Just to be clear, Helpers have said that Rocket Artillery for standard Radio Operators is not coming. So, at minimum, it would be another major update before that's added. And I would personally point the fact that we do not have Tech Tree Paratroopers or Tech Tree Drop Tanks (napalm planes), both of which were things people said would "come to the tech tree later". Maybe rocket artillery will come to standard squads later. But I doubt it unless people are vocal about it. So leave a comment if you think tech tree radio operators should get rocket artillery! EDIT: Helpers have now announced that there will be event squads with rocket artillery based on our feedback.
Based on what the devblog says: ''This new type of fire support will be first available to the premium Soviet and German radio operators of these new squads.'' Means it will come in atleast multiple forms besides these two squads. But rather it will be premium only, event exclusives or tech tree, isn't specified, so we can only wait and see
@@test_dude At the time of this dev blog, Helpers confirmed nothing was planned. They've just now announced that there will be event squads based on our feedback.
@@test_dude I'm guessing here, but what they mean is "Soviets and Germany get it first. US and Japan come later. Premium only." At least that's what it sounds like. Fingers crossed, tho.
honestly I'm just tired of them putting everything cool behind paywalls. I've been playing enlisted since 2021 but if it continues like this I'm just gonna leave it.
Super excited for this addition. However, it really should be part of the tech tree. They've been adding a lot of premium only stuff recently... which kinda sucks.
Agreed. What's even worse is the fact that you as a new player can't even buy paratroopers now for Germany... unless I'm completely blind, but I don't see any in the store.
More premium shit that only content creators and whales are gonna have. Neat. Who gives a fuck if my tech tree is 100% maxed out and have no real reason to keep playing without giving dark flow 40 more dollars lmao
@@Samuel_613 there is no need to ruin the game further with manchuria. If we are getting radiomen of rzhev, we'll be getting rzhev, which was fought over around the same time as stalingrad (new winter map was teased with the latest gold order is-2)
I would say they need to add more maps for pacific tbh, Manchuria doesn’t make sense tbh (at least right now). The pacific (campaign) are lacking soo much pacific battle maps it gets tiresome, and boring. I wish they would add Burma campaigns, Iwo Jim’s, Okinawa, Philippines…
I'm pretty new and just got my Puma the other day and my god the upgrade cost escalated quickly. 18,000 silver for max level, with the 40% price reduction... 30k... For one upgrade, on one vehicle, on one faction... I mean I had the silver lying around because I sold most of my pre-merge squads, but that's still ridiculous. I'm dreading what the cost of a full squad of upgraded STG's or FG-42-II's is gonna look like.
@@fuzzythoughts8020 I invested in premium for a year and I got battle pass. During the sale I also bought paratroopers, slots, tanks (Flame). I have so many vehicle upgrades now from BP, I will use them for final tier in tech tree to save cost. So basically, I research weapons until tier 5 then I focus on tanks and planes since vehicle gameplay is more chill and less grind. Getting gold order from BP, also helps the grind with high tier vehicles.
So... it's basically a cooler and better version of the regular artillery barrage ? One lock behind a paywall ? I see nothing wrong with that... I would much rather have artillery emplacement build by Engineers (available only to Radio Operator/Mortar squad maybe ?). How cool would it be to be able to build a Nebelwerfer or a Land Matress and rain death and destruction directly (well, indirectly, it's an artillery weapon alright) on the battlefield ? Balance wise, it's pretty hard to hide, can't be deployed anywhere unlike a mortar and the smoke of the rockets barrage can give it's position away pretty easily so I don't thing there is much to do on that front. But no. We can't have nice thing now can we ?
Player built artillery would be amazing! :D Also love the idea with adding it to Radio or Mortar squads, gives them more purpose in a lineup. Smaller ones for Tier 1, medium arty for Tier 2 and the rocket stuff for Tier 3 squads.
Famous for being called the, “Rzhev Meatgrinder” by both combatants the Soviets lost horrific casualties and helped reduce German infantry numbers to the point they never recovered for rest of the war Rzhev you mean?
Graphical teaser was uploaded 5 years ago, so basically they went back the graphic and lighting where it used to be when it was a beta testing years ago. That's what I remember that it was more beautiful back then. 😂
I am okay with it being premium/event only, as long as it comes back as an event reward with some regularity. An event squad store, that comes back with events, would be welcome imo and allow them to still make money. They do have to fund the game after all.
@EZIPZ_ I would just like to see them add all of the prior event units, plus like, 3 new ones, into an event store, and let you earn one or two per event
"Rocket Artillery is Premium only" Sounds like Something Gaijin would do, lock all the cool stuff behind a Pay Wall, step 2 PROFIT. Like if your gonna add a whole new "Feature" to game, Give us a basic B@$@% Version at the very least. Like Everyone gets a Generic Rocket Artillery strike, but the Premium ones get Unique rocket Artillery strikes ya know. Like the Russians get a Katusha Rocket Battery Barrage that just carpet bombs a Entire Area cus it fires like 100 rockets. The Germans got those Rocket Launcher Artillery pieces (Neverwarffer? something like that). And... I don't know, Give a Americans premium squad a Rocket Barrage from one of those Landing Support Barrages. Like I said, Make the Premium stuff UNIQUE! Kinda like when you buy the Porche Tiger.
No Katyusha gang will suffer without it availible for everyone. Also some may argue this could he pay to win depending on the cool down timer between barrages and if its spamable if you have a 10 stack of rockets one after another as a defender. Definetly if it has the same timer as artillary. Also possible they could destroy tanks while regular artillary could only kill light tanks/Open top, and APC's.
More people would probably buy premium squads and vehicles if they were $5 to $10 rather than $30 to $60. They would make more money in the long run if they dropped the prices and made more sales. I'd never pay $60 for a digital asset
when you say "I much better have devs work on other stuff in the game" you forget that different people do different parts of the game. Render programmers, who obviously did a great job here, can't magically fix bad animations and vice versa. Im not saying that animations and other problems should not get fixed. But the results of what you are seeing here did not take development time of other parts of the game except ones related to rendering. And as you said yourself, Enlisted already looked okay before
Has enlisted got any better at all? When they did the merge, update that really frustrated me and haven't played since then. I had gotten to the max level for both Germany and Russia and was working on Japan. The part that really irritated me is that there wasn't an option to use the previous squads for a selected country though I don't remember exactly what all they were. I kind of just want to go back to playing with my original squads I had for each campaign
Yeah not excited for only premium radio operators have the rocket option. I'd like to see all playable positions in aircraft especially when you've got fighter bombers who have more than one gunner positions like nose gunner and belly gunner just playable gunner behind pilot sucks
This entire major update seems mid, aside from the graphical changes which seem nice and maybe the rzhev maps. However nearly everything interesting that got added is premium locked, on top of that only 2 infantry weapons
I wish they would spend more time working on the buggy / broken game mechanics that have been plaguing the game since it came out. But nah let’s get some more premium squads for the cash cows to spam.
im really tired of great games like enlisted are getting ruined by corporate greed from Gaijin, adding premium stuff, that is just better than its free to play counterparts. ofc its mostly players fault, becouse they still angrilly give them money
This trend of premium/event-limited new content really has to stop. It’s bad for the health and longevity of the game, no matter how much money it makes them in the short term.
the thing with the premium rocket artillary even if it isnt OP, people are going to say it is because it has more HE filler in it and is basically like Hvars. And because of this people are going to dubb the game PAY TO WIN. which it isnt, but it will come across that way to almost anyone who is new or is just checking the game out. Its like yh, us devs and content creators might understand that it isnt OP and pay to win, but those arent the only people you should be convincing. Content creators only make up not even a 1% of the playerbase and there are many enlisted players who dont watch enlisted content. Not op, but they are digging themselvs a hole
Es una porqueria está actualización de rocket artilleria, entre esto y los aviones no dejan jugar a los tanques. Cuando te envian una ataque de rocket artilleria no hay forma de librarse, te das cuenta que te lo tiraron cuando tenes el cohete en el techo de tu tanque. Si sigue asi no voy a jugar más, dos veces me enviaron un ataque y no pude evitar ninguno de los dos.
Dude. Paratroopers and APCs havent come to the tech tree yet. Now the APCs are still relatively new so they get a pass but the sheer fact its been over a year and theres still no paratroopers in the tech tree for F2P players and so far only unarmored trucks and half tracks in the tech tree. It doesnt bode well for tech tree rocket artillery men.
@DontStealMyNoEffortName I mean true. I'd still rather have something to keep my troops alive better on the way there, though. That and things like the LVT 4 make great mobile HMG emplacements.
"this new type of fire support will be FIRST etc etc etc" were all gonna get it man but they want to earn some dough on the people who want it sooner. no worries
Okay Rocket arty for Germany will probably gonna be a pay to win squad (at least against the allies/usa). They can go two ways regarding the rocket arty damage impact system, either make it in accurate wide/big radius impact zone (like a bombing run) with small blast radius or small accurate impact zone with wide blast zone. Either way if they’re not adding rocket arty for other faction it’ll be to unfair, unless they make the cool down timer much longer and even still it could still be op since multiple players can have those premium squad equip.
They should get some balance updates out instead of more annoying spamming classes. Planes are still broken af with almost no counter. Yet with every update you get more stuff to demolish ground troops and tanks.
So whats the trade offs for the rocket artillery? At least for the bomber strike, its a high risk/reward where there's enough time for the bombers to be shot down or infantry to escape in exchange for the potential of multiple squad wipes. The teaser for it does make it look like it has a smaller area compared to the other artillery.
I mean we kinda already do have rocket artillery, since the rocket vehicles like the Calliope and the german half track are in the game, but great to know that radio called one is coming. Russians about to get even more annoying with katyusha barrages
some ppl dont know how to read properly. This new type of fire support WILL BE FIRST AVAILABLE to the premium etc....meaning that in future it will come for regular forces aswell.
Their track record with “first available” is awful. We still have not gotten tech tree paratroopers, drop tanks and actually armoured APCs. All of those are either premium or event locked despite being promised tech tree versions
Ah, yes, people in the forums i remember there are all like "yes yes please release more $50 squads pretty please milk us more i've been a pretty bad player 🥵"
