First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov called the E-Bal system «the magic of modern digital gamification.»
«All partners are shocked by how E-Points work. The military gets points, and for them drones that they themselves chose. We get high-quality data that allows us to make decisions. The magic of modern digital gamification. And, as a result, more real orcs are destroyed,» he wrote on his account in Threads.
At the same time, not all users of the platform, including the military themselves, consider the system ideal; some contributors have very specific comments about it.
A user with the nickname yevhenvolen, signed as a military man, noted that the principle of operation of this system reminds him of amateur football in the yard.
«When the ball hits a player, he starts running towards the opponent’s goal himself, not thinking about passes or other players. When reconnaissance (which does not receive E-Balls, although it is difficult without it) finds a target, everything and everyone flies there. There were even cases when friendly planes collided with each other and detonated,» he wrote.
The military does not deny that the system is fundamentally good, but at the same time, in his opinion, it needs further development.
«After the implementation of this system, units began to compete for quantity instead of quality, less often exchanging information in order to effectively carry out the work of eliminating the enemy. I often hear this from servicemen,» shared user Oleg Ruban.
Threads user Kyrylo Onyshchuk wrote approximately the same thing.
«This system currently creates unfair competition between units that are in fact affiliated, and therefore should act together. Haven’t you heard of turning off the backlight to take the target? And it exists!», he wrote.
User Abid, who, judging by the topics of his posts, is also likely a military man, criticizes the E-Points system for other reasons.
«The problem is that commanders are beating commanders for this rating. Commanders are starting to think about how to score points, not how to work effectively in interaction with subordinates,» he left a comment under Mykhailo Fedorov’s post.
As previously reported by dev.ua, the government is improving the military incentive program «Army of Drones. Bonus». From now on, units will be able to order codified UAVs, ground robotic complexes, electronic warfare equipment, as well as uncodified FPV drones of Ukrainian production directly through the Brave1 Market with authorization in the DELTA system with earned «e-points».
