Recommendation for More Accurate Indian Representation in the Burma Campaign

Dear Enlisted Development Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing as a long-time player and admirer of Enlisted, especially its efforts to portray World War II battles with historical depth and visual authenticity.

After reviewing the current state of the Burma Campaign, I would like to offer a historical accuracy suggestion regarding the composition of the British Indian Army. As widely documented by historians, the British Indian Army that fought in Burma consisted overwhelmingly of Indian soldiers. In most front-line formations—especially within the Fourteenth Army under General William Slim—Indian troops made up approximately 80–90% of the manpower, with the remainder including British officers, technical specialists, and Gurkha units.

Because of this, the overwhelming majority of soldiers encountered in the Burma Campaign would have had Indian facial features. To better reflect the historical reality of 1941–1945, I kindly recommend increasing the proportion of Indian character models to match the authentic demographic ratio. A representation of at least 90% Indian faces would greatly enhance the accuracy and immersion of the campaign and honor the contributions of the soldiers who formed the true backbone of the Allied effort in Burma.

Enlisted has consistently demonstrated its commitment to historical detail, and I believe this adjustment would further strengthen that legacy.

Thank you for your continued work on the game, and for considering this refinement. I look forward to future updates and improvements.

Whilst I support the message (Nr 1 Commonwealth advocate on the forums), this isn’t a suggestion, and thus it should be moved to Mess Room.

It was a huge tradgedy that we got a Burma update, but literally zero content for the Commonwealth to go along with it.

Now, we just have US marines fighting in a British colony, with only token Commonwealth representation (wearing temperate European uniforms, not even tropical uniforms). That’s the real life Burma Campaign in a nutshell, am I right?

The British barely have representation but the Burmese Maps without a single Indian squad in the game was never great and at least more indian faces would be good. I’d like to see some squads for other Commonwealth Nations as well, ANZAC have a few but more would be nice.
