I didn’t want to go into historical accuracy, just pointing out that some of us have fun shooting bots as well.
It’s a matter of content, if more content is added it won’t matter that you have to unlock mp-38 multiple times.
And that is what Enlisted delivers for majority us. It’s not fully accurate, the opposite, it has manny flaws when it comes to accuracy.
But is is authentic enough to bring the players who wanted exactly that to the game.
What you are proposing has nothing to do with “balance between history and fun”. It is a complete denial of history to create F2P copy of other “WW2” titles.
War Thunder couples (somewhat) historical performances, with totally unhistorical and anachronistic matchmaking.
Agreed, that is my take. It’s one way to go about it. You can still use history to balance out the game.
It would be a F2P copy of other WW2 titles, exactly, with a unique take of controlling your bot squad and other features that are in the game.
I would prefer them to take this route than see this game die. Nothing is stopping them from maintaining campaigns for those who love history.
Combining campaigns into fronts could also be a great way, yet still would impact historical accuracy, but perhaps not as much.
There are major benefits in sacrificing historical accuracy in such a way;
- Progression carryover across campaigns.
- Matchmaking stay united with release of new campaigns.
Because in the arcade view of the game, campaigns are simply new maps. Since several factions can participate in it.
Which got nerfed.
Cause people get tired of ahistorical WW2 games. We have more than enough of them and they (mostly) suck hard.
(Cod with zombies… woke sjw battlefield… Ah, how those franchises have fallen…)
But we can’t even play against bots in setting we want. 6 bots take it or leave it
How about a T80U in Tunisia, is that better for you?
The devs just thanos hammered all of your tank jokes literally a day after.
Hope you’re enjoying the new event
It’s just a matter of balancing the game with timeline / BR style matchmaking.
You have T80Us rolling around in Tunisia now as Russians fighting off USA troops.
They are already testing out the type of matchmaking that will save this game
I’m laughing my ass off with this event coming out literally a day after all this trolling about tanks.
There is nothing in that event that suggests mixed timelines and BR matchmaking…
You just got total mix of assetes from different Darkflow game, Cuisine Royale, mixed even more with tanks form WT (that game also has magic and zombies, maybe you are interested in that too?)
And all of that placed in the least characteristic maps from all we have in Enlisted. Really, without British and Italian forces and the whole historical atmosphere it can be just a random desert, not Tunesia. The same building and scenery assets are successfully serving as Mexico in Cuisine Royale, so my point is proven here.
So most likely devs are just checking if there is interest in modern campaigns for the future. But sure, maybe if it comes you will be able to create your fantasy playground in Custom Battles.
You have to admit it’s quite hilarious for this event to release literally a day after people making jokes about Panther Gs being in Tunisia.
Many have trolled me regarding this, I guess Gaijin decided to troll you guys back
Suggestions like yours were brought in this forum many times before and the same jokes were made.
You are really over exaggerating the importance of what you posted. From what we learned słońce CAT nad CBT it is very likely that none of the devs even saw that. And it even more absurd to think that they started this event to “troll us”.
Still, nothing there that would even slightly suggest mixed fractions, timelines and BR rating.
it can be in Tunisia…in custom match that is…
I don’t doubt there are many players sharing my opinion, as a matter of fact I would say the majority of the average players. The ones that don’t really browse forums and just enjoy the game for what it is.
I just find the timing of this implementation hilarious. Literally a day after.
Hahahahahahaah.
wow. you very likely have no evidence, you likely have no actual reason to believe this, and yet you are this confident that the majority of players agree with you. mebbe you should ask them or let them speak for themselves, as opposed to presuming yourself to be able to speak for the majority of the playerbase with any remote level of accuracy.
i think that the majority of ppl who agree with this kind of idea are the ones fresh out of CoD, but i digress
Ask the devs to make a poll in the game and let’s find out.
I am sure that the majority do not enjoy unlocking the same crap because Germany is featured in 4 different campaigns.
Or the fact that every campaign is splitting up the playerbase. They will be adding more campaigns? Great, I wonder what the que times will be when there’s 8 of them.
It’s literally common sense.
Big words big words…
Big words that coming up true
Took 2 years for devs finally realize the progression system is heavily flawed.
The more campaigns they add, the more obvious the issue becomes.
Moreover, I predict they will have a mode in which several factions can fight on the same side (ie, US + USSR + Brits vs Italians + Germans)
