some countries weapons could go to multiple countries, like the French could go allies or axis, just a thought that would not force a poster to choose which group they would like to get their weapons.
to be clear i do not mean by name like France and Polland but a group like other European nations, or non allied nations
Imo most of national French weapon need go to axis because German captured the north France and in the south France, Vichy France was a puppet state of Germany, Allie’s should get all France colonial equipment instead and colonial France squad
and we could get a separate cold war mode if the player base magically grows, that was just an example it is not always clear which of the four playable factions should get weapons from a non-allied or conquered nation.
New tech tree should definitely not be added any time soon, there’s so many stuff which can be added to all existing tech trees. Plus I want japs vs sovs, that should be priority.
There’s no reason to introduce new seperate tech tree that would only screw up MM queues.
Taking as good no other faction is added playable (no premium and event squad to) so I’s just an example for the current situation based on what happened in history
Allie’s should get
Colonial France and UK commonwealth colony equipment, plus minor European equipment such as Netherlands and Belgium if possible
Soviet should get
Polish equipment
Axis should get
All the equipment of their minor (Hungary, romania) who still is not present in the game, and France equipment
Japanese should get
Equipment captured in china and Philippines, east Indies
well french tech tree could be added as “neutral” faction that could end up in team with western allies or with germany. only problem i see with it that i dont see how you could fill it with BR5 weapons/vehicles without some heavy paper.
There are already 2 French squads in game on Axis side.
The radio squad I and the Flamethrower squad II both from Berlin, If I remember right, only the radio squad is legacy.
They represent the 33.SS Charlemange, a french division of the Waffen-SS.
These squads should get french voice.
It would be cool if both Allies and Axis had access to French weapons like Mas-36/38/40, as premium/event/TT.
The issue is that voice acting is linked to individual soldiers, not squads.
Besides that, it would look strange if you were to see in the hangar that the soldiers have German names.
Those squads would have to be reworked into event squads with locked French soldiers.
It would be possible if nationality was based on squad rather than individual soldiers.
Soldiers would get french voice lines, faces and names when inside squad.
Adding more and more nationalities will make soldier selection more confusing so it would need a rework anyway.
I don’t like the idea. I like having exactly the same soldier that can be moved between multiple squads. It creates a sort of personality for them (I know, I’m being pretty weird rn).
I’d prefer if you could recruit several nationalities for each faction. And then individual squads would limit what troops (by their nationalities) you can put into them (based on historical facts related to these specific squads).
In all honesty, every faction had captured weapons from the enemies they were fighting. I am quite sure the US, Soviets and the Brits had MP 40’s and other captured German weapons, just as the Germans had captured Allied weapons, so, I guess you have to ask where does it stop?
I am always transferring troops from one squad to another. ALWAYS!!! As far as people who want a Canadian, British, French, Italian, Australian or whatever nationality soldier they should just add the appropriate national uniforms that people can choose when they get the tickets to upgrade squad appearance.
