, right…?
    (in fact, same goes for German paratroopers dropping behind US forces on D-Day beaches in the sea)

hi there, i’m not an official, but i would like to answer as i have seen similar questions and has been somewhat answered ( plus give two cents ).

i might not have an answer to all, but we can apply past logic and throw some expectations.

yes, we will see moroccan in the pacific.

because they are low level. and low level Allies will inevitably face japan as explained ( as well as early germans in the desert )

that’s a great question.

so far, it has been stated that the uniforms will change accordingly to the biome.

so i believe they will implement ( hopefully ) a customization menu dedicated for all biomes where players get to chose.

if not, i was planning on suggestion one with a shop system.

short answer;

it depends.

the game TRIES to match players and equipment based on the original campaigns those were in, but it it doesn’t, then it will extend the matchmaker and leave aside the " soft rule ". ( therefore it might happen if br differences are prominent )

on PH, either those are gonna be left as they are, or added to others factions as well, since it looks like the asymetrical balance is going out of the window.

regarding the tiger, i believe it will also face americans. as the sherman 76, m10 and m18 can pen a frontal tiger II. not to mention, US will get more tanks. and the t26 will be one of them.

that’s precisely what’s going to happen.

as that’s what paras do.

it doesn’t appear any limitations were on the list.

Yeah I obviously expect the absolute worst since the focus seems to be completely on “balance”, so all my questions by default can be answered “yes, it will be that bad”.

Just hoping Keo or others can mention all of these questions in their Q&As (of course they won’t).

Well, that’s where my questions regarding MKb (Moscow, was never there) or Fedorov (Berlin, was never there) come in: do we continue seeing Pz IV F2 + MKb in Moscow or can we just assign them to appearing in Stalingrad and beyond (tbf there is also zero evidence of MKB use in Stalingrad) since there will be no campaigns so no one is hurt by the removal of ahistorical stuff from “early war” context.

well, in their defense, they had to say this:

so, even if the normal matchmaker will be a dumpster fire for someone standard, perhaps customs will finally truly be great once again ( or starting to be ).

i can only speculate.

but i believe those will be an inter period between stalingrad and normandy.

it’s not like they will just shift all the levels, slap some br stars and call it a day.

obviously they’ll have to make some changes and move up / down some weapons.

on the federov, that’s a great question.
only time will tell.

if i have to guess, move it … up?

unless they will nerf it to the ground and make it available at low br.

solutions are many, answers are few.

that might not happen.

as, we could potentially use kriegs model kar 98s ( since it’s objectively the worst k98 despite me loving it ) in moscow.

and perhaps german lower smgs of other nations.

etc.

sorry to disappoint you, but the only non unistorical things you get to experience in Enlisted, would be through mods / custom matches.

Meh, personally I’ll probably just go play other “more WW2 games” if the main MM turns into Clownfield 1942 and we’ll have to jump through hoops in order to have something decent.

I think we’ll be looking at very big brain BRs:
MP 3008 nd Kriegsmodel are bad so go to ‘low BR Moscow’, Fedorov is good so goes to ‘high BR Berlin’ while it should be vice versa.

Yeah default answer is “probably disaster”, just wondering how they will sugercoat Moroccan boys in the Pacific in the Q&A :slight_smile:

i mean, if you wouldn’t know they are morocann, you could easily think some local ( with strange traditions ) decided to pick up some ww1 rifle of the fre… and decided to jolin the allies becauuse…

yeah, kinda clutching the straws here, but it’s kinda funny yet a bit sad.

i’m personally looking forward for customs though, ( and hopefully, more mod support )

i mean,

they are gonna be rare though.

they are kinda rare in tunisia to the least.

not everyone likes BAs.
and they have no engy, which it’s why not many people have them in the first place

Yeah those famous arabic/french speaking guys, Guadalcanal locals :smiley:

In all seriousness though, we also have the German sniper squad with facemasks – they will be heading to Tunisia and Berlin as well lol

we will be able to customize premium squads as those were the initial intentions ( as some prem squads in stalingrad can be customized )

so, for cosmetics it might not be that bad
( i really hope my ““work”” served for something Soldier's Cosmetic Concept Idea ( Enhance it by expanding it ) :point_right: :point_left: )

I would love to see Customization 2.0 together with (after) Enlisted 2.0.

Balkenkreuz and stars on tanks by default, vehicle camos unlockable through gameplay, era/biome appropriate soldier customization, webbing dependent on the selected weapons/gear, etc. combining many of the things you brought up in your threads as well as my huble suggestions:
https://forum.enlisted.net/t/why-current-soldier-customization-sucks-and-how-it-can-be-reworked

But honestly I don’t expect anything better than “Moroccan boys in the Pacific”.

i presume everything will eventually come.

it’s just a matter of time.

( they have started reworking some cosmetics )

and in all honesty, i’m somewhat please with the current customization that it’s in enlisted.

it’s quite extensive.

the problems are, the lack of selection in the base game.
( i hope in the merge will be adressed too, but i don’t think that’s a priority )
