Squad Career and Medal Records

As an MMO, part of the joy is building, progressing and customizing your favorite squads as you take them along on the journey with you. You become attached and even a bit sentimental about certain Squads. I think there is a good opportunity to have their journey and achievements chronicled. I know I take great pleasure and pride in these little features (Such as dressing them up and equipping them).

I thought that perhaps since statistics recorded per campaign will soon become redundant, It might be nice to shift these stat recordings to a more intimate career record of your squads on a squad by squad basis.

Squads and even individuals are already given the credit reward in the final score screen. Lets keep record of the tally.

Please forgive the crude representations, these are just to present the “general” idea. I slapped together a few alternatives (with images from google). Someone better suited could truly make it a monument to the squads career.

Accolades

To further it, You could use the collection of accolades, badges, medals (like Hero of the Soviet Union, or Knights Cross, Silver Star) to earn customizations, or unique customizations, Much like Warthunder allows you to earn camouflages and ACE crews simply by playing them ALOT.

Imagine earning unique camo patterns, uniforms, medals and badges that you can show off on your troopers

Veteran Squad

It could Also be a way to Earn The Veteran Upgrade that has Long been present but unused. Unlocked by the squad truly being a Veteran squad. (Same as unlocked ACE crew in Warthunder)

This has the great benefit of providing infinite progression/re-playability beyond leveling up the squad, and fostering player attachment.

Just thought Id throw it out there.

Cool Idea, it would also be nice to be able to equip medals on the soldiers’ uniforms.

Thats a great idea for unique earned/unlocked customizations

Great idea, I like the idea of getting further attached to my squads by watching them acquire medals and milestones.

EDIT: Also being able to track individual squad stats like you have suggested, kills, battle hero awards, etc. Would be fantastic.

That’s a bad idea that’s basically telling the enemy team this is my squad commander shoot him first

there’s a reason why you never show rank in battle and any type of superior officer

But if they are all wearing it, you couldn’t tell :stuck_out_tongue:

Squad commendations…not individuals.

You are overestimating the average Enlisted player

I came from Xbox I kill people because their uniforms and their markings wearing a hat just tells me who the commanding officer is

If I can I do my best to disguise my units so people think they’re starter units

Lol, I am not scared of that. I would happily flex with my soldier, I am proud of them.

Being a free to play player have it’s advantage in this case, every soldier is maxxed out like the commander and whit the same uniform…at least in Berlin
Anyway i don’t really think that is a problem, maybe 4% of the player base look at the uniform before shooting.
