Prevent people from taking more than 1 of the same class squad.
So you cant have more then 1 assaulter, trooper, etc.
This will prevent annoying same squad spam from occurring and cause people to actually mix up their playstyles. Not just 3 assaulter or trooper squads.
This needs to stop:
It doesn’t benefit balance or gameplay and makes certain weapons very spammable.
Just dont allow more than 1 of each type
As someone who has bought squad slots, Absolutely no!
“No i want to spam the same assaulter squad and make gameplay hell”
Lol, then there is no reason to have squad like assaulter 2 squad and assaulter 3 squad.
can’t see anything wrong with that loads up a 9 man inf squads with automatic rifles, an assault squad with all automatics and MG team with you guessed it all automatics
Eh sometimes I like to run 3 of the same class squads, not often, but sometimes.
Also some events have requirements like get insert number of kills with insert soldier class and while I enjoy the rewards that come with events I don’t actually enjoy the events themselves and much prefer to get those tasks done as fast as possible.
I actually love it when people do this.
Case and point, Kroll Assault, thr first point is a wash because its CqC so we can hold them only for a bit usually when running Assault squads. However once they are in the open for the next two Capture Points, they are easy picking for the Mid Range Advantage of the Axis weapons, and I have yet to lose a match or be pushed passed those two points when we get spammed there.
You over specialize and it will cost you dearly.
That is why I bought the max squad slots for each campaign. I run a very diverse loadout of troops that give me flexibility at all ranges.
Assaulters? Shit its all about having 2 engineer squads now for 20mm AA spam the entire game
I have agree after all this change at smg and assault rifle, assaulter are only better than machinegunner
No, I bring 2 or 3 rifle squads alongside a variety of others
I get where you’re coming from but that would prevent my riflemen spam
2 campaign engineers, 1 premium engineer squad. AA spam for days
You copied my Moscow loadout, Having fun?
I only put up these squads in that order to demonstrate.
So no i am not a tryhard
Maybe a cooldown similar to tanks? So the other squad of the same class will be locked untill you take a different squad.
(Or we could introduce a time “cost” to spawn (the original idea was about vehicles). You want to circle 3 assaulter squads? Wait 1min to spawn!)
But the Soviets literally did equip entire squads full of PPSh-41s
And then made a whole army of those squads?
No absolutely not. I understand your suggestion and what it is based on but I simply don’t like any restrictions. My setup is quite wide ranged but restrictions are never the solution.
You can basically turn any squad into an assault squad in this game.
Flame Trooper Squad? 2 smgs + 5 SF.
Mortar Squad? 2 smgs + 4 SF.
Medic Squad? 5 smgs.
Rifle squad? 9 SF.
Etc.
Auto spam is achievable with every single squad.
Such as using Fedorovs on assaulters and AVT40s on the others. Or M2 Carbines mixed with BARs or thompsons. This idea solves nothing anymore
The problem ain’t the squads, but personal taste on what the game should be played on your rooms. And or, f2p players that won’t buy slots because they can’t or choose not to and they can’t get them for free. I still don’t understand what’s the problem on auto weapons to begin with when a rifle can 1hit kill all day long now…
Hopefully one day we can have a rifle only setting and or ban certain squads on custom matches then you will be happy.
The suggestion isn’t wrong, but the point of the game is to grind to have more, more and more. Options, slots, squads.
There would be not a single reason to own squad slots if I couldn’t bring 2 eng squads, 3 assaulters etc etc. Imo, no. But I get where this suggestion comes from.
Either way, it’s possible even after that to spam the same amount of auto weapons. Even if they were equiped on tankers and have them deployed as an apc/fighters in a plane. Etc
That would change to as f2p:
1 eng squad with 6 ffs, avt, avs etc
1 assaulter squad as current
1 MG squad
1 tanker full with smgs.
What would change besides rage and discontent from playerbase!!?
As a player that can spare some change every month or so on my hobbies and games, I own 10 slots on every campaign, even tho i have all types of weapons, I would still spam as much, if not the same amount of shit per game as now. The diference is that I own everything the game has to offer. A new player, casual or early campaign would suffer even more than now. Imo ofc.
But what do I know…
If the argument is historical accuracy, give me full squad with stgs on Berlin on my troopers. Then we can talk. Or, have 1 soldier with a pack of ammo and another with a rifle in Stalingrad. Just because…
