I don’t know if this is planned, because I haven’t read about it anywhere that I can remember, but this really needs to be addressed.
There needs to be a toggle/option that allows the player to choose whether they want to wait for a fresh battle or join one in progress (i.e., someone deserted and now you’re thrown into the battle to replace them). Gaijin’s big boy game War Thunder already has this, and the default option in that regard is set to OFF (Off means do NOT allow me to join a game in progress). This should be strictly an OPT-IN feature.
This is twice now in the past week where I’ve been thrown into a battle already 1-1,5 minutes in progress, which can be an eternity when the sweats are out in force (you know who you are).
I know there’s a metric ton of UI/UX work that needs to happen on Enlisted, but I think this belongs near the top of the queue, especially if you won’t allow us to delay activating boosters.
