I’ve heard that Chinese players will flip their shit if Chinese stuff is given to Japan and not poking that hornets nest is why they gave it to Russia
I’m disappointed right now, because I’m expecting Chinese Communist forces to unfortunately be rolled into the USSR faction like Italians for Germany/Commonwealth for US and I was hoping that it would give us a Chinese squad on the TT if they insist on doing this.
However, these are European weapons, captured in China. Or maybe not captured in China. Dark Flow doesn’t want you to know where Japan got these weapons from.
The BARs were captured by Japan. Apparently, the BAR unit featured in the game actually armed with captured American weapons and fought the Soviets in Manchuria.
Captured Polish Brownings were used in some quantities by both the Soviets and the Germans on the Eastern Front. Incidentally, I recently wrote a thread about replacing the PPSh(S) with the FN1930. I think it’s a more suitable weapon for both China and the Soviets, who could use foreign-made BAR modifications. It’s also a more unique weapon for the Soviets, as the Soviets don’t have their own BAR, and it’s truly something new, not just another SMG with a drum magazine. And it would fit nicely into the “BAR-equipped squads” pack.
I didn’t vote, but I really don’t really care either way. I probably wouldn’t use it anyway as it appears to be just another insignificant rifle. However, having variety in weapons IMOP is a good thing.
Honestly, I agree that I would’ve probably liked it better to have been added to Japan’s TT, but I also have to say that I like that we’re getting the weapons from other countries for our squads. It’s also still accurate to historical context.
I’m ambivalent; it’s cool to have a little more choice at low BRs for weapons, as I like to have 1 squad with one kind of rifle, 1 with another, so I have situational flexibility, but I can understand the historical authenticity perspective.
More broadly I think the best direction for Enlisted to head in is the “1946” way, bringing in as event vics, TT, and premiums some more ‘out there’ or rare things for us to play with. Things like the Volksjager get, the T44/IS-3, Panther 2 with the Schmallturm, Gerat 06, Panzerfaust 150, etc. That would involve some other strange TT choices; but if War Thunder could get away with it, I think Enlisted can too. Idk, my 2 cents.
I agree to any additions, as long as we get this before then.
And if in this mode it will be possible to complete the tasks of events and I will no longer have to enter this arcade disgrace that the game has turned into.
After yet another evening of disappointing games, I told my friend I hoped Custom Matches would have both historical games and committed players. Matchmaking is poor (for me), and as a returning player after some years away I miss the campaign system.
I pray for a mode like in your picture, what I would give to play Moscow/Stalingrad/Berlin with realistic weapons progression based on year. And no conquest!
Yes. Despite all the campaign problems, Enlisted in 2021 was the best multiplayer game I’ve played. It had some soul. Now it’s a typical F2P dump, one of thousands of others.
