Optimal slots to balance F2P

[Adamnpee]

Restrict assaulters is completely pointless, there’s lot of full auto equivalents for other classes.

[SKWID22]

And soon they will run with 3 paratroopers per-lineup.

I don’t think that f2p should have the extra slots, I think we could unlock those, this way the game isn’t even more overwhelming to newcomers at the same time battle hardened players can put their experience at show with the extra slots they unlock later on.

Also, it would be a disaster to any team that has a new player stealing all the vehicle slots without being able to efficiently use them.

Yeah, that’s a good suggestion, I’ll have to agree with this one.

People ALREADY run with multiple flamethrower and assaulter squads. That’s one of my primary issues with the current lack of restrictions.

There’s one problem with such restriction, for soviets, of course, no SMG or AR spam so restrict assaulters, for Germany restrict assaulters and leave their MGs? Or restrict MGs too and Soviet MGs that are way weaker are restricted also? And about american M2 Carbine? Restrict such a basic class?

Leave the player make their choices and use you own choices to counter them.

[Adamnpee]

Such restrictions would only put legacy players with Stalingrad engeneers squads in better position.

Trying to restrict things like full auto weapons is nonsense. It would only kill the game.
But it’s complete waste of time to even discuss it, since it’s so unrealistic there’s no way devs would do something like that.

It’s a complete waste of time because they said clearly they don’t intend to give F2P access to extra slots

Answering your questions!

[image] Greetings, commanders. We’ve collected quite a few great questions on various platforms, and we want to answer them and tell you about our plans for the near future of Enlisted. While doing so we even changed a few of our own opinions on the game! ANSWERING Q: Do the developers ever plan to head into modern combat/wars? A. There are no such plans for Enlisted in the near future. Right now we want to complete the major redesign of the game. It’s a very time-consuming and difficult pro…

@ChuchaDrucha

Q: Is there any plan to add a vehicle slot for F2P Players? The game is essentially P2W free with the sole exception of F2P having to pick between Planes and Ground Vehicles. Which leads to situations where they cannot compete.

A. Not planned. We want to keep the game’s infantry/vehicle balance, and since most players have 3 infantry slots and only 1 vehicle slot, this guarantees that balance.

The limitations ARE necessary. Otherwise its nothing but swarms of those exact squads repeatedly.

@GuardianReaper0

Eh…
I think the game should not restrict this too much - otherwise, You’d need some kind of logic to explain why this restriction is present. Which most likely will go down to yet another discussion of a typical squad/platoon/army force composition about a certain time in world war 2.

I think it’s better to leave it to the player, as @Comunistinha said:

@Comunistinha

Leave the player make their choices and use you own choices to counter them.

If he/she wants to play the same class over and over - let them.
I have to admit, that current objective placement mostly favors smgs, for better or worse. Carefully designing map objectives tends to be a tough job.
Besides, in most shooters SMGs are the most popular choice.
Even if it may be boring to try the same thing over and over for most folks, some do have a… habit, of sorts, with SMGs, and I don’t think it is a good idea to deprive the players of it.

That’s what they said about slots for premium squad before as well.
But it’s completely hilarious you think I am not aware of this statement.

[Blogaugis]

They may not intend to do so now, but that doesn’t mean that it is set in stone.
We can try to bring it up from time to time. Sometime in the future. As more vehicles as equipment will appear in game.
Maybe new mechanics will appear, that makes the old approach obviously unfair, and more posts will appear in forum.

So, we’ll see.

[XxNelsonSHxX]

Americans with 4 squad of “Rifleman” with M2 carbines :^)

[Kweek]

Just make the extra slots buyable without having premium. Done.

[Aleksandriks]

@GuardianReaper0

Infantry slots restrict heavy weapons squads and assaulter squads. This means that you cannot take 2 of the same type of heavy weapon (MG, Flamethrower, AT launcher), or multiple assaulter squads.
Essentially limiting the player to one of each type of heavy weapon squad and assaulter if they so choose.

Thanks, but as a f2p, I’d rather play with 1 vehicle slot than this crap.

@GuardianReaper0

• Flamethrowers- or *alternate squad
• AT Squad- or *alternate squad
• MG squad- or *alternate squad
• Assaulters- or *alternate squad
• Plane
• Tank

@GuardianReaper0

Squads that use standard rifles as their primary weapons or that only one of such squad exists will not be restricted.

Great… 3 riflemen squad with m2/fg42 and engineers with m2/fg42(or after big update stalingrad engineers with mkb42)

[VoyoMayPL]

I agree that f2p should have a 4th infantry and 2nd vehicle slot.
While the current state is enough to acheave a balanced gameplay, it’s also very limiting. Players are more encouraged to take meta squads instead of fun squads because they are put into disadvantage. (Players are penalised for having fun!)

2nd vehicle slot.

But that’s the whole point of building your Squad deck. I don’t ever feel like I’m at a “disadvantage” because I made the choice of what to bring to battle just like everyone else

[Cougy]

Sounds like DF should apply for 501-C3 status, because these f2p think they are a charity.

[Adamnpee]

So you’re not in disadvantage when you can’t pick both plane and tank, while I can take 3 tanks and 3 planes of my liking. And rotating only them.

Okay, lmfao.

Who is LMFAO

[Wieloglow]

Thats true, but most of the players (70- 80 % - I dont know) dont have a premium account, and very soon distance between F2P and paying players will increase. First off - people who bought Stalingrad will get +3 slots for German and Soviet army. Second - they plan to give an extra slots for premium squads.

The game goes too much into P2W direction.

[GiltBurrito7238-live]

I don’t see that as some insurmountable challenge, you can be destroyed just like everything else.

[Adamnpee]

That’s intellectual dishonesty that is completely avoiding my point but okay, whatever.

If you are okay with your 4 slots, let it be. It will change a nothing for me. I will keep farming people like yourself.

At now 3 tanks doesn’t look very useful, but after big update…
