I put in the wrong clip for the soviets part, my bad dudes lol

My two best tips for new players who choose to play any faction is to #1: Build spawnpoints #2: Play the objective

1) Equip engineers and build rallies. 2) Use spot key (“V”) to spot enemies 3) Don’t run straight at them, flank instead 4) Use “X” to order the rest of your squad to positions. Useful to send at an objective while you flank, or to run across a street where enemy positions are unknown

Biggest tip: no matter how good or bad you are BUILD RALLY POINTS. Everyone on your team will love you and even if your team sucks a few well placed rally points can even the fight or give you an edge

While I agree soviet has great kit. Soviet playerbase seems to lack good players. I often find myself in matches with what feels like a 1 vs 5 real players because my team is not building rallies and Im 100 kills above the second player and trying to cap and build rallies solo.

I only played for maybe two years but my advice for new players is dismiss your snipers, get more engineers, build rally points, build anmo box when assaulting point so submachine gunners have more ammo to clean up the point because your silly bolt-action won't do it fast enough. Other than that, just chill, don't be a sore loser, don't be bitter. Here, we win some and lose some.

The only reason to play the Japanese is if you want an accurate portrayal of what it was like to be an extra in hacksaw ridge

8:45 bro missed the perfect chance to say "Or rather, being *ENLISTED* into the red army"

Pepole who play: join any faction:🗿

As Germany Main: *I'm basically defending all fronts!* haha

Japan as a faction really was overlooked in the merge considering that they yet have a tier 5 and both their tanks/aircraft are at a large disadvantage in general. The Ho I, a 75mm tank, for some reason has trouble penetrating a M5 and the role of the separate machine gunner (that honestly seems like a niche role to compensate for a lack of a coax machine gun) makes it harder for a starter tank crew of 3 when that role could be used for a loader. As for aircraft, they still have take off from their ships while a P38 can just instantly spawn and wipe out the team.

That grenade throw at that dude in the pillbox was disrespectful 💀

Alright random fact cause I noticed it on one of your squads, the apc driver for the premium German squad starts in the gunner spot, not the driver spot ( the apc operates 100x better if you move them to the driver position)

Nice video, just started playing yesterday and in any WW2 game I always want to play for the Soviets the most so guess I am lucky on this game.

USA goes in all fields. I've been deliberately playing tier 1 USA and it is almost exploitative how much exp I'm getting per match. As tier 1 you can equip M3 Grease Guns and Stens - which are full-powered SMGs and some of the best and smoothest to use in the entire game, yet still BR-1. You win *every* battle (yes, 100% rate so far) with full medals and exp boosters. You can also play Tunisia and Pacific maps, besides Bulge and Normandy, so great variety too.

This video is so true great advice.

The Pros and Cons for Germany at the start is very True, i don't usually play Germany in World War 2 games but the occasional moments where i feel like playing Germany i don't wanna do it because of the negatives of playing Germany and being called a wehraboo when i ain't one (far from it). But for real though i do have to agree with this list from worst to best starter nations. As someone who's pretty much completed Normandy Allies before the Merge i hadn't had to play much low tier games. However it is definitely more rough to play Allies when you are put against the better tanks and high tier guns of Germany. However i do feel like Allies is the most rewarding in terms of feeling. I love being in a Sherman and finding a way to beat a Tiger 2 by destroying the gun barrel and landing a lucking shot in the MG port to blow the tank up. The only faction i have yet to play is Japan but i have heard they got good infantry equipment but because Japan is stuck in the pacific they are going to be placed in tier 4 games regardless of your BR. So they will always be pitted against Allies with some of the higher tier equipment, but then again they had to deal with a good portion of those weapons prior to the merge so i'm not sure if it's that bad of a thing. (however when the Pershing gets added that will definitely be a cursed yet interesting thing seeing it on the Pacific) I have been playing Soviets and even with Mosin's i still do pretty good overall, the Soviets are definitely the go to faction for new players if you wanna have a good start to the game. Germany can be a pretty fun one do to them being everywhere but the Pacific. A common problem with both Allies and Soviets is that there's a distinct lack of team play, nobody building rallies or rarely spotting tanks and so on. Meanwhile the Germans do tend to build rallies just about everywhere and do work well together.

Usa is honestly my favorite faction. I just like it

Bro Madsen is a beast its a fully automated oneshot sniper as long as you dont have stormtrooper aim its damn op

In my personal opinion, the best faction to start with is the one you think is the coolest.

I main a medic squad it’s really fun even with the base weapons I have a blast(of course for the USA)

i honestly would say germany is the best faction to play since they have the largest map pool out of any faction - players who main germany would experience most of the maps and have the greatest variety of matches plus, their tech tree is ironically the most diverse with weapons/vehicles from italy, hungary, romania, czech, and a french rifle (and if we consider gold order weapons, we can add weapons from finland, belgium, and mexico to that list)

For me if I was to suggest to a new player what faction to go with it would be Germany first that’s where a majority of the players are (this is what it feels like to me), then the Soviets/Western Allies, and finally Japan. The long 76 tanks can knock out all of the German big cats from the front of the turret with the exception of the Tiger 2 H version you have to capola it but the US APHE has a weird fuse in it that causes it to not always trigger in time to cause damage.

I love the sights on the German first rifles, (the ones you start with when you first start playing like kar98k gever-something) and the m1903a1usmc (same sights) as the ring really helps a little with targeting and I prefer snipers as hitting what I want is easier as I fully understand scopes. The standard 1903 sights are the next best. All other on top of weapon sights are here. The off to the side ones are the worst. I am a beginner and usually play America (I am American) but do recognize that other countries are better at some things. My second favorite is the Germans (mainly do to the aforementioned amazing sights). The Russians and Japanese are tied for last as they have nothing notable yet.

Stay on the move

I only played the soviets (and one match as the germans due to the game automatically putting me in the "play any faction" option), and only played a little, so take my advices with a grain of salt: General advice: -Do not worry for your squad: The AI is dumb as a brick, and has the reaction of one. Put them on a safe spot if you want, but trying to keep them alive is only going to be stressful and not worth it, at least early on. -If you are a tanker: STAY BEHIND and support your team. Use your machine gun and HE against garrisoned buildings and defensive structures. Use AP to deal with enemy tanks that may appear. Otherwise a competent enemy team will soon teach you how blind and clumsy your tank really is. (Also, if you see an enemy tank, spot it for your team, V as default, so they know where it is.) -Flank around! Don't always go through predictable routes. If you see an enemy that spot you through a window, don't show yourself again through that window, unless you are feeling really lucky. -Use your grenades! count to 4 for frags, and 5 for explosive charges. (Extra tip: throw explosive charges under tanks if possible. Makes it harder for them to avoid them). Molotovs to be annoying. -If you have more squads that you can fit in your roster: Strip as much gear off the squads you are not using as possible! Specially explosives, as they will help you better customize the squads you are actually using. -As things are at the momment of this posts: Engineers can make or break your team! Ensure that there are good rally points and enough ammo boxes for your team! A team without any of these twos is a losing team. URSS advice: -The Anti-tank rifle is effective at relative close ranges. Therefore, either flank tanks or aim to their tracks to inmobilize them. Extra points if you coordinate with a friend to throw an explosive charge after the tank is a sitting duck. -Also, The Anti Tank rifle is quite effective at killing infantry as well, so don't be afraid to take the shot in an emergency. -The T-60 sucks... don't bother to use it, it will struggle killing enemy tanks, and it's barely better than other tanks at killing infantry.

It's a good guide, but to win it honestly depends on the meta. Usually the best players play Germany and that's why they often win even though they arguably have a worse tech tree

Since the merge, I feel like the allies are actually able to win games now, which is a nice experience. Especially compared to how badly they used to balance the teams, wkth the axis almost always beinf high ranked Pc players against low ranking console players. I still feel like the axis seems to be the best equipped and attracts the higher ranked players. Since the merge, they are also able to have a Panzer IV from the beginning. Whilst the allies have a choice of a Stuart, a AA half track, and a light british tank from the offset.

I think that Japan is the most beginner friendly faction in the game since it doesn't overwhelm you while too many weapons or squads per tier, like in the german for example.

I did not expect to see the British Linchester in the background gameplay for the allies

Think I’ve decided to go with Germany. Coming from War Thunder while also being a long time battlefield player, I’m looking forward to the tanking.

Playing BR2 USSR you know what my winrate is after 400 battles? 34%. Good luck playing at low BRs as the Soviets. What can I say.

I like allies the most but soviets are also good but i can't for some reason use their weapons they are weird for me

I wanted to play the Germans but I tought first that I unlock the Squads for all nations and had 6 games done as the Allies so I'm an allies player now.

How would you guys feel about a non historic (fictional) update that covers a russia vs japan conflict? It never happened in ww2 but would be interesting to see a fictional campaign about it.. plus it gives more reason to play japan 😅

You wanna a tip greenhorn ? Alright, listen up ! The secret to victory ! bUiLd RaLlY pOiNt Oh, and press V each time you see baddies. Even if your comrades don't give a sh*t, your squad's AIs will.

Since the merge Germany is the easiest. The rest of the factions you will often bet stuck with what feels like playing the whole match alone with friendlies refusing to build rallies, spot enemies, and often just camping until you lose repeatedly.

You gotta tel me how to use the lunge mine. It barely ever works.

I just let the game pick for me usually but I did grind the US faction early on until I got the Garand for all my riflemen

unfortunately i picked the americans without much thought ... in low BR the difference is unnoticeable and we can even argue that in some aspects is superior to its counter parts but in BR 4-5 the difference in power is really noticeable

Good list, good video, as always. I'd just add that Soviet MG squad is worth for the DShK alone, which can mow down waves easily. New players remember to find a KZfaq who has an affiliate link, hook yourself up with a week of free premium, there's nothing to loose. If you're starting, definitely don't pick Americans, they are quite horrible until the later tiers. I absolutely agree with Quadro, USSR and Germany are a way to go, although I'd personally recommend USSR.

Bro what was that explosion pack hahahah it came with hate or what😂

I love to play germany, it was my first choice and I still rock it. About the airpower of Germans, I think German planes are strongly equipped, BUT! They are not as armorded as allied planes. If you play high tier fighters of Germany you have to rely on speed, detect enemy first, get on their tail, aim for their engines and wings, if you play attackers, then your armored better than the fighters, but you're slower, so you gotta be carefull with these and try to check if you're safe to go bombing, and let's not forget, you can also fight allied planes and soviet planes with anti aircraft gun built by engineers.

I want to say this the allies bolt actions most in tier 1-2 has no bayonets the 5 rifles that can take such is literally the first two rifles in unlock which are both M1903s the Ross,enfield p14 and m1917 do not compared to Germans with 9/10 of their rifles allowing them to take bayonets the allies is a faction that lacks bayonets for the beginning (this exclusive to manual actions and not guns that can’t even take bayonets in the the first place)

I'd switch 1 and 2 the late game. German fighters arent a drawback: Late war Fw and Bf 109 G-14 at teir 5 are excellent fighters able to matvh the Allies and Soviets in the skies.

every nation except for the soviets get AT weapons with explosive payloads at br 2, which is miles better than using the ptrs for killing tanks, might be "easier" if youre experienced, becuase you dont have to arc the projectile, but an explosive payload will almost always be better if you can hit anywhere on the tank

Quadro's soviet biased confirmed

I been playing so wrong 😂 I just play with every faction and rank them up no wonder I don’t have any good guns or vehicles

one thing to note is that the allies have the paid matilda tank in br2 and that tank is ridiciously op for br2 imo

Tip: dont buy many shotguns, i dont think that ya can have more than one per sqad, also, the German shotgun used by the pilots ( said the description) can't be equiped fór the air supperiority no.1 pilot

I played soviet to experience the other end of russian bias

You dont think the madsen is the worst gun in enlisted?

I swear since this video, nobody is playing Allies or Japan - Pacific games are starting less than half full

6:58 I see that Gaijin has a russian bias here too.

I think another reason drawback with allies is that tank is not that good compared with tiger II and IS 2 if they were 1v1 tank only battle I think only tank that is kind of useful is jumbo, they should of add M26 Perishing or any heavy tank as some of tank like M8 Scott, M10 and M18 GMC not bad tanks but only problem is if players Flank around the tank basically gun down all tankers or destroyed it ether anti tank weapon like Panzerfaust, RPzB (never try), GGP 40, or even you can turn that tank into hot grill with flamethrower, other tanks are not bad but lacking of armor like M4A2 but beside I think Jumbo kind of best because armor as other tanker dont one shot you with front most of time

Real scenario : Germany - Nice maps , amazing rifles , early game smg and mg kinda suck , Get 2-3 amazing players or get a whole brain dead team Allies - Nice maps , balanced everything , I like the sniper Soviets - I only played against them but BUT , it’s either a very competitive team or they have 1 or 2 god tier players who steamroll through brain dead German team . The SMG is sooo good , picked up one as a pilot ended up taking down 2 whole squads . Japanese - only pacific , long wait periods , smol tech tree

The best nation to play is the one you enjoy and have a connection with. Let's say US has amazing gear but I grew up with Eastern front movies so USSR/Germany are the obvious choice for me.

Doesn't really matter. After the merge, the emphasis on "balance" will eventually mean all rifles will be the same. All semi autos will be the same. All MGs will be the same. Heck, Japan's tier 5 guns are being beefed up (20 rounds IRL to 30 rounds IG) just to compete with USA. And at that, the BR system just means rifles will fight other rifles. Semis will fight other semis. Drum SMGs will fight other drum SMGs. That means no real variation to games.

Make sure you load it on an SSD and not a HDD or your load-in will be extremely long!

Quadro: starts talking about the soviets Also quadro: shows clip where he plays as the germans Jokes aside, I don't really think that most new players will enjoy low br soviet battles. Only being able to play against the germans that beat them in basically anything other than submachineguns and are also usually old players that will torment you in Moscow (3br germany constaantly comes into 2br, with 5 Pz.4 Js for every KV1, germany has impact grenades that can explode even t28s with 2 shots) is probably not a very fun experience. More players on low tier germany will definitely help with balance, with less 3br tanks and more equal battles. However, as a soviet main, i say if you feel like it I see no reason why you shouldn't play as red army.

Damn i started soviet and I was still suffering to progresss past rank 2. The grind is so slow. Thank god i didnt pick another nation, it could be even worse.

if they actually add Manchurian maps to to the game so the Japanese can fight the USSR, man that would be nice.

Unfortunately, I can't agree, I really don't. What you said is correct!! You just didn't consider something... A LOT more players play Axis, Russian only gets Axis. The new match making try make balanced games, but the Soviet side many times got unbalanced games, because less people play it. Axis and USA the most played fraction now, these two got strong (real player) team...

I think Germany should get the me 262 for br5

As a veteran who started a new account after the merge, I can say this, the Soviets are not good for newbies. The weapons are nice, but Quadro forgot to bring up the player base. The Soviet players do not play objective or build rallies. Constantly being the one to build rallies or push an objective, i can not count the number of times I've seen allies AROUND the objective rather than on it

We not building any rally points with this one

And you're saying this now... After i played for one week

That a simple answer: Deutschland, Deutschland über alles, Über alles in der Welt

Germany has good fighters

8:47 Missed opportunity to say 'getting enlisted into the red army'

Honestly as a germany player, just use whatever appeals to you. Im crazy for stuff like FG-42's and the slick black uniforms, but america has cool stuff, russia has cool stuff, japan... Okay japan needs some love

here's the quick list : 1)URRS 2) Germany 3)America 4)Japan

Japanese: Assault German: Tank/Rifle/Machine-gun American: Aircraft Soviet: Solid second place in everything/Allrounder

if you play germany as a beginner have fun with usa grenade spammers and ussr sweats

who need guns when you have impact nades and AP mines

What is the allies

impact grenade spam😪

SoViEt BiAs !!!!11!111!!111!oneoneone!!1!one

Enlisted shoul've seperated The British nation from USA

Axis always x)

basically , Sovet beat Germany , Germany beat America , and America beat japan , that how it works mostly in the game

I understand and apriciate your view and opinion l. But i agree and disagree with what you said. Iny opinion i like to group them in 2 group, 1. Great for low br and early war 2. Great for high br and late war + Low br (br1 and br2) and early war 1. West allies America and Britain ( Great rifle line,the only nation that got semi auto in br 2 beside germany. M1 carbine and granade launcher m1 carbine. Great Anti tank that can pen most of early war tank, m9 bazooka. Good tank line up,l that kinda surviveable, m3 Grant and m3 Lee. Yeah good luck kill 7 of my crew member. Decent LMG berthier and bren mk2 is decent in fire rate and damage for mowing enemy at medium and close range. Absolutely good fighter plane, p51 Mustang and decent CAS sbd-2.) 2. Germany ( Good rifle line up, got semi auto rifle but only had 5 rounds,Italian mondragon riflel if IM not mistaken. Good Anti tank gun that can preaty much any tank maybe not all Soviet tank, sturmpistole. Good LMG with high rate of fire but only had 26 round,mg13. Decent tank that can support infantry and fight other tank pnzr 3 and puma. Insane fighter and CASS plane, fw-190, bf110-g and stuka.) 3. Soviet ( Good rifle line up but no semi auto compensated with lever action, Winchester 1898. Absolutely good SMG for cqc and medium range,ppsh42. Decent Anti tank gun with semi auto mechanism, ptrs 41. Good tank that can actually bounce a shot,t50 and kv 1. Great fighter and CASS plane, yak 9 and il 2 1941. 4. Japanesee ( Basic rifle line possible worst cause only get semi auto on br 4. Great SMG good for cqc and medium range also can bayonate charge, type 100 and type 2a. Decent aircraft line up fighter and CASS. Preaty bad tank and spaa that can get you wiped cause open top. Good Anti tank gun that fire semi auto mechanism. That is my list for low br and early war stuff. and now for high br i absolute agree with you. Japanesse lack long range rifle with fire power and pretty small variate. The American had worst SMG that can see anything while ADS, no assault rifle that can mow enemy, although American had monster LMG m1919a1, no heavy tank that could fight toe to toe with Tiger. Germany had great infantry weapon, great LMG, mg-42 great assault rifle stg great semi auto. Good Anti tank gun, panzertfaust 100 and panzershrek.great heavy tank and tank destroyer. Tiger 2 and panzer 38t. Decent plane. Soviet good absolutely monster infantry weapon line up, decent Anti tank gun that can pen most tank. Good heavy tank and tank destroyer. Monster plane like la 5n. Yeah i kinda agree

Considering that grinding this game takes a long time, I don't think looking at end-game gears is a good way to 'start' a game. As you said in the video, the USSR suffers early game with MG and AT weapons (and I would add that the MP40 is still better than both PPSs in most of the cases), and let's not forget that these new players will have to struggle being blasted by Pz IVs all the time while being supported by... mostly T-50s or T-28s (Let's be real, as long as BR III is like this the T-34s are just a myth at this point.) and that's definitely not a good start. I will be honest, if you're gonna start the Enlisted right now... The German is just a no brainer, being 2nd or the best at everything all the way to the very end, unless you're those who complain that this faction needs 100/250-round belt-fed LMG right now to 'compete', of course.

Br2 soviet is hell. The sheer lack of decent players and teamwork is appalling

Nah late war Germans have Bf109 it's so freaking good and its cannons are much better than those weak 12.7mms

Soviets. Used to be Berlin Soviets. Now just Soviets. Wester allies have weak planes. Once you sit into La-5 or even better La-7 and go into custom all-nation fights, tehre is nothing even close. You will outmaneouver P-51 and P-47 like nothing. Not to mention Yak1 and Yak7 if used for air superiority.

I'm a German main, and yes, I'm a Wehraboo

I personally prefer the Germans because of the uniforms 😂😂😂, and the weapons and what not

I redownloaded the game I swear to god I have to defend every game with actually brain dead npcs on my team while I have to go against no life discordians

I just play the U.S and USSR at this point because my only other maxed nation is Germany, and i can't stand U.S cas lol.

Bro is playing moscow axis while talking about USSR💀💀💀

Dont even think of looking at Germany they lose 90% of the time

From what I saw USA in the laughing stock of the game.I played with every other nation and had good matches even if i lost ,but with USA enemy wiped the floor with us in many matches didn't passed the first objective in 10 matches I had one win and that beacouse time expired. I presume is a players problem beacouse many of new players like me pick USA as first nation.

Nah, soviet not so great for first play grind. Axis players too hardcore smurfs, newbie gameplay will be ruined. Japan actually more friendly because you not will dropped to 5 BR adainst Allies. And after sometime can focus on sides. Allies have good midcore experience. And for hardcore it's Soviet or Axis.

For me Tier 2 is the sweet spot for any nation. I have been playing tier 2 Americans and I will not be playing tier 5 Americans anymore.

Definitely not Germany. At the latest BR3 onwards absolutely nothing works.

no the USSR has the bast sub guns to me at least

weird a russian company makes soviets have the best items.

red army is strongest by far but the players in the red army are not the strongest

best nation is germany i swear go there, i will totally not farm you promise
