Questions about the incoming changes

Since they are joining multiple campaigns into one nation only, there will be many more squads in the lineups to choose from so will they be increasing the baseline squads a starting player can take to battle? Would make sense to increase it since there will be so many more squads in each country after these changes

Seems like this is a waste of squads if they don’t increase it

At least with campaigns you play different squads as you level up new campaigns, now it will all be mixed in, probably less reason to play a lot of squads, so a lot of squads will likely not see as much action, especially if you can bypass some on the new tree

Just imagine out of 3 campaigns and only 4 squads active, so many squads will just be sitting around outside the game

I’m not liking the idea of this new system the more I think about it

Would have been better to address this issue as it is, as so many squads don’t see action even now, and with the changes will be even worse, at least with campaigns I would play some other squads every time I would switch campaign. Maybe something can be added to give incentive to change squads between matches for a benefit? Something to give reason to use more squads would be very welcome…Like random bonuses attached to rare squads that might activate randomly, giving different generous benefits to using those squads to give players a reason to bring them to the battlefield?

Something to help spice up the game in this regard would be very nice

They aren’t going to, that’s why they added squad presets so you can quickly switch between squad setups. Which is fine for me honestly.

I think what is a far bigger issue is in the new update players will be able to bring multiple flamethrower squads or assaulters and cycle through them, creating a nightmarish battle for anyone who doesn’t have the same ability or doesn’t want to use it. I fear having more base squad slots will make that even worse.

Is this inside the match or outside the match?

Assault squads are already spammed, so don’t see much difference there as they cycle between 3 or 4 already

I was thinking that they could increase the slots but keep a certain template limit, so for example

could not have beyond 2 Flame Squads or 3 Assault Squads, or to unlock an extra slot, you would have to include an infantry squad in your squads. So say you use 2 Assault Squads and want a third, first you have to put in an infantry and that unlocks the 3rd Assault squad, and you have to use the infantry in game before you can use your second assault squad…something along these lines to help spread the squads between different types of squads and encourage more diverse use of squads

just something to encourage squad diversity would be great, such as a bonus for having more diverse squads would be great, imagine a 50% xp bonus if all your squads are of a different type and no repeats, that would be pretty cool
