Future of enlisted?

Mess Room

Just in case you didn’t know because I didn’t know until today infantry in War Thunder is going to be the real deal, not just some April Fools’ joke. Some serious leaks suggest Gaijin is preparing for a playtest soon.

This got me thinking, though what does this mean for Enlisted? What does Gaijin plan to do? Some of my friends say the whole purpose of Enlisted was just to test infantry mechanics for War Thunder, and once they’re done, they’ll ditch the game altogether. That really worries me, because Enlisted is a one-of-a-kind game, and I love it.

The whole “abandoning the game” thing feels especially concerning to me since, over the past year, we’ve barely gotten any big content updates. What does the future hold for Enlisted? What are your thoughts?

Enlisted shall join the club of “games gaijin gave up on instead of trying to make them better”

Good ending: Enlisted will merge with Warthunder

Average ending: enlisted will continue the same

Average ending 2:Enlisted will be focused on WW2 and Warthunder on the Cold War
Edit: Cold War and post-Cold War

Bad ending: Enlisted will decay until he dies

I think these are the possibilities

The problem I say with this is vehicle premiums as some premiums in enlisted are TT in war Thunder

This would be a problem for the devs but I think a merger is unlikely to happen, so it won’t be an issue.

this one is definitely nonsensical.

WT has WW1, WW2, cold war and fairly modern stuff (2010+).

But all other outcomes are possible.

The leaks show few weapons from ww2, so that’s why I thought of that possibility.

They could always make it so infantry isn’t unlocked until you get a Cold War APC or vehicle.

I don’t think they would limit their main project in such nonsensical manner. Especially since Enlisted no longer has full support.

I hope they go with the average ending 2, because one of the reasons I quit playing War Thunder is fighting vehicles that never faced each other i.e., a King Tiger, a WWII tank, facing post-war tanks like the T-44-100, for example. It really ruins the immersion for me.

I know everyone has different standards but personally I don’t mind prototypes. I’m pretty sure the T-44 was a wartime prototype

If it was made during the war its ok in my book

That was just an example of what I meant. I haven’t played War Thunder for a long time the T-44-100 was the one that first came to mind. My general complaint is that a tank manufactured in 1938 faces a tank that was made in the 1960s. i.e ww2 tanks facing cold war tanks in general. Thats why i dont like playing war thunder and want enlisted to keep going exclusively for ww2.

Devs wont talk to us one way or another. Why I just find another game

I prefer this game because it is strictly WW2. They would have to seriously overhaul Warthunder and firmly split periods for me to even give it a chance, and that’s if there was some sort of merge

WT is more of a random sandbox while this game at least has a strict narrative of the historical setting

I do not want to see M1 Abrahams and M16s in Normandy

I like to believe that Enlisted is fine…….

I just want to play Enlisted.
I want developers to shift the energy they put into Active Matter back to enlisted. I pre-ordered the most expensive version of Active Matter. Now I hardly have any friends to play it with. And as far as I know, China is developing several games of the same type, and their quality is all very good.

Link or it isn’t true.

without support for custom content,

this game is good as dead i’m afraid.

it’s what allows a game to be endless.

but as adam puts it, if they haven’t closed crossout or star conflict, which have way less players than enlisted, enlisted isn’t closing any time soon.

I prefer enlisted mostly because of the squad mechanic. Not only does it make the game more immersive, it helps balance the game. With certain weapons being able to only be used with certain types of soldiers, it helps prevent everyone from using the most powerful weapons at all times.
