Every time I see someone say Germany 6.7 is still overpowered, I honestly wonder if they've actually played it recently. It feels like people are still judging it based on old War Thunder instead of what it's like now. Sure, on paper the lineup looks amazing. You've got the Tiger II (H), the Jagdtiger, the Ferdinand, and some really solid guns. But the second you actually queue into a match, reality hits. Almost every game is a full uptier to 7.7. At that point, your biggest advantage—your armor—basically disappears. What's the point of driving a heavy tank when every other vehicle is firing HEAT-FS or APDS that doesn't care how thick your armor is? People always say "just angle," but angle against what? You can't angle against shells that go straight through you anyway. It feels like you're carrying around 70 tons of armor that barely matters. Then there are the maps. Half of them are tiny city maps where everyone can flank you in the first minute, and the other half are full of hills where German heavies can't even use their gun depression properly. You're slow, you're huge, and by the time you finally get into position, some light tank has already scouted you and now the entire enemy team knows exactly where you are. And don't even get me started on CAS. You'll finally have a good game, get three or four kills, and then someone respawns in a plane just to revenge bomb you. It doesn't matter how careful you play if a bomb lands ten feet away and sends your Tiger II back to the hangar. It's honestly one of the most frustrating parts of playing the lineup. The thing is, I'm not saying Germany 6.7 is terrible. The guns are still incredible, and if you get a downtier, you can absolutely dominate. Landing a clean shot with the long 88 never gets old. But those matches feel so rare compared to the constant uptiers where you're fighting vehicles designed years later with ammunition that completely ignores what your tanks were built around. I think that's what annoys me the most. Whenever someone complains about Germany at this BR, the immediate response is "skill issue" or "Germany suffers" as a joke. But if you've actually spent time playing the lineup recently, you'd know the frustration isn't because the tanks are bad. It's because the game has changed so much that the strengths of these iconic heavy tanks just don't matter as often as they used to. The lineup can still be fun, but it definitely isn't the unstoppable monster people keep pretending it is.

Ive been playing Enlisted on and off (more often off) since June 2022 and despite the fact my storage on my Gaming Laptop is almost full, I will never ever delete this game. My favorite aspect is the fast-paced gameplay and the variety of maps and modes available. My favourite weapon is perhaps the MP 40 or even the Lanchester but Enliste offers a varierty of different weapons to choose from so I may have forgotten some of the other weapons. Although I hate that fact that they always want me to matchmake me to the Pacific Theater and play conquest mode. You and your squad have to run endlessly from Control Point to Contol Point and avoid not getting torn apart by the random eenemy squad happens to see you. Even when you do die and have to respawn with a new squad the team had not built any Spawn Points. I try to utilise my engineer in every game whether by building fortifications if defendind as well as machine gun and Ampulomet (the most satisying stationary weapon in the game). So to be more effective and have chance of winning and the cosistency and momentum. Build Rally Points. If you dont build rally points you have already lost. There is also the issue of the Japanese faction in Enlisted. I know the tech tree is not quite there yet and know that IRL the USA and USSR but I remebr being in BR I for Japan and being up against US enemies that had weapons like Thompson SMGs, BARs, and other higher Tier weapons. Its clear that not many people do not want to play as Japan for a good reason and it shows with the tech tree being a mess. Semi-Auto Rifles are not that great in my opinion and they could be better but I think its just the case that they just sucked IRL and they didn't even use them and mainly used the Type 38 and Type 99 Arisaka Bolt-Action Rifles. Its gottent to a point where its better just to use a Bolt-Action Rifle even at higher tiers to at least gurantee some kills. In terms of other factions Semi-Auto Rifles which I love mostly, the best one in my opinion is definitely the M1 Carbine, and the worst was probably the Gewehr 41/43 the VG 1-5 is better. The reason why the M1 Carbine is the best Semi Auto in m opinion is that Enlisted have manage to capture the feeling of it lightness and portibility very well and its very accurate and its recoil is very manageable as well. Its more longer and heavier counterpart the M1 Garand is very good but I often find it hard trying to manage its recoild for follow up shots at a a medium range which can lead to the enemy shooting me first which has happened a lot of times. It also is not a one shot kill potential so if I hit all my shots with the limited 8 rounds I would kill only 4 enemies. Compared to the M1 Carbine has less damage but against is more lethal at a close-medium range it is extremely effective than the M1 Garand. I will post more about this game in the future so stay tuned. In conclusion, despite its clear issues in Enlisted it's still a fantastic game to play if your bored and unemployed and is a greatr alternative to similar games like Hell Let Loose, Squad 44 and War Thunder. I also feel that Enlisted is a fusion between the two.
