The BEST Enlisted Nation For New Players

What's the BEST Enlisted Nation For New Players?

00:00 Intro
00:45 Worst to Best

[HeyQuadro]

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

[dolfanyt]

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

[hollowknight]

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

[jonathanbourke]

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

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

[thatluckysnxiper]

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

[makanabarrientos]

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

[ghostinthesmoke]

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.

[matthewjones]

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

[redpanda]

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.

[jamesbeatty]

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)

[pokecraft]

Japan really need a new map such as battle of Okinawa, Battle of Iwo Jima, or even battle with the soviet in Manchuria

[lencao]

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.

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)

[Spykitty]

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.

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.

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

[IamPete]

Usa is honestly my favorite faction. I just like it

[tomcat]

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.

[ThomasBarth-grsz]

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.
