A collection of some small suggestions

These are some suggestions I have for this game: M1919A6 as the “top” LMG for the U.S. to counter the MG-42 a better way to look around in a tank. currently, if you want to switch the vision slit you look trough in a tank, you need to scroll the mouse wheel. I think it would be better if you could press a key (for example C) which would pull the camera back a bit, and then by moving your mouse you could look around. Historical tank sights. IIRC this has been suggested many times but I’…

• Tank driver should be able to poke his head out of a hatch/ open the hatch
• Replace the entering/exiting a vehicle timer with a small animation lasting similar amount of time
• Re-balancing of Normandy, especially D-Day map. If the defenders get killed, the American forces can cap the point before the defenders can run back from the spawn to the point
• reduce aircraft sensitivity. This is especially bad in fighters, where the controls are very sensitive, causing the planes to swing a lot.
• Maps with more snow to Moscow, and proper Winter and Fall variations on the existing maps. (I will try to make some map suggestions later)
• Crouch running. Slower than normal running, but makes the character a smaller target.
• Friend group “squads” should be called Platoons, and if there ever will be Clans they should be named Divisions
• Show the amount of xp you get from your actions (as they happen) to encourage people to play caps. If they see that they get more xp from defending/attacking a capture point, they will do it more.
• Friendly names. The one thing I would like to be brought back from the very first open test in Moscow is the names above the players’ character. It could still dissappear at ranges, but it would be very helpful to know who to thank, etc.

Stuff I’m not so sure about:

• Calling arty in with Binoculars. Replace calling artillery on a map with giving the radio man binoculars, with which they can designated coordinates for the arty strike. this could prevent camping in some faraway place calling arty on the points being capped.
  (The Post where I got this idea from:)
  Add Binoculars to Certain Roles
• Minefields. I’m not gonna tell that much about it here, Pilot made a great post about it:
  Laying a Minefield

What I would like to add to that list are short, preset “commands” like in War Thunder such as: “I need ammo”, “Mark the targets”, “Thank you” etc. Of course translated automaticly to users languages. That could help with communication because as we know voice chat seems to be not working and writing takes precious time. And then there is aspect of people not understanding English - maybe they would react more often if such commands were introduced.

I support pretty much all of this. Maybe the names of your player company (Squads with other players, to avoid confusion with your AI squad) could also be orange to stand out from other players.

Binocular artillery is too scammy I dont support that and there shoul be minefields in places where players should not go.

[ToveriFinski]

YES! I actally forgot this. There really should be something like that

[ToveriFinski]

Theres a reason why I put them under “I’m not so sure about this”

Re-balancing of Normandy, especially D-Day map. If the defenders get killed, the American forces can cap the point before the defenders can run back from the spawn to the point

I disagree, state right now is really balanced.

Calling arty in with Binoculars. Replace calling artillery on a map with giving the radio man binoculars, with which they can designated coordinates for the arty strike. this could prevent camping in some faraway place calling

I disagree if Radio Operator can only use binoculars to call an artillery attack, better would a hybrid of binocular and map because the radio still needs the coordinates from the map.

[Winter_Storm]

we need a voice command called “attack d”

[wolfy706]

Agree on everything expect the minefields and arty call.

[ToveriFinski]

Yes, I am not very much in favor of those either, but I thought that I’ll just add them anyways

Crouch running. Slower than normal running, but makes the character a smaller target.

Yes and even more yes. I expected this to be a default feature.

@72059750

Show the amount of xp you get from your actions (as they happen) to encourage people to play caps. If they see that they get more xp from defending/attacking a capture point, they will do it more.

This would be a great option. Make it toggable in the oprions tho for people who dislike it.

I disagree with this one. I’ve played to many games where you’d call this on your own head because it doesnt actually mark through the window. A more deadly arty with a longer cooldown would be good though, currently it feels very underwhelming but the spam is anoying.
