Yesterday, I wrote a suggestion post about the new progression system, where I put a lot of my personal ideas, most of which are too far-fetched, and required radical changes. So today I am writing a more practical(and shorter) post.
The title speaks for itself, but let me explain. In the current system, the squad level up can only be with the xp the squad gains. What would happen if the squad points are gone and we can level up our squads with the all the experience the squads gain. For example, experience earned by an assaulter squad can be used to level up an attacker aircraft squad.
Here is list of benefits from this one change:
One, we don’t have to grind squads we’re not interested in to be able to upgrade the weapons we like.
Two, premium squads will help even more to the grind as they helps grinding other squads, not just the campaign(levels).
Three, this reduces the frustration of having to grind a level 1 squad when you already have max-level squads as you can level up squads prior to their deployment.
TLDR: Using combined experience of squads to level up squads(even the ones not in battle) will reduce the grind significantly.

another way to do it: make so xp earned to maxxed squads is redirected into a reserve that can be invested on other squads or on the campaign level (but with a reduction for campaign level like only 50% of the invested will be really used)
note: but it is a reserve for each campaign so you can’t grind on one campaign to upgrade another

I wouldnt like to see that a squad in the reserve gets XP for doing nothing. But a shared XP pool for all squads taken into battle could be cool.

That’s a nice idea. So half of xp earned from premium and max-level squads will be stored for use in upgrading other squads.
If squads taken into battle share their xp and we have to block upgrading unused squads at the same time, what feature should we implement?
Maybe make players use up their earned xp before changing squad setup? That’s not easy because the squad update is not continuous. Or we can limit the use of ‘shared xp’ to squads that participated(spawned at least once) in the previous battle.
I think this feature(the second idea) will only affect the non-premium users with no additional slots because they will have to spawn in the under-leveled squad(under assumption they only use infantry) multiple times. Players with more slots, can play only with their high-level squads all match. All they have to do is spawn in the under-leveled squad once and die quickly. I would rather let shared xp be used on unused squads rather than implementing a feature that only affects the non-premium players’ gameplay.
What do you think?
maybe it’d be better to make so only 50% of the xp earned by premium squads go to the reseve since they have a +100% bonus to xp

This would have a negative effect on free users because premium users such as myself will simply spam mortar or artillery squads for kill xp to level up our tanks and planes to absolutely punish the opposing team. This suggestion, if implemented, would allow me to very quickly unlock say the Panther G very early on. A free user would have the M5A1 while I am rolling around in the Panther G, which the M5A1 cannot frontally pen, slaughtering their team.
It would become imbalanced very quickly, in my opinion.
