would be nice if i could switch one soldier, with another from reserves, and the loadout gets transfered
That doesn’t sound stupid! Would love that.
We’ve been advocating for some kind of quick-switch method for a while now actually. I am always spending so much time applying new stuff to my soldiers
Yes!
Also, a button to clear unassigned soldier’s loadouts. Very annoying to hunt for gear in my list of unassigned soldiers.
I like this idea too, but one problem I could see is that soldiers have different inventory spaces unlocked (some can’t hold sidearms, secondary, etc) - so could end up being a useful feature only some times.
Simply a remove button would already be a blessing, equipping is less of a hassle than dequipping.
I’ve read the suggestion a bit wrong. Can i suggest something similar? I would like to have an option that would automatically move all items from soldiers to the stash when i move them from my squad to reserves. That would decrease the amount of required clicks when managing soldiers by half!
As for the ‘main weapon cant be moved’: why do we need this requirment of main weapon at all? Its just useless, at the end all those soldiers will be trained via academy and all those guns will be moved to the players inventory. I really dont understand whats the point of allowing tankers joining the battle without weapons and soldiers being not able even in a lobby. You could allow at least to stash soldiers empty and check their primary weapon only wenn they join battle queue.
And considering main suggestion of this thread - we mostly swap soldiers of the same type. This means they would have exactly same slots and the suggestion particulary could be an option for swapping same type of soldiers, simply drag new unit from reserves over the being used - he should be replaced and assigned all the items from replaced soldier. Simple if rules like (if type same / if from reserves) could make this system much more reliable.
Honestly this is such a great idea.
