why not just a new place for it like the Binoculars??
I know you want rid of the gren carrying capacity, but not everyone, runs a gren pouch, i use a back pack, and run tools/health on all that can.
Even my assaulters carry tools!!

It should just take up same slot as Bino’s, or have seperate slot. Its not like soldiers were incapable of carrying around multiple items.

The problem here is that then defenders have to take offensive equipment just to have a way to counter the other offensive equipment. That is why I suggested the backpack slot.
The backpack slot essentially acts as a modifier. Increasing carrying capacity, that is true. However, gas masks act as a modifier as well to. Theirs is efficiency through hazard. If you could have a gas mask as well as 3 WP grenades, there would be an absolute lack of balance, similar to what we see already, if not worse.
The only way to challenge someone in WP would be to also have a gas mask. So if there are tons of WP being used, it acts as a giant shield to stop players coming at you.
Having that extra ammo or healing on top of being able to walk through gas is extremely OP.
So I stand by what I suggested. Backpack slot for balance purposes.
I disagree. You can still use them, it just makes the tradeoff make people stop and think if using WP is worth it.
So how do i add a tool kit to toons if you take away slot? and health
Progression seems like a good idea.
Not so sure about the matchmaking…I think the matchmaking is fine as is but the progression system is a much needed update for sure.
Wow. Sorry for the absence. I went to visit my mom and dad. 
And so, we collected a huge number of your questions and use them in QA in the third devblog. We will try to tell you more. But there is something more important.
We did not just tell you about these plans many months in advance. We are collecting your feedback and will discuss with the developers the details that caused the negative reaction. While I can not say anything in more detail, but we will definitely discuss the issues with the developers and plans may change.

Nobody hardly uses binos to start with. You are suggesting adding in a VERY powerful piece of equipment, without the cost of something of equal value. THAT is how you get game breaking equipment! It needs to take up the slot of something of equal strategic value, SUCH AS backpacks. Otherwise, everyone takes grenade pouches and spams WP even worse than before, because now they can walk through it. Meaning if you don’t have a gas mask on, you automatically lose!

Great, that’s the best part about the whole Roadmap thing - it’s much better to discuss this with community now than implementing such changes first and seeing the backlash later.
Looking forward to the next devblog and hopefully it will clarify most cases that we brought up.

What negative reaction? I didn’t read every comment, so I guess I missed something…
Does this mean you already have the questions for your QA picked out? I took quite a while compiling and writing up the questions I did in the hope they would be answered. Was that really for nothing?
Am I correct if I understand this to mean that a change to the mechanics of the composition of squads and their members is also planned ?
Using this post as an example, does this mean that following the update where this new progression and matchmaking is implemented it will be possible to include a Mortarman in a squad where this type of member was previously not available ?
Example:
Historical inaccuracy
Depreciation of previous effort on different campaign
Lost value of premium squads which was only valuable in certain environment

We will collect questions for another week.

Not bad. This will probably be an instructive example for everyone.
“How to try to solve every problem at once and create 6 more problems”. Perfect.
People didn’t ask for much. But do something with the grind. This alone would have helped with the problem of the player base, because every single person who tried this game and then left it, 99% of them said it was because the grind was too much. Then you could have thought about what to do with the campaign system.
But not. The wise leader came up with the wise idea, and this is what it became.
It wasn’t a surprise to those who guessed why developers aren’t interested when they hear voices saying, for example, that there is “no need for mkbh in Moscow”. It didn’t matter, because everything will show up everywhere.
I guess the next wise idea will be that if everything is already everywhere, and the developers are clearly not interested in historical accuracy, then we should go to the Cold War era. If you can fit in The Maisky Forestry an IS-2/KT stg/fedorov festival. Then I think there will be plenty of T-72/M1Abrams.

Wilco, thanku for the quick response !
“Another week” as in the near future, or “another week” as in 2 months from now? I’m just trying to get an estimate of when to check back for it, and have the info for my buddies.
My main question is… Will we see matches with Kong Tiger, and IS2 in Moscow, filled with PPS43’s, RPD, STG44’s and P. shreks? Or will there be some kind of limitation to this shit?
Also I would consider myself an above average player. Will I be matched with matches full of “decent” players, or will it have some sort of mix? I ask this, because in theory, if a shitty player never has to play a “decent” player he doesn’t know he is shitty, and will remain shitty…
Also will there ever be any option to limit what campaigns you play in? If I play as US I hate the Jap campaign, and don’t want to play it… So does that mean I will have to for goe playing a whole faction for the time being??

Still looking forward to see these modern tanks appear in Mideast or modern city map. But if unfortunately the developers have completely abandon the concept of historical accuracy, there is no excuse not to add cold war or modern equipment in close future.
