Well, today I come to present a topic that is no longer new: Is Enlisted really a better place?
I think they still don’t realize the severe disadvantage caused by the use of US premium jets.
Can they use two jets quickly?
Today I present my dissatisfaction with the game. I am a very active Enlisted player—too active, I would say—but today was the last straw. Yes, they banned the Meteor, but now there are even more American premium jets.
It is extremely disadvantageous to have to deal with that aircraft. Even having the Me 262, it is impossible to shoot it down. I say this because I don’t believe I’m the only one who gets discouraged and considers leaving the game because of this. It discourages many players; people leave matches more often than usual.
And yes, maybe I say this because I only play Germany, but come on—it’s WWII. What happened to strategy? To fun? Now it’s all about one plane flying over the point several times and wiping out the entire team.
I hope the opinions of all players are being taken into account and that they really do something about the jets. Enlisted still has a lot of potential, but matchmaking is another issue. Fighting against an American jet feels wrong—and this is not War Thunder.

That’s my biggest grievance. This game panders to much towards lazy boom and zoom jet pilots, who don’t even step on the point, that’s the sad truth. When I try to enjoy BR V I have decide between doing what I like to do which is playing infantry and driving my APC, or having to sit in a AA gun for the entirety of a match to save my team from losing because of constant back and forth air attacks. I’ve gotten like 12 plane kills in a single match, just from jets. People do cycle them a lot, so much that the word annoying falls short to describe my experience as an infantry-main ever since jets were added. I’ve had multiple games where there’s three same idiots who kept cycling planes back and forth. Absolutely dumb af. Sometimes it’s just the same player, usually veterans taking advantage of having multiple pilot squads, cycling over and over.
The decline of Enlisted goes like this, we went from a time in which paratroopers were once somehow considered overpowered, to now having jets that can wipeout multiple paratrooper transports before they can even drop a single soldier. And somehow everyone is okay with that. And of course, the ability to wipeout the point so easily is ridiculous. Any map that is slightly open has become extremely toxic to play for infantry players. Airfield map was already shitty enough, now it’s cancer.

Jets don’t bother me near as much as the constant barrage of artillery. I lose far more squads to artillery then I do from any aircraft attack.

My hatred for jets know no bounds, this game would’ve been so much better off without them.

I down them all the time with planes, especially japan planes, and sometimes fight fire with fire …
Maybe there could be a bigger reward for downing them, making them a high value target

This answer may offset your concerns, but in a worse way.
Allies have no other jets that can be classified as attacker, but I have reason to suspect that Germany and Japan will receive jet attacker.
The situation of Soviets is the worst, they didn’t have any jets during WW II. The Su-9 was already manufactured in 1946.
Yes indeed, artillery should be the one with more limitations. Idiot players dropping shells on point while you are trying to take the point and they are sitting 200 m away watching through binoculars … I have seen it several times

You guys picked it! Think about how thrilled the development team will be when they nerf the tech tree vehicles—it’ll boost F-80 sales even more. In a little while, they’ll listen to the players and nerf the F-80 too, just to roll out an even more overpowered new jet.
This is wrong in every possible way. They should never have added jets to Enlisted—it was a mistake. Maybe if it had been something like a special event, similar to Market Garden, it could’ve been cool. But we’re talking about the huge disadvantages between jets.
Damn, man, I’ve seen the American premium jet in action, the way it turns is insane. It literally defies the laws of physics . Have you noticed how the jet dives at over 700 km/h and then just pulls up like nothing happened, without even using air brakes? It feels extremely light—nothing like the Soviet or German jets.
And then Germany gets a Me 262 with a 50mm cannon 
come on, seriously? Meanwhile, the U.S. gets two 1000 lb bombs and a jet that easily reaches 730 km/h hahaha.
This problem really needs to be fixed already.

I have a few names that are very well known. They show up at least 12 times using planes, and they take turns—those guys are really something.
One of them spawns in with the premium jet, we shoot him down. Then he comes back with the Meteor, we shoot him down.
His teammate spawns with the premium jet, we shoot him down. Then he comes back with the Meteor, we shoot him down.
Then the first guy comes back again with the premium jet… and they keep doing this for the entire match.
Honestly, it’s extremely annoying. They don’t know how to do anything other than use planes. I’ve watched them on the ground and they have zero skill with weapons .

I agree with you, brother. If they had only added it as an event like Market Garden and then removed it afterward, it would’ve been great.
