Since I am batting zero on all of my suggestions with Dark Force, I thought I would throw out another that they will never discuss or consider, so lets waste a couple minutes of yours and my time. So, premium squads. Why can’t DF offer them up with interchangeable weapons loadouts? Some times, I want the weapon, but the vast majority of the time, I JUST WANT THE SQUAD. I am not buying premium squads to add to a mythical collection, I want to use it in the game, but I have my own ideas where I want to use it, not where DF says I have to use it by limiting me to the level of the gun they provide. I have been fine changing the squads from carrying ammo pouches to carrying secondary weapons, which works great unless you want to use that squad at a lower level. For example, the German MP18 squad. The MP 18 should have never been a level two as it came before the MP28 and MP34, which both were somewhat based off the MP 18. So, it is limited to level two. Now, had DF gave me the option of changing the weapon, it would be in level one using an MP34. Fortunately, it is not a medic squad, so I changed the ammo pouch to secondary weapon and I can use it at other levels above level two. But this should not be the case, especially if WE are paying for them.
To be honest, I would more happy with just buying a premium squad WITHOUT a weapon and adding my own then taking the weapon DF decides we should get, which a lot of the time is an inferior one then one you can get in the tech tree. So, take if for what it is, DF is to controlling, especially with shit we actually pay for IMOP. BTW, let me call out DF again on the absurdity of them offering a Soviet paratrooper squad with FULLY CHANGEABLE weapons loadouts, but NOT FOR THE OTHER FACTIONS. How does that make any sense?
There you go, another suggestion post which will never see the light of day by DF, but I’m an old retired business man, so what else have I got to do but request, complain and point out idiocies.
That and locking really cool weapons to only one premium squad sucks, especially if the weapon was kinda common or at least more common then the FG42! looking at you mp41 squad
(5000 FG42’s build vs 26,000 MP41’s)
I’m old and senile, so it’s expected. I love the game, but have no idea what DF is trying to accomplish, and if constant harassment will get them to be more compliant to what it’s players want, then so be it. Someone has to do it, and up till now, DF hasn’t banned me for my harassment. I will credit them with their tolerance.
If people want change, then there are really only two options. Stop paying, or constant badgering of the things players want changed. I fully understand that they get thousands of suggestions a year, and cannot act on them all. However, there are a lot of suggestions I see daily that they never act on. Like the soft rule. Most people hate it and have been complaining about for well over a year. When it comes to premium squads, I just think that DF should be making them player friendly, like with changeable weapons, as they have with the Soviet Paratrooper squad. If DF wants to keep the MP18 as a level two weapon, fine, just let me have the capability to remove that MP 18 and replace it with an smg of my choice. Same with any squad, let us buy them and decide for ourselves where to use them. Another example I have. DF offered a base BAR 1918 squad a while back, which I passed on because there was nothing special about that squad, and the BAR offered was inferior to the tech tree BAR’s, so I passed on it. Had DF offered it with interchangeable weapons loadouts, I would have purchased it, so, DF lost a sale because of it. I have passed on a lot of other squads for the same reason. So, this even costs DF money IMOP>
Same for customization.
Too many cool stuff are locking, unoptainable.
I’m ok to pay for a full unlock of all customization options (event, premium , old , legacy, present past and future ) in order to put what I want on my soldier, according to the battelfield.
Exemple :
For a squad with mg , radio and medic + other :
Medic: red cross helmet, radio : headset , mg : mg ammo chest band .
To Dark Force, I must look like a prick, but this is the only way to get change, stop paying for things, or constant badgering. Like you, I am willing to pay for things, but I am tired of paying for things that Dark Force is limiting. I have literally spent so much money that I should own stock in the company, so I am more then willing to buy, but I want more control of what I buy.
I hope many others will step up and demand DF makes changes, because there is strength in numbers, and DF is not going to listen to one senile old man, they’ve made that obvious, it’s going to take many voices to get their attention.
True, back some time ago when I started playing Enlisted and campaigns were present, it was the first and the last time I bought premium squads. Those were Italian Bersaglieri and Australian Hunters squad. I thought that for the first I could give some good Berettas Model 38 later on and for second Owen guns, but once I wanted to change their weapons and other stuff I realized its not even possible to change the unit classes and their guns. What a shame.
Leaving aside weapons for now, if I purchase gold coins from the team, I can use my green card to buy their special clothing for regular teams, and apply their special emblem to other teams. I would be happy to pay gold for this.
The G41 sniper version of the team clothing is very cool, and I also like the TZ45 team clothing and team badge. If all of this is opened one day, I will not hesitate to purchase them
I’m not a fan of the bolt action rifle, but there are some lower level rifle squads I would consider buying if they had changeable weapons. This way I could buy the squad and give them FG42’s and have another nine man rifle squad. Yeah, I could buy the squad and change the ammo pouch for a secondary weapon, but why would I want a level one rifle as my level five backup.
