Enlisted News

On June 22nd, 1941, the same day that the German army attacked the Soviet Union, the defenders of the Brest Fortress were among the first to face the invaders in battle.

The artillery barrage and the following swift advance of the Germans caught the fortress's large garrison by surprise. Those who failed to break out had to fight an uneven battle within its walls. Despite having the advantage of surprise, only after a week of fighting, with the support of tanks, aircraft, and artillery, were the German forces able to crush the main pockets of resistance and capture the fortress by June 30th. But even after that, a few surviving soldiers, hiding in the catacombs, continued to fight against the German army until July 23th.

From June 20th (13:00 UTC) to June 26th (13:00 UTC), you can get rewards for completing tasks.

For completing 5 out of the 9 tasks, you will receive a unique "Voevodin pistol", and for 7 completed tasks, a unique "Attack order" portrait.

Commanders, it’s time to launch an offensive on Rzhev! We're introducing a new campaign on the outskirts of the Soviet capital, when German forces were still strong, and the Red Army's counter-offensive was just gaining momentum. Both sides spared no effort, earning this battle the nickname "meat grinder".



The Invasion of Normandy and the Pacific War campaigns have also been expanded with two new missions: "Ver-sur-Mer North (Invasion)" and "Alligator Creek (Assault)."

Thanks to the updated graphics, new battles will feel even more immersive in Enlisted. The major overhaul of the Global Illumination has made the game visually richer, and the interplay of light and shadow more detailed. Additionally, navigating in dark environments will be easier, and these graphical improvements won't decrease the FPS!



Improved radio operators. Now you'll be able to call in supply crate airdrops simply by marking a location on the map. The new premium radio operator squads introduced with this update (available in the store), as well as radio operator squads from future events, will also be able to call in rocket strikes – a more effective artillery support against vehicles.



There are plenty of other novelties too. You can now change the camouflage on premium and event tanks, there are new weapons and vehicles waiting for you in the tech trees, and the mighty KV-2 and the powerful 8,8 cm Flak 37 Sfl. have also joined the fight as premium vehicles.



Upcoming updates, like the "Making Enlisted a Better Place", will introduce bonuses for squads with unique soldiers, recoil improvements for all infantry weapons, and much more. Stay tuned, update Enlisted, and check out the full changelog!

In one of the future "Making Enlisted a Better Place" updates, the recoil of all firearms will become more predictable. We'll explain how it works now and what will change.



The recoil and dispersion mechanics in Enlisted aim to replicate the real behavior of firearms, this includes calculating the dispersion of each individual bullet and the recoil pattern of automatic weapons, as well as a formula that introduces randomness into the recoil pattern.

These factors are responsible for simulating the design and operational characteristics of weapons.

Bullet dispersion is caused by imperfections in the weapon’s mechanism and the basic laws of physics - a long-barreled bolt-action rifle can fire a single bullet much more accurately than a submachine gun with a shorter barrel with lots of moving components.



The recoil pattern is different for every automatic weapon and unique to each model. Even under the influence of a number of random factors, multiple continuous bursts fired from a machine gun or assault rifle will create similar hit patterns on the target. This pattern is affected by the momentum of each shot, the movement and impact of the bolt and other components, the direction of the released gases, and even your soldier's desire to control the recoil.



In addition to the two factors mentioned above, Enlisted also uses a formula that introduces an error into the recoil patterns. With its help, we simulate the small differences in the assembly of each weapon - quality during World War II was not consistent.

However, this ultimately has a negative impact on the experience of using a gun - it makes it almost impossible to get used to your favorite gun, because the recoil pattern changes with each battle.

Hit patterns of the MG-42 in three different battles:
Left - with the random pattern formula. Right - without the formula.

After reading your feedback about this feature, we decided to remove it. The recoil pattern of automatic weapons will continue to be affected by the dispersion of each individual bullet, but without the random formula, the shooting experience will not change drastically from battle to battle. Any subsequent adjustments to recoil and dispersion will be listed in the patch notes and game client files, if such changes are made.

One of the most famous creations of Fedor Vasilievich Tokarev was the SVT - a semi-auto rifle of his design. Other gunsmiths and Tokarev himself repeatedly attempted to improve it, but not all of these modifications became widespread.

From June 13th (15:00 UTC) to June 16th (15:00 UTC), a unique premium squad with the rare modification of Tokarev’s rifle for the USSR will temporarily return to the shop for Gold!


[h3]Riflemen with AKT-40 (BR IV)[/h3]

The squad is armed with AKT-40s - an automatic carbine based on the SVT-40. Tokarev submitted it for testing in 1940 and it was intended for the same purposes as the full-size rifle - but it was lighter, shorter, and capable of automatic fire at 660 rounds per minute.

The carbine is fitted with a bayonet and uses the same 10-round magazines as the SVT. The squad consists of 9 rifleman class soldiers.

On June 14, 1871, Fedor Vasilievich Tokarev, a prominent Soviet weapons designer, was born.

For most of his life, Tokarev learned the art of gunsmithing through practice – in workshops and factories. He made his debut as a designer quite late, in 1921, when he got a job at the Tula Arms Plant at the age of 50. This was when he began to create and actively participate in competitions, proposing his designs for adoption.

He wrote his name in history books as the designer of the legendary TT-33 pistol and the equally famous SVT-40 rifle.
