Enlisted New Era ... My Hopes for 2024

Hello all, After playing in the post merge update for a little over a month, putting in 200+ games down, about evenly across all nations, I’d like to share my hopes for Enlisted in 2024. Mainly, I have enjoyed the game but do have some complaints that can be rectified. Overall I do enjoy the game more after the merge however. Let’s get started.

Firstly, I would like to see (if the playerbase can support it) the introduction of a 3rd matchgroup with or without BR VI. I understand and appreciate the fact that the reduced queues have brought more often than not, full games of players, of varying skill. However, balance wise, I think a 3rd group is warranted. How I would like to see it is the introduction of a third BR matchgroup at III and IV, and removal of the BR III from BR I and II. Optionally, BR IV could remain tied to BR V as BR III is now, however I think for simplification it should be as follows:

  • BR I and II
  • BR III and IV
  • BR V (If VI is introduced, insert here)
    This would give a more balanced approach to the game and make Japan not need to stretch into imagination land for BRV.

Next on the list, is continued balance of certain firearms. I’d like to see regular balance passes regarding BR changes of firearms if they are under or overperforming. I’d like to see it also more consistent where subclasses of firearms are.

Additionally, I’d like to see the development of better presets that take into account the gear equipped within the squads, and not just the squads themselves. We have the mass disarm function, so it could be utilized to “script the unequipping” if needed so this should be doable. Really important as not everyone has enough squads to equip for every BR grouping and you may want to have alternate loadouts as well. Furthermore, I’d like to see the improvement where if you do not have enough firearms to equip a standard starter rifle is added to replace the firearm if needed. I’ve noticed if I don’t have enough starters, it will leave the weapon equipped … Since you can’t sell starter rifles, this should be a great option to increase QOL.

I would like to see the introduction of Standing custom lobbies that are able to be joined for event completion with alternate BR’s or game mode specifics. Think of a Lone fighter BR III that you could join that would impact events or only BR I allowed lobby that only plays Assault. Lots of options that could be had. If they fill up, a new one could auto generate. This could also be a great way to introduce maps to the community in the future.

Silver income I hope to see increased, at the very least for newer players as they especially need the increase. I’d like to see a fixed minimum per completed game on top of the Silver gained based on XP/BP. Ideally, I think something like 2500 silver base per completed game (which would help incentivize people to stay in a lobby) on top of attaching it to a percentage of XP gain would be greatly appreciated … so say you get 20000 XP in a game: you could have 2500 base + 10% XP as Silver would give you 4500 Silver for the game. This would greatly improve the income for all, IMO. It would also work with making XP boosters more useful for those that have all unlocks completed.

And finally, bug fixing. Bug fixing bug fixing bug fixing. The two big ones for me are the random wonder woman invisible plane and the captain stretch animation that sometimes happens with someone that is still alive and moving.

I’m sure there are others that others may think, but these are the ones that come to mind for me, and I hope 2024 can accomplish these changes.

I’m gonna be honest, the fact that there are only 2 queues and BR III is in both of them fixes my main concern with Battle Ratings, which is stagnation of matches. I don’t want to fight the same thing over and over and over again. I don’t want to have to change MY loadout to change my enemy’s loadout. BR III gives me the same freedom of enemies that Campaigns did. Plus, BR III US is incredible. BAR’s and Thompson’s own lobbies all day long. Plus the M9 is great. I just wish we had a faster plane option for AT work, but having the choice between 1000lb bombs on a slow plane or M8 rockets on a fast plane works for me

And before someone says something about “suck it up and change your loadout,” that doesn’t fix the problem anyways. You go from having X and only fighting X, to having Y and only fighting Y. Still no variety, still becomes really boring really fast. Randomness is a core part of the fun of this game, at least for me, and BR III as things stand right now is perfect for that

Yes. It’s why I and a few others were against war thunder system in the first place.

The previous system suggestion, with campaign, or map locked weapons, would have been better if done correctly…

But ppl whined for a familiar war thunder system without thinking of the consequences, and we got just that, for worse or for worse.

Well. A WT-like system would mean more queues.

but this that we got is not a war thunder system! WT systems relies on a far more granular number of BRs interacting in far more differentiated queues, here we got 2 queues only. and its not even 2 clean queues, damn things even overlap one another.

I am so glad to hear there are others who thought as I did. Yes, preferred map system would’ve been better. Heck, even now you got people asking for that system on top of the BR system

Just saying, it’d be a whole lot easier to get specific maps by mixing preferred map and undesired map guns. Lol

But yeah, as the BR system stands now, it isn’t game breaking. The mixing of the two queues where I’s and II’s end up in V lobbies needs to be fixed, but once it is the MM is in an ok state. I definitely like US BR III over anything else. All my favorite guns of the war in one BR. Lol
