Its already a premium squad
Thank you for your post.
I like all the suggestions here. It is also good you included the premium/event/gold order weapons since people usually whinge about those.
Glad to see the Enfield P14 sniper since we would need a lower rank sniper and its also what Australians used.
I’m sorry there’s all these haters. As an Australian and general Enlisted fan I really want a separate UK-Commonwealth tech tree. It will allow us to add more Commonwealth and British tech, since the current tree is quite American dominated.
It also allows for much needed British-Commonwealth only maps like Tobruk, New Guinea, Burma, Greece/Crete/Balkans, Norway, along with joint operations like Market Garden, Battle for Italy etc.
Unfortunately haters cant seem to get through their heads that broadening the playable factions (and maps) encourages new players and revitalises the game.
As an Australian I want to play in New Guinea as an ANZAC for example, but also I’m definitely not the only player who is very tired of the same old same old Pacific maps (likewise Tunisia) that just copy paste each other.
I genuinely forgot there was a ‘new’ Pacific map given how similar it was to existing ones.
While I’m okay with Free French weapons, my thinking was more things like the Greek Army (along with Greece/Crete/Balkans maps), Free Polish and Free Czech since all those specifically fought with the British-Commonwealth. That also leaves it open for a French faction (which we have debated for and against elsewhere)
Bedford OY is a good suggestion for APC. Though I have been suggesting the Australian Universal Carrier (which is different to the UC that was an event).
Side note: In order to show the benefits of a separate UK-Commonwealth tree, I would suggest specifically adding a Canadian squad for Ross rifle, Australian for Owen gun, South African for Rieder auto rifle etc.
At the same time from the start players have the ability to choose which nation their soldiers are to be and there would be a default uniform for each. There would also be the ability to further customise these as currently in place.
Australians get slouch hats or digger hats, New Zealanders get lemon squeezers, Indians can have turbans and Id also suggest Scottish uniforms like kilts and Tam O Shanter hat.
Oh and other suggestion for premium squads would be Maori and native Fijian. Maybe pro-British Arabs too later on.
There are different churchill models. The one in the premium squad is churchill 3 so adding other models is ok.
Churchill 7 for br 4
Churchill 1 for br 2
Churchill avre for br 3 premium
Churchill crocodile for br 4 premium
Nice of you to not even bother to mention my main argument.
A separate British TT would mean losing the ability to form mixed line-ups.
This is my response ^^^
That’s not what I meant. Currently, I can put my British squads in the same lineup with my US squads.
I would be robbed of such option with seperate tech trees.
Seperated tech trees are anti player agenda. With naive hopes that F2P players will get more of free British stuff.
Sub faction as the one theorised in the past by @coldestwinter would achieve the same, additional thing to click on the UI isn’t necessary if you want just the commonwealth in the game adding another tech tree line for commonwealth, france alike in the allies tree is easier to implement and less UI clogging and more straight forward for the matchmaking
they do.
just like UK,
IF you go for the proto route like japan did.
That’s only when you play GE when you play US/UK all is fine with Japan also even the soviets have teamplay if you know a bit of Russian sadly with GE the situation is full of solo score players…
Well we will actually get more British stuff you know… and you can have different options Australian and Canadian squads can be put with US and UK can be put with the French so you have even more options for mixed squads simply different same thing can be done with Germany introducing Finnish, Hungarian and other squads to the faction but in the end of the day we dont need to split them completely we can just make separated trees where you will pick will you go the British way or US way and with GE the German way or the Italian way this way we are all happy
Yeah, but no, i have been trying but i get paired with half bot team all the time, there are a few stationary bots that are all the time connected to give a false sense of “people playing”, but despite BR and factions, playerbase is going non existant, and now i do understand why they keep holding the release of the game. Dead on arrival.
Well with us is full of people there is que even with GE I join instantly with US i have to wait for a game simply there is some factions that are more populated at the moment.
Yers, i have found that high BR russian has people all the time.
Well its Gaijin game comrade what do you expect I don’t say there is Soviet Bias but you know someone lost the war and people love playing with the winners not the losers …
How?
I don’t think so, it wouldn’t be boring to use purely US/UK weapons.
It’s just more akin to past campaigns and less of a hodgepodge of weapons from the Allies.
Why would DF remove Britain from allies faction if it will still use a bunch of US equipment, that is just counter productive.
Maybe it’s because those US equipment is also heavily used by the UK army. If so, it’s not just US equipment.
than maybe dont seperate them?
But some weapons are only used by one factions, want to gain advantages in all aspects at once is greedy.
Another angle is immersion. If you play US/UK, then maybe you should armed your squad like they did 80 years ago.
half of low br smgs and mgs are of UK origin.
if you’d get rid of those, what are you left with.
neither using mixed weapons.
yet, one allows to use both and give you a choice in the matter, the other does not.
you’d be reducing the grind.
which would just make low br boring and a phase that will almost bring you in high tier almost instantly.
given the new economy changes.
again, that’s the “thing”
if you separate the UK from US, you won’t be able to mix them together like others would like.
however, currently you are able to only go US or UK.
despite having mixed squads.
granted, i do believe it would be cool if players could buy more squads.
but you will be able to change the soldiers nationality so…
0 reasons to separate them, as you can do mostly what you want / need with the mixed factions.
