i wanted to release this suggestion yesterday. but i got caught up by few things and didn’t had to much time on my hand. so i’m finishing it today while i’m at work ( don’t try this at home kids. or… i guess at work in this case )
so, to capitalize on the tragedy that the event has been in the history of this game, which it won’t probably be the last one, and act quick on it while salvaging the situation, i bet they weren’t so ready for this one.
i say that if they truly meant what they wrote:
how about making that future more present?.
and more concrete.
especially taking into consideration that they did planned on adding one or more of the goofy characters from the april fool event again:
( just like they did for halloween )
except it makes no sense.
because literally the character with most kills is going to be the samurai as he is the standard character. unless that was intentional and premeditated, it also makes no sense on a second level considering that this samurai was already introduced in the halloween battlepass ( a battlepass that i bought but apparently didn’t needed to because as rng/silver crates will essentially contain previous special battlepass weapons and squads. such as the battle pass ones. so effe my gold i guess )
but, to make sense and to at least gain back some of that trust, i came with the easiest solution and a more logical one.
i’m sorry to sound pretentious and/or kinda similar to paradivision. but enough is enough.
after 5 years we keep running in circles. and at this point, this situation is becoming a circus. and yes. i maybe am a clown. but it takes one to know one.
regardless, i am going to vote, and i did so with my wallet:
( hence, the whole clownette arc. kinda borned as a jest of it, as i’m aware of my own actions, and also inspite of this april fool. )
Main Suggestion & Compensation for the community
with this suggestion i wanted to tackle a couple of points:
- a suitable compensation for the community
- avoid wasting decent assets
- introduce a squad that is grounded and still has to do with the second world war.
- and above all, faster to implement considering:
which implies it was just a matter of time as someone was actively going to introduce pan / naked man ( or anyone else for that matter ) eventually.
scrap that, and follow this one instead.
i present you a new and more appealing, french assaulter " The resistancè " squad for the US faction:
features of this squad
( which developers will have to implement. but it’s not set in stone. major / minor adjustments can be done accordingly )
- an unique french squad with all french speaking “soldiers”
- new cosmetics featuring french salopettes
- x2 “original” gendarmerie Assaulters with the new MAB 38 ( for US. opposed as germany )
- an additional radioman, anti tank trooper and engineer all equipped with m1 carbines
- a rather handsome fella with hair

the squad composition is precisely copied from the halloween USSR assaulter squad, so… even less work.
but to make it unique, let’s use assets from the editor. so it’s going to be even faster to make this squad and on top, be unique. ( although, if needed, they can all wear the gendarmerie uniform i guess. )
Why the m1 carbine?
because that’s what some of the french resistance were equipped with.
the other alterinative, would be the Enfield M1917 considering that they also issued those.
and since most french weapons are behind gold orders, or straight up given to the germans, the m1 seemed to be the logical choice which is also friendly within what current classes can use.
but, it’s kinda up to devs. and players will be able to equip them with other type of weapons anyway.
since in the HW squads, you are able to do the same.
Why give the mab38 to only this squad?
ideally, said weapon can be used by any squads. but as explained, since it was a french weapon, and since the gendarmerie are french, it wouldn’t hurt have 2 of these weapons given to the US. kinda like a trade off.
but there are no french radioman / engineer or anti tank troopers
you’d be correct, but Wrong.
just like us modders can in our mods, it is possible to create any type of soldier and assign it a class. fairly confident that developers can do that as well.
in conclusion
that’s… kinda pretty much all. not ideal to some people, but better than nothing. and still concrete rather than gambling.
granted, there are way more cosmetics. and i would have loved to get an adrian helmet instead.
but that’s probably never going to happen in any foreseeable future. so, let’s take what we have already, and give it a new light.
any improvements upon this suggestion are welcomed.
although i doubt there are many.
as i figure most will be already busy with:
but that’s all.
p.s.
yes, you are allowed to make fun of me for getting this rather awefull battlepass
which i personally do not reccomend since they already stated that:
but you do you.
i never claimed to be smart in the first place
