How to add new battles, with historical equipement, without splitting the playerbase further. E.x Stalingrad

“”In short: “”Add Stalingrad maps to moscow (example), and make them on a rotation. 45mins stalingrad next 45 mins moscow maps.

For slight differences in gear a branching pad would develop. E.x the camapign would be the same, but at lets say level 30 they split up. So when you play stalingrad maps you get XP for Stalingrad tree, and when you play moscow you get moscow xp. All the levels past 30 will level up when playing both maps. With this different gear, you wouldnt be able to join a moscow game with stalingrad squads.

“”In longer and more detailed:””

Adding stalingrad maps to moscow would be the best solution since they have similar gear.

So as i said the differing battles would be on rotation. 45 min - moscow, next 45 min - stalingrad maps.
This would allow to play an average of 2 matches per rotation.

“”Differences in equipment “”
You would have 2 tech trees that would be very similar. So you will have 1 moscow squad setup, another stalingrad squad setup. Let me explain:

The unlocks will be the same until level 34 or higher( depends on devs) and then they would split. You play moscow maps - moscow xp, you play stalingrad maps - stalingrad xp. This would only apply when you finish the 34 levels of both corresponding.
This would allow battles to remain historical, and the grind would remain the same.

The guns, equipment that is the same would be there still. Let me explain. You bought a K98k? You got 1 for your stalingrad, and moscow squads. But if you bought lets say an MG42 that was only in stalingrad, you would only get it in stalingrad.

“”To make this more simple imagine this.””

Your 2 different faction squads will be just like CTRL + V. Until LVL34. So you can make them different if youd like. So your stalingrad squads will que stalingrad, moscow squads - moscow. Again the gear you buy if it is available in both campaigns will get shared.

Hope this wasnt too complicated to understand, will probably make a picture of what i mean of the different tech trees.

“”Developers, hope you find something useful here!
Anyone else let me know how you would improve this, change this.””

This is what i mean with the branching tech tree.

you add them exacly as the train map on berlin or all the normandy maps after D day.

just add them into it.
jumbo for example isnt far from reality if we consider most maps are after the actual landing and all of them had “activity” befor.

either way. the campaigns should be renamed to mass locations and not Moscow or normandy, but rather west, east, north africa campaign etc.

That is a good idea. I have suggested to add just maps before.

But what do you think about just splitting the tech tree at the end a bit? To make these battles have more historical vehicles.

I think they should generally reassess how they view campaigns, if they’re truly campaigns they should be separated by the theatres, not battles. So not, Normandy, but Western Front. Same in Moscow and Tunisia, those should be Ostfront and Africa respectively.

It would allow devs to branch out of the current battles without causing more splits, basically the only thing left is Pacific. Berlin can stay separate, maybe let it represent all battles fought on German territory.

Also, it would be incredibly helpful to both the players and the devs if they finally addressed the unlocks/progression. If they turned it more into a tech tree like Warthunder, where you unlock items in chronological, but independent order (i.e. you can unlock late war planes while you’re still rolling around with early Shermans) it would allow them to add new items, even if they’re weaker than lvl 30+ rewards without disappointing the players furthest along by just chucking the newest semi-auto variant into middle of the tree, rather than as lvl 33 unlock.

i think it would work better to have moscow as early eastern front and berlin as late eastern front. also early pacific theater would be better than just the pacific theater in general, esp for balancing

Been saying it all along. They need theaters and not campaigns. Have a western/eastern/ pacific theater. All campaigns active now would tie into their respective theaters. Problem solved,

not every one cares about historical accuracy thuo

it would work better if the the stuff you unlocked worked with previous equipment that’s the same like kar 98 or m1 carbine or Garand now. but we have to start over when u unlock the same weapon with a grenade launcher like why its the same weapon why cant you buy the launchers in the logistics then add to the m1 or kar 98 why does it have to be a new weapon

I suggest it in a similar way.

I like this but the one concern that I think may appear is what will happen with volksturm? There is a little trouble wirh its existence since these campaigns overlap in time before and after the formation of the volksturm. They could probably just fudge with the numbers a bit on the late eastern front but the late western front is a bit trickier since I dont think the volksturm existed in 1943 Italy( even though it would be hilarious just seeing german civs run around the country side of Italy).

Variety is always good and new things stimulate business. I’m happy. In addition, Italians also fought in Stalingrad. I haven’t seen them in game yet.
