this way everyone would get to experience atleast half the unlocks in every campaign but still have to work for the real end game. it would give free to plays a sense of progressing and they would still have to work to actually finish the grind. it just wouldnt look hopeless from the start anymore! alot of grind-games do this sort of thing anways and it works
In all seriousness I think it would be nice to at least have ONE PPSh/STG/Thompson per army by default so that new players wouldn’t be completely curbstomped at every engagement with their MP 3008, while you’d be able to purchase more only after unlocking the said weapon.
