I think instead of each campaign having their own progression, there should just be faction progression.
Each faction has its own “campaign” or tech tree that allows you to progress that and that alone. It would get rid of repeat unlocks across multiple campaigns and let me focus on one faction in multiple campaigns rather than just grind out multiple campaigns all at the same time.
then we would have same problem as in war thunder, if modern war campaigns were to be added, it’d take forever to get to there and there would be no way to implement ww1
If Modern war campaigns were added, simply add a second campaign per faction for modern era. Same for WW1
thats actually a good idea
and since some equipment used early in ww2 were used later on as well, it wouldnt be that hard to populate late war campaigns
however, some game mechanic should be implemented to keep players with older equipment competitive, such as having additional soldiers in their squads, lower spawn cost, separate vehicle slots, 2 players counting as one for matchmaker, …
unless you meant that someone would have to grind through ww2, to reach cold war…
No, that issue has already plagued War Thunder.
Cold War and WW2 would have different campaigns.
Imo, the campaigns should be eras, not different battles and stuff like that.
There would be a WW2 campaign, WW1 campaign, Cold War campaign, ect.
Each campaign would have factions for you to choose to progress.
factions could look like this
WW1
French
German
British
American
Russian
Austrian/Hungarian
Italian
WW2
German
British
American
Soviet
Italian
Japanese
French
Each faction has different maps or theaters of war they can play on.
French mostly will fight in North Africa and Western Europe
Japanese in the Pacific, or mainland China
Soviets can fight in Eastern Europe or on the border with Japan maybe (if they make maps for that)
You could choose where you want to fight, but you get a major XP boost if you do quickplay, any faction, any map.
