Personally, I want to thank the Devs for their work, for real, but to be honest with you, I find this upcoming update to be at the 0,000001% of the full potential that the addition of APCs would have in terms of actual improvement of the playersā experience.
[ā¦] fast troop carriers are a nice addition too, as to see Trucks and APCs would be dope: BUT instead of being premium only, as announced by the Devs, this should be done in a dedicated research line, adding a dedicated Truck/APC slot for anyone, together with the base vehicle slot (so, for base players, 5 ground squads + 1 Truck/APC + 1 Vehicle slot), with the same cooldown system and spawn limits as the other vehicles so to avoid spam. Premium users could get 2 APC/Truck slots along the 2 vehicle slots, for example. [ā¦]
These [vehicles] could include vehicles such as the German Opel Blitz, coming before the Sd.Kfz. 251 and some of its variants in the research line, the US M3 half track for both the US and Soviets, the Italian SPA Dovunque 35 and 41 and the FIAT 665NM Blindato and so on. Some example of premium content should be those which are more specialized, such as the Sd.Kfz. 251/2 mortar carrier, Sd.Kfz. 251/8 I medic vehicle with medic squad (you know, countries used to have various models of ambulances during WW2, being trucks or converted APCs), Sd.Kfz. 251/10 and 22 anti-tank configurations of the Sd.Kfz. 251/1, Sd.Kfz. 251/16 flamethrower version, the Anti-Air Sd.Kfz. 251/17 and 21, with specialized crews, and so on for the other factions and countries.
Dear Devs, I hope youāll find my suggestions to be useful. Yours truly, HellPaul
Half-Tracks are to me, the true mechanical symbol of this conflict, not the tiger or m4 etc, they were phased out relatively quickly afterward, and never saw truly heavy use before, so Iām delighted they have FINALLY been added.
All that having been said, with the way most of the maps are, these things are just up armored coffins/point pinatas.
tech tree is a mess. It supoose to show the development of weapons but instead they just put everything in a line. especislly the heavy weapon line. you got at rifle, at luncher and all other thing mixed up
Unless they are BR1, you cannot take them into any BR. It matters since maps are based on BR and how intolerable a match will end up being. Itās already hard enough to have a fun match after the update.
Also, US get fucked, no counter for them. Unless they make an event with a F2P version then F2P German and Russian players get fucked.
Darkflow: Letās implement this highly controversial, unfinished, buggy system since we donāt want to pay our employees to work on it for more than a year.
Also Darkflow: Now that our update has received huge backlash and players leaving due to the issues with it, let us introduce this new P2W mechanic that isnāt available for all nations, so we can give an advantage to certain players.
Hello there! Thank you for your reply, and you just mentioned a class which I totally forgot: raiders. Raiders could become the precursors of Trucks/APCs only, much like an early-game starting point, where IFVs (tankettes for example) being separated in their own armored research line.
This of course may be different for those nations/factions who did not dispose of riders during WW2, and this would bring even more variety to the game.
I think going forward Gaijin really needs to include Tier/BR information on the premium vehicles before asking for money. Like if these are Tier 3 I want them but if theyāre 4 or 5 Iām not intereted.
