What is this item on the custom match creation screen for?
As far as i can tell it does nothing. Clothing and bot profiles are always tied to the mission

Only third-party mod developers use this for testing; ordinary players don’t need it.

I don’t think that’s it. This button completely disappears when selecting a modded mission
It cannot be used to test mods. I believe it was supposed to be some sort of equipment filter feature but it got abandoned and they didn’t bother to remove the button.

Dude, there’s no difference; it’s just used for testing game data.
Can you give more detailed explanation? What “game data” is tested and how?
Related to game map development and character motion design
Your explanation is too vague. I would like to see pictures of this feature being used. I develop modded maps and i have never used or seen anyone else use this feature. Also what do you mean with “character motion design”?
This happened during the closed beta testing phase of Enlisted. You might need to ask Erica; she knows more about these things than I do.
This button did not exist during cbt period. It was added with the merge update when custom match interface got overhauled. Why would there be a campaigns button anyways when there was like 2 theaters available at that time?
I asked the same in dec. 23 because it seems to do nothing.
Erika confirmed: it does nothing.

After the merger, the core development team of Enlisted initially thought they could continue developing the historical campaign mode, but things didn’t go as planned. Ultimately, the historical campaign mode was canceled, but the corresponding campaign option was retained.
How does this answer support your initial claims? You said that this button is used by modders to test features, no?
it used to work, now but it doesn’t.
it basically allowed players to swap the cosmetic presets for players.
allowing to use for example, berlin uniforms over Normandy or other campaigns.
but it was either turned off, or was “broken” and never fixed since.
same with the campaigns.
used to allow to have japanese on normandy and soviets defending, but that only works on players nowdays.

Quite funny how they promised custom match improvements with the merge yet they did the exact opposite and downgraded many features

Erica has answered all your questions. It was indeed used for testing, but it’s now completely idle. Perhaps one day in the future, it will be repaired and reused for testing, but the chances of that are extremely slim.
i never said that.
nor… really has been used for testing at all.
not sure where you’re getting that from.
this one is true though.
with that being said.
Profiles are kinda there for that.
since we won’t be getting the equipment limitator either…

This is a minor bug left over from the core development team. Of course, if it can be used again in the future, it proves that enlisted has been restored to its original state; otherwise, we can only wait.
the past couple of updates and total radio silence on the modding scenes PROVED otherwise.

War Thunder shines brightly, while Enlisted endures a long, dark night. I know what you’re trying to say, Erica. Every player who loves Enlisted is heartbroken because it’s only been around for four years, while War Thunder has been thriving since 2014 and continues to grow. So, the situation with Enlisted is truly complicated. Moderators complain that player suggestions are impossible to get forward. It’s not that moderators don’t want to submit suggestions, but rather that the Enlisted operations team has its own ideas.
