Hi there, sorry for the post but I was only playing with germany up till yesterday and I thought let me try the russians, well I’m level 5 now and I can tell you that the russian AI squad mates are very dumb compare to the german ones. Maybe is just me seeing .

Bot competence is based somewhat on their individual levels. Around soldier level (not your own level) 3 or 4 they get noticeably not as terrible, but still not great.
The Russian playerbase is a lower level on average because Germany was more popular from the getgo and the resulting low winrates continue to drive away Russia mains.
aa right ok now I understand
by the way that I’m still here, any updates on when this CBT is ending?
“soon”
but I hope not soon, as in the current state of the game it is DOA (dead on arrival)

Really needs some updates for AI, and various broken weapons and mechanics - I hope we get to see them and test them a bit before any open testing.

another thing I have noticed, the germans win all the time, very wierd lol
is becoming really annoying you can’t play with RUssia, it’s impossible to win. perhaps I should stop playing and just wait for the next update see what happens.
And this is how the game died before even becomming available for public

Like I said, the Germans win all the time because they were the more popular from the getgo.
-
Because they’re the more popular from the getgo, they have the higher level players as well as more premium squads, which caused the winrate to first tilt in their favor.
-
Because the winrate tilted in their favor, it discouraged some Russia mains from continuing to play, and attracted tryhards who want an easy win to main Germany
-
Because of the experienced Russia players who stopped playing and the increased number of tryhards on the German team, it further lowered the Russian winrate, bringing us back to repeat steps 2 and 3 indefinitely.
The solution to this is to put an end to 1v1 queues by implementing a War Thunder type matchmaking system, which can be done by changing to year-based campaigns: Base campaigns on years
FWIW I play Russians because this is a test - and it needs players to play both sides to get data.
It had better be useful or I’ll be persisted!! (and sure it is more fun to win, but that’s not the purpose of playing for me)
If you just treat it like a game then yeah, you’d only ever play to win and that means playing Axis.
I’ve always been an anti-meta hipster, despising the easy-win strategies and everyone who uses them (if I could start a community-wide blacklist of every MP-41 user, I would go further and throw in people who’ve unlocked the Panzer III but still use the II), so I use Russia even though I would rather use Germany if the player bases were equal.

Well this will be fixed so no problem, but overall is a very nice build game, it has great potential and is just CBT so before release it should be alright. I will continue to play and if they need support I would support them, financially as in if they will have a shop etc items for your squad.
That would be asuming the devs plan on fixing it.
They haven’t fixed it in the past half year, so why would they do so while they are working hard on making Normandy as fucked as Moscow so they can earn money off it and push the game to OBT?
And Gaijin has a history of wasting potential.
War thunder could be bigger than world of tanks, but it is not
Crossout could have been the mainstream build/fight game, but it never was and is dying already.
I myself honestly can not recommend Enlisted in it’s current state to my friends or fellow content creators.
They are not dumber, their weapons are just weaker

Depends on what you equip them with.
Your rifles still do more damage and overal are the best weapons to equip AI with.
when I say weapons, I mean SMG’s which are mostly used on these small maps. Also my rifles do more damage but reload in normal speed (except winchester, that thing is broken lol). I do play both sides and I can see the problem. Most players who only play one side think it is just the playerbase, but weapons are a much bigger factor and making the maps larger will fix this. Also, you don’t have to say your rifles, I don’t want to take sides

Reload/cycle speeds don’t matter much with current AI aggro gain rates. They will never fire the rifle at max rate of fire after all.

Even so, rifle doesn’t rule the battlefield in Enlisted, SMG does
Depends whether you want the AI to get kills, or you yourself to get kills.
Giving all your soldiers a rifle secondary helped me at least, as the AI prefers to select the secondary weapon.
Before last wipe I could have my squad to get like 15 kills in addition to my own kills
