I am confused with the solider upgrade with the new economy system

[TheOnlyB33]

So. From the looks of it, buying soliders will be way more expensive. And they are going to keep the setting of handicap solider. Like the 2 more/less stats thing. So how is the level or the stars work out? Because from what I understand in the blog, upgrading soliders will no longer cost resources instead they are going to be bind with the solider upgrade in team upgrade. Like click the 4 star upgrade then every solider with that class&tier will all become 4 star is that currect?

New currency

Stats will still be random because there is no mention of changing it at all, only to remove the randomization when buying a soldier: When you buy a soldier right now, you receive a 2-5 star soldier randomly, after the merge it’s tied to squad upgrades.

so, essentially, it will be somewhat of an automated process.

( it seems )

and soldiers will be tied to the upgrades of the squad.

meaning that, if you have AT soldiers of type I with the 5 star upgrades from base squad, everyone will become 5 stars ( that is AT type I. which does not apply on type II / III and so on ).

( or, if that doesn’t happen, most likely you will have to upgrade them like it currently works )

guess we’ll see in some weeks as the test server will drop.

No it mean if you have researched the 5 star soldier (rank) upgrade in the squad research tree all fresh recruit soldier of that type recruited and placed in the squad automatically become rank 5 as well

What is not said is if soldier keep their rank wen are outiside their “home” squad

Isn’t that exactly what she wrote

As for soldiers placed in other squads, I believe they will keep their star rank. Because only an AT squad can upgrade an AT soldier’s rank. So there’s no way your AT guy would get back to 1 star if it’s placed in an assaulter squad for example.

It’s the same thing with weapons upgrades. You unlocked the last upgrade for your mp40 in your assaulter squad? Then the mp40 you fully upgraded, will still be fully upgraded if put in the hands of a tanker, for example.

You will buy a soldier of rank I / II / III and he will level up in his rank automatically when he will get enough XP.

The upgrade is free, but the price of buying soldiers seems to include the cost of upgrading.That is to say, now you can reduce the cost by not upgrading the bad soldiers, but then you will be forced to upgrade all the soldiers.So it will only get worse.
