Currently, we all have the same possible selection of squads in Enlisted: 3-4 infantry + 0-1 tank/aircraft (+ 1 premium) without purchasing additional slots. How about the additional option to select that your current selection of units is part of a specific branch of the military, with advantages and restrictions? For example: the current selection could be part of a Mechanized Division, a Tank Division, an Airborne Division, or an Infantry Division, each with a small tree of perks.
The Mechanized Division would be what we currently have - no restrictions and the perks would be minimal.
The Tank Division would not allow aircraft to be chosen - but perhaps one of the perks could allow for ammo selection.
The Airborne Division would not allow tanks to be selected - but could allow for ammo or bomb selection, maybe an exclusive paratrooper unit, etc.
The Infantry Division would not allow aircraft (perhaps only fighter planes) and no tanks - maybe only assault guns would be selectable, perhaps additional equipment or options for infantry troops.
I’m sure you can think of plenty of new perks that would be fitting and enrich the game. I hope I have described this clearly enough.
What do you think of this idea? (I haven’t searched the entire forum - this idea may have come up before.)
It sounds a little similar to the way “Steel division 2” determines what you can bring to battle.
Personally i like that kind of depth
I briefly mentioned it once, but didnt go far into the idea
Its an interesting concept that deserves a thought at least, though I would worry here is just overcomplicating something for certain players that are indistinguishable to bots.
Well ,there are more urgent addition to the game for sure (like AI). But this one would be a nice addition further down the road of development.About your worry : thats simple lock this option first and unlock after some progress is made by the player - together with a nice tutorial.
Thank you for your post.
I am not against the idea, though Im a little puzzled as to what it actually is?
Like, what’s the benefit here?
If I had the option to not take a tank OR plane and could instead just have 4 or 5 infantry squads, Id take it.
But personally I think F2P should just be allowed 4 infantry + tank OR plane rather than 3 infantry and tank or plane.
I do commend the devs for allowing APC and rider class to replace tank/aircraft slot if desired.
i would probably rename the idea to either “army group” or field army considering all the squads we have come from divisions already like 91st infantry division from germany, 4th armored from the US, 33rd guards from russia, 78th infantry from the UK, 132nd armored from the italians and the 1st tank division from the japanese
