After the latest update, the German faction feels significantly weaker than the other factions. While other nations received noticeable improvements, Germany seems to have been left behind.
The balance no longer feels fair, especially at higher battle ratings. Many German players are frustrated because it appears that the faction is not receiving the same attention as the others.
I have supported and enjoyed Enlisted for a long time, but the current state of Germany has made the game far less enjoyable for me. If this imbalance continues, I see no reason to keep playing and will uninstall the game.
Please review the current balance and give the German faction the same level of support and improvements that other factions have received.
I am specifically talking about Battle Rating 5.
Since the latest update, both the US and Soviet factions seem to move noticeably faster, and their weapons feel much more effective than before. Prior to this update, the game felt fairly balanced and each faction had its own strengths and weaknesses.
Now there is a very noticeable difference between the factions. Germany feels significantly weaker in comparison, especially at BR 5. The gap in performance is much larger than it used to be, and matches no longer feel balanced.
I am not asking for Germany to become overpowered, but I would like the balance to return to the level it had before the update, when battles felt much fairer for all factions.
In my opinion, the American and Soviet weapons at BR 5 are at least one level above the German ones. They feel much more accurate and effective in combat.
The soldiers of those factions also seem to move much faster. I may be mistaken about this, but from my personal experience I have noticed a major change since the latest update.
Before the update, the balance felt much better. Now the difference between the factions seems much more noticeable than it used to be.
Thank you for taking the time to read my feedback. If my perception is incorrect and the statistics show otherwise, I apologize, but I wanted to share my experience as a regular player.
To be honest, I am not asking for a specific weapon buff.
My concern is the overall BR 5 balance. The American and Soviet weapons feel noticeably more accurate and effective than the German ones, and their soldiers seem to move faster as well.
I cannot point to a single weapon and say that it is the problem. My feedback is based on the overall gameplay experience after the latest update compared to before it.
Perhaps other players can provide more detailed statistics or identify specific weapons that need adjustment. I simply wanted to share my experience that BR 5 Germany currently feels significantly weaker than it did before the update.
I’m a German main and I assure you there’s no problem with the current BR5. German should’ve receive buffs on BR3 and below but as the G41 got the damage buff I think we’ll have to test it out before deciding whether it needs more buff.
As for the German BR5, StG44 and FG42 II are all great TT guns and the Tiger II is literally in its own league. The only drawback is probably the Me262 and it’s totally fair, you can’t ask for everything. My experience on German BR5 only had problem with USSR’s plate armour (it’s just mechanical wise a super OP thing), but otherwise it’s all fine.
You say “feel” like 30 times, but you’re not actually saying anything. What gun is underpowered, in what way? Compare a german gun with a similar Soviet gun (TT), rate of fire, hit power, reload speed, etc, to show where the issue is. And then compare all the rest of the guns also.
Afaik all nations’ soldiers have the exact same base movement speed per class. If soviets are running faster than you maybe they put perk points into run/sprint speed, while yours are in jump height and med pack speed or something. Re-perking is free now, get run speed instead maybe. Maybe they’re carrying lighter gear.
I wonder if this friend might have been frustrated after being dragged down by his teammates in a few games, and thus impulsively claimed that the German BR 5 is weaker than other factions…
Lots of sweats playing BR5 lately, its not a buff or nerf thing. Just some people think that they need to run 9 men infantry squads with AVS-36 20/Type Hei auto/T20/FG42 II in 4 player sweatsquads.
They are nothing more than cowards that are afraid of losing a match, ruining the fun of 16 other people.
Let me say it again: new players should not enter Tier 5 rooms unless you want to get slaughtered in a brutal battle. Get familiar with Tier 1-2 rooms first, then move on to Tier 3-4 rooms. Only enter Tier 5 rooms after your squad and weapons have been fully upgraded.
Ohh thats rich coming from German mains xD Its not our fault that you have turned it in to the ‘‘best’’ faction :
Mostly USSR are running AKs not 9 man squads simply the changed their faction I played yesterday with half my team being German mains even ParaDivision was in my team as USSR xD I never seen something like this im not gonna name the rest of the traitors
This is the difference between human players and AI players.
It’s the gap between “chasing endless, no-holds-barred sensory thrills” and “getting that pride and sense of accomplishment from winning big or scoring huge gains.”
It’s the difference between “loving total, unshackled personal freedom” and “going all in on team play.”
While we all like good teammates, your fixation on people playing the way you think they should seems perilous. I fear that real life is going to be a big disappointment for you if you don’t learn to accept that most people are, uh… special.
First of all, I’m not insulting anyone.
I’m merely stating that I myself will actively use my brain to think and use my hands and eyes to participate in this game.
No matter which faction, which country, or which BR I choose, as a regular player, I can achieve the highest score possible and be all-round. Not just playing with tanks, planes, or camping, nor just building useless structures without shooting at the enemies.
Moreover, I know that my gaming skill level is quite low. In my community, there are nearly 400 regular players and nearly 2,000 subscribers.
They are all truly experienced, skilled and powerful players.
Could I be considered a recruitment office staff member, or a reserve player?
I’m just someone who actively uses their brain to think and participates in the game with their hands and eyes.
I can use my brain to think about how to make the best use of the worst equipment, in the most difficult circumstances, and how to make the greatest contribution to the team. But “the robots” won’t. Among them, only the real machines would understand: he can do nothing but randomly set up rally points and then launch a suicidal charge towards the strategic point, hoping that other soldiers will win.
If someone feels that they have been insulted, then they should reflect on how they played the game and whether they should repent after the church gathering on the weekend.
The true players, the experienced players, they won’t think that I’m insulting anyone.
Because they can do it better than I can.
This is another difference. The difference between “always expecting to have good teammates to share the victory with you” and “becoming a good teammate for others and sharing the victory with them”
Of course, there is also the issue of the player allocation mechanism in WMM.
