This might sound a little schizo but hear me out, I think its a nice way to shake up the meta without nerfs
Currently, each perk takes up 1 slot and the only restriction is the perk points.
For the sake of argument lets say you have a soldier with 16 pp in a category, say red, and 5 stars
If you assign a 16 pp perk like vitality to him you use up 1 perk slot and 16 red pp. The soldier now has one of the best perks in the game, which costs all red points and only one slot.
If you want to use 2 perks that add up to 16 perk points, like more medpack health and +100% stam you use 2 perk slots and 15 red pp.
Because you only have 5 slots, each is very valuable. 1 vitality perk costs the same as 2 lower tier perks in terms of points, but half as much in terms of slots. Because the vitality perk is more useful in general situations (less of a niche perk) there is absolutely no reason not to take it over 2 perks. This effectively makes it so that every guy you have will be running vitality because it is the only economically viable option.
Now, my suggestion:
Make slots unlimited. This might sound crazy but you still have perk points to limit you, which are now the reason to star up. Now you can still choose vitality, sprint speed, and horizontal recoil (the meta perks), but then you have only 3 used slots. You can also choose many perks, maybe even 10 if you choose all the low cost ones (Yes, there are free perks, with this change they would also cost a few pp.) This way you have a reason not to use the meta perks but you can still use them if you want to. No stupid nerfs. Everybody is happy.
TL;DR: remove the slot restriction on perks, make free perks cost something.
Thoughts/suggestions?
because some class have max perk points >16 and with that allow them to have sprint, recoil, vitality perk and some perk that cost 0, 2, and 3 perk point?
well ithink it would work better if you could choose where to put the points say you dont want any points in the speed category you should be able to put the 16 points from speed to another if you so wish or from any section you dont want each level you get said points you choose where they go and no more not perfectly rolled troops as all troops will be able what perks they want
Dont know, there are some perks that cost very little or no points what so ever, and I really dont want to see “extra jump height” on every enemy soldier.
im not being sarcastic we have det pack spam anyway why not allow people to choose which perks they actualy want and it will get rid of not perfectly rolled troops.
