I guess, gas masks should be a piece of equipment, that doesn’t use up new slots. For example the German soldiers all already have their gas canister on them, even with back pack on, so there is no realistic way, why they couldn’t have both. A gas mask is sucha basic piece of equipment, like a bayonet, which also doesn’t use any equipment slot.
Japanese Army to get TIGER tanks? That would be interesting, but would infuriate many players who prefer to play in the Japanese Army…
Okay and where will let’s say MP 3008 fit in?
Worse than MP-40, and MP-40 is Moscow tier weapon, so MP 3008 appears in Moscow all the time?
This is nonsense.
And how are you going to limit the weapons used in certain theatres only?
Owen SMG is for the “American” faction but it was never used in Europe.
STG was never used in North Africa and Crusader tanks never appeared in the Pacific.
In fact, how will the Australian/British gear be separated from American and how will Italian stuff be separated from German?
This already has Fantasy BS written all over it.
@1942786 since the same nation will be unified under one army I am a bit worried what to do with all my soldiers I’ve collected and developed to rank 5 (star 5) level.
For players like myself that have literally everything unlocked (see this Darkflow will I get a cookie for this? (spoiler: no more squads to grind)) and have spent a lot of time as well some real money to get specific perks for soldiers it would be a waste of my time and money when this new system comes and I would have abundance of fully developed soldiers with no “recompensation” for that.
Let’s take into consideration just the most common nation in the game which is Germany, since I have equal numbers of rank 5 soldiers per side on all campaigns, just for Germany side if they get combined into one I would have 316 soldiers for this army (Moscow / Normandy / Berlin / Stalingrad, excluding Tunisia as it is combined army of Germany and Italy). I really don’t need so many soldiers, especially 8 mortarmans, 20 attacker pilots, 16 fighter pilots and so on, again I’ve spent a lot of my time and in some cases real money just to get specific perks for these soldiers per campaign.
When the new progression system comes live it really would be unfair if all I get for these extra unneeded soldiers (because of changes) is some basic value as if I was dismissing some fresh soldiers, I want some serious compensation for that. Not even gonna talk about weapons that I would have too many of the same with this new progression system.
Yrp, it’s already ridiculous. And now we aeem to be adding insult to injury.
I don’t want to click battle expecting I’ll end up in Moscow because I like the maps there and end up in Berlin with maps that I hate with a passion. I have the right to choose which campaign I want to play and not be forced to play with a certain loadout.
The queue would actually be more scuffed and slow because we would all be in the same pool and would have to wait to be distributed in the right map in the right server in the right campaign. That could also introduce mistakes like being sent to a different battle than our squadmates so this is also a no.
Also about the loadouts, they are all gonna be the same for each Nation. They did not specify anything about limitation between campaigns so the BR is going to be the same for all matchmaking no matter what campaign you end up in. Expect Tiger II Porsche on Moscow and Stalingrad against T-60s.
If the matchmaking will be based on the time, when the gear was available, stuff like the MP 3008 would show up in games that are 1944-45, which would ultimately put them together with Tiger IIs and Stg 44s. And Keo said, that the gear of smaller factions would be integrated to the main faction for now, but the wording had a big ‘‘for the time being’’ about it, so smaller factions and their trees will probably appear in the future.
Today i don’t want to play Tunisia, Stalingrad, Pacfic if you force me to play only them i will quit the game for that day and if it would happen all the time then i would quit the game. So it’s a really dumb idea.
I agree wholeheartedly Dregomz. Please keep the historical accuracy this game has going for it.
I don’t think anything has been said about year of production.
If it’s an early unlock, it seems to be paired with other early unlocks. So MP 3008 in Moscow? Lmao
Also smaller nations unlocks - Semovente to Stalingrad vs BT-7 and Crusader to the Pacific vs Chi Ha? Lol what a clownfest
Sounds more logical, less frustrating and easier tbh than 10 slots and one tt for an ENTIRE faction.
You can fix that by having one global unlock for the MkB AND removing it from maps/periods where it makes zero sense
If you have one global level for everything, there is no reason you couldnt make fully historical battles. Each map gets a list of period accurate squads, weapons and vehicles and if you get a map you havent played yet, you get to make a preset for it that gets saved. You’d just have to make it so that if you have a max level squad with max level troops with best weapons equipped, when you get a low tier mission, you can pick from all prerequisite tiers of the weapon you own, for free
So, for example, if you own a fully upgraded G43 but get a very early Tunisia mission, you can pick a maxed out Armaguerra 39 for that fight
You conveniently picked the 3 least popular campaigns.
With your daily campaigns it’s inevitable that it would happen since it’s working as randomizer between 1-6. And it was just an example i could pick any other campaigns i don’t like playing either when i feel that way or like ever, i could be like i only like 1 from the list and after few games i would get bored and want to play other campaign i like but i can’t because i’m stuck with 3. It wouldn’t work with a game like Enlisted, well it wouldn’t work with any game if you ask me unless it’s a rotation of mods like in Killing Floor 2 aka completely optional.
For anyone saying historical accuracy is out the window because MKB, PZ IV F2 and T-50 in Moscow and Jumbo in Normandy and Chaffee etc. and saying trying to fight for historical accuracy is futile?
NO, this is actually their chance to right their wrongs and remove these things from appearing in said campaigns.
Just because we have PZ IV F2 in Moscow doesn’t mean we agree with it, let alone like or agree with letting Tiger II in Moscow.
The concept simply makes sense. I dont get it why we dont just have campaign-specific tts and give bonus for already unlocked stuff. This feels more logical than doing it like WT.
Who said something about a randomizer, the campaign sets would be carefully selected by the devs. At least that is how I imagine it. Everything else would be stupid. (Sorry if my probability calcs were misleading)
And yes you are right, my system would cause minor inconveniences as I stated right at the beginning. But I think you need to know my perspective.
As far as I see, there are two parties. The ones who like the new model proposed by the devs. And those who like the game as it is, but at the same time see that the fragmented playerbase slowly chokes it the death.
I count myself to the second group, so in my perspective my idea is one of the few possible ways to keep the game as it is, while solving the problem with the playerbase.
If you like the new system of the devs, I respect that. But than of course from your perspective my idea wont make much sense, because for you the problem is already solved.
So please judge my idea from the right point of view.
If anything, we should have LESS weapons and vehicles available per each campaign than what we have now.
Moscow should not have T-34, long barrel Pz IV, mkb, eARlY mg42 and other fictional stuff.
Now with the tech tree it’s the perfect chance to finally cut the campaign by 2/3ds.
Also let us select from the available vehicles during the game - sometimes a tank destroyer could be useful but no one ever has them preselected over actual tanks.
That will kill game for me. It also means that many unique for that region and time of fighting weapons will be just simply abandoned cause why I should use Kar98 when I have better Carcano available in fields of Russia? Or why I should use similar but slightly worse US machine pistol when I have Sten from Brits while fighting in Pacific?
Historical accuracy is what brought me here and what I liked in different campaigns, even if I didn’t liked some campaigns as much as others.
you will be able to do so, with more options on custom.
just wait for the final product
its better overall for the future of the game.
