Yep, I might not have said all that specifically in the video but I definitely should have - you’ve probably hit the nail on the head with the 2 most important tips of all!
One thing i dont see enough players do is FLANK. Most players just run straight from A to B to C, etc. Lots of times even through open terrain or what not. If your team all goes via the left flank, flank right and vice versa. Won me lots of games atleast. Sometimes all it takes is a rallypoint on the flank where the enemies arent expecting an attack from.
@@MajorMcDonalds but since this is episode 1, who knows what will come in the next episodes! ;) btw, you should post the vid on the Enlisted reddit/discord/forum as well. It's very informative for new players!
@@sanderdekker3751 I'll definitely mention this in future episodes! I've put the video on the official Enlisted discord in #videos, but I have not put it on reddit or the forums. Good idea actually - I don't think I've ever looked on either of them tbh! Are there specific places to post video links?
One tip I've picked up while playing enlisted, unless you're firing long range, just us the tap rick-click and not hold. You can line up shots and multiple shots much faster because you're not zoomed in as much.
Close one. I would probably put down more rally points. You were lucky you had someone else putting em down. Most of the time nobody cares and you are screwed without em. I usually want atleast 2 rallies if it is not capped at the first attack.
Yeah you are right, I would have put more rallies down in other normal games but I guess I was concentrating on other things! And yeah one guy I think was making them, and one was in a very bad position, but at least he was trying so I thought if he's doing that job, I can concentrate on killing them all for my team haha. 2 rallies is difficult as often when 1 rally is down, no other teammates build rallies as they think 1 is enough, but a lot of the time 2 is great.
Nice video, never seen tips&tricks video in that format. Btw, one important thing here for every player: 7:03 if you see friendly soldiers on or around the objective you're attacking, *don't call an arty stike on it!* What you'd most likely accomplish that way is you'll kill every enemy *and friendly* on the point. The same is when you see friendly soldiers fighting with attackers on the point you're defending. In both cases it's better to call the strike slightly behind the point, in the direction from which the enemy is coming. Unless, like here, enemies are very well defending the point, then it's good to call the artillery on it.
Thank you! Yeah thought I'd just put out some raw gameplay so people can see all aspects. Very true that tip, thanks for mentioning! But I don't think friendly artillery can kill, it can only down you - I might be wrong in that though.
@@MajorMcDonalds To be honest, I don't remember either. I remember Quadro talking about artillery and objectives in one of his videos and he said similar things, so that's when I started noticing how annoying friendly artillery "on your head" is (if not for killing, then even for the weapon shaking effect).
@@olekzajac5948 That is very true, it is annoying, especially when you can't work out whether it's friendly or enemy artillery as there's no distinction! Trying to guess whether it's somewhat safe to run through it or not!
No friendly fire or headshaking. Probably enemy artillery you experienced. But yeah put it right behind the cap point or spot an crowded area with a sniper in the squad.
Small feedback and maybe a few pointers, MG and Assault troopers should have ammo bags, small ones for bronze orders, Those two kars, You have on radio operator share ammo, so They are pointless. Give this poor pilot proper medpack and MP40, You can score lot of kills behind enemy lines if You time exit correctly. It is good to have weapon swap perk on gunners. It is to good to start with squad containing engineer, slapping spawn point should be first thing You do in this case first run on the right side would be a good call. Every squad must have engineer, otherwise You letting Team down. Flanking rally point is always a good call especially when tank is camping one. Try to cook explosion packs and grenades, You will miss a lot of kill otherwise Movement and positioning on video is good, just learn to not stand near window if it is not necessary, You will be way harder to kill. Proper example with rally point at 30:50 if placed faster it would be a win. You do damage to plane, You bullets will disappear after like 300m it is possible to get some cheeky plane kills. It is called excavator it is best to bomb those tanks with stuka for example. Smoke is useful when crossing open spaces, especially arti one.
Appreciate the feedback! - I deliberately did not put ammo packs or any other bag on those troops to make it a bit closer to starting a campaign, but often I do forget to equip them anyway lol - Ahh, I thought having 2x of the same weapon did that but I wasn't sure - I never actually remember to use the second weapon to even find out! But that's a good tip! - I never use pilots or tanks almost ever, I'm bad with them for the most part, I enjoy being infantry and most of the time I can't be bothered to choose to become a tank/pilot when I know I should haha - Why weapon swap perk on gunners? Unless of course you give them 2 different guns to make them not share ammo as you said previously - Yeah I know rallies should be the first thing I do but I do enjoy just running in and gunning and I can't always be bothered to make rallies lol (which is bad ik but I like running in ASAP). On the right side though normally doesn't work as snipers sit at the back of that rally and just kill you immediately if you try and cross the railway line from one side to the other, at least I notice that with half decent players. I put engineers on MOST of my squads yeah, but not all, like my assaulters or something because I prefer to have full firepower on those to run in and gun so I might take an AT gunner/radioman instead. - I cook explosive packs whenever I can, but if I realise I started cooking them while I am in the open, i quickly throw them to get to cover and survive and at least the pack is thrown and didn't just get placed on my dead body if I die. - Good point regarding windows, I like to use closed windows to run past so I can see out of as I run past (my map awareness I think is quite good) and snipers have distorted view when they look inside the windows if they are closed and it's not as clear to them if someone is there. - I sadly rarely get plane kills! If you do, you must be a god with aiming! - What is called excavator? Yeah once again I just choose not to be planes for the most part haha I can't be bothered and I don't enjoy it as much, I can carry most games without needing to be one - Not even sure I've ever used smoke artillery, probably would need to go back through all my fully levelled campaigns to the radiomen to do it haha. I've never seen someone actually use it properly in a way that helps his team, most people seem to waste it
Ive never seen people trying to play without any deaths, its more of a challenge and its satisfying to end a game with 100 kills no deaths (all with my MP18 squad)

I always really enjoy watching videos like this no matter where I'm at with the game it's just entertaining. Generally I like to try and figure out mechanics of the game I might not have learned but my sense of tactics is pretty well down. It seems like in enlisted you really just need to be adaptable and keep pushing. I usually get about 20 to 30 matches in a day and 90% of the time I'm usually in first place with often enough 100 to 150 kills. I only found out about this game about a month ago and I'm already up to about campaign level 25 in Moscow. Saving the everliving crap out of all of my tickets though before I really decide which campaign to invest in. Think I'm going to like them all though.
Glad to hear it helps! I mean there’s plenty of things I could have done better in this game too and things I shouldn’t have done, so I guess they need to be covered in future videos!
@@MajorMcDonalds What is the ratio do you estimate of the squads you use: the purchased/battle pass squads vs. the actually campaign unlocking squads. I don't have the battle pass so just curios how much they affect in game performance.
@@augustwhitlock7230 Battle pass squads? Not sure what you mean by that, you only get soldiers, weapons and vehicles from the battlepass which you can use in any campaign unlockable squads. I actually only currently have premium squads in Tunisia, the Moroccan one for Allies and the San Marco for Axis (both so I could review them on my channel in previous videos haha). I have no other premium squads, so all my other squads in Berlin, Moscow, Normandy and all the others in Tunisia are normal campaign unlockable squads. Battlepass doesn't affect in game performance at all, unless you mean by the gold orders you get. Arguably some of the guns might help you in game, like the Suomi I was using in this video, but to be honest all gold order weapons are only ever so slightly better or worse than campaign unlockable weapons, and you don't need them at all to do well! I only have 4 gold weapons and I spread them out in my campaigns (I think I have 2 in Tunisia (VMP and Pedersen rifle), the Suomi in Moscow and the Gewehr Kurz cartidge in Berlin. They feel cool to use and I do think they are all very nice, but by no means miles better than current campaign unlockable weapons. They're just a nice addition! I wasn't using any premium squad in this video either. I did have some fully levelled up squads though, but that comes from just playing well with the squads in game to level up quicker!
@@augustwhitlock7230 No problem, and the premium squads give you +100% xp for using them, i.e. you get 2x the xp than you would get on normal squads for the same time used for and kills. It's quite useful to level up your campaigns quicker. But if you mean "score" as in like making you perform better in-game, then that's different and really depends on how comfortable you are with the weapons they have etc and if you can make use of the perks they come with. But in reality they don't make much difference in terms of boosting any score, which is good, because therefore the game isn't pay to win
I’ve only been playing for a few days and I’ve already had a 180 kill loss on Normandy. I was pissed because I had 98 more kills than second place and I thought it would have been funny to get 100 more lol
Molotov usage has become much more prevalent in recent months, understandably so, they're quite multipurpose, and can cause squad wipes on their own, or burn out tanks if they land on the engine bay.
A lot of other players think they are useless, when in reality if used well you can get sooo many kills with them. There was at least one game a while back I got 150 kills in 1 game purely because of mortars (and engineers' ammo points to restock them) because if you can target where the AI spawn/where people make their AI stand, you get loads of kills and can clear points easily!
I was already grinding my teeth after 6 minutes. You run around a corner, see a squad behind the wall and just shoot a bit instead of marking them first. Sure, that helps you make more points than your teammates, but it does not help to win the game. Information and situational awareness is so important in this game. It does not make sense to let your teammates run into a trap. If you just mark them, there will be someone going around and flank them.
Sadly, this is not Hell Let Loose. Marking in Enlisted does not have the same effect on players as it would in that game, most players just ignore it (from my experience), unless it's a pilot. If I believe I can kill them all, I'll do that, as marking takes that little extra bit of time which might kill me if I don't. Plus, I know I have AI available to switch to to finish them off if I can't do it in one, or I'd THEN mark the position if I can't do it. Plus, it's only a public game. If this was more competitive, I'd mark much more often as I know people would actually pay attention to them. Yes, information and situational awareness is important to some extent, but nowhere near as much as HLL. If you run in, kill as many as possible, die, and repeat, you will win most of your games in public matches. I see your point definitely, but for the reasons above it's less important, and more... "fun" to just run in I guess
@@MajorMcDonalds I have had quite a different experience, frankly. Even if I set up a map marker as a mortar just for measuring purpose, it gets swarmed by players pretty fast. And it's not about marking every single enemy. But certainly whole squads, especially when you flank them anyway. There is plenty of time until they spot you while you are out of view. It saved my life way more often to mark than that it putt me in danger. If you struggle with the key, remap it or just combine it with the trigger.
They should add harsher penalties to deserters. This last match on Berlin had 6 Soviet deserters and a full team of lieutenant first class and majors on the enemy team.
Dude sometimes you don't want to play against sweaty dudes with max level guns and gear Today in normandy allies our team has a fucking 5 newbies and enemy got 3 sweaty dude with max guns paratroopers Newbies didn't go to objectives die to those 2 flanks and last guy is a tank main so my team got slaughtered They got condorMG STGs Flamethrowers
Thanks! Hope it helps! I've actually never changed my FOV, I just use the default which I believe is 90. But to be honest you could experiment yourself, and I might do. But beware it will distort your aiming until you are used to it!
Firstly get the mortar in hand, which is keyboard key ‘2’ by default. Then left mouse click to plant it and position it where you are standing. Aim at the objective/wherever you want to fire at by facing it, and you should see a few words pop up as you plant the mortar near the bottom of the screen saying distance in metres of how far you will fire. When you plant the mortar, you will also see how far away the marks you or your teammates made are, so you can aim at those too. Move your mouse up to increase the distance you fire, and down to decrease the distance. It takes like 10 seconds for mortars to land once fired (click left mouse again to fire once you position it) and you can see explosion icons on the minimap where your mortars hit so you can adjust if you want to based off of that too. Hope this helps!
idk how i managed but on my first ever battle i got 163 kills 57 of which where real players and something like 40+ squad wipes. and the second place person was at 53 kills.
@@MajorMcDonalds tho to be fair the enemy team was absolutely clueless. i was sniping from spawn and they killed every person except for me and then left me there to snipe from behind their lines where i got 60 kills when i finally got killed by i think the map boundaries then i spawn back in with an ab-41 and no one from the enemy team bothers to counter me for the entire battle they didn’t even spawn a single tank or throw even one grenade at me.
hey! thanks for the video. am i understanding this correctly...? you get soldiers of certain stars. say its 0/3. to get to rank 3 you can do it for free with xp? to get to 5 you need orders + xp? what about if say he is a rifleman, can i stick him in a rifle platoon and just use xp to get him five star? i dont get it to be honest. i purchased passives in the brigade skill tree but they dont seem to be applying? like to allow higher max level?
No problem! You should understand the difference between RANK and LEVEL. Rank is the total number of stars that a soldier has, and is the "cap" of what level that soldier can achieve. In order to access and unlock soldier perks, you need to LEVEL UP that troop, by playing games and earning XP with using it in battle (it can be an AI, it doesn't need to be the one you are actually using). Level of a soldier can be seen by the completely yellow stars, showing that you have a perk for that level. A flashing yellow star that is not coloured in shows you have enough XP to level up that soldier and unlock a perk, at which point it will become coloured in yellow. A grey outline of a star just shows the soldier rank. You need to rank up the troop in order to be able to earn xp in order to level up the troop. To rank up a soldier, you need to spend bronze troop orders and it costs more orders when they get closer to rank 5 already. You can put any troop in any squad he is allowed to be in and all of them level up the same way. In order to unlock the ability to make a, say, assaulter 1 troop type, rank 5, then you need to unlock the ability to do so by using the squad that is BASED off of assaulter 1 troop types and level the RED tree up. Hopefully this all makes sense and I've answered your questions, let me know if not! I might make a video on this actually, as trying to explain it all right now shows how confusing it is!
@@MajorMcDonalds yes that makes a lot of sense i think. so of i unlock a troop, its potential is outlined by the stars? to exceed that, i have to pay i forget the currency. but... like if it is 0/3 star.... i level it to3/3 star.... i cant hit 5/5 star even if it is in a battalion that has the passive to make 5 star troops of that type? thats whats throwing me off
@@yumuddah8735 yes, and you can change the number of stars/potential by ranking the soldier up. You can always make him 5 stars/rank 5 if you rank the soldier up after you’ve unlocked the passive perk as you say
Been playing this game last week. Mixed feelings about the game. The Flame thrower ruins the game. Plus as a new player You can't get one anyway and other better weapons. Once a building/hut/cabin needs to be held the Flame dude just camps . And the reverse for when they attack. When a squad member or soldier on the team dies you can't switch weapons or take ammo , so u stuck with a crappy bolt action rifle. But if you spend lots of money you can buy whatever you think you need. FF is not on so dropping bombs and tank fire ect..... can be used with no worries about team so its just constant with no skill or thought needed. Spawning can be a problem if you playing good players that know the map they just camp at spawn and nail as you spawn. On screen map to small to see wtf is going on, maybe there is another map key I've not found just yet. No communication with other team players so can't really be called a team game. Its like COD but with some bots that follow you . Complicated at times with all the different key functions. But as a Free game you have to recognise the effort put in to creating this game and the quality of work.
Youre running on the open fields too much, youre not putting your squad on defensive mode. You gotta run towards the cover and peek, pick off enemies and then repeat.
- Putting squad on defensive mode doesn't help (I assume you mean passive mode, instead just turn them to aggressive and let them shoot and get you free kills; they're too dumb to follow you and not die anyway so might as well let them shoot enemies) - Yes I ran across open fields too much but this map is literally so open so you can't avoid it, plus it's the quickest way to win games and best way to farm XP and level up quicker. If you try and hide too much you will take too long - Running towards cover and peeking is too slow, not efficient enough. This game is incredibly fast-paced, it's not slow, therefore this method may work but it is slower to gain XP and you will get fewer kills as a result
I crouch a hell of a lot normally, maybe not so much this game because attacking means you need to be on the move. I rarely go prone on the ground and never when attacking, my weapons used here are accurate enough without needing to so it’s kind of situational. Also going probe sometimes bugs out! But generally speaking yeah people should go prone and crouch more, but only when you know it’s difficult for the opponent to shoot you when you do
The game sucks, and its pay to play really. Who buys the most equipment, weapons and squad usually wins (Flame thrower and SMG}. You can slog away at points to upgrade but some pro will be camping at your spawn to make sure you don't. No balance to the teams and if you go any team option it will put you in a team of Noobs like me against a team of Vets. Find Enemy Territory a better game its free and what 15 years old but still more fun..
Mostly incorrect. It's only pay to progress quicker, not pay to win or pay to play. You can destroy enemies super easily with starting gear. Weapons and squads only help you win if you have 2 equal skill players against each other, which almost never happens, it's always a skill thing that decides who wins engagements. Camping at your player-built rally point spawns is a strategy that works, even though long term it won't. They can't spawn camp you at default spawn points, you have protection. What you are correct about is that there is no matchmaking, which is correct, and it definitely causes pain to new players. But the coming update will fix this very well, which is great to see.
@@MajorMcDonalds I'll try it again after your comments kinda spurred me on a bit. The spawn point can only be only be built by an engi with a certain level. Alll my engi can build is anti tank things and dig holes. I think it needs FF to be switched on. That was it stops bombing and flame spam. At times its like HLL, you spawn run a bit and die, but without the team play.
@@MajorMcDonalds played my first 3 rounds and just rekt them all, but the 4th match I got put into super veteran sweaties, interesting? After that I couldn't do a lot, nothing really to fight tanks or planes! The tanks I could use were so weak and so on. Certain maps are terrible designed, so as an attacker you're mostly cannon fodder. Also your bots are more a problem and often revealing your flanks, that I had to order them into corners lol...
non sono d'accordo, il gioco è molto divertente e ha un buon gameplay. ovviamente alcune cose possono essere migliorate ma è lo stesso con tutti i giochi.
I find my biggest issue in Enlisted so far is that i miss a lot of shot. Even when my crosshairs are dead center of an enemy torso, its like they just never hit. I really hate that and i end up dying a lot just because of that. Its such a pain knowing that my shots should have hit my target, only to get killed by the one who should be dead.
wow I really like your video doing a live unedited video. I felt relieved that I am doing the same thing as you did, but I'm still new to the game basically a noob for short.
@@MajorMcDonalds yeah I really am still pretty much on a learning stage of the game. So I'll just stick around your posts here on youtube to help me out. keep it coming and thank you for the tips. 😁
@@MajorMcDonalds by the way I have something to ask if it isn't a bother.. can I use my pre-existing soldiers/airmen/marine to a higher squads or vehicles? example my first fighter pilot to a new fighter plane? 😃
@@jansandman6983 Yes you can do that! To put a guy into a new squad, you have to probably replace him with another soldier in that squad you are taking him OUT of though. However, there is a minimum requirement of soldiers to leave in each squad, so only keep the bare minimum in the squads you are NOT using/in the reserve so you save on troops!

I hope you keep making these videos, they remind me of the old RUclips (2012-2013).
Idk your channel very well, but I can honestly say you're BA @ this!! Very well done. 👌
You got what hunters call buck fever. Good kills with motar.
Me: learning how to be better in enlisted
My internet: I'm gonna ruin this man's whole career
Ping: 600
That’s gotta hurt 😂 try changing server location maybe that’ll help
What's the best server to play tho?
@@opanzerinalake7341 depends on time of day and wherever you live. Obviously try connecting to the server that you are closest to, I.e. Eastern Europe, Europe or North America, as that’s most likely to do something
@@MajorMcDonalds aight thanks
@@novakkavon5418
Funnily enough the vast majority of the worst players are on the NA server, most of the competent and best players are on the EU server's 😅
I always really enjoy watching videos like this no matter where I'm at with the game it's just entertaining. Generally I like to try and figure out mechanics of the game I might not have learned but my sense of tactics is pretty well down. It seems like in enlisted you really just need to be adaptable and keep pushing. I usually get about 20 to 30 matches in a day and 90% of the time I'm usually in first place with often enough 100 to 150 kills. I only found out about this game about a month ago and I'm already up to about campaign level 25 in Moscow. Saving the everliving crap out of all of my tickets though before I really decide which campaign to invest in. Think I'm going to like them all though.
Thanks for all of this !
Glad to have helped!
This is amazing! I'm already performing better. Thanks again!
Glad to hear it helps! I mean there’s plenty of things I could have done better in this game too and things I shouldn’t have done, so I guess they need to be covered in future videos!
@@MajorMcDonalds What is the ratio do you estimate of the squads you use: the purchased/battle pass squads vs. the actually campaign unlocking squads. I don't have the battle pass so just curios how much they affect in game performance.
@@augustwhitlock7230 Battle pass squads? Not sure what you mean by that, you only get soldiers, weapons and vehicles from the battlepass which you can use in any campaign unlockable squads. I actually only currently have premium squads in Tunisia, the Moroccan one for Allies and the San Marco for Axis (both so I could review them on my channel in previous videos haha). I have no other premium squads, so all my other squads in Berlin, Moscow, Normandy and all the others in Tunisia are normal campaign unlockable squads. Battlepass doesn't affect in game performance at all, unless you mean by the gold orders you get. Arguably some of the guns might help you in game, like the Suomi I was using in this video, but to be honest all gold order weapons are only ever so slightly better or worse than campaign unlockable weapons, and you don't need them at all to do well! I only have 4 gold weapons and I spread them out in my campaigns (I think I have 2 in Tunisia (VMP and Pedersen rifle), the Suomi in Moscow and the Gewehr Kurz cartidge in Berlin. They feel cool to use and I do think they are all very nice, but by no means miles better than current campaign unlockable weapons. They're just a nice addition! I wasn't using any premium squad in this video either. I did have some fully levelled up squads though, but that comes from just playing well with the squads in game to level up quicker!
@@MajorMcDonalds Sorry I was unclear, I meant how much do the premium squads boost your score for people like me who don't spend money on the game.
@@augustwhitlock7230 No problem, and the premium squads give you +100% xp for using them, i.e. you get 2x the xp than you would get on normal squads for the same time used for and kills. It's quite useful to level up your campaigns quicker. But if you mean "score" as in like making you perform better in-game, then that's different and really depends on how comfortable you are with the weapons they have etc and if you can make use of the perks they come with. But in reality they don't make much difference in terms of boosting any score, which is good, because therefore the game isn't pay to win
The first thing I learned in this video, was to know what your doing and why you're doing it. LOL
I’ve only been playing for a few days and I’ve already had a 180 kill loss on Normandy. I was pissed because I had 98 more kills than second place and I thought it would have been funny to get 100 more lol
Molotov usage has become much more prevalent in recent months, understandably so, they're quite multipurpose, and can cause squad wipes on their own, or burn out tanks if they land on the engine bay.
many people leave because squads suddenly gets bugged. you can't control any1 of them. they move on their own.
Not sure I've ever had that bug before, weird
Keep practicing 🙂
Always :)
Why did the number of tickets rise at one point? It was down to 500ush and then when you to over 600!
It’s because when attacking teams capture points, they get extra tickets as like a reward to help with the next point :)
@@MajorMcDonalds AHH, so much to learn. Thanks for explaining.
Gracias! Aunque a veces no se si es un glicht o que Soy malo y ya. A veces los enemigos encuentran la forma
¡No hay problema! Más videos vendrán en el futuro
Good video, hooked me in the moment U shot your mortars. I just wrote them off as bad, but clearly I'm bad lol. Definitely keep up the vids
A lot of other players think they are useless, when in reality if used well you can get sooo many kills with them. There was at least one game a while back I got 150 kills in 1 game purely because of mortars (and engineers' ammo points to restock them) because if you can target where the AI spawn/where people make their AI stand, you get loads of kills and can clear points easily!
Great stuff...thanks pal
I was already grinding my teeth after 6 minutes. You run around a corner, see a squad behind the wall and just shoot a bit instead of marking them first.
Sure, that helps you make more points than your teammates, but it does not help to win the game. Information and situational awareness is so important in this game.
It does not make sense to let your teammates run into a trap.
If you just mark them, there will be someone going around and flank them.
Sadly, this is not Hell Let Loose. Marking in Enlisted does not have the same effect on players as it would in that game, most players just ignore it (from my experience), unless it's a pilot. If I believe I can kill them all, I'll do that, as marking takes that little extra bit of time which might kill me if I don't. Plus, I know I have AI available to switch to to finish them off if I can't do it in one, or I'd THEN mark the position if I can't do it. Plus, it's only a public game. If this was more competitive, I'd mark much more often as I know people would actually pay attention to them. Yes, information and situational awareness is important to some extent, but nowhere near as much as HLL. If you run in, kill as many as possible, die, and repeat, you will win most of your games in public matches. I see your point definitely, but for the reasons above it's less important, and more... "fun" to just run in I guess
@@MajorMcDonalds I have had quite a different experience, frankly. Even if I set up a map marker as a mortar just for measuring purpose, it gets swarmed by players pretty fast.
And it's not about marking every single enemy. But certainly whole squads, especially when you flank them anyway. There is plenty of time until they spot you while you are out of view. It saved my life way more often to mark than that it putt me in danger. If you struggle with the key, remap it or just combine it with the trigger.
@@mcgeufer Marking with the trigger is actually genius. If you're shooting at them anyway might as well mark them.
They should add harsher penalties to deserters.
This last match on Berlin had 6 Soviet deserters and a full team of lieutenant first class and majors on the enemy team.
Agreed
Dude sometimes you don't want to play against sweaty dudes with max level guns and gear Today in normandy allies our team has a fucking 5 newbies and enemy got 3 sweaty dude with max guns paratroopers Newbies didn't go to objectives die to those 2 flanks and last guy is a tank main so my team got slaughtered They got condorMG STGs Flamethrowers
Good video.
What fov setting do you reccomend?
Thanks! Hope it helps! I've actually never changed my FOV, I just use the default which I believe is 90. But to be honest you could experiment yourself, and I might do. But beware it will distort your aiming until you are used to it!
Thank you major maccas
How do you aim the mortar?
Firstly get the mortar in hand, which is keyboard key ‘2’ by default. Then left mouse click to plant it and position it where you are standing. Aim at the objective/wherever you want to fire at by facing it, and you should see a few words pop up as you plant the mortar near the bottom of the screen saying distance in metres of how far you will fire. When you plant the mortar, you will also see how far away the marks you or your teammates made are, so you can aim at those too. Move your mouse up to increase the distance you fire, and down to decrease the distance. It takes like 10 seconds for mortars to land once fired (click left mouse again to fire once you position it) and you can see explosion icons on the minimap where your mortars hit so you can adjust if you want to based off of that too. Hope this helps!
@@MajorMcDonalds
Watching on mobil and couldnt see if there was any marking on the mini map.
Thanks 😀 👍
idk how i managed but on my first ever battle i got 163 kills 57 of which where real players and something like 40+ squad wipes. and the second place person was at 53 kills.
Must be a gift from God
@@MajorMcDonalds tho to be fair the enemy team was absolutely clueless. i was sniping from spawn and they killed every person except for me and then left me there to snipe from behind their lines where i got 60 kills when i finally got killed by i think the map boundaries then i spawn back in with an ab-41 and no one from the enemy team bothers to counter me for the entire battle they didn’t even spawn a single tank or throw even one grenade at me.
The smg spam is gonna make me go insane in moscow lol
its machine guns in general that get on my nerves to be honest
In Moscow I get Molotovs thrown at me a lot
hey! thanks for the video. am i understanding this correctly...? you get soldiers of certain stars. say its 0/3. to get to rank 3 you can do it for free with xp? to get to 5 you need orders + xp? what about if say he is a rifleman, can i stick him in a rifle platoon and just use xp to get him five star? i dont get it to be honest. i purchased passives in the brigade skill tree but they dont seem to be applying? like to allow higher max level?
No problem! You should understand the difference between RANK and LEVEL. Rank is the total number of stars that a soldier has, and is the "cap" of what level that soldier can achieve. In order to access and unlock soldier perks, you need to LEVEL UP that troop, by playing games and earning XP with using it in battle (it can be an AI, it doesn't need to be the one you are actually using). Level of a soldier can be seen by the completely yellow stars, showing that you have a perk for that level. A flashing yellow star that is not coloured in shows you have enough XP to level up that soldier and unlock a perk, at which point it will become coloured in yellow. A grey outline of a star just shows the soldier rank. You need to rank up the troop in order to be able to earn xp in order to level up the troop. To rank up a soldier, you need to spend bronze troop orders and it costs more orders when they get closer to rank 5 already. You can put any troop in any squad he is allowed to be in and all of them level up the same way. In order to unlock the ability to make a, say, assaulter 1 troop type, rank 5, then you need to unlock the ability to do so by using the squad that is BASED off of assaulter 1 troop types and level the RED tree up.
Hopefully this all makes sense and I've answered your questions, let me know if not! I might make a video on this actually, as trying to explain it all right now shows how confusing it is!
@@MajorMcDonalds yes that makes a lot of sense i think. so of i unlock a troop, its potential is outlined by the stars? to exceed that, i have to pay i forget the currency. but... like if it is 0/3 star.... i level it to3/3 star.... i cant hit 5/5 star even if it is in a battalion that has the passive to make 5 star troops of that type? thats whats throwing me off
@@MajorMcDonalds also thank you for a reply i appreciate it
@@yumuddah8735 yes, and you can change the number of stars/potential by ranking the soldier up. You can always make him 5 stars/rank 5 if you rank the soldier up after you’ve unlocked the passive perk as you say
@@MajorMcDonalds thank you
I wish they had keyboard and mouse support for console players (im on ps4)
Been playing this game last week. Mixed feelings about the game. The Flame thrower ruins the game. Plus as a new player You can't get one anyway and other better weapons. Once a building/hut/cabin needs to be held the Flame dude just camps . And the reverse for when they attack. When a squad member or soldier on the team dies you can't switch weapons or take ammo , so u stuck with a crappy bolt action rifle. But if you spend lots of money you can buy whatever you think you need. FF is not on so dropping bombs and tank fire ect..... can be used with no worries about team so its just constant with no skill or thought needed. Spawning can be a problem if you playing good players that know the map they just camp at spawn and nail as you spawn. On screen map to small to see wtf is going on, maybe there is another map key I've not found just yet. No communication with other team players so can't really be called a team game. Its like COD but with some bots that follow you . Complicated at times with all the different key functions. But as a Free game you have to recognise the effort put in to creating this game and the quality of work.
m key on pc brings up large version of map
While watching this video I got a 70 kill game with one squad
Man its really hard to hit stuff with those german carbines. The bullet speed on those are trash
Admirable. I hope not to meet you in battle. 💣😁
I really have no idea how to play. I just hide and try to shoot bad ass machine gunners with my lil weak pop gun.
It is okay if I can add you as a friend on Enlisted?
More than fine! :)
@@MajorMcDonalds Thanks! You make a good video here and please upload more of your gameplay for Enlisted. You have a amazing voice for a gamer.
@@itzvincentx3 Thank you so much! I definitely will, thank you! I already have one more in this series on my channel already too.
Like before i played battle of moscow campaing my win rate was 87, now its 63 NEVER play germany with the default weapons
The thing about this game is it isn't so much a shooter as it is a war economy game
Enlisted need to make their AI just follow you everywhere
They do already!
Youre running on the open fields too much, youre not putting your squad on defensive mode.
You gotta run towards the cover and peek, pick off enemies and then repeat.
- Putting squad on defensive mode doesn't help (I assume you mean passive mode, instead just turn them to aggressive and let them shoot and get you free kills; they're too dumb to follow you and not die anyway so might as well let them shoot enemies)
- Yes I ran across open fields too much but this map is literally so open so you can't avoid it, plus it's the quickest way to win games and best way to farm XP and level up quicker. If you try and hide too much you will take too long
- Running towards cover and peeking is too slow, not efficient enough. This game is incredibly fast-paced, it's not slow, therefore this method may work but it is slower to gain XP and you will get fewer kills as a result

My bad you can pick up a weapon, but the game is still ruined by Flamer, and better equiped enemy players.
A playable ping would be nice ..
Do more german videos
Am i the only one that thinks this guy should make use of crouching and lying prone more?
I crouch a hell of a lot normally, maybe not so much this game because attacking means you need to be on the move. I rarely go prone on the ground and never when attacking, my weapons used here are accurate enough without needing to so it’s kind of situational. Also going probe sometimes bugs out! But generally speaking yeah people should go prone and crouch more, but only when you know it’s difficult for the opponent to shoot you when you do
😂😂😂hilarious
The game sucks, and its pay to play really. Who buys the most equipment, weapons and squad usually wins (Flame thrower and SMG}. You can slog away at points to upgrade but some pro will be camping at your spawn to make sure you don't. No balance to the teams and if you go any team option it will put you in a team of Noobs like me against a team of Vets. Find Enemy Territory a better game its free and what 15 years old but still more fun..
Mostly incorrect. It's only pay to progress quicker, not pay to win or pay to play. You can destroy enemies super easily with starting gear. Weapons and squads only help you win if you have 2 equal skill players against each other, which almost never happens, it's always a skill thing that decides who wins engagements. Camping at your player-built rally point spawns is a strategy that works, even though long term it won't. They can't spawn camp you at default spawn points, you have protection.
What you are correct about is that there is no matchmaking, which is correct, and it definitely causes pain to new players. But the coming update will fix this very well, which is great to see.
@@MajorMcDonalds I'll try it again after your comments kinda spurred me on a bit. The spawn point can only be only be built by an engi with a certain level. Alll my engi can build is anti tank things and dig holes. I think it needs FF to be switched on. That was it stops bombing and flame spam. At times its like HLL, you spawn run a bit and die, but without the team play.
@@fredshred5194 incorrect.. rallies can be built by any engineer starting level 1.. you gotta bring up build menu and swap to the thing you want
@@robbieeinbeck9315 deinstalled dude, just glad I didn't have to pay any money for the game.
@@fredshred5194 skill issue
That game is trash, don't play it guys!
It's pay2win and most of the time even as a good inf player you get farmed by op stuff.
It's not pay to win at all. You can easily demolish every player with bolt action rifles if you are skilled enough.
@@MajorMcDonalds played my first 3 rounds and just rekt them all, but the 4th match I got put into super veteran sweaties, interesting? After that I couldn't do a lot, nothing really to fight tanks or planes! The tanks I could use were so weak and so on. Certain maps are terrible designed, so as an attacker you're mostly cannon fodder. Also your bots are more a problem and often revealing your flanks, that I had to order them into corners lol...
gioco di merda
non sono d'accordo, il gioco è molto divertente e ha un buon gameplay. ovviamente alcune cose possono essere migliorate ma è lo stesso con tutti i giochi.
I find my biggest issue in Enlisted so far is that i miss a lot of shot. Even when my crosshairs are dead center of an enemy torso, its like they just never hit. I really hate that and i end up dying a lot just because of that. Its such a pain knowing that my shots should have hit my target, only to get killed by the one who should be dead.
wow I really like your video doing a live unedited video. I felt relieved that I am doing the same thing as you did, but I'm still new to the game basically a noob for short.
Don’t worry, we all started somewhere!
@@MajorMcDonalds yeah I really am still pretty much on a learning stage of the game. So I'll just stick around your posts here on youtube to help me out. keep it coming and thank you for the tips. 😁
@@MajorMcDonalds by the way I have something to ask if it isn't a bother.. can I use my pre-existing soldiers/airmen/marine to a higher squads or vehicles? example my first fighter pilot to a new fighter plane? 😃
@@jansandman6983 Yes you can do that! To put a guy into a new squad, you have to probably replace him with another soldier in that squad you are taking him OUT of though. However, there is a minimum requirement of soldiers to leave in each squad, so only keep the bare minimum in the squads you are NOT using/in the reserve so you save on troops!
5 minutes in and i havent learned jack shit
