Darkflow has done it again. Enlisted : Rebuy recently blundered away any chance of a successful launch on steam by costing themselves money. For a free to play game. A complete disaster, but pretty funny to watch at least.

typical gaijin entertainment greed. I remember first playing this game and loving it, but none of my friends would download it due to their experiences with warthunder.
Not surprising, same thing here. Nobody would touch it because they knew what was behind it.
im having the same problem and i dont blame them at all, gaijin will gaijin you eventually
They also ruined it by combining the campaigns. One of their main selling points was historical accuracy, and combination screwed it.
@@__chevytrucks__ It can be fix, but the higher ups only wants money not fun.
Warthunder gave them ptsd lol
“You have to buy the ability to buy guns” is fucking hilarious. The snails greed knows no bounds
Nice name you got
Its insane. You download the game and join a match and boom you are fighting machine guns with bolt action and your choices are grind for 20-100hours to get proper squads or pay money. Then you complain about it and the subreddit starts screeching about it not being pay to win at all just grind hundreds of hourz to get good weapons for 1 team
@@jebu5660in the base game (idk about the steam version) they changed it to where gear is divided between tiers of 1-5 where if you have gear tiered 1-2 equipped you get put into tier 1-2 matches and if you have gear tiered 4-5 equipped you get put into tier 4-5 matches and tier 3 can either get uptiered or downtiered. still not perfect but now you wont get sent to high tier matches unless you equip a high tier squad or vehicle
@@AcceptableAsGenerallyDecent I remember is tiers 1-3 not 1-2, so new player will need to use t1 weapon aganist t3 machine gun, that's why all my friend got bad experience, fighting multiple squad full with sub machine gun constantly while you are a new player is painful.
@@mushroomsauce4640 yeah it is tiers 1-3 but it is also tiers 3-5. i don’t disagree with you tho, it could be annoying and it would be a pretty easy change to make weapon research faster and cheaper
"Mr. Krabs, what inspired you to make a second enlisted right next to the first one?" "Money!"

Enlisted is what Gaijin desires War Thunder to be
Unsuccessful?
@@reedy_9619 a pay to live game
Yeah as shit as WT is right now what Enlisted does is leagues worse.
@@AsG_AlligatorNot by any stretch of the imagination.
No, I have played both and as bad as Enlisted is, War Thunder is worse. Enlisted has easier to grind events and tech trees. The iconic stuff can be unlocked quite fast. You don't lose money from playing. Wake up War Thunder has no competition, it wouldn't make any sense for Enlisted to be worse.
Doesn't surprise me that Gaijin would punk more than 200 people out of $20
I hope that $4000 USD was worth the crippling of their own game.
And i think steam takes a 30% cut so they really only got $2800
@@Professional.AmericanWhatever Gaijin can do to make a buck I guess
They wanted a yacht while they got only 30 years old car and a buried game.
That's funny
the salting of the snail will continue until the game improves
Or it withers :(
The snail has no appendages that allow for creation or improvement. Only a foot that oozes an acidic slime that decays.
Yeah, they've managed to find a balance between monetization and gameplay in war thunder. Enlisted is just unfun without paying
*alot of the time it is unfun, but it's still super fun sometimes
Yeah I lived it when I played it a few years ago. I'd happily play it on steam if they added BRs to it. Edit: and was free on steam
Early days of enlisted, when there was only Moscow and Normandy were fucking fire
Yeah, Stalingrad killed it. The new micro transactions and silver were just nails in a already buried coffin.

those were the 2021 days, right? I remember them adding a 3rd campaign (Berlin I think) and I thought it was peak.
@@rodrigovb1 Ye, Berlin was the 3rd campaign, I remember playing beta, then Tunisia. But days with only Moscow and Normandy were the peak.
@@bolek1792 yeah, thankfully I played before the addition of Berlin, I felt the game was getting harder after that.
As someone who uninstalled War Thunder after all these years, I'm happier. Enlisted was looking like a great game...Was.

The levels of ridiculous microtransaction BS in Enlisted is just so unreal, and is the reason I could never get into it. How they made War Thunder's grind look reasonable is beyond me.
Its not reasonable either lol
Wait what? I've been playing WT for four years now and it's turned into the shittiest grindfest only beaten out by the likes of Diablo Immortal. Enlisted is WORSE???
@@ashman8891i don't think so
@@ashman8891 I've put in about 200-250 hours with premium as the Germans in Enlisted and have completely finished their tech tree. In War Thunder I've put in over 500 hours and am not even done with a single tech tree. Now granted I'm actually good at Enlisted unlike War Thunder but still.
@@ashman8891i put in elisted at least 400 hours and i almost completed 3 tech trees
it took them a massive review bomb to even make basic changes to warthunder that people have been asking for since the game came out, they never change
They can make community posts saying they are "actively taking feedback and listening to the community" all they want, but they will only listen when the player base protests on a large scale😹
What really bothers me is that the first roadmap for War Thunder was actually pretty good and made the economy less grindy, now you can actually play as a F2P player and be in constant surplus of Silver Lions, plus it came with some very nice QoL changes. I was looking forward to see deep changes in the current state of the game and a brand new direction where Gaijin would finally listen to the community and tackle for one and once core issues of the game. Then the 2nd roadmap dropped and it's just miscellaneous changes and some minor QoL additions. Massive community outcry and the 2nd roadmap has not a single significant change except for a bonus for researching new nations (Which was delayed from the 1st roadmap). I have 3500 hours in this game since I started playing in 2018, almost exclusively as F2P. I stopped playing around three months ago and I can't get myself motivated to play this game anymore.
@@davidclevesguzman3397 I'm in a similar situation, about 2000 hours on record and I have been playing since the game was only planes, but now I feel a deep sense of dread just upon opening the game. Gajin has abused it's community so badly, almost every update feels like a regression to me and it has felt this way for awhile. I remember criticizing the night vision update before it had even come out as a way to increase stock grind and strongarm people into buying parts just so they can see, and I was laughed at, now they've literally all but removed it from the game because of how unpopular it was, I find this to be an excellent example of how Gajin does its updates, they don't fix things, they only add bandaids on top of problems they made for us instead of removing the problem all together, and I have gotten very sick of it.
@@davidclevesguzman3397Just here to remind y'all the volumetric shell update that screwed up the entire penetration mechanic was released about 4 years ago, still not ONE sign they even *want* to fix it
And even then they gave us HALF of what was asked for. We asked for free FPE with an upgrade that lets it cool down quicker and stop fires quicker, we got a single use FPE (Thanks, most people use APHE anyway) and a single use Parts before you unlock the right of repairing your vehicle at will. There is nothing more upsetting than starting a roll of kills and then someone shoots out your cannon and you're done for the rest of the match because no one in War Thunder is a team player and Gaijin have NEVER encouraged team play, neither with their crappy game design or their crappy outsourced map designs. You can tell the people who are paid to make the maps dont play the game because the maps are not designed for tank warfare or aerial warfare.
the micro transactions are so comical you’d think it’s a south park episode
You summarized it perfectly with the “its not WT” thing. When i get pissed with WT, where the fuck am i going to go? If i get pissed with enlisted, i can go play one of the other dozens of shooters in my library. Do they have what enlisted has? No, but they dont cram microtransactions down my throat
Isn’t battlefield and hell let loose and squad all similar or way better than enlisted. I tried enlisted 1-2 years ago it felt so clunky and shit.
@@ursensitiveinagayway4016 yep. Theres nothing like war thunder, there are many things like enlisted

Wow, this video is basically the perfect way of describing any Gaijin Game. Amazing ideas and concepts held back from being a huge success because of greed. You know the worst part? The bootlickers, people defend Gaijin with tooth and nail and pour hundreds of dollars in it. As long as people like this exist, any Gaijin game will forever be a "Could have been perfect"
You know one thing though, the fact that products like Enlisted and Overwatch 2 are struggling so much does kind of give me hope. Hope that people are finally just fed up and done with micro-transaction filled crap-shoot games. There's a general trend of improvement in the industry, I feel.
I wish their games never exists. All I can think is that they can one day be completely gone and the world wouldnt have much difference. Prolly better since u dont have to deal with military docs crap.
As a monkey myself the only Gaijin game I will ever defend is War Thunder. There are some undefendable things about that game but it's so much fun and so much pain I just love it.
I’m going to keep being “that guy” until they provide a product I won’t support. Maybe the fact that there’s more of us then there are of you says a lot more about you then it does people willing to spend money on a good game like this one. If you really want you can always go back to playing CoD. I certainly won’t miss you.
@@Thedude4777-gh1lj there most certainly is not more of you. You are called whales for a reason. It says more about you that you’re literally gagging on it rn, straight up leaving the sheets soaked in slobber
Typical of a game where the company expects your to play for years and grind 1000s of hours to get a basic machine gun or something semi competent and then you have to do this for each and every soldier
This is why I never went back to titles like War Thunder and Enlisted. The grind alone is insane for a casual player
In the end, greed consumes them all.
Greed is good though.

@@berenhamilton3321 Yes and it was terrible
The moment I saw Gaijin I knew that the fun wouldn't last for long. I enjoyed playing it for as long as I could.
I basically haven't touched Enlisted since I discovered Easy Red 2. Similar concept with zero grind (squads get historically accurate loadouts for each battle), zero microtransactions, the AI is much better than Enlisted's because the bots are not just meant for players to grind and pad K/D ratios, and the indie dev team actually listens to its players, constantly adding and updating requested features.
I was just gonna comment about Easy Red 2, such a cool game and altogether its like 20 bucks for the base game and the 3 dlcs.
Wow I didn’t realize how small of a channel this is. Great work dude. Everything looks and sounds good
Well it's like my ex's used to say. Size doesn't matter. Cheers though, welcome to the club.
Yep… i was a Tunisia only player, i would die for that one campaign, it had the best balance between factions and its ruined now. They ruined this, i gave it another chance and like… it’s playable, until i need space in my computer for Helldivers.
Oh yea hell-divers is pretty good.
Tuniza sucked in my opinion,it was to flat for my taste,I like more vertical terrain like in Berlin
Axis had much better tanks there. But nobody was playing them it was a dead campaign do you really want to grind bots every single match?
@@Dregomz02 what are you talking about?
I mean, it had fun bolt-action gameplay, but unfortunatelly barely any players. Moscow was fun before they made the soviets op af.
enlisted has such a BEAUTIFUL premise but ofc it gets ruined by greed
I haven't been able to play enlisted for nearly a year but I'm glad my last memories of the game are from before it went completely down the toilet Not that there weren't problems last year.
Only after watching the vid I've noticed the sub and view count. The quality definitely is here and the jokes are great. Wish you luck with the algorithm gods.
10:14 DAMN WHAT A ROAST
I'll just say that Helldivers 2 exists now. So Enlisted is beyond saving at this point.
I'm a maxed out Enlisted player. I've spent 20 bucks total into the game, buying premium time during christmas promos. I guess the excessive monetization and greed never bothered me all this time because I'm brazilian and I never really considered buying stuff like premium squads or cosmetics. It's just so massively overpriced, especially for people in 3rd world countries, that I just completely ignore it, and I guess I forgot it even goes on.
The snail fears the Brazilian
Another LATAM player here... ive never spend a single buck on this game and I almost always ended 1st or 2nd on the parties. You dont need no pay to have fun, or win. If you suck, you will suck even paying. The P2W sqads and tanks are just a pain in the ass for a while, just because the P2W players dont usually are the best at playing.
The only good reason to spend money on the game is for the permanent extra squad slots, which for some reason are locked behind premium accounts. 🤔
Can i play with you? I’m Brazilian and kinda new to Enlisted, but i did get 150 kills with T-50 today and won the game by myself, if you want to join me say your nickname.
@mike-alpha1942 Enlisted isn't much of a pay to win. It's worse. It's a pay to progress, just like fucking War Thunder. You grind one trillion hours or pay 60 bucks for easier grind. We Brazilians are aware of this kind of shit and we just grind the game regardless, but so help me God if they increase the grind...
I’ve been playing enlisted for almost 3 years and every point you made is painfully accurate. The pre merge grind was definitely bad but post merge is almost equally bad with the shitty rewards for completing tasks like “earn 5k kills while attacking / defending only gets you 1k silver ( can’t even buy a pistol for that price)
AI generator made those achievements. Devs doesn't even play their game.
Iv been doing the same and Iv yet to hear a point that had even the slightest bit of factual info in it. Hey guess what the uniform thing yeah you don’t have to buy those and AND guess what you get uniform orders for free for just playing the game. No one is point a gun to your head and saying buy the SS uniform in enlisted from Hugo Boss
The sad thing is that the merge could've been so simple. Just take the old system and make levels carry over betwen campaigns. And yet, they managed to mess it up...
@@Thedude4777-gh1lj bro go suck the snails taint in your basement like the bootlicker you are
Wow what an awful practice who could be behind such a pile? Oh 6:00 the snail you say? I’m so far from surprised, would you believe me if I said I was Pikachu facing? The snail, demanding money? They not gonna stop
Only thing in the way of the snail is we LATAM players who play the game regardless of the absurd grind. They fear us.
Enlisted is a good game underneath all this fuckery. It's like Battlefield but with squads. This is why I hate that they are actively trying to make it shit.
They could have done one thing, release on steam without charging anything. Making the events rewards like para squad and others only obtainable if you play through their laucher.
The steam release was part of it, but that there's a much broader issue related to general greed that's really what's holding the game down.
Well then you’re making an extremely good squad ONLY accessible on one platform… I say they refund everyone who bought the steam version, re release it free this time and maybe cosmetic exclusives? But I wouldn’t really enjoy (being a ps5 player) fighting constant paratroopers because steam gets it free then it’s unbalanced even worse than it already is.
I don't understand the issue with it on steam. You go to their site and download it. Its nothing special
I actually used to be a tester for the game and found many bugs whilest doing so. Back in july last year I discovered this tank glitch which allowed you noclip throught the map. The glitch couldve been manipulated to its fullest extent if anybody had discovered it, and if they had bad intentions. However, the development team, well aware that the glitch I found was gamebreaking, took pleasure with patting me on the back and not rewarding me in any form...
If they dont even listen to testers i can just tell how much they listen to the community😹
This is literally what happened to hero’s and generals and that game was god tier. At the start of release the grind was fair. Now just to get a sniper rifle. You need to grind to like lvl 50 on 1 faction which is 300 hours to unlock recon. Then you need to buy the scope. Oh you want your sniper to 1 shot people in the chest. You need to spend 76k sliver and once you get it. You can’t die or miss a shot because the repair costs will fucking make you broke.
Your editing style gives me the good vibes of the average Internet Historian video, and I love it. This is a great watch for sure, hella entertaining too. Great potential here pal🔥
The snail doesnt spare anyone
couldn't agree more with this video enlisted did really have a chance to be a big game. I actually cant even fathom how they messed it up and much as they did.
Allright I've never seen your content before and THAT INTRO SPEACH WAS FIRE!! you got my sub JUST FORM THAT
Gaijin is an absolute greedy dev up there with EA and Activision, WT players have stockholm syndrome because since they released that roadmap last year from the review bombing they think Gaijin has changed. I hope Enlisted players have an attention span longer than 2 minutes to realize Gaijin is still the greedy publisher here.
Honestly, I downloaded Enlisted back when it had the old setup with the seperate maps (when I downloaded it, it didn't have Stalingrad and the Pacific) and THEN I downloaded War Thunder, because I wanted more tank gameplay (this was like 3 yrs ago, and I haven't purchased a single thing within the game) Nowadays I almost only play WT, the tech tree update completely ruined the economy, I had to play 26 games, 9 of which I was top 3 in the team, to unlock the B.A.R., which is ridiculous. I'm really sad about how DF / Gaijin ruined Enlisted, honestly it's the best free-to-play 1st person shooter I've played so far in terms of graphics, physics and overall athmosphere.
You Are 100% Correct With the War Thunder Player Base.... Been Playing War Thunder Since 2015. That Year Membership Discount Is a Damn Good Discount though. But You Did Open My Eyes to Enlisted, Kinda. The Offbrand Chance They Get Their Shit in Order I'll Be Sure to Check It Out.
There shouldn't even be a membership to begin with, but they know it will sell, and it's easy money
I'm ok spending money on war thunder because I play it a ton and I know that, without such silliness, nothing like this would ever exist. I'm a bigger infantry/gun nerd than I am a tank nerd, so I REALLY wanted to love Enlisted. But it's just not the same as war thunder. Not as good, doesn't have as unique stuff as War thunder does.
@@superfamilyallosauridae6505 That's the sad part really, Looks like I would love Enlisted but the greed is just too much and that is coming from someone who puts up with War Thunder's and Crossout's greed. Did quit Crossout though

You just gained a new subscriber, this video was well put together and entertaining, and I was extremely surprised when you only had 179 subscribers
I remember when you could roll for weapons with the bronze vouchers or whatever, this game used to be peak
Same here. I managed to get four Thompsons maxed out during that era, with parts and such.
Reminds me of a certain team with the iconic number 17 managing another WW2 video game and butchering it. Maybe not as badly, but I digress.
War thunder has a captive playerbase, there are no other tank multiplayer games like war thunder or world of tanks, and they are both grindy microtransaction hells, the moment another online tank game appears they are gone, each in their respective categories, arcade hp style or realistic module and crew damage system
feels like war thunder 2 if the goal was to make it a 3d flash game
I seriously miss this fucking game when it was good, I had a blast on Berlin and everything and then they decided to add battle rating and everything
Great vid, I was looking forward to trying this game out when it came to Steam. Looks like maybe it was for the best that I did not.
your audio quality is wonderful for someone with this low of a sub count. i don’t usually like this kind of content but you got my like bro. keep up grinding u gon get there
8:34 I take offense to this. Not even a War Thunder player could stand the grind of Enlisted. At least not without paying-up. I've reached planes and tanks at 11.0 for US and Italy WITHOUT HAVING PAYED A CENT, and enlisted was too grindy for me.
Based Italy player
I'm the exact reverse, I grinded everything in Enlisted for free, ever since the first week or so of launch I had been playing. Originally I had played War Thunder, back in 2015 I picked it up, and found the grind to be miserable once I reach 6.0 - 7.0, especially with Tanks using solid shot AP & half the pen value of it's APCPC counterpart. Likewise I found it to be painful for Air, after I grinded Japan / Germany / Britain to the 5.0 - 6.0 range it just became mind numbing. Regardless I can't justify the things Gaijin are pulling, charging $50 just to be able to fly the FW-190 D-9 in Enlisted is highway robbery when I can fly it for free in War Thunder & with only week or two of grinding from reserves. Likewise for using a Churchill III, I wouldn't spend $60 just to drive it in-game, when the exact same model of tank is available for free in War thunder yet again. Either way, the grind for both games are ridiculous, and shady tactics to get people to spend money on vehicle/gun models you already have in a different game running on the same (or close to the same) engine is just... wrong.
true I mean like $50 on a single purchase within a game is ridiculous in and of itself
@@Outclassed2011War Thunder is somewhat now "managable". It feels like a free to play game (and f*ck you if you want to progress above Tier 4),but the state of the game is much better compared to a year ago (before the boycott). I remember having a premium account (very cheap on Xbox in my country during sales is basically 2500Huf/7 bucks for 3 months) and even with that i had to skip vehicles (A4B,F2H2,Tiger 2's etc) because of the insane repair price. I don't even mention "simulator" mode where i had to pay 20k sl for spawn in my F105D(i reached the bottom since) and tooked around 20-25 minutes with premium account to get back my spawn cost. And good luck staying alive. However i looked at enlisted too,but i can say War Thunder is less greedy. You want a winter camo? Get X kills with this vehicle. You want an ace crew? Get X research point and you have it for free. Okay there are some skins(i don't mention marketplace skins this time) which is only for $,but those are usually like the "Victory Day skin for the T80B" etc. What i can recall is the bushes,but an MG solves that by now. I'm not gonna lie,but i'm lucky with the platform/country when it comes to war thunder. Since i managed to get talismans for 3-4 bucks which equals a 60$ premium vehicle sometimes and yes after almost 3000 hours i still play and got almost every vehicle i wanted 😂 However in my opinion still War Thunder is in a much better state than ever before. If they implement the rest of the stuff from the roadmap then we will have a much easier grind. Only thing they need to do is not add any new vehicles to the game,but make a big update called "quality of life". Wt still got a lot of potentional even luring hardcore simulator players to the game,but gaijin doesn't have any logic tho and sadly the same greed appears in the their other games. I would just buy a gamepass and play Hell Let loose
The game is far more enjoyable for people like me, who have been playing it for years now. After the economy rework I sat on about 700k silver and had most of the squads for Germany and US, not to mention all the event squads suchs as paras and such. If I lost all that and had to start from scratch, I'd probably never play Enlisted ever again, even tough it really is a great game.
you'll be going viral in no time with these banger videos
Good editing skills, keep up the good work lad!
It's sad to see a game with such potential fall so fast. After they stopped doing stuff for BF5 they was a huge hole missing from the first person ww2 shooters. All they had to do was make it fun and playable and not be too greedy but they fucked it up in typical gaijin fashon
As soon as I saw it was gaijin I understood everything
I played the game when it was only Moscow and Normandy, and I grinded the hell out of Moscow and had fun. But then the grind just became too much, like literally too much and I couldn’t handle it anymore because you were grinding so much for such little reward. I haven’t touched the game in a while and seeing this video just confirms my beliefs about the game. The snail must be fed. Makes me sad too because the game looked so good when it came out and we were so excited!
i heard of the many warthunder revolutions but enlisted? HELL YEAH I'M IN
What many of us said would happen is happening. And the funniest thing of all is that if you go to the forum, you'll see the same ass-lickers as always (employees, players? Who knows), defending Gaijin's (or Darkflow's) moves tooth and nail. I hope they find a reasonably correct balance and solve those problems because it is a game that I really like and has a lot of potential. PS: I really miss being able to choose which campaigns to play in, the random map selection system is real garbage. Or, at least, add game mode selection and map selection. PS2: Sorry for my bad English, it is not my native language.
True, the campaign added some charm and balance, you shouldnt worry about panthers meeting up japanese garbage or italians having to meet T-34 with no means to defeat it if they just never meet eachother in the first place. But no, they fucked enlisted just as much as WT overnight.
Sorry are we still talking about a game here? Sounds more like a money laundering scheme with how much transactions they’re shoving in there
War thunder segment hit home. Fantastic points made. Gained subscribe.
I think the only dev to ever be valid to charge money for the same game but on Steam was the Dwarf Fortress brothers because it was to cover one of their medical expenses and to make sure the game was at least different, they added graphics and new music (the game was originally in ASCII). Enlisted on the other hand, has transactions in it so it makes no sense to pay for the game on Steam. I thought it was just releasing on Steam to expand the player base but I guess I was wrong (seeing as how it’s $20 on-Steam)
I played enlisted religiously until the merge. I loved how i could just pick the army and theater of operations and immerse myself into semi-historical gameplay. Now its all just kinda strange, it lost some charm when the merge happened. I cant be the only one who noticed it? Anyways, i havent played the game since
Yeah same here. The merge looked promising but was handled rather poorly. I really enjoyed playing my favourite theatres with the appropriate weapons. Now it's a lot less immersive somehow.

Guess Gaijin pushed how hard they could physically go on P2W to see what would happen and they got their result.
4:32 - Small correction. This game HAD lootboxes. Back before the merge, the only ways to get money for weapons was to either use the Silver currency to buy them, or use the Bronze currency (which was easier and quicker to get) to get a random chance to get a weapon from lootboxes.

"paratroopers, a new thing. innotivative." excuse me what the hell are you talking about.
No fucking way they added the paratroops from super mario bros, truly the Nintendo lawsuit of all time(/j for the idiots who need this for some reason to recognise satire)
Wow this was really well thought, said what all of us were thinking in the most effective way possible, hopefully it gets better but probably not
"We'd like to apologise ONCE AGAIN[...]" Oh lord...
You’re forgetting the fact that they also made war thunder
War thunders monetizasion is fair by perspective.
you can play and enjoy war thunder to its fullest without paying, have decals, skins and vehicles without paying, get premium vehicles for free during events and selling them for better ones and so much more compared to what enlisted puts behind a paywall
@@foxy-48514Eats the crumbs like the good consumer that you are
WT doesn't lock iconic tanks like Matilda, Churchill, Firefly, Chi-ha, Pz3n with heat behind a pay wall.
@@foxy-48514 yeah just grind for 10000 hours to get to the top tier and grind inhumanly grindy events to buy something cool
I once met a players what were saying that this game is good and it will be fixed... When i told them that im closed alpha player and closed beta player and that this game was once PAYED INSTEAD OF FREE TO PLAY they went silent and told me that they never knew it was payed before f2p.
I'm a beaten war thunder player and I loved the compact campaigns formula, after the big update to combine them all even I couldn't withstand the new grind and micro-management hell that is the squad making
The fact this video with 37k and less than a 1k subs, disgraceful. subbed
Replace the word "enlisted" with "war thunder", change nothing else, and the video will stay 90% accurate
Enlisted in-game 32 vs War thunder in-game 60.790
The difference is warthunder has no competition. The in game players numbers have been up to 270k players and three years ago that was at like 80k at 8am.
War thunders monetisation isn't great but it's better than enlisted. War thunder has way more things available for free if you just do some grinding, enlisted has bad mobile game monetisation. War thunder devs do actually listen to the community too, somewhat.
@@sigstenbockgard8080 There is a premium aircraft you cannot buy in war thunder, unless you buy another premium aircraft. You can only buy so many crew slots for free, after a point it starts to cost GE. The more crew slots, the more vehicles you can bring into battle (except for naval, or air RB). And if you think the devs listen to the players.. you must be joking. The only times we can actually force them to change something is when they get review bombed into oblivion on steam, or they get boycotted into submission
@@jackgamer6307 Not sure what the first example is supposed to prove, that plane isn't anything special it's just a goofy little gimick. Not sure what your second point proves either since you also need to pay money in enlisted to get all your slots. And did you forget we're comparing war thunder with enlisted here lol? i've been playing war thunder for 5 years and enlisted since it came out, they're night and day when it comes to listening to the community
your analysis for every aspect of the shit is making me die laughing, literally im crying
A video on tanki online, please. 2k subs with this quality is underrated. Insta subbed and I'll stick with you for years to come
Played during the Beta, fun times. Alas, as soon as the game officially launched I dropped it. I knew what lay ahead. Glad I did.
This thing feels like Heroes & Generals when comes to microtransactions.
Whats ironic is that after Battlefield 5 was mixed among Fans and Historians Enlisted saved the day by providing an authentic ww2 shooter Problem is the grind is so severe and the "microtransactions" are so enormous that you can buy 10 copies of battlefield 5 and you still wouldnt have a tank unlocked
Thank you for saying what we've all been thinking!
Watching gaijin move cash cows from warthunder to enlisted has been hilarious to watch.
beautifully brutal. well deserved views, i love it.
It's just mind-boggling how a game so insanely fun in terms of gameplay can be destroyed so severely by greed
1.5k subscribers? Not enough for a content like this
I'm glad someone finally addressed these issues I've been seeing in the game since day 1! I'm probably gonna give up on the game since there's barely any players left lol
I remember in the feedback section when the game was in betas. They were talking about war thunder flashbacks when the new things on full release were shown. I loved the game too back then; don't remember a week where I didn't play it. The developers, however have not understood what their ambitions require for success and I have quit it too. I really wish the game could be revitalized somehow.
Used to play enlisted. Am glad I never saw the steam release, or heard about it... I actually would have perished from a heart attack
