My skill issue?

So, I’ve been playing Enlisted for a week now and rarely got any victories, I’ve been losing all the time. I’ve noticed that the enemy team has got way more experienced people. I don’t really think it’s about balance, more about me or our team, but I could clearly see enemy advantage.

Which side and what campaign you playing?

Wanna win all the time? try moscow allies. Other good options are normandy axis or berlin allies.

Lol. It was for the OP, not you, sorry.

key part to winning is building rally points, so always have engineer in you squad. most of your team will not be building them (cause they are either bad or bots). just this will up you win %, by some 10-20%. also choosing campaign/side with more human players will help with winning.

I’m having the same issue as well, not just you. I found myself not winning many games anymore because I get paired up with low ranked/bad players that: 1) Don’t attack/defend the objective, and 2) never listen to the people trying to arrange the team in chat such as; “flank that way” and “mark enemies, I’m in the plane”. Stuff like this helps people win, but I never see any of this ever working. To answer your thread, I don’t think it may be a skill issue, but a team match making issue. I average about 100+ kills per game and still lose horribly because of the “non-working” ranked system. I noticed the the ranks can only mean one of two things; the player is really good, or really bad. Such as some players with the Marshal rank, they’re really bad, but that may be because they’re not playing their main campaign. or their just really bad. Your skill shouldn’t lead you to losing the game but your team. In conclusion, Skill doesn’t play a major factor if your team is bad, but the ranked system doesn’t work how we thought it would. Hope this helped answer your question.

All beginning is diffucult.
Just keep playing.
You will get better, your soldiers will get better, your weapons will get better, your verhicles will get better, you will know the maps better…
At some point you will notice you win more than you loose.
Don’t forget: many of your enemies are already there, that’s why you loose now.

Good luck soldier!

The matchmaking is quite odd, so it might be that you just got bad luck and were put in shitty teams.
My beginner advice is to have an engineer in each squad, always build rally points near objectives, do not run straight into machine gun or artillery fire and always try to flank

ranks dont have anything to do with skill. you just need to grind and not desert and you will end up with marshal. also bots also have rank (maybe there exist some with marshal rank, but i havent been paying attention to them).

I know that ranks don’t mean skill, but the time you have to play the game in general. The ranks should be based on skill, and objectives you complete in game, other than just winning. I know that you get “rank points” when you win a game, however you get points when you get a battle hero reward. I mean, the ranks are kinda skill based, but typically, time based imo. The ranked system needs to be fixed so you get queued with other players in your skill range through the rank you have. For example, to go up a rank, you would have to follow the battle pass objectives, or kill/strategic based skills. These would include kills inside or strategic zone, fortification destroyed, rally points destroyed, and kdr. therefore, making the game more balanced in terms of queueing/match making. These would make the ranks make a lot more sense imo. Just to clarify, people with high ranks could still be bad at the game, and just rely on luck to get their higher ranks, because I know there would be someone like that.

rank is empty placeholder that they introduced in last update. there is no game mechanism tied to rank for now.

also there is not enough playerbase to have any matchmaking, specially not skill based one. ffs they try so hard to mask bots ingame cause of that reason. now MM works first come first served and max time to wait 1 minute. so if you are unlucky you can be only human player in both teams.

and also before skilled based MM, they would first need to introduce level based MM so maxed out players dont sealclub new players.

I do see what you mean there, and I didn’t think about that. But, a solution to fixing that would be just by placing the high ranked player in the lower ranked games if they couldn’t find a game for the higher ranked player to be queued with the other higher ranked players. Another way I can see them implementing “more fair” games would be by the player’s level. The higher the level the player is in that campaign, he would be queued with other players in around the same campaign level to keep the equipment, and players’ skill balanced.

like i said it is small playerbase and what is worse it is split between 5 campaigns and 3 server regions and match is made every minute. for any kind of MM you need to have big enough playerbase to oversaturate that minute mark by few times. or you should wait over 5-10 minutes to find proper match (and people usually dont want to wait 5-10 minutes for match).
