a brif of context
so… i’ll start by saying that i’m greateful that various improvements were made to presets.
such as being able to select them through customs, being able to give them optimal equipment based on br on the player equipment and what not
but, i think there could be a room for even further improvements.
the merge happened from quite some time, and i started to grind towards as much as possible historical loadouts for all campaigns to eventually use in customs or in general. additionally, i also added some presets with cosmetics that i use from time to time.
but, my problem is, there aren’t enough slots for all my needs.
yes i know, first world problems.
but bear with me for a moment.
in my case, i finished all the slots available
which sucks. and unironically, not even done because i’m still missing winter presets, moscow preset, and in other instances, grenadiers specific presets. which, despite seemingly duplicated, they are actually different with many different weapons etc.
and when my premium time will run out, ( or anyone for that matter ) i bet we will lose some of our presets because as far as i can gather, squads presets are even limited if you do not own premium.
simialar to the decals placed in the third and forth slot. they will simply get removed once the premium timer expired.
main suggestion
as the title,
increase the numbers.
squads presets to 20 and soldiers presets to 25
so that people can have at least two presets for each br and have additional presets for their own liking / unique squad formations. up to 20 or, similar to war thunder, 18.
the same goes for soldiers presets.
weather it’s truee that there aren’t many weapons, it is not that much truee when it comes to using the same weapon in combination with assault, and defence kits.
for example, having an m1 garand assault kit with one explosive, one grenade, and one smoke, and a more defensive kit with m1 garand, ap mine, explosive, large ammo bag, shovel and so on.
which, if you try to make universal kits, still you wouldn’t have space for others kits.
and both the squad and presets increase exponentially if we consider lone fighter too. having different squads and presets.
additionally, i think presets do need some sort of improvements.
such as
- Disarm reverse
disarm reserve is helpful, but for most people it’s annoying the fact that it disarm squads inside presets too.
so it would be great if people could lock squads from being stripped.
the way it could work, would be through an additional icon of a
near the other preset functions.
so that way, if the lock is selected / ticked, the disarm reserve otption WILL NOT and SHOULD NOT change / touch squads with the " lock - on ".
but if it’s not selected, then the disarm will also strip those squads.
- Squads being used in different presets
Should SAVE the squad composition of the same soldier, saving the position of weapon, and retaining the same slot unless changes were applied to the squad.
countless of people already shared their frustrations about presets being a pain to manage if you are using the same squad in different presets.
which that shouldn’t happen.
and, if a weapon is missing or a squad, the game should warn you about various missing items, or soldiers. and add an option to buy the missing items, or replace them with other items that the user has.
and an additional feature that i think would be interesting,
would be,
the ability to select more of one presets
for queue at the start of a match as long both brs matches.
meaning that, if for example, i have two lines up of the same br, but would like to switch once at the start of the match, people could do that.
primarily useful if people are grinding more than one, or adapt their situation weather it’s a long range map ( such as tunisia & pacific ) or short range such as berlin, stalingrad, and gavutu. and so on and on.
but, if
presets of different brs
it allows people to run with more than few brs
( explained better here )
so yeah, that’s about it from me.
if anyone else thinks there should be more improvements to presets, let me know and i’ll might add them.
buttom which would prevent certain squad do be disarmed while being in reserves.
