Instead of new troops, upgrade units without losing level

I had already made a forum about this, but as you level up and they bombard you with “new” troops that are exactly the same, the game becomes heavier.

Let’s start because we all know that this game is totally illogical for new players… But we are also new every time we get troops.

I recently reached level 30 in Moscow. I decided to level up both assault 3 and machine gunners and snipers ll… But now without my maxed and fully equipped troops, you don’t do anything in the game, which makes leveling them up even more disgusting.

We already know that exp in this game is as difficult to get as the lottery. It’s an absurd system, but leaving that aside. It seems unnecessary to me to have to unlock new troops every 10 levels that are exactly the same, therefore what I suggest is an update…

When you reach level 30 for example and obtain the “assault lll” instead of giving you a new unit, they would give you the “soldier” and the weapon, in this way your assault unit ll would be updated to lll and you would only have to buy the new weapons… This way you don’t lose the level and you don’t go back to 0 in the game.

I forgot to mention that the troops are not easier to raise than the campaign either. The experience gained is based on how many you kill with it and it seems stupid to me since players with maxed troops humiliate you easily xD

Im pretty sure this will be addresed with the merge update and soldier ranks will be removed.

The merger has been mentioned a lot lately, but from the developers it already sounds like a distant myth hahaha

Not to mention that they already broke the game with the 6GB patch of the new repair mechanic and they still haven’t fixed it…

I don’t want to imagine the problems that the merger will bring.

Personally, I don’t have much hope for that merger, I don’t think it will change the game much seeing what the staff is like.

The merge is indeed a legend from the antic times written by the philosopher Gaijinius himself, the only tell of when it will come is the infamous quote from him that goes: “Soon™”.

of course, the perfect solution, fix the game by removing half the game, i should have thought of that, now to find another half a game.

?? You haven’t understood anything apparently.

i hate, hate people calling people who disagree with them stupid, i get it instead of having to unlock class upgrades with a new squad it would be included in the original squad, that is instead of having a class one rifle squad, a class two and three rifle squad you would just half a class one squad the trouble is half the game is grinding to unlock, if you eliminate those squads you eliminate the grind, it would be like saying ok let’s limit world of warcraft to a third of the levels

you don’t get me i am asking if you eliminate the grind what do people work towards.

I was right, you didn’t understand.

Nothing will change, neither the troops, nor the quantity…

The only difference will be that instead of giving you a “new” unit exactly the same as the previous one but that you must upgrade from 0, the game will give you an “update”

I’ll make it easier:

You have a level 10 assault unit.
You reach level 6 and they give you a grade 2 assault unit.
You have to level up that grade 2 unit again, buy the units again and buy the weapons again.
But that unit is exactly the same as the previous one but with an “ll” in its name.

What I propose is that when you reach level 2, instead of giving you another unit, the one you already have is updated without having to occupy spaces in the troop selection.

That way you won’t have to raise another unit, or buy troops again, or buy weapons again, or have to spend days playing with a unit with nothing until you level it up.

The rest of the game or different troops you unlock will remain exactly the same.

ok i half understood you upgrade a unit, but you don’t understand me you are removing content, you are removing grind what do players do when they have reached the end of this truncated progression system, that is they have full squads of level three in every class,

Routine? This game is the same no matter how long you play it ._.

This current system that is in the game only makes you face enemies that have already maxed out the campaign or new people, there is no middle ground. Since there is no balance, this system is just a headache.

I’ve been playing for almost 2 months, I’m almost 200 points ahead of the Marshal…

When I play with maxed troops you can turn the tables, but when you are starting a new campaign or raising troops you are no different from someone who has just started even if you have been playing for a while.

So, if you are new it doesn’t matter. But if you are in the high ranks when there are people playing the teams are usually all in the high ranks. How are you supposed to help your team or do anything if you are with new troops?

If leveling up troops were easy, this post would not exist. But raising new troops at high ranks is complicated even with premium.

Because you have nothing to deal with a maxed unit which results in dying as soon as you appear.

You have no engineers or radio operators and you cannot use maxed troops if you want to raise your units because to raise them you must play them.

grind is not content.

you know you can put your maxed and fully equipped troops into that level 1 squad to level it up. Doesnt take long to open open up the squad slots first.

Just because its an Assault III “squad” doesnt mean you cant fill it with your already maxed Assaulter Is and IIs.

Not worth filling it with new Assaulter IIIS until you have unlocked the Red Tree to allow them to be promoted to 5 star.

It might be slightly more difficult (mostly on the vehicle front), But personally I still score just as well with starter equipment and troops.

In my opinion, level newer squads is indeed too long. For instance, I got the Flamethrower squad II in Normandy and I have to get 20k+ xp point per level for this. This can take a very long time to unlock all the squad slots. The first levels are the worst because you only get 4 dudes in your squads and no engineer, it takes ages for the squad to level up.

However, I am clearly against the point of the new system envisionned by the original post. I like to have different squads of the same class some times, particularly MG, assault and flamethrower. But I do however agrees on the fact that the grind should be reduced.

It is not enjoyable to play 20 games with a squad of 4 dudes that will get wipe out at the first grenade or HE shell, and just getting 5 levels with it (or maybe even less) as I don’t use premium account.

For me, most of the time I will use 2 maxed squad and one squad that I want to grind., and a vehicule of some sort. All I end up played are the maxed squads and the vehicule, as I just get blasted with the new squads after only getting 5 or 6 kills with it.

I tried only once to play with only new squads, and even though my soldiers were only 5 stars dudes with maxed equipment, it was still the worst experience I had in the game.

Guess i just got used to it. I make a point of maxing all my squads, once they are maxed they are removed and replaced with the next squad that needs leveling. (once they are all leveled then I bring out the big decks lol)

I guess the result is I am so used to playing with minimal stuff so I dont notice too much. Also helps that rifles are some of the most satisfying weapons to use (imo)

Since the leveling system is horrible, I put all the units I want to level up except the engineers for obvious reasons.

The question of what they say about leaving only the unit to upload and the other max, I have tried it and personally I consider it useless for this reason:

When a unit is new, it is obvious that it is going to die as soon as it appears on the map, and since the game blocks them until 2 other units die and the game is so fast and short, you don’t end up being able to level up the unit you want. …

Not to mention that with a maxed out unit you last much longer in combat and this will prevent you from being able to use the unit you want unless you kill 2 squads.

This game has many useless and meaningless things and the system of leveling an exactly identical unit every 10-15 levels is completely absurd with the leveling difficulty.

I personally have premium and a lot of time (although I don’t play that much because in the end this game stresses me out) and it still takes me a long time to level up… I would say that it is even easier to level up the campaign than a unit.

I’m with you. I have so many squads sitting in “reserve”, some of them probably with equipment and weapons that I’ve forgotten about since there’s no way to view/change soldiers equipment without having them “active”.

I don’t waste time levelling new soldiers anymore, too much of a hassle. However, the process of swapping out soldiers is nearly just as obnoxious.
