Most of my my squads have a 40/60 split on nationality, so I would use the orders to make them all uniform (all Italians in an Italian squad, all Germans in a German squad, all British in a British squad, and all Americans in an American squad). It just adds authenticity, and cures my OCD for Germans using Carcanos and Americans using Lee Enfields.
Anyone else feel the same way?
You can already. Seems like you are very late to the party.
Btw. I actually appreciate to have possibility to finally get Italian AT gunner for my Italian premium squads.
Up until the next major update, I was forced to use German ones in most of them 
Well, on the other point, this capability is very historical. It’s not historical to use American soldiers in British squads.
I rather not have the bri’ish people dressed as a american marine and american dressed as a brit
This feature is much welcome. I will be eventually able to recruit Italian soldiers for my Italian squads, and create a full Italian lineup, which is impossible up to now.
there were italians in normandy but that’s another story XD
Prisoners captured by the English in the Sword Beach sector on the morning of 6 June 1944. Several of them are Italian
A long line of German prisoners captured after the surrender of Cherbourg in the summer of 1944, is escorted by American soldiers. Among them an Italian
Normandy June 6, 1944, captured Italians and Germans were then transferred to the USS Texas which was stationed offshore.
A group of German prisoners captured in Normandy, disembark from a train at Kempon Park station in England.Among them an Italian with a coat, cap and stars on his lapel.
That is the beauty of this system!
If you don’t care about historical accuracy (Me), do it to make funny line ups.
If you give a shit about historical accuracy, you do not have to do it or do it to retain consistency with in line ups.
That’s the last thing this game needs. Stop pushing cheap copy paste into the game.
Yeah only you’ll be making a squad that is based on an American unit British or a German squad Italian and vice versa.
My point is that if you actually want to play as Italians they should be in an Italian squad where they belong
That is true that we only have a few piecemeal British and Italian squads. For example my British Engineer squad is filled with Americans because you can’t have a British Engineer.
Yes “C-N” will fix issues in this case but it will still lead to even more disasters
The game may not be 101% historically accurate but it should at least have a few smidgens of integrity
Having actual British and Italian squads with British and Italian soldiers is better than having America’s First Infantry Division that fought in Africa, Italy, and Europe actually be a bunch of Brits
The best solution is just to have all squads and classes for Britain and Italy. There is no British Riflemen squad in the RT, therefore if you wanted one you’d have to turn an American division, with its historic identity, into Brits
United States 1st Infantry Division marching for President FDR before being shipped for war, Enlisted
Yes you right with the squad, the German soldiers in German squad and Italian in Italian squad i see that in a same way but that little think isn’t a problem when it is mxed a bit
like if historical accuracy was something in enlisted to begin with.
and that’s the cool thing.
if you want, you can attempt to recreate some historical units.
if not, you don’t have to.
saying that change nationality is a terrible idea is insane.
but as others suggested already, ( and like you partially did )
adding more squads for example, pre merge legacy should be the way to go With.
yes to squads, no to classes.
nobody needs the shop being cluttered by italians and german soldiers ( or uk and us ) when you can just buy the soldier you need and then change it’s nationality through the upcoming system.
It’s not like the unit that the squad belongs is super important in game. It is just an image and name on the menu, in battle nobody is gonna know whether you use British soldier in US squad or not.
This is already the case… just take this example :
The allies and axis MG gunner I squad are British and Italian. MG squad can only take at most 6 specialists. Which means that you will always be stuck with at least 1 rifleman. And guess what ? There is no way to get British or Italian riflemen as of now…
I can get behind this for sure, but lets be honest, this is not happening anytime soon. So I will gladly take the devs proposal instead if keeping the current situation.
The game doesn’t need to be 101% HA in all areas. I don’t mind prototypes and experiments or BR forces me to see King Tigers in Stalingrad
But just having British squads with British soldiers and Italian squads with Italian soldiers is the bare minimum
I don’t envision there being double the soldiers. Soldiers would be “blank” and they become the nationality of the squad they’re put in.
All squads/ classes is more attainable right now than the ultimate goal of Britain and Italy being fully separated from their parent line if not becoming their own independent faction
British rifle in the RT? Add a British squad attached to it. Very simple
the only bare minimum id say would be to avoid japanese soldiers storming d-day or germans defending guaralcanal against other germans.
i think that’s the bare minimum most people would come to expect, outside customs.
it’s fine there.
i guess it doesn’t favor me to say that i for once, would like the idea of ragtags units of mixed nationality…
perhaps some mixed DAK and italian units in NA.
or, kinda like the ostruppens / Hiwis.
which did existed and language was an actual issue to those units.
that’s also the other issue.
there’s 0 reasons to separate italy and britain.
they would struggle severly towards the latter tiers.
hence, they can simply coexist as sub factions within the main one.
US and germany.
because as much you like ONLY italian/german or US / Commonwealth units,
it can be simply fixed by allowing squads to be brought “back” and add the missing ones.
this would severely temper with those like me who likes to have mixed squads.
italian AND germans. US AND Commonwealth units.
which i would have no way of being able to do because of some selfish individual who apparenty doesn’t comprehend how balance works.
if people now deserts for a stupid map, i can’t imagine that said person having some nerves and stay when half of his team it’s made out of italians.
( fyi, i don’t care about other people. they could larp as volkssturm / reggio esercito for all i care EVEN at br V but I, am not the majority of the people nor entirely play this game on my own. )
That is certainly interesting and historical, but as you understand there’s a reason why all countries tended to operate independently. Organization, logistics, and the simplest of just being able to understand the guys standing next to you 
I understand but I like to believe that Britain and Italy could survive on their own. Especially with vehicles, at least in Britain’s case, they have more than enough to challenge the Germans.
However I agree that for the foreseeable future Britain and Italy should stay subfactions. It would be a can of worms right now. But the next step should be at least separating Britain and Italy into their own lines
not necessarily.
but yes.
optimal conditions.
as far as the game goes, choice and options should always comes first.
even if it doesn’t fully align with historical scale.
couldn’t disagree more.
they are fine being under germany or US.
so that if they are caught lacking, they can use other align nation equipment.
don’t like it? then don’t use.
i don’t see why others should pay the consequences asked by some other who do not likes their cup being either white or black.
i certainly do not want to lose my mixed squads and effectively end up never playing italy because of the disavtanges.
beside, you still see plenty of americans using lee enfields.
the main point of uniting the nations it’s because it complements each other.
otherwise it would be just like… japan.
not in the best spot if you ask basically anyone.
sure, the players are elite.
and every once in a while they get nice things.
but it has been quite an unnecessary slog. that both italy and uk does NOT need now, or ever.
the other issue is, i would like to see how refounds would go for plenty of weapons that would all of a sudden disappear.
players spent time grinding equipment and then gets moved eslewhere IS NEVER apreciated.
I think you misunderstand. I’m saying to separate Britain and Italy’s content into their own line under the Allies RT, not make them independent factions.
I don’t have any issue with mixed units (In terms of using American and British squads in your lineup) I do it all the time
