Enlisted News

Each issue of our series focuses on a certain aspect of the game or a particular mechanic, in which we correct smaller, but noticeable bugs and add new interesting features.



The new feature of the "Rzhev" update - rocket artillery - is already available to many of you. We've read your first impressions and suggestions about this feature. So here are the improvements!



Targeting now takes half as long, 7.5 seconds instead of 15, and the rocket salvo takes 6.9 seconds instead of 8.4. Additionally, the armor penetration of direct hits has increased from 35 to 45 millimeters. Also, the maximum effective range of the armor-piercing fragments has increased from 2.5 meters to 3.5.

You can already check how the rocket strike has changed by calling it with one of the new radio operator squads of Germany or the USSR. By participating in the recently started event, you can also get radio operator squads with similar mechanics for each country just by playing!



Did you know that there are repeatable levels at the end of the Battle Pass? By completing them, players who have already claimed all the main prizes can continue to receive nice rewards!



From now on, Battle Pass levels from 76 to 83 will display an indicator that these levels are repeatable.

• Improved the startup time on PlayStation® 4 and PlayStation® 4 Pro by 25%.
  
• Fixed the audibility of shots fired from the T20 rifle.

In the "Reinforcements received" events, you’ll upgrade your army with unique and well-armed squads, rare weapons, vehicles and always-useful items. Main rewards will help you unlock content that normally takes more time to reach in a regular lineup.

This time, radio operators will join the ranks of your army, who will also have access to the new, unique artillery support - rocket strike!

From June 24th (13:00 UTC) to July 26th (13:00 UTC), get battle score in battles and move up the rewards ladder! You have two days to complete each task!



You'll get rewards during the whole event, and the further you progress through it, the more valuable they'll become. You can easily skip a few tasks and still get the main rewards!





As you complete stages, you will receive unique radio operator squads that you can arm however you like!


[h3]Radio operator squads with rocket strike (All countries)[/h3]
These squads, one for each country, all have access to the newly added rocket strike.

The rocket strike has its own peculiarities: it lasts longer - 8 seconds versus the 4.5 of the normal artillery strike, but more rockets are fired during this time - 24 launches compared to 19 shells. Moreover, the rockets pose a greater risk to vehicles in case of a direct hit.
Note that the call timers for the regular artillery strike and the rocket strike are shared.

Each squad has 4 radio operators and an engineer with a wide range of buildable structures. You can change the weapons and equipment of these soldiers, and the BR of the squad alongside with them.

• Tasks are updated every two days at 13:00 UTC, and the scoring starts again. Be sure to collect your reward before then, if you have managed to accumulate the required number of battle points, otherwise the task will not count.
  
• The task can be completed in the Squads mode.
  
• From July 26th (13:00 UTC) to July 28th (13:00 UTC), after the end of the event, you will have the opportunity to purchase any missing rewards for Gold.
  

Commanders, we are starting to test additions to the rules for creating matches, which will result in some battles being created with opponents who can differ from your Battle Rating by no more than one! You can read about the rules of the new system and the testing conditions below.





Currently there are 5 different Battle Ratings in Enlisted and players can get into BR 1-3 or BR 3-5 matches, depending on the BR of their army.

We are adding a new "soft rule": if there are enough players in the queue, matches with a narrower BR spread can be created: BR 1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5. In other words, we are doubling the accuracy of matchmaking!



In order to make this new rule more efficient and more likely to be applied, the maximum time a player can wait in the queue will slightly increase - so the matchmaker can gather enough players to start a battle with a narrower BR range.

Even under these conditions, if there are not enough players due to an unpopular country or BR, then the matchmaker will simply create a session according to the classic rules.



Matchmaking is server-side, so you don't even need to update the client. Just play and share your impressions, and we will collect your feedback and analyze the results.

There is also no need to redo your army lineups. Everything else will remain unchanged, and in case you forgot, we have a detailed video about BR.

During the test, we may change the logic of this new mechanism or temporarily disable it for technical improvements. After the end of the test, we will definitely tell you about the results and the decisions made.

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!
