Some suggestions

Hi guys, my ingame name is BeavisButthead and my real name is Chris. I have been playing this beautiful game for 300 hours or so and I have some suggestions. I wonder if more people think like I do in the direction of improving the player experience. I play the Moscow campaign the most.

  1. Can the pilots get a kill count next to the pilot’s name, just like any other unit?
  2. The objects in front of or close to the windows often push me to the side like an invisible hand. It really is annoying and I wonder if this can be resolved. I would rather have no objects close to the windows and have a basic inside then an inside decorated with a lot of objects that push me away while having firecontact.
  3. Can the ''mortar bunny hop" be resolved? After the first mortar round goes out, the mortar jumps back to the standard 100 meter position.
  4. I have to admit I am a deserter in conquest and destruction game modes. I love the invasion game mode so I always get out of the other modes when the server puts me in them. Would it not be better to create 2 new game modes for squads being: Squads:Destruction and Squads: Conquest? In this way the player can choose between: Invasion, Destruction or Conquest without having to desert.
  5. The machine guns are so inaccurate(except MG42) that I do not understand why people would want to play with them. First shot hits in most cases and then the gun starts to get crazy. If the Germans would have had these machine guns in the WW2 then they would not have hit any enemy soldier.
  6. On the birch grove map(invasion) it would be nice to place some MG42’s at the respawn area because when your own team sucks and the enemy team does not well then it becomes a spawn kill mode. MG42’s will probably not be enough, redesigning this map would even be better, to have a better placed spawn area.

These are some thoughts/suggestions, let me know what you think.

Kind regards and have a nice day.

Hi Chris,

The best way to motivate people to do something is to give a reward
Maybe they should increase the exp earned for the unpopular mod like conquest and destruction at the end of a game.

1 Its partly ingame as vehicle kills. In the results its splitted up again between tank and plane.
2 +
3 +
4 + or just increase xp for conquest
5 Partly ramdon dispersion, already hated in HnG. Partly cause people shoot with them while running
6 MG42s wont solve it. Prefer redesigns so partly +.

Hi Upolaf,

Thanks for replying to my message. I did not think of this option myself and I think it could work. It is always nice to get an extra reward. I am not sure if it is enough to let me play the other modes but it is worth the considiration.

Greetings,

Chris

Hi CaptainSebekel,

Thanks for your reply. Nice to see that there are other players that think alike. Your comment on random dispersion is spot on. I do not mind if a gun and its ways are hard to learn like in for instance CS:Go but when it is random then there is not much skill to obtain. Would love to see Birch Grove redesigned!

Greetings,

Chris

Hi chris ! you seam like a nice fella.

glad you are enjoying the game and hopefully you interact with the community more on this forum.

i have bn playing since pre-alpha and i agree with most your points.

1 - Yeah , i would also like to see that too.

2 - do you mean the player leans on the window edge/corners or?

3 - happens alot, even tho i rarely play with mortars i share the same input everytime i play with them.

4 - we are constantly asking for a way to only queue in invasion or assault / conquest or destruction or what ever combination of games using normal queue. they stated a year ago on a devstream that More options would lead to more player separation or huge queue times, its something they might do in the future. custom games did apear a few months after, i m not sure if that was the answer for our question tho.

5 - Game goes around and rewards progression most (key note here, most) of the times, making latter campaign rewards more stronger, precise, faster, etc than early ones, wouldnt make sence for a business , to have early content on first levels that could match or outmatch latr content, making players not wanting to invest gold in premium (business) to get said items faster and use them, and, there is also a economy around, as we level up, we spend our rewards on new acquired weapons, making the business of the game flowing as we go. making early content as good or on par as latter one wouldnt make sence (both business and player retention / interest in leveling up to get said items if a early one was as effective as a latr one).

5.1 - All machine guns, early or latr ones, have huge bullet dispersion if you either hipfire or move while you ADS and fire. if you want either early and latter ones to be more precise, dont move when you shoot and small burst fires are the way to go early on.

6- imo all moscow maps suck, but we cant all love the same woman.

again, hope to see more of your posts around.

All of the allied lmgs are actually rather accurate, I’ve literally never killed 18 people with a single mag of any German lmg yet i can rather easily do it with a dp27, the bar including the German captured polish one is laser accurate even when standing, the only allied lmg i can think of that’s straight up bad is the madsen

Hi Chris, here a Chris too :call_me_hand:

I recomment Tunisia to you… its same Spirit like Moscow Campaigns, maybe you will think about that Question in Future which Campaign you should choose next…

Got nothing more to say, stay with us…

You are a F2P Gamer or did you invest more except Time inGame?

Hi Shiivex,

Thank you for your thorough reply, I appreciate it. I will explain the second mentioned point: A lot of small windows in the houses have a small object in front of them like a small bench. When I ADS and aim for a target sometimes I move a little to left or right to make it harder for an enemy to hit me if he or she sees me. I take 1 step to the left but then the game keeps moving me to the left, out of sight of the enemy. This is actually the reason why I carry an axe in my inventory so I can hit the objects and destroy them before I make firecontact :laughing:. I also experienced this ‘‘forced movement’’ when my squad members are next to me and a lot of action happens ingame(artillery, aerial bombardment and heavy fighting at the same time). Another thing with the windows is the placement of small windows, some are at an impossible height, when you crouch you are to low to shoot through it and when you stand you are to high to shoot through it.

Your reply on the 4th point gives me more understanding of why the developer would not consider splitting it up, I know queue times can become a game killer when players get frustrated with it and they could maybe leave the game because of it. Good point. To be honest, I never play custom games due to the fact that when I look at the custom game list, there are not a lot a lot games going around with enough players and when I see them they are often Lone Wolf games while I prefer squads.

The 5th point is very understandable if I put myself in the shoes of the makers. I must say: they deserve the money, because it is a kick ass game. As for the machine gun part: to have the patience to give bursts of fire while seeing complete squads advancing on the point is pretty hard for me haha, I just want to welcome them with a wave of bullets.

I like the Moscow maps because I always love maps with snow. I have no clue why actually. Indeed, loving the same woman would be FUBAR.

Greetings from Holland,

Hi ImTAYLA,

Thank you for your reply. Your comment makes me want to play with the allied side and try the DP27 for instance. I normally play on the German side because I am, from young age, interested in German warfare and their equipment(without having any favor for their ideology). Will try!.

Greetings,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Nice to see another Chris :grin:
Thank you for your recommendation, I will play the Tunisian campaign more! I have been playing the Moscow campaign a lot (level 29 now). I am a F2P gamer but I am going to spend some money on the game, not because I want to speed up my progress but because I think this is a great game and I want to support the makers.

You could be of any nationality but I wonder if you are German or Dutch because your ingame name indicates an order at a bar in both languages( I speak both)

Greetings and have a nice day.

Chris
