as the title says, the new update even with some too many, wy (?) it was really a pleasant surprise the best thing is to be able to upgrade weapons that, even if weak as MP28, once upgraded do their duty and can simplify life for new players, but the upgrading of weapons is closely linked with the different squads and more precisely with the tier 2/3 squad, if the tier 1 squad can be completed easily and quickly that of tier 2/3 NO! that currently differ from those of tier 1 only for the weapon tech tree, forcing the player even with the premium to have to grind more 100,000xp just to be able to upgrade their weapons, this discourages those like me who do not have the slightest desire to waste time grinding the assaulter squad of 3 level (for 2 or 3 days) to upgrade the mp43/I for example (excellent weapon even without upgrade), obviously I have no suggestions how to do this because the squad system is basically the pivot on which the entire game is based and modifying it would involve modifying the whole game, I want to point out only how much the gaming experience would improve if we could simply play without too many headaches, event on this front
I don’t understand. The issue is that there’s too many squadsl tiers, that some weapon upgrades are locked behind some squads, or that some the game now incentivizes playing with few different squads?
the issues is that weapon and trooper opgrades are locked behind squads, often being ones that you wouldnt use
for example AT gunners are useful in other squads, but if you dont use AT gunner squads(because they are kinda pointless) you cant get the ability to upgrade them, leaving them at whatever level you get them. same for weapons
i completely agree thet you should be able to upgrade everyone and every gun(even for an incresed price)
Well, I disagree that one should be able to fully upgrade a soldier type without even touching their original squad.
Being forced to play with other squads helps people get used to different soldiers classes.
Otherwise, people will just play a few squads which is what dark flow seems to be favoring with their updates that restrict ability to fully man many different squads
You can already put other soldier classes in other squad wy some one have to play radio trooper for upgrade garand in normandy, is pointless and stupid, wen i can simply use him in the assaulter squad
well the problem is that you can get the full benefir of some soldiers by just adding it to an already fully equpped squad
which is why i used AT gunners as an example- 1 AT gunner is a good tool against tanks but there isnt much point to having more(especially since detpacks exist in their current state)
radioman and enginner squads at least have a point because of their squad bonuses
while assaulters(and MG gunners) squads are good because the spacialists that you can have more of are very strong
Rifle upgrades should not require playing with a specific squad. Heavy weapons upgrade and increasing max levels for a soldier class probably should require playing with that squad.
This is already better my point is specific weapon can be locked upgrade behind some squad, like hig-end smg or selective-fire rifle, heavy weapons but for normal weapon is only stressful, well the whole squad tier is stupid hope they rework this
I particularly agree on rifles, I can’t remember which squad I need to upgrade for each different rifle (not sniper), because it’s not like there’s a direct association with their respective squad using that specific weapon and no other squad using it.
Also, it kind of annoys me how there’s a weird distinction and difference in progress trees between different tiers of soldiers, like assault 1 and assault 2 or 3.
I don’t like that soldier tier system.
do you want to know something funny the shotgun in the moscow campaign needs the assaulters 2 to be upgraded and is obtained after the ppd34 / 38 box
some weapons like the winchester don’t have a squad required for upgrades, if semi-auto (no fire selector), and bolt-action were that, it would be far better, especially for new players
I think the system is fine as is. I don’t want people to be able to get maxed-star FG42, MG42, STG 44, etc by using the same squads they always do. The system encourages people to branch out and use different squads.
Also AT squad is quite useful, so is the radio squad. Smoke arty is extremely effective.
even if i thought the same that its a bit of BS in a way in the beginning i then later realized now that the progress will go to fast if not and that there will be lesser to do. I like it now that you need to fix some squads to progress in certain types of weapon specialization asw as their personal abilities needs to be trained to get them in shape for the special molded squads youre building. Or else you would get stuck in the same squad whole campaign long even if i do miss my old specialized sniper squad
How ever i do now have one cqc flank recon team (T3s) with engineer and smg and one Sniper Team with radioman and AT for different assignments which is neat
What exactly do you mean by “useless”. I think you should be rewarded for using other squads. I can agree with you, that the placement of weapons upgrades should be different (M1 Garand should probably be a rifleman squad upgrade); but I don’t think you should be able to upgrade every weapon while most of your squads are still level 1.
