Remove requirement to have a vehicle in squad lineup

I don’t think it should be necessary to have 1 of your 4 squads slots be a vehicle.

I find myself on some campaigns often setting a plane as my required vehicle because most of the time they aren’t available so it resets my respawns faster for my infantry squads. But on these campaigns, I’d much prefer to just pick a 4th infantry squad in my lineup.

I also see lots of people doing single-run, suicide bombings with planes or just driving a tank into an objective and getting blown up rightaway, both of which are a HUGE waste of tickets. I can’t help imagine that some of that is because the game requires them to have a vehicle in their lineup and they want to reset their infantry spawns.

I just think being able to have 4 infantry squads would allow players to apply their strengths better and create a more dynamic battle by having more options for responding to enemy actions.

Even with the premium it allows you to carry more troops, but they still force you to carry a plane and a tank xD

Unnecessary like many things in this game.

If that was a thing this would be even more useful for defenders what I’m putting here.

I don’t get why someone would waste a vehicle to reset their infantry squads when you choose your squad lineup in the first place. It would go without saying that you’d choose what you want to use in the first place. Unless if people just choose one they think is cool and the rest are fodder

I don’t think like this. Whatever Squads I bring I commit fully into playing their role.

I think the 3 infantry and 1 vehicle slot is fine as is. If anything they could add 2 vehicle slots by default one for tank and one for plane so everyone has both options

Yes please. Most of my matches I can’t even pull a vehicle if I wanted to because the team NEEDS more infantry on the frontlines. A 5th squad of infantry would be a boon for players who play the objective more than camping the greyzone with a tank or playing ring-around-the-rosie as a plane.

just add slots without a premium account. I’m tired of this pay-to-win.

This game isn’t a pay-to-win. Just a pay-to-grind-less.

I’m tired of people who play free-to-plays complain that their free account doesn’t get them 100% access. It’s very expensive to make a game like this so I’m okay with extra slots being available for premium users who are helping support the development of the game.

It just makes sense to allow the currently allotted slots to be more flexible. (Sort of like how on rifleman class you can place a rifleman in any slot but your limited on engineers, AT, etc)

if you have one assault squad. I often do this at the beginning of the company. Or without a premium account. To take the best squad faster. 3 slots is a big limitation. You need 2500 gold to have one additional slot for each faction. 25 dollars, I think. Only for one slot.
Not so relevant in the future, but how long to wait?

but it is. In this game you can buy the advantage. This is a fact. If it’s not pay to win, then what is it?

At the very least the 1st tier rifleman squad should be a passive squadron that always is available to pull during a match.

In present balance vehicles are often just useless

exactly, people fool themselves this is pay to progress, right, tell me then how much I need to be grinding to get that full fedorov squad in moscow, N/A

You pay to advance as a convenience if you don’t want to grind. It’s not like people who pay are getting characters that are invincible. You can just as easily kill a premium squad as a level 1 rifleman squad.

Anytime I play with my low level campaigns I can still get top 3 on my team and win (and most importantly have fun).

Hate to say it but if you’re not doing well at low levels it’s likely due to a lack of cunning rather than kit.

I’d love to see you doing that, average enslited player isn’t skilled or very smart and doesn’t have to be. You would die to prem squad as rifleman 9 out of 10 times. Just because they can be killed doesn’t mean they aren’t strong, and most importantly you can’t get prem squad from just regular progression which is abnormal

bad logic. A weapon that kills with a single bullet. the rate of fire of 1200 rounds per minute will not pay to win. This is nonsense. premium accounts don’t just give you more experience. It gives slots. Flamethrowers from Tunisia, say hello.

Then cheating isn’t a problem as you can kill cheater even with starter weapon.
At least according to this logic.

F2p should be allowed to get 5th and maybe even 6th slot for squads.

Only 3 inf slots means I’m forced to take meta squads “just in case” and I can’t use stuff I actually want (unless I don’t mind being at disadvantage). Same goes for vehicles.

I don’t think it’s too abnormal, especially since Gaijin charges for one unit what a full game costs :laughing:

Well you have to give people paying to support development something for their money. But you certainly don’t need to pay to WIN, is all I’m saying.

If you could to pay Gaijin money to get the powers a cheater has, then that for sure would be a pay-to-win scenario. :wink:

Why? You still would be able to kill them with just one bullet from a starter weapon.
