Limiting the game to just 4 factions stifles this games potential. To build a player base with a stronger sense of identity greatly ensures that each persons experience is unique and promotes exploration I therefore suggest this; A faction split. The following should be playable options.
US
Germans
Soviets
Japanese
Axis Forces (Italians the main entity of this faction Bulgarians, Romanians, Hungarians Estonians, finish volunteers, “free Arabs”, Cossacks ect)
Allied forces (British the main entity of this faction French, polish, Dutch, common wealth, partisan forces.
The allied factions would be limited to maps only where they historically apply.
Currently this game has departed from historical accuracy if they continue with this trend then why not make generic maps IE “Nordic ruins”, Dutch village, Mediterranean coast, Italian vineyard, German forest. Etc
Or you could go Chad mode and name those maps the battle of Denmark, marketgarden, Crete/Greece, Sicily/selerno, Hertigan forest ect…
In summery, One thing that makes war thunder and world of tanks great games is an impressive number of maps and faction options. Look to those games as examples on how to prolong a games lifespan
In the war thunder model the battles span generations of development. If enlisted ever did that I’d suggest they break it into chapters however that would fracture the player base so it’s best to focus on ww2 for now. The exception would be Korea. A Chinese campaign could easily be established in keeping with ww2 expanding upon Japanese gameplay and could then grow into higher teir actions with the US and allies. Not having the Chinese and extending enlisted into Korea is a missed opportunity all around. You can even make a BR 6 and 7 or even 8 to introduce DPRK forces that you could insure will not battle tier 5 Japanese thus keeping immersion.
I feel like devs never really read my posts so it’s a hopeless cause but there are ways to satisfy everyone’s needs and to build more ways for the devs to make money by splitting factions, creating new ones, adding more gameplay and expanding the game in general. Eventually BR 5 can only get so big. I do foresee the tech tree expanding someday. We will see where this takes us. With that build more factions for diversity allowing for multiple approaches of gameplay.
