It would be nice to be able to have both a melee attack with a melee block mechanic creating a new atmosphere of hand to hand combat in game!

I think it would be better if melee attacks weren’t so fast and rapid fire, allowing somebody to run through an entire squad of soldiers in seconds, knifing them as they go.
There should be an animation that lasts a second or two forcing them to stop and kill the first person before moving on to the next.
Maybe if you’ve got a bayonet on a rifle you could attempt a parry, but there aren’t really any fencing matches going on in the trenches

Would be extremely anticlimactic and not effective in current fast paced Enlisted.
The outcome would be pretty simple: Not a single person would be bothered to use melee at all.

If the animation was cool enough people might enjoy it: like a reward for getting the kill
If it reduced the number of people attempting to melee that’s fine too, it’s really not something you see on the battlefield; and currently it’s really too arcadey.

Personally just need a melee overhaul because it is kind of funky right now especially with bots.
Pretty much everything in Enlisted is. And I don’t think it’s something bad, quite opposite. It’s very enjoyable and comfortable to play basically for anyone.
Making melee basically just pretty rare situational immersive reward really isn’t good idea.
And I am not fan of block/counter mechanic neither, it was pure cancer in BF4. I think the current state of melee is pretty okay.
The only thing I would change is AI reaction on you. It happens so often enemy bots are completely ignoring you until you start shooting.
The only exception is when you touch them with your “body”. They immediately melee you with super sonic speed. It’s very broken behavior in need of change.

Many things actually need smoother animations. Like…grenade launchers reloading (especially panzerfaust lol)
Imo we could have sth similar to what BF4 did.
Melee kills would have short 1-2s animation and if you are facing the atacker, you can counter his strike and kill him instead.
Easy, fast, cool looking.

Again melee overhaul and ai fix first but not opposed.
It won’t be easy to make a convinсingly looking mechanic of bayonet parry. Bayonet fencing is art, and most of the soldiers weren’t taught to fence with it.
