Independent Sub-Faction Tech Tree

[Redmisty]

Do you support idea of adding/spliting sub-faction tech trees from main factions?

• Yes, it’s very necessary.
• No, I have no interests about it.

Do you support idea of “Lend-lease” mechanics?

• Yes, that will help a lot when grinding new tech trees.
• No, I think ok enough for now.

Hello comrades! Today I will bring you with a suggestion that could make Enlisted more interesting and fun! It could help extend our battlefield very well!

This suggestion is in progress, and would improve contents any time!

Independent Sub-Faction Tech Tree

As far as we know, there’s four factions in game already, they are Axis, Allies, USSR, and Japan. These four factions are corresponding to different campaigns in game. There were more than four factions involved in WWII, as Enlisted presenting to us, it would include more and more contents from the 4 factions.

With the increasing of weapon and squad amounts, the original tech tree is a bit compact. To introduce new factions which actively participated in WWII but not with full ranks armament, it’s necessary to introduce Sub-Faction instead of inserting it into existed faction, to avoid breaking now design of main factions tech tree.

The aim of Independent Sub-Faction Tech Tree

• To make main faction tech tree more space for original armaments.
• To introduce more active WWII participators, and extend arsenal of Enlisted.
• To make gameplay and combat more immersive and historical.

Independent Sub-Faction tech tree

Attention! That doesn’t mean the priority of such sub-factions would be released.

I will take China as example. After concluded all resource and documents, we found Chinese tech tree (WWII period) have no completed arsenal set into V ranks (With no heavy armored vehicles and modern aircrafts, also lack of full-auto rifles that could shot full-power cartridges).

China was one of the most important participators during WWII, and she actually contributed a lot towards the situation of far-east campaign, with various armaments that could cover I-IV ranks battle in our game. It’s not necessary to make all trees have V ranks.

Matchmaking

I will take China as example again. We actually have five Chinese squads (Liu rifle, Thompson 7.63, Sichuan SMG, Sichuan Thompson, PPSh-41(S)) in game already.

When it comes to matchmaking, it could join battle with main faction USSR into Manchuria campaigns, with main faction Allies into Burma campaigns.

Due to now existed squads was directly inserted in USSR and Allies tech tree, they could involve in battles as the main factions do: Hearing war cry in Chinese in Normandy or Moscow/Berlin, will cut players’ immersivity a lot.

Existed contents

• Researchable contents, like Type 88 bolt rifle, will hide from USSR tech tree, purchased one would be remained. (As Soviet Thompson did)
• Premium/event squads, would be moved to new tech tree directly.

Lend-lease mechanics (optional)

There could also be a optional mechanics to make players grind new tech tree and build squads faster. We have already have similar function “Weapon transfer” when Enlisted was in Campaign mode.

You are able to transfer weapons that duplicated (or you call it copy-pasted whatever) in new tech trees. For example, you can “Land-lease” M2 flamethrower to Chinese squad, or some basic rifles used by and existed in new tech trees.

I’ve vaguely argued for this in the past, I think it would be an amazing concept.

Imagine a Polish subfaction, that queues with the Western Allies in Tunisia and Europe, then queues with the Soviets for Berlin maps.

Could even add a Warsaw campaign, which arguably Poland could queue up alone against either Soviets or the Germans, or again with the Soviets against Germany…

Or Italy, fighting for Germany in North Africa, the Eastern Front, and a future Italian Campaign, then also queueing up against Germany in Italy as well… Oh, and a East Africa Campaign against just the British too… My mouth is watering…

A lot of cool stuff could be done with this format, that’s all I’m saying… And that’s without saying that I could finally get my Commonwealth line-up as well…

Great suggestion!

@Redmisty

four Chinese squads (Liu rifle, Thompson 7.63, Sichuan SMG, Sichuan Thompson)

However, you forgot the premium Soviet PPSH(S).

Also, the “Chinese” Sub-faction should also not be called the NRA, as Chiese squads for the Soviet faction are all from the 88th international brigade, which was made up of Communist guerillas.

These compose 3/5 of the Chinese squads in-game, so it would be more logical to instead call the Chinese faction NAJUA (Northeast Counter-Japanese United Army, not to be confused with the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, which was integrated into the NRA in 1937), since all of them kept their command structure and affiliation to the CCP after integration with the Soviet 25th army.

It would also be possible to separate them between the Western Allies and the Soviet Union, with the NAJUA keeping it’s name and the NRA being added along with the British Commonwealth, since there is no need to unite them from a gameplay standpoint.

Absolutely!

Enlisted has the potential to become THE WW2 game, covering all major fronts and all key factions, like no game ever has done.

Imagine being able to activate “Play any faction” and literally play through Winter War, Shanghai, Iwo Jima, Dunkirk – all in one single game nonstop.

That’s what I hoped for with the campaigns system but it was dead on arrival.

And that’s what I’ve been conceptualising and suggesting ever since the Merge apocalypse happened:

Enlisted that Could Have Been -- Ultimate WW2 Game Concept

Introduction I’ve been playing WW2 games since 2002 (BF1942) and the original Call of Duty but certain pieces of the war were always missing in this and that game, and I’ve always dreamed about a WW2 title that would encompass all the major fronts and all the major armies. Enlisted look(s/ed) like the perfect base game to implement this. 1. Early War (1939-1940) Maps: battles in China, Khalkhin Gol, Poland, Benelux, Finland, France, Narvik, Battle of Britain, North Africa (Sidi Barrani) [im…

Enlisted 2.0 – Historical and Balanced concept. With UK, Italy and France

Hi! This thread is a continuation of the ideas expressed in my original thread Enlisted that Could Have Been – Ultimate WW2 Game Concept – you will find the general thematic approach there. Disclaimer This thread is just a mental exercise. I am aware that nothing like this will be done (we don’t have the playerbase, nobody likes low BR, etc. etc. – I know) The devs are set on making a 1:1 ‘balance’ system with 4 nations x 5 BRs. In order to get the idea of this thread you’ll need to forget E…

The game has incredible untapped potential of WW2.

It just needs to develop “horizontally” instead of “vertically” (like Su-9 1946) or “insanely” (like Chinese at Moscow).

@Redmisty

China was the most important participator during WWII

I’m just not sure about this statement, chief

You should try easy red 2. One of the only ww2 games that has shanghai-nanking campaign and much more

[BaronBrahman-live]

This would allow us to see France in game. With queues with the axis (as Vichy France) and queues with the allies (as early war french army).

Thank you, changed it o7

88 separate rifle brigade is Red Army unit - it can’t be added somethere else
