This WWII Simulator Was Worse Than We Expected

[@iceball448]

A good tip is individual placement of your squad. the general placement when you press X is kinda stupid and they end up running around a little. Pressing i think L or K (?) will give 'induvial orders' to each squad mate. to where you can place them more properly in cover and they stay. Also when pushing up you can order your men to push at slightly off angles like sending one left and right of you. to give them more of a edge to get a jump on the opponent, as it gives you more time to jump into the other if your guy dies, or react when one of your men gets killed. a downside is you have to spam the X key a bit when hard pushing with 9 people in your squad lol

[@NerdOutlet]

That actually helps a lot! Thanks!

As an entlisted veteran: few things: worst time to play germany at the moment, second: p2w is only limited and boils down to only certain aspects like extra slots, perhaps the one American rocket launcher tank, third: you seemed to be very new to entlisted and dont have gear over br1. Silver economy is a problem,*hackers * mostly are only bots, you need to train your aim/reaction speed and maplearning, wich gives advantage. Entlisted has Problems, but it isnt bad

[@redjul9065]

And it isnt a simulator , more like ww2 cod campain combined with warthunder

[@amhuman5138]

I'm sorry but the paid purchases are mental, and a lot of the more interesting and useful stuff is locked behind it, including paras

[@NerdOutlet]

We are new to the game, we quite literally downloaded the game only a couple of minutes before the video lol But those are all good critiques that we could think of if we were to play again

[@redjul9065]

@@NerdOutlet to be fair, we entlisted veteran say that entlisted is everything but new commer friendly

[@redjul9065]

@@amhuman5138 to be fair, paras are considered to a degree p2w, fpr those who didn't got the free event squads

[@thrashnakthebarbarian9876]

A lot of the people are justifying it as “oh you’re low tier so it’s gonna suck”, but the problems stem more from its lackluster gameplay, weak AI, and easy loop of “wipe AI squad, repeat”. It’s just not enjoyable and feels like Heroes and Generals if it was stupid easy and just as grindy

[@NerdOutlet]

Yeah for me personally the gameplay is a little slow. You really have to be playing with friends for it to be as enjoyable.

[@thrashnakthebarbarian9876]

@@NerdOutlet for a free WWII game that’s had hundred if not thousands of games to go off of at this point it sure doesn’t do anything interesting or execute any pre-existing concepts well

[@NerdOutlet]

Yeah that's one of the reasons why we said it's worse than we thought cause it just doesn't really show us something new. It's just a bunch of concepts from different games put together. Which I can kind of see the appeal for but it's not for me personally.

[@Shawnmiller1903]

i liked the game before the battle rating update

[@samridhyadutt5284]

As an enlisted veteran, I would like to make a few points - is the game P2W? Well, no and yes. Yes coz you get extra slots and vehicles to bring with you in battle, and maybe the US Calliope tank with 114mm rocket. But thats just it. Enlisted is pay to progress faster. Thats just it. Which factions to play rn? Play the Allies and Soviet Union because German Reich and Empire of Japan are getting annihilated and you playing as the Axis will only result in frustration. No this isnt a ww2 simulator. Its a mix between an arcade shooter like COD and BF with more HLL styled movement and damage rates. Is it fun? Yes. Are greyzoning King Tiger Tanks fun? NO.

20:51 Truly one of the moments of all time😂

[@zacablaster]

Enlisted managed to make me regret a free purchase

[@NerdOutlet]

All three of us deleted the game right after we were done recording lmao😭😭

[@zacablaster]

@@NerdOutlet Same. It's honestly pretty sad, it's a fun little world War two shooter at its core. But the way they went about monetizing it sucked the fun right out. You should not have to grind out a sidearm for each dude, in each squad, in each army. That's nuts! If they're gonna pull this separate army separate progression stuff, it should at LEAST be a squad unlock.

[@samuelmoore1635]

Enlisted is an awesome game.

[@NerdOutlet]

To be fair, we never did say that the game was terrible. We just expected more from a game with such praising reviews and the RussianBadger video from a few years back. I can see why people like the game. It's just not the easiest game to get into.

[@samuelmoore1635]

@@NerdOutlet Its def better once you start unlocking the weapons/vehicles you want, but to be honest BR2 level battles are the sweet spot.

[@Volpeusz]

enlisted is...well. not bad game but not good for sure. at its core its not bad, but players are one of the dumbest i ever saw in video games. and the game is not new player friendly

[@rattler8985]

Your first mistake was you installed the game... Kidding, I've played this game for too long. It's a grind, it's hell, but it's a addictive drug that my mother warned me about. I would only recommend this game if you need something to spend a unhealthy amount of time in and willing to spend a few bucks once in a while if you want to grind. But in terms of playing the game for fun? Definitely, just don't expect to make any progress if you play only a few hours a week. But it makes me happy to see new people play the game, I at least hope you enjoyed it! From all the.. Hydra impressions, your acting carrier has a bright future.

[@NerdOutlet]

Glad you like the Hydra impressions🤣

[@vasilijevasictrob2048]

well im in hell then becose i play war thunder and enlisted

[@Ben-ew7zo]

It was half decent when you could play solo soldier

[@Vincantios]

Not p2w

[@MontagnaxX]

it is but the game is still good

[@NerdOutlet]

We never said anything about being p2w lol

[@ClipCraze-i8j]

​@@MontagnaxXnot really because you could buy the best gun and still die to a bolt action as they 1 shot

[@av812bb]

so why is it bad? I know the p2w, monetization and all that but are there any other reasons?

[@amhuman5138]

It's gameplay feels EXTREMELY outdated to me, the controls are quite clunky and unresponsive, even compared to those full on realism games (I.E HLL or Insurgency)

[@NerdOutlet]

We cut it out from the video for content and time reasons, but we played about 3 other games after these ones. The problem we came across was that we as new players were being trampled over by people who knew the maps and how to hide in them. Also, the fact that research was split between different groups when they are technically the same gun was a little weird for us.

[@av812bb]

@@NerdOutlet The guys who own enlisted also own war thunder, and both games have those issues.

[@Twisted_8069]

​@av812bbbb I think that's what bro was saying😅 still doesn't make the game better

[@ClipCraze-i8j]

​@NerdOutlet so it's a bad game because you just got it and aren't as good as people who play far longer that aint a point against the game that's a skill issue

[@DrGergo]

painful watching how you play, and it's not the game's problem...
