Suggestions for Improving BR5 Matches in Enlisted

I believe significant changes are needed for BR5 matches in Enlisted. These matches have become increasingly frustrating, filled with overwhelming firepower exchanges that leave no room for hope or enjoyment. Such an environment is gradually eroding my passion for the game. Currently, the firepower in BR5 has reached a historically unrealistic level, with both sides relying heavily on fully automatic, high-powered weapons. Tanks are destroyed almost immediately after respawning, which further adds to the frustration.

  1. Reduce the Number of Real Players in BR5 Matches
    Introducing more AI soldiers instead of real players could significantly lower the overall firepower density. Real players tend to have more complete unit compositions and play more aggressively. Reducing the number of real players could improve the experience for the losing side, as no one enjoys getting blown up by mines or rockets immediately after redeploying. As I’ve mentioned in previous posts, increasing rewards for the losing side could also help reduce firepower intensity. The game is meant to be relaxing; players shouldn’t feel compelled to be overly focused or resort to extreme tactics just to secure a win.
  2. Limit the Number of High-End Weapons Allowed in BR5
    Implement restrictions on the number of advanced weapons players can bring into BR5 matches.
  • Each player’s assault squads could be limited to carrying a maximum of 4 STG44s, with the remaining infantry equipped with semi-automatic rifles.
  • Machine gun squads could be limited to 2 machine guns, with no more than 5 machine guns across all squads in a player’s lineup.Such weapon restrictions could help lower the firepower density and create a more balanced gameplay experience.

While these suggestions may not be perfect, they provide a starting point for Gaijin’s development team to consider. The goal is to make BR5 matches more enjoyable for all players, fostering a less stressful and more engaging environment.

defenders need TIME to reposition

I suggest they should make capture zones just overall bigger specifically for BR V battles. Instead of trying to capture those funny two story houses in Normandy, to mention an example, we should be capturing wide zones of the map. The same way it works in Big Action mode. Urban maps work best for this as we could be defending entire blocks and rows of houses instead of a single building or a little circle on the ground. I also think it’s ridiculous the amount of firepower involved fighting such small objectives.

I want to see more powerful equipment from WW2 as much as everyone else, things like ISU-152, Sturmtiger, bombers with big payload, etc, but the current design for the objectives is not good. And I’d rather not see anymore overpowered equipment until this is addressed. But I guess we’re in the minority here.

limiting the amount of BR V weapons in BR V match is just, I don’t know, VERY stupid?

I was playing some V earlier today. Seems all the good vets already abandoned the Allies cause I had 2 utterly garbage teams and one that only won cause I was there to force us to win
It’s some rough stuff

I think what you need is to make a custom game
A high-level environment should look like a high-level environment
I would rather be a tool in a high-level environment that can only help teammates build respawn points, place smoke, and complete tactical objectives than be the only normal person among a group of idiots.
This is why I always hate suicide infantry and idiots
They are always protesting. Game experience, morality, unfairness. The environment should be made slower and more negative
But they never thought about how their teammates endured fighting with these selfish and incompetent idiots.
This is a PVP game
If you want a more passive gaming environment stay in your custom mode
Is it hard to not go into multiplayer and poison your teammates?

I hope your view of the Level 5 environment is not like this

No thanks, give us 5 bots for each team instead for 10 players + 5 bots intead. Make map playable areas bigger too. Objectives need to be way bigger too why are we defending just a small building?

Another nerf to the Germany and America, while Soviets would be running around with PPSh-41 drums everywhere while f2p German player would have nothing else since i bet when you think about it would also want to remove FG42 II from rifleman and Americans would have only left with T20/M2 Carbine that are nowhere near as good as Hyde What about Japan and their overpowered Hei Automatic? Are we going to remove it too and force them to use shitty type 4 rifles at br5?

Very bad change MGs are already way less usable than Assault rifles and smgs, unless you give us a 250round ammo boxes with ability to deploy them and use friendly bot to reload them with a fully fixed bipod i won’t ever agree with that.

crossplay on and crossplay off are totally 2 different experiences.

How is that an improvement?

If you want to play against bots/casuals with weak equipment, go play low BR.

Simple solution don’t play BR V i play BR V only with GE and SU sometimes UK but the Super Pershing and King Tiger spam is really annoying literally heavy tanks are way way too OP without much counters … and then we have the HUGE amount of prototypes to be honest i only need type 96 lmg to be moved to BR II and i will never touch BR V or BR III right now playing BR II on the new map is so amazing!

It is on 24/7. Why would I lock myself out of playing with half the player base and get more bot lobbies?

ah… didnt check your last 2 screenshots… just saw first with all console players so i made wrong assumption…

my experience on EU servers is that US is not really that bad. i have same experience with them as with other nations. they are all equally bad. sometimes you get better team, sometimes worse.

Yeah I don’t ever check what kind of match it is because I simply don’t care. PS only, console only, mixed, pc majority, sole console player. Doesn’t matter to me I’m just here to bust some heads and capture objectives. Only time I notice is when I see some leaning filth or lose a firefight in some load of bull way and realize it’s a pc sweat lord that I will now make darn certain I have more kills than and kill more than I die to
The sad thing is I very rarely fail this personal vendetta. Lol. Don’t know how I am so often top fragger even in pc lobbies. Regardless, somehow in the US servers at peak gaming hours, all my teams still suck. Especially on any sort of defense because I guess American teams still can’t defend? Let me attack you darn game! Least then I have a chance of winning

Just play low BR

Skill issue

This is also the reason I say DF needs to keep BR3 out of BR5 matches. :wink: The last time I played a BR3 allied squad vs level 5 Japanese, the Allies had 6 deserters, and I fought the urge to desert the whole game, but remained just to fulfil some stupid daily objective DF gives us. However, if those had already been met, I would have clicked the desert button myself without hesitation as it was just a complete one sided s**t show. Basically in the end, the Japanese were beating up on me and a bunch of bots anyway. :rofl:

I am perfectly fine with BR5 being a high powered fast paced level, but it should be a stand alone BR level. If all the classes were a car. Level 1 is your base four cylinder economy car, level 2 is a V6, level 3 is a small block V8, level 4 is basically the same V8 but fuel injected and level 5 is a supercharged race motor. :blush:

Can we limit BR V to BR V? PLEASE FOR GOD’S SAKE.

Allies are unplayable now. BR III Allies are ALWAYS put against BR V Japan and its frankly criminal. Team gets smashed everytime and its just not enjoyable at all.

It’s even worse when one knows how in real life it was the Allies who had better weapons and overwhelming firepower.
Note I’m not at all suggesting Allies should win all the time, merely that BR V needs to be locked away from everything else so that normal players can enjoy the game and those noobs that want COD assault rifle spam can bugger off to BR V.
