When I play this game I feel like playing certain campaign’s and I hate, HATE getting railroaded into playing certain campaign’s. I know the devs are going to justify it with something like “getting you to try the other campaign’s” and I’m going to be honest, I do not give a shit. I play every campaign in the game but I only play them when I feel like it, if I’m forced to play a campaign with weapons and equipment I don’t want to that day it just makes me more likely to quit playing the game. Seriously devs please just rid of this task and replace it with something I can do in every campaign, I’m sick of changing my battletask to get another in some other campaign I don’t want to play.

It encourages players to play other campaigns

ANDROID51313 point is a good one. Play what you want when you want. So if in Tunisia you grind and get certain weapons, why would you have to grind for the same weapons in a different campaign ie Normandy. The tech tree that you already achieved should be available, you made the grind or paid in previous campaign. OH WAIT A second, Gaigin makes more money if you grind or pay 2x, forget history or accuracy. Again, if you put in the time, or paid, you should have elevated access in a later campaign (time line) for same weapons. That wasn’t Android’s point, but he did say if he is forced to play another campaign and grind again when he doesn’t feel like it, he would rather stop player enlisted. Choices are a good thing, especially if they are logical, il-logical choices that do not make sense cause a lot of frustration.

you do know that you can change tasks, right?

Reroll tasks are only available a few times. And when they are selected at random, you often get an even worse option than before.
To answer OP, basically, I personally don’t see a big problem with tasks. Only, they could be associated more with the specific campaign you are playing at the moment.

I don’t see too big of an issue with this. You can always reroll this challenge with each new one you complete.
Or you can indeed just play that campaign casually, that’s how I complete my Normandy and Tunisia challenges.
In fact, would be cool if the whole community had this challenge at the same time, at least we would have full human lobbies.
If anything, that’s better than rolling 3 challenges you have no way of completing, e.g. “get mortar kills, get flamethrower kills, get artillery kills” when you’re new and don’t have any of it unlocked.
Atleast the lone fighters task was already gone while the most annoying tasks now goes to mortar, flamethrower and destroying enemy planes.
Capturing a point task, Berlin USSR is my way to go for that task due to most of the invasion maps are them being attackers, just hope you don’t get armored train, destruction or a defender map plus there’s the Reich Chancellery Conquest map…
All daily tasks are stupid and awful (except for the redundant “finish one battle of any kind”). They remove the ability to play the way you want to play, which ruins the entire game.
Sure, you’re technically free to do whatever you want once the tasks are finished. Except that by the time I’m done with them, I feel sick of the game because I had to do BS tasks as if I’m a bot. Buying the full version of the battlepass only makes it worse too, giving you the privilege to do 3 times more soulcrushing tasks.
Engaging with them only leaves me resentful and not wanting to return. And then the next day the only reason to log in again is because I’d be missing out on the daily tasks, which only deepens the resentment in an endless cycle. It can be tolerated and ignored with a lot of effort, but I don’t partake in entertainment to tolerate its core components through lots of effort.
This is hardly the only problem, but because of this one feature alone there’s no fun to be found in the entire game if you play it the intended way. There’s only emotional manipulation. and it’s 100% intentional. Of course, it’s a lot more difficult to make an enjoyable game than it is to generate fear of missing out. People come back to log in again, but the essence of the process is fundamentally different.
Honestly, just reroll that task.
It’s the only easy category task that can’t always be completed in 1 game. Should be removed imo.
Honestly, the play 1 battle in X campaign are fine. 2 battle tasks are kinda on the edge, but 3 battle ones I agree should 100% be removed.
There’s a weekly task where you have to capture 10 cap points and that cannot be rerolled.
Meanwhile, there are tasks that have a absurdly high number like destroy 6 tanks, 3 wins, 20 pistol kills, 18 melee kills, 3 planes. Sure I could reroll some of them especially the melee, plane and pistol but others, could roll in my T-34-85 in Berlin or Tiger in Normandy for such tank missions or just go with the panzerfaust but its annoying when nobody is spawning tanks and I have that task.
3 Battles as Axis in Tunisia even though I play Tunisia Axis can be a real snorefest to the point that sometimes I save it for last as I’m saving rerolls for much worse tasks. Atleast Normandy Axis is more tolerable.
While I understand the OPs point of view perfectly I find this a still tolerable strategy to make players also try out other campaigns.
The “capture X points” on the other hand… you way too often get into matches where youre on the defending side or youre playing the destruction mode. So there’s not even a chance for that match or even multiple following to complete the objective.
Add Shotgun Kills.
Add Kills with Tanks.
Kills with Plane or Roadkills with Something
Or whatever but remove that Shit Daylis, make it a Weekly Dayli would be fine.
I got maxed out all Campaigns but i play what I WANT When i WANT
Sure can Change but then you get Daylis much Worse… Shoot 3 Airplanes… Take 1 Strategic Point
Then Nobodys Fly or You Defending whole Day… Meh i go play Borderlands TinyTinas Wonderland…
I really dont understand what this fuss is about.
You dont want to complete that task? Change it.
I see them as a challenge to get out of my comfort zone and achieve them.
I know it sucks sometimes to change the campaign or the faction.
There are only two tasks I skip constantly: 50 mortar and 20 pistol kills.
I sometimes go “bah!” when i have to play a few rounds with the Axis, especially in my less preferred maps but as above, you can change the choice and tbh I usually have fun due to getting down and dirty with a rifle squad rather than using my preferred snipers.
just think of it as a way to xp boost those unlike maps/squads so next time you have to do it, they’re a bit “better”
As long as only base campaigns are there I personally don´t see a problem with this task…
Task: Unlock the TOZ-B shotgun in the Stalingrad campaign (unskippable)

Ifnyou want ti do them more easily go in custom, you can complete all task apart the destroy x tanks/Planes.
Not as bad, as you have longer to do it. And as I get at least 3-5 caps every attack and 4-6 every conquest, it isn’t as bad. Certainly not as bad as getting defense 3 times in a row while trying to do the 1 zone task.
Pretty easy actually. Go to moscow and detpack the little tanks. Or take out a high tier tank and wreck them that way.
Yeah, those suck. Especially the wins.
Pretty easy one if you play a plane that’s not just a dedicated bomber.
