this come to a frustration of mine and sometimes by the… rather awefull and limited UI that we’ve got.
so today i come with a suggestion to would like to see the implementation of the ability to buy additional slots in all kinds regarding the improvement of QOL ability to change things on the fly.
TLDR:
Let players be able to buy more Soldiers, Squads and loadout presets with:
15k or 50k Silvers Coins / 10 Squad change orders - For 1 Additional Squads Preset Slot
15k to 20k Silvers Coins / 5 Squad change orders - For 1 Additional Soldiers Equipment Preset
5k to 10k Silvers Coins / 3 Squad change orders - For 1 Additional Soldiers Perk Slot
prices are up to devs, more of a proof of concept.
- Yes
- No
why?
i’ll explain why:
Let players the Ability to buy More Squad presets
in the callisto server ever since the Burma update, ( and maybe prior ),
Players have way more presets than in the base game:
( callisto )
( live version )
it kinda pisses me off that even when i had premium, i still didn’t had enough presets slots to run all combo that i wanted.
granted. not all players after the merge can fill 10 slots.
but for those like me that can, i don’t see why we shouldn’t.
and if you wanted to ask, as a modder my self with well over 120 squads, i would like to use all of them in few manners:
Let’s take few examples. the US and Germany:
i was able to do for germany:
- 1 dedicated preset line for the italians
- 1 dedicated preset line for Normandy
- another for Tunisia
- one dedicated for Stalingrad
- another for battle of the bulge
- another for Moscow
- another for Rzhev ( and no. unlike Enlisted claims, those battles were not similar )
- Full Luftwaffe Preset
- Full Mechanized Preset
- Full Volkssturm Preset
… which i’m still missing the ability to make a dedicated grenadier preset, another for kursk, another for italy, another with events only squad and on and on and on.
Let’s take another example.
The US.
which have to share british and US forces.
i’m not opposed, but it becomes frustrating as they take all of the slots we have.
so i was only able to do 10 of the 16 presets i had in mind.
but, i understand this may not be for everyone. so moving on:
Let players the Ability to buy More Equipment Presets
on the other hand, more relatable frustrations;
there are not enough Slots for me to fill equipments:
we have 10 slots.
which I, was locked because i could only issue so many guns.
6 for riflemen, ( considering for example, us and uk having different weapons. Semi autos, Bolt actions rifles, Sf rifles )
4 for grenadiers ( combo of different grenades )
which i’m still missing: Assaulters ( both low br and high br ) Flametroopers ( BA and semi ) Machinegunners ( high and low br ) Snipers, Engineers with their dedicated backpack, Tankers and on and on.
Simply put, 10 slots even with premiums aren’t enough for well over these amount of classes WE have:
and while i haven’t used them all, it doesn’t take a genius to put 2 with 2 and realize that there aren’t enough slots for all factions. especially those that shares sub-nations equipment within them.
so outside of japan which it’s more or less manageable to me, i haven’t used it anywhere else.
same goes for:
Let players the Ability to buy more Perks Presets
i’m not sure how from 10 for each of the previous categories, we somehow went lower and only allowed 4:
needless to say i never used this function because with how limited it is, i can only see it’s use for one class.
because just to name a few:
-
tankers needs 6 perks slots
( Driver, gunner, loader, Commander and Replacements for both the loader and gunner ( which mine usually seats in the machinegunner )
but of course, most people have their perks differently. -
riflemen usually have 5 perks
( Grenadier - Bolt action Perks - Semi auto perks - Vitality - “Runner” - Weapon specialists )
which for explain a little bit deeper,
Grenadiers are specialists that uses greade and are usually faster
Bolt action perks are different from semi auto perks.
and on and on.
Which are different sets of perks for different type of situation dictated by the equipment.
while it doesn’t have the problem of subnation, you’re still forced with a rather lackluster and limited selection.
so i would like the ability to increase these.
again, maybe not for everyone, but QOL literally hurts no one.
and that is all from my suggestion.
