Enlisted News

In our first devblog about the massive graphical improvements, we mentioned the changes to tone mapping - how the eyes adapt to light and dark. In the upcoming "Rzhev" update, visibility in darker areas will be significantly improved.

However, we didn't have the time to fully complete the work on this improvement for the previous devblog, so we couldn’t showcase the full potential of this technique. We're now making up for this. You can compare how much easier it will be to navigate even the darkest environments:

The Allied landings in Normandy on June 6th, 1944 required a massive effort, not just from the command and intelligence, but also from the different branches of the military.

From June 6th (13:00 UTC) to June 10th (13:00 UTC), several unique premium squads for the USA will temporarily return to the shop for Gold!


[h3]Collectible machine gunner squad with Browning M1918 (BR III)[/h3]
The squad is armed with the early variant of the Browning light machine gun without a bipod. This variant was used by the USA in World War I. The M1918 was designed to be used by soldiers during an assault advance — and in Enlisted, it performs precisely as an assault weapon should.

The squad consists of 4 machine gunners and there is an extra slot for an engineer.


[h3]Assaulters with Thompson M1928 USMC (BR II)[/h3]
These soldiers are holding the famous "Tommy gun" with a 20-round magazine used by the US Marine Corps. Thanks to its convenient open sights and a foregrip to reduce recoil, it’s one of the most easily controlled submachine guns in its family.

The squad has 4 assaulters and an engineer with a wide range of buildable structures.


[h3]Fighter pilot with P-40E-1 (BR II)[/h3]
Take control of this legendary American fighter-bomber! This aircraft boasts excellent top speed and formidable armaments against both air and ground targets. After all, six 12.7mm machine guns, one 500-pound bomb and two 100-pound bombs pack quite a punch!

The upcoming major update will introduce a new historical battlefield, where the forces of Germany and the USSR clashed after the Battle for Moscow had turned the tables of the war — and a brutal bloodbath for each small piece of Soviet land began.





Having withstood the push of the German blitzkrieg during Operation Barbarossa, the USSR immediately launched a counteroffensive. The Wehrmacht had to be pushed away from the capital, but the exhausted Red Army couldn’t successfully complete this difficult task everywhere.

Due to errors of the command and lack of resources, the Soviet forces failed to drive the Germans out of Rzhev as planned. As a result, a salient formed in the front line, that the German Army Group Centre could use to once again strike in the direction of Moscow. Both sides understood how valuable this chance was — and spared no expense.

The Battles of Rzhev combined numerous operations that lasted for 15 months in total, and became as important as the defense of Stalingrad or the Battle of Moscow.



The battles took their toll on the town, and after the war some parts of it simply ceased to exist. We tried to recreate them as best as we could using historical photos and archive maps.



You’ll be able to visit the Cathedral of the Nativity of Christ that still stands after the shellings, the town hall, the central market and the shopping square with the monument to Gratsinsky — the district military commissar of Rzhev. On the outskirts of the town, the battles will take place in an industrial area with a grain elevator and among the ruins of the village of Teterino, where only silhouettes of the houses remain.



Rzhev, even though it is covered by the ashes of war, remains a large and interesting town that can be explored for a while. The central streets, the steep banks on the left side of the Volga, and many small villages around the town.



Tactics-wise, this new campaign features long distance battles, lots of cover and height differences that favor each side of this historic battle from time to time.



Missions of this new campaign will be available for all Battle Ratings of the USSR and Germany, and after the release of the update, you’ll have a higher chance of getting this new battlefield for a while.

You can express your appreciation to the location designers by sharing this news on social media.

On June 6th, 1944, the Allied forces carried out the largest sea and airborne invasion in history. This date is now commonly known as "D-Day".

On D-Day, 156,000 Allied soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy, supported by 195,000 naval personnel. Through their combined efforts, the shores of northwestern France were liberated and transformed into bridgeheads, which were used to prepare for further Allied operations in Western Europe.

This is one of the most widely depicted military operations in movies and other works about World War II - you can find the Normandy beaches in Enlisted too!

From June 6th (13:00 UTC) to June 12th (13:00 UTC), you can get rewards for completing tasks.

The novelties of the "Rzhev" update will surely leave no one indifferent: very big guns and interesting new vehicles — for all countries. Let us tell you about them!


It needs no introductions. The legend with its 152mm howitzer is now in Enlisted!

The Kliment Voroshilov tanks were a deadly surprise for the Germans at the beginning of the war. Almost impenetrable to early German guns, these machines could single-handedly hold off the advance of dozens of tanks.

The KV-2 is an assault modification of the legendary vehicle. Not every heavy tank can withstand the 5 kilograms of explosives in its shell. The presented 1940 modification has a machine gun in the turret — so you won’t get bored while reloading.

The tank is crewed by 6 well-trained tankers and the squad will be purchasable for Gold in the game.


The Flak 37, which can shoot down aircraft and tear armored targets to shreds in direct fire mode with equal ease, is an anti-aircraft gun and the main armament of this heavy tractor. You are already familiar with the capabilities of the 8,8 cm cannon, which is similar to the Tiger’s.

The open platform significantly simplifies the gun crew's work, so you can expect a much faster reload rate compared to the Tiger tank.

The crew of the tractor is also well-protected. The driver and commander are in an armored cabin, while the gunners are behind a sturdy gun shield.

One piece of advice though: when turning sideways, be mindful of the ammunition stowed in the rear box. The crew consists of 6 tankers, and the squad will be purchasable for Gold in the game.

And now on to the novelties that you can unlock. You can find these in the research trees of their respective countries!




[h3]I-185 (М82) (BR V)[/h3]
This Soviet monoplane with 20mm cannons becomes the new top fighter in the USSR's research tree.

It has quite decent maneuverability and thrust-to-weight ratio - after turning it can easily reach its maximum speed again.

Its three 20mm cannons are loaded with 560 rounds, while two 250kg bombs await their turn under the wings.


[h3]Т-34-57 (1943) (BR III)[/h3]
A new addition for the middle Battle Rating!

A late T-34 variant with a hexagonal turret and a 57mm cannon - good penetration and fire rate. Its arsenal includes armor-piercing high-explosive ballistic capped and high-explosive shells.

In all other aspects, the tank shares the advantages of other T-34s: decent armor against early German guns, good mobility and off-road capability.

Important! You'll find this vehicle in the folder alongside the T-34 (1941). This means that this tank is an optional research.




[h3]Pz.IV G (BR III)[/h3]
One of the most mass-produced modifications of the Pz.IV tank — with reinforced frontal hull armor and minor cosmetic changes compared to the previous F2 modification.

This variant differs from the Stalingrad version in its limited selection of shells (armor-piercing capped ballistic capped and high-explosive) and the lack of additional track armor on the upper hull plate.

Owners of the old "Battle of Stalingrad - Full access pack": The old Pz.IV G will be renamed to Pz.IV G "Stalingrad" and will receive armor-piercing capped ballistic capped, high-explosive anti-tank, and armor-piercing composite rigid shells, a corresponding designation in the kill log, as well as a few decorative changes to make it stand out on the battlefield.




[h3]T20 rifle (BR V)[/h3]
The long-awaited automatic rifle for the Western Allies chambered for a full-size cartridge.

This experimental rifle combines the Garand’s damage with a decent 710 rounds per minute fire rate (when upgraded). The key difference of this early version from the T20E1 is the absence of a bipod and firing from an open bolt.


[h3]M4A3E2 (76) W (BR V)[/h3]
The Jumbo has the strongest frontal hull armor among the tanks of its family, but not the best gun. Its long-barreled version was long overdue.

The 76mm gun with armor-piercing capped ballistic capped, high-explosive and armor-piercing composite rigid shells in its arsenal makes it a real threat to Panthers and other German tanks, which will have a hard time penetrating it anywhere except for its weak spots.




[h3]KE7 (BR III)[/h3]
This Swiss machine gun from SIG, exported to many countries, traveled through numerous battlefields, just to eventually end up in the hands of soldiers of the Japanese army.

In terms of damage and rate of fire, it’s similar to the American Brownings, and even surpasses them in magazine capacity. 25 rounds - not kidding.


[h3]Chi-To (BR IV)[/h3]
A Japanese tank with a long barrel cannon capable of engaging most American Shermans. It’s based on the Chi-Nu tank, the similarity in the hull’s shape is easily noticeable. At the same time, the tank received a bit more armor protection and almost did not lose any of its mobility.

In the research tree, it is placed directly before the Ho-Ri Production.
