Soo developers are now working into another major update which is good but lately we have been getting lots of boring stuff when it comes to content, so today im suggesting a very interesting idea that would refresh the enlisted experience, so let me give some context about this topic.
The Game has been on ww2 era since ever and actually isnt on its players peak like pre merge if this Game wants to grow some risky movies have to be done and talking about risky movies…
The last april fools event was really well worked and recieved by community something that i gotta say the developers did a good job when it comes to that, but i really wonder what if we make the ww1 bigger and more developed overall, after all developers have a decent base with the event and arent the april fools event supposed to test certain stuff?
and since is alredy told from devs that post ww2 wars wont be added, why if we step back instead into 1914-1918 period? and by the way world war 1 have also even more crazy concepts when it comes to weapons/vehicles and some of these just wouldnt work for ww2 even if these face early ww2 stuff only, so my proposal is to implement world war 1 into the game in a way it can also give some nostalgia to the pre merge players
lets beggin with the main dish…
Campaing nostalgia
my idea here will be separating the world war 1 from 2 allowing you to select the era you want to play similar to the old campaings where you choose which theater of war u will figth in:
when you switch to ww1 this will not only switch some customization this will even change the nations tech trees and i took the time to also recopilate some ww1 stuff and make it a whole Tech tree for the
Britanic/french/US and German/Italian (with an hungary exception) each with 3 brs
Take in considerationn that i tried My Best to balance both sides so no faction Will have advantage over others and if you find more unique equipment or balance problems and their solution you can leave them below anyways lets get into these improvised TT i made, and if you have more suggestions for equipment or any balance discrepance you can leave a comment below

All brs will be separated from each other that means no br 1 will find br 2 and 3 and same applies to the other brs
do you want World war 1 to be added to enlisted?
- yes
- no (please explain why)
- i have other ideas (comment below)
- i dont care
if you agree with the suggestion the following pools are for in on the opposite case just ignore them (Unless you dont care and still wanna vote anyways)
Since the Tech trees i made only have 3 brs do you think that there should be BR4 and 5 or 3 brs are enough?
- i want more brs
- is fine with 3 brs
Limitations of ww1 era
as you probably can see we have even more garbage weapons than ww2 and we alredy have a very noticiable and obvious meta with assaulters and 9 man squads and im pretty sure no one want to see the same problem we have on the low brs with x3 SMG squads each with 4 assaulters so i suggest limiting the amount of assaults to 2 per squad so they will be less present and same goes to machine gunners where there will be only 2 of them per squad too
- yes i agree
- no i want to spam automatic weapons
- i have other solutions to limit the pressence of automatic guns
BR1 will be a rusty boltie heaven, the reason is beacause more than half of these equipment wont work even against br 2 also br 1 lack of smgs and armored vehicles so the gameplay there will be bolt action heaven with occasional Shotguns that only work at limited range also there wont be pressence of any vehcicle rather than motorcycles
- BR1 will be free from the automatic weapons hell
- No i want more automatic weapons on br1
Unique features from ww1
Gas mask and gas granade
- yes
- no
- i only want gas mask
Massive gas attacks (artillery attack)?
- yes
- no
improvised melee weapons ?
- yes
- no
If you have more special features or want to expand my idea you can do it below
New ww1 maps
Verdun Battle
This battle was characterized for being the largest one of the entire ww1 and also part of it took part on a urban enviroment
1st battle of Ypres
this battle was characterized for being early on the war perfect for lower brs on the game and since is an early battle i think that the “trench” style warfare wasnt totally present (yet)
would you like more these unique localizations for the ww1?
- yes i like this localizations
- no i dont like these battles
- i have some better and more interesting battles (comment below)
Anyways thats everything i have for this suggestion thx for the idea @KRIEG_MASCHINE-psn to add info about the new weapons and stuff for the world war 1 tech tree : )
