Making Enlisted a Better Place №50: Golden Jubilee

Still waiting for the ability to double stack sandbags to come back. MG nests are a joke without it.

I tought this meant adding an option to scroll-zoom using mouse scroll instead of switching magnification power between only 2 options. As it is now, it is uncomfortable for the eyes to switch between minimum zoom and maximum zoom in 0.01 s. Please at least bring back the slower zoom (about 0.5s long) so that we can keep track of what is going in the whole field of view when we are switching the magnification.

BTW, what does " Golden Jubilee" means? Is enlisted celebrating anything?

Can we please ask for an optional vignette around the sight for tanks and cannons? I know you removed it but it was already small before and it was a very nice visual effect that improved immersion and aesthetics. Now with it removed, the sights feel just dull. And every other popular game with tanks has some vignette, War Thunder as well. If not everyone likes it, just add the option in graphic settings to turn it on or off.

Examples from other games - BF V (these are especially cool with this dirt at the edges):

HLL

Squad:

and Enlisted - before the vignette was removed. It would be so nice to have it back. It did not obscure the view at all!

A golden jubilee is a celebration of a 50th anniversary, so I think it’s just a joke about this being the 50th MEABP update

If you know about other, non-obvious issues with the weapons in our game - please let us know!

Could probably write an entire star wars opening crawl just about inaccuracies, but I’ll stay with the ones that annoy me the most

-Inconsistent sight pictures
most guns in the game have their sight pictures far too close to the camera, on the Japanese pistols for example Type 94 is teeth endangering close while the other pistols are fine.
The sweetspot imo is the distance the Verdun/Tannenberg games use for their guns.
See this post about the Arisakas as well:

-Garand Ping on Japanese SLRs
Why on earth do all the Japanese SLRs (except the Otsu) play a Garand ping noise when you eject the magazine?

-Always the same scope reticle
Not sure how this is so heavily overlooked but a lot of guns just use a German #1 reticle when they shouldn’t.
See this post for more detail on Japanese reticles:

-Incorrect Rate of Fire
This one can be both attributed to wrong sources I guess, there are a bunch of guns with incorrect RoF.
For example the “sniper” MKb firing at 650rpm for some reason while the normal one fires at the correct 500, Thompson M1 firing at 800rpm even tho it should be 700 and my personal Type 100/40 firing 450 when it should be 700 (see this post for more detail on the last one):

-Pistol holds
Two handed pistol holds weren’t taught outside the IJN (and even there it was more a mix of one and two handed) during WW2

-Wrong names
A ton of guns just have wrong names for some reason, there’s far too many to list (check the Enlisted imfdb page for more)
But a personal one: Japanese “MP28” should be Sig M1920 and the “Sig M1920” should be Type BE

-Missing Bayonets
A few rifles currently lack bayonets, examples being M1917 Enfield, P14 Enfield, Winchester M1895

-Misplaced Bayonets in main menu
A bunch of bayonets aren’t correctly aligned with the guns in the menu preview, examples being Type 38 carbine, Type 100 paratrooper rifle

-Quiet cycling sounds
A few rifles have very quiet cycling sounds, especially annoying on the Winchester 1895

-Type 100 GL missing Bayonet
To mount the Type 100 grenade launcher you have to attach the bayonet on the gun, without it the launcher isn’t properly secured in place.

-Missing Ammunition on Emplaced guns
Pretty much all of the machine guns don’t have their ammunition belts/strips in them, very noticeable on the Type 92 MMG.

-Grenade animations
Do I even have to say anything? Pretty much non of the Grenades have proper animations let alone case specific anims (Type 97 fuze gets triggered by hitting it for example).

-Model 2 (“Type 2a” ingame) wrongly closed bolt
Lastly the Model 2 SMG is wrongly depicted as a closed bolt gun, it should be open bolt.
For some reason the Model 1 (“Type 1” ingame) is already correctly open bolt but not the Model 2 which is based on the Model 1.

They taught and used both stances in the US army

Interesting, what about the Marines?

  • Weapon Suggestion

The Springfield M1903A1 USMC should be renamed, as it is just a Springfield M1903A1 with “C Stock”. The Springfield M1903A1 with C Stock was used by Marines, but not as much as the version of Springfield pictured below :

The Springfield pictured above looks similar to the Springfield 1903 in game but the main visible differences are the rear of the stock and the front sight ring. This is the version of Springfield most used by the Marines during the Pacific War.

I’m not sure about the marines, but as a bonus, here’s a photo of some Germans shooting pistols from a two handed stance:

How commonly did the Germans use the two handed stance? I’ve only read something along the lines of “yes some stances have been around but they were never as widespread as the one handed”

Here’s a pic of the IJN two handed stance btw, IJA also trained it during the 30s but abandoned it by WW2.

Allow the premium German medic squad in Stalingrad to customize uniforms or at the very least their faces

Also if you could update the premium machine gun squads to carry the belt drums added to the paratroopers instead of the rifle pouches they currently have equipped

From what I’m aware, the single handed stance seemed much more popular at the time. I’m not opposed to them switching the stance, I’d like to see both in-game personally

Probably more than 3rd. And yes it’s weird. When you Google (mp 38 “fly”) you get 0 matches with anything mentioning “fly”.

That’s exactly the case. If nobody knows what it is, why is it there?

They did, but were not random words or letters, they had to mean something. The year, the factory, the contract number or something else.

Let’s google “MP 38 markings”:

I don’t see any “FLY” anywhere

Ian McCollum’s MP-38 doesn’t have any Flies either

This pictire only appears on Baltic Antique website without any sources

__
I mean, it’s not a game breaking bug but if 99.999% of MP-38 pictures don’t have any “FLY” then why does ours have to have this weird “FLY”?

When did Germany ever put three letter codes for dates?
They just put the year afaik
image

Only Erma and Haenel made MP-38s according to Ian McCollum.

Then why would it be stamped on the top part of the gun?

Maybe it’s not the developer’s nickname indeed. Looks like a Baltic dev just went to a Baltic website and copied the random markings.

But I still don’t see why we need those unsubstantiated markings on the game’s model.

Also this looks very weird and dare I say tasteless.
“334” in weird color and in a weird place.

Did Jagdpanthers ever have their numbers on the last shurzen? Why would they if it can be easily lost?
All the Jagdpanthers I’ve seen had numbers on the hull and in proper German ww2 font, not this.

According to Liste der Fertigungskennzeichen fuer Waffen, Munition und Geraet (Karl R. Pawlas), a collection of the codes considered to be one of the best, most in-depth collections, there was the following dates assigned to specific code groups:

Letter Groups Date of Edition
a-z and aa-zz October 1941 1940
aaa-azz November 1940
baa-bzz February 1941
caa-czz March 1941
daa-dzz April 1941
eaa-ezz May 1941
faa-fzz June 1941
gaa-gzz July 1941
haa-hzz August 1941
jaa-jzz September 1941
kaa-kzz June 1942
laa-lzz September 1943
maa-mzz December 1943
naa-nzz August 1944
oaa-ozz October 1944

From this list, we can find “FLY” in the FAA-FZZ category; those letters were assigned for June 1941, suggesting then that the weapon was also made around that period.

In both the images MovMav provided, and in the game, the date on the rear of the gun is also 1941, corroborating this.

Now, the 94/615 part was harder to find information on, but the 94 did trace back to two potential locations; an ammunition manufacture, and the potential manufacture I provided in the first place. I figured it probably wouldn’t be the ammunition manufacturer, so I went with the other one.

And yes, Erma/Haenel ultimately made the MP-38, but they still used parts manufactured by others. Like if you bought a Sony TV, some parts will be from China, others Korea, some from Europe etc, and then it’s all put together in a Sony factory and sold as a Sony product. The same can be said for guns in WWII; different manufacturers made different parts, and then one specific manufacture put it all together and sold the guns. Of course later in the war I have no doubt they streamlined the process a bit, and reduced how many different parts had to be moved between factories and so on. According to one MP-38 owner on a random forum I found, his MP-38 has over 14 different serial numbers for different parts made by different companies.

It’s not entirely unsubstantiated; the numbers do make sense and were on some real weapons. Why they put it on this model in-game I don’t know, but it’s really not that big a deal and not worth such hassle of changing it.

Hopefully this makes sense.

What do you mean saying these markings unsubstantiated? MP 38 is mass produced gun that may come with uniqie markings and other differences. Ian McCollum also reviewed M1 Garand and M1 Carbine, Carcanos, Japan rifles… Cmon, let’s delete all the real markings that were shown in Enlisted, but they are not the same as on the gun that was shown on Forgotten Weapons.

So answer to your question

This is not a mistake, but a variant of the norm.
