I can understand the Merge needed to happen. The playerbase was too fractured
However, being a WT player, I cannot stand idly by while the playerbase cries out to turn my favorite FPS game into War Thunder: Infantry Edition
I play WT because there is no other game like it anywhere, and I generally don’t have “fun” in most matches
I play Enlisted because I genuinely enjoy the game
I saw the Preferred Map System. What it could’ve been. What this game should’ve been. A player could’ve tweaked their loadout to where they were likely to get one set of maps they liked, possible on some maps they could tolerate, and never on maps they didn’t want. If they were smart enough and able to make whatever sacrifice to loadout was necessary
But what did you people do? Cry and complain and demand BATTLE RATINGS of all things. So I was afraid my time enjoying this game was coming to a close. It would just all be everyone running the same dang thing match after match because why run anything other than “meta?”
Then the BR system dropped, and I realized there was still the element of chaos and randomness to my favorite game that I fell in love with for that reason. Sure, it was limited and only fully accessible in one BR, but it was there
And now here you people are trying to take the best possible outcome, and ruin it. No. Screw you. If you want “proper battle ratings” so bad go play WT. Play America on WT. See just how painful that crap is. Go enjoy playing the 76 Sherman against Tiger II’s and the 76 Jumbo against Leopard’s. Let’s see just how much fun having to constantly worry about ATGM’s in your Pershing is. Then come back and say “yeah I want that experience in Enlisted”
