So what is this about?

Now i dont post on any forums in my life but enlisted is one of those games where i wanna know something especially others people view on this game and share my experience with others…

This game can be fun indeed
the first time i started playing the game (USA) ( pre merge) i was just hating the tanks
I found it really annoying that usa tanks need to place several shots just to kill any german tank that can just one tap you ( yea indeed with well placed shot you can kill a tank )
So i decided to grind planes i found planes kinda weird to handle i expected its gonna be more related to war thunder but it was just enough to keep me hooked now yes i am the player who doesnt spawn on the start of the round and waits for a plane for me infantry ( I hope thats the way you type it lol)
is really boring but thats mostly from the really bad AI

Now ive seen some people saying that the game should be made in a way where you supposed to find a way to win ( something related to balance problems dont really remember ) but honestly that just sounds like a cheap excuse ( no offense to anyone who wrote that ) in a way i do understand that but when you see smg weapons are just better in every way possible thats just wrong in my eyes

people used to talk about bolt action rifles that its a one hit kill you can deal with that yes, yes indeed you can but who wants to play only smg or bolt action rifles i dont blame players who dont wanna play engineer since shotguns and bolt action rifles are just boring after some time ( and especially the fact someone just sniped your ass with a smg or MG44 ? (lmg) i think thats the name of it not sure

now back to where was i Tanks i played a lot of tanks / planes after the merge and Tanks as people know camp in the zone that soldiers cannot go to ( alright smart move) but i dont really do that i found it boring so i always push with others find a good spot where is most of my team and support them

Yet there is always that one player who runs with TNT in his hands AI or players dont give a single fuck that there is one german running in a traight line for several meters and still throws a tnt on my tank and destroys it or either that one german tank that no one marked that will always one tap your ass no matter where he hits you

with planes Now i would like to place an idea in here remove the crosshair where you should aim in planes
fights at least thats what i assume would be more intense i used a fair share of P38 but now im more stuck to Dauntless ( i really do enjoy that 1000lb bomb) and when there is a BF 109 or any decent fighter plane you just gonna eat shit ( not much of a chance even when you trying to dodge left and right just to survive extra 5 seconds ) and the gunners are a different story you can evade yes but … idk never seen anyone actually escape someone in a fight only when they have a much faster plane but thats obv

This game is fun and always will be to just enjoy the shitfest that happens time to time on the map but it does sometimes drives me crazy haha

now i hope someone didnt got really pissed from what i shared here if thats the case i can just remove it ( at least i hope)

and since i am already here i really wanna know how do you guys see this game not the future or the past but now how it feels to you.

Thank you in advance

for me the gameplay is very shallow, very mindless and too fast, as you say, it’s best to arm everyone with smg and thus dominate the entire game, I hope that over time the developers will implement some mechanics that will filter out this type of gameplay style as the most effective, or they will redesign the entire game, I really REALLY don’t like the meta of this game. It’s a waste of a good game!

Same.
Enlisted is like a sandbox in the park with all the shiny toys you may want, but also with a lot of cats’ poo and urine.

The crosshair you want to remove is why dodging left/right/up/down even works!

Good pilots do not aim just at that crosshair because it is just a momentary report of where the target plane is pointed. But a good pilot will see that the plane is just shaking its nose up and down while mostly flying in a straight line, and so you fire as if it actually flew in a straight line rather than falling for the crosshair.

Now let’s say the lead marker crosshair is removed.

Pilots will ONLY be able to rely on the information which, at the moment, is predominantly used by experienced pilots. Once players have adapted to this, you’ll be shred to bits even more consistently than you currently are.

So, to conclude: The lead marker evens out the playing field by helping new players aim on the one hand, and on the other, misleading intermediate and even good pilots to reduce their accuracy.

It needs to stay in the game.

I have a feeling people ranting about removing lead indicator are the type to want to pull up a ladder behind themselves (now that they got some practice with the lead indicator and roughly know where to shoot) and just want new players to be completely harmless to them

It’s a very important thing for new players to have some way to actually learn by playing. Also, the leading indicator is often half bait anyway (it seems slightly desynced, depending on lag too)
And I’m sorry, but currently you can’t really see your own tracers in air all that well too

Alright thanks for the response

I actually had no idea that the marker works like that
Since when i started the dog fights were simple just aim at the crosshair and easily get a kill ( probably mostly because of 20mm cannons just kill everything)

didnt saw a post about removing the indicator yet so if thats the case my bad

My plan is not really to fucked new players with that tbh it just felt like fights could be somewhat more interesting

since as i said before when i have p38 and even dont use 20mm cannons it does feel like the crosshair gives you a much of a helping hand i just aim at it shoot there enemy dead or on fire etc

i had no idea the marker workes like that to begin with

so yea sorry for that part then
