Here is a list of updates that would help a significant amount to keeping players and matches.
Soldier equipment selection:
This is a simple suggestion that might help smooth things along for equipping soldiers. Using the “best for tier x” option in presets. Currently when auto equipping it won’t choose backpacks or ammo pouches.
My suggestion is to let the players select a default ammo pouch, grenade pouch or backpack so it may automatically apply when the auto equip option is pressed.
I find it irritating to have to put large grenade pouches and large backpacks on then having to switch to the preset in the case of large backpacks so I can get med kits in all 4 slots. The same can be said for grenade pouches.
Tech tree:
Remove the stars from equipment and replace it with the BR of the piece of equipment within the tree. This would help ease players switching through various menus to find out what BR a weapon is at when they could simply look at the tech tree.
The stars would still be viewable when looking at the weapon itself, and in all the other menus that the stars are present.
Speaking of stars …
Auto equip star items:
Many players prefer not to equip certain items just because they have higher amount of stars. What if I don’t want that pistol caliber carbine that’s 4 stars at BR I when I’m setting up for a BR III match? There are many weapons at higher BR that start with three stars And when auto equipping it always places something like said pistol caliber carbine of a lower BR in place of a weapon for that BR.
This is a simple suggestion, remove the star system from auto equipping logic and replace it with a system that looks for automatically equipping at your selected BR. Only allowing items at that battle rating and preferring to choose the most upgraded piece of equipment from that rating.
