Making Enlisted a Better Place №1
Announcing a new weekly series to help make Enlisted a better game!
Each update of "Making Enlisted a Better Place" will focus on a particular aspect of the game or a particular mechanic, where we'll fix bugs or add interesting features.
The realized improvements will mostly or even completely be based on the feedback you leave in the special topics and discussions on the online communities.
Engineering

Each class plays a role in victory. Every class will do better if the Engineer assists in it. A jack of all trades is useful both defensively and offensively. This chapter focuses more on improving the Engineer building experience and teamwork.
Rotating structure projection
A long-awaited improvement. You can now rotate any engineering structure before confirming the start of the building process. By default the rotation happens clockwise by pressing "R" for PC, "X" for Xbox and the "square" button for Playstation.
From now on there is no need to run out in front of enemy fire to clarify the position of an artillery cannon or sandbags!
Also, the projection of the mobile assembly point now shows the direction in which the squad leader will be looking. Help your allies get their bearings faster, and they'll thank you for it.
Quick chat upgrade
It would be useful for all players to make team Engineers more aware of their comrades' needs. Your allies can now request an ammo box or mobile assembly point.
The new commands are available in the "Ask..." submenu. And the players who made the request will be displayed for a while on the minicard, if your squad has an Engineer.
Making the construction process easier
Have you ever seen the time when, after setting up a structure whilst lying down, your Engineer literally couldn't reach it with their awesome hammer? You have to crawl a little closer, wasting time and risking being detected.
We fixed that defect. Hammers at the ready!
The full changelog
- Updated the leaderboard chart for Events. Now it correctly calculates the number of battles and percentage of wins. First places will no longer be occupied by players that participated in only one battle.
- Reset the Operations: “Sandstorm” leaderboard. Also you will be able to get additional rewards as Silver orders. The Event has been prolonged and will be available until October 22 (13:00 UTC).
- Fixed missing button to upgrade a soldier when having insufficient bronze orders.
- PC: Fixed bug when sometimes animation and sound were missing when shooting a cannon.
- The ability to rotate structures, before setting them up, has been added and may be accomplished by pressing “R” on PC, “X” on Xbox and “square” on Playstation (default keys).
- When building a “Rally point” an arrow will now display which indicates the direction that allies are facing after they spawn.
- New fast commands in the “Ask…” menu have been added: "Need ammunition box" and "Need rally point".
- Other players who have requested an ammo box or a “Rally point” will now be marked (for you) with the proper icons if there is an active Engineer in your Squad.
