Allow all TT vehicle squads use all vehicles of their category

All tech tree tank squads should be able to use all TT tanks.
All tech tree attacker plane squads should be able to use all TT attacker planes.
All tech tree fighter plane squads should be able to use all TT fighter planes.

Currently its very annoying to try to build clean BR presets for the different factions without this ability, as you might only have 1 plane squad that is able to operate both BR 2 and BR 3 planes. Meanwhile your BR I squad is completely unused.

I really dont see any downsides to this.

The only downsides to this is the fact people can cycle squads, however thats something veteran players can do already and the very very simple solution is just to make it so you cant use the same type of vehicle squad twice.

I honestly don’t see that as an issue. :slightly_smiling_face:

Veterans can already do it, premiums allow you to do it.

And if someone already wants to cycle with the current squads, they can it’s just not as optimal as it would be in this case.

In general I see much bigger issue in the game with a lot of equipment being too situational to waste a squad slot on since you don’t know the map / theater you will be in (think of casemate TDs in urban maps for instance).

We should actually be thinking about how to allow players to bring more equipment into the matches, not less.

Thank you for your post.

Couldnt agree more.

I dont know how any fool could vote against this.

Most players as stated can only use one vehicle at a time anyway and it makes you use infantry. Premiums (also as stated) can already cycle vehicles so that’s a separate issue.

I remember having lots of XP for an Allied machine gun squad from Pacific, but was forced to grind a separate machine gun squad JUST TO GET BRITISH UNIFORMS ON THE SOLDIERS

Enlisted is so dumb and annoying.

Even worse is upgrades where you need to grind some useless squad just to get upgrades for a random weapon or tank.

Maybe it needs a separate post but I think use of individual weapons should determine XP/upgrades, not attaching them to random squads.

So you unlock it (which may have a squad with it) but after that any time you use that weapon, you get XP for upgrades of said weapon.

This would go really well with score requirement for the vehicles.

This is one of those things that shouldn’t have been kept after the old campaign system was scrapped. It’s just extra confusion for new players, and a lot of game filler that could be simplified. The old squad system must go.

I was going to write a suggestion on this topic… did my due diligence in looking to see if someone else beat me to it. I see I voted on this previously (just never left a like).

I feel like this is a must-have solution to… well, quite a lot of problems, really.

It’s so annoying and repetative, having to have the same conversation over and over again whenever a new tech tree or event vehicle is added…

“What squad is this for…?”

“Where do I find the upgrades?”

“I can’t find this new vehicle, where is it?”

“That’s a vehicle from [X country], it should be available in the same nationality of squad.”

It’s quite tiresome, really… not just having to see people ask the same question, everytime there’s a new vehicle, but also seeing the devs entierly fail with the implementation of them, too…

Oh, look, a new US aircraft!

But it’s only available in a British squad for some dumb reason.

Oh, look, a new British Jetfighter!

Only available in a US squad…

Many, many more cases like this… you can’t even bring any low-tier Shermans inside of US squads unless you were a pre-merge player! You can’t even bring the Sherman 105 inside of any squad but the tech tree British one!

I mean, when the Churchill Mk VII was added, it was a surprising lapse of judgement to initially only give it to a American squad…

The solution…? Let the upgrades stay with the American squad, but at least now we can use it in the only post-merge British one…

@Euthymia07-live Please forward this suggestion… we need a permanent solution to this whole situation.

It’s not just unreasonable that we have to double-check the devs homework with each and every new addition, it’s unreasonable to have to create a individual suggestion for each and every vehicle in-game that isn’t inside of a appropriate squad if we want to have them fixed…

Instead of having to do this exact same song and dance over and over again, lets just decouple vehicles from fixed vehicle squads…

Please…?

Since you can play Assaulter 4s in BR1…it makes no sense that vehicles are locked to a squad…except for the fact you could have 4 versions of a Tiger II and roll 3 into battle with a 3 Tanker squads.
They just need a better way to list all vehicles along with skins and camos…I forget most of what I have.

Well, you only need three of anything to effectively cycle.

But, neither I or OP are asking for people to be able to buy multiple copies of the same vehicle… at least, that’s what I’m assuming. Simply that with the single copy you own of every vehicle, you should be able to place it anywhere.

True…I think the intention of the way they did it was to naturally deter that and force you to buy Premium if you wanted to spam vehicles. With all of the rearranging of the BRs it has really made a mess of it so they really need to clean it up.
They should also institue a mandatory soldier squad selection so you can’t spam vehicles…it’s an Infantry based game after all…more so on upper tiers as well coordinated tanks can reek havoc on the bf.

Well I really doubt they will do it I asked about this like 1000 times:

Remove The Stupid Vehicle Squad Restriction for TT Vehicles :wheel: - Suggestions / Other - Enlisted — official forum

Remove Vehicle Squad Restriction - Archive / Suggestions - Archive - Enlisted — official forum

So you can guess how its gonna go … xD

But its good more people demand change since really limiting specially for Japan to have so many good planes and I cant combine them …

And unless you were a pre-merge player.

Optimal vehicle cycling is currently a P2W and/or veteran privilage.

It’s honestly not even that good, that’s one less guy playing the objective, vehicle cycling is a double edged sword.

You would still be limited by also needing to own the vehicles aswell. So at most you still could only use 1 tiger 2 (H) and 1 tiger 2(P) since the new skins no longer counted as seperate vehicles anymore and as such cant be equiped to an additional squad.

Correct. Not multiple copies of the same vehicle, just allow me to put any TT vehicle into any non-premium squad of the same category (tank, attacker, bomber).

Currently due to the nonsensical restrictions, you are hard blocked from using some low BR vehicles as they are locked in the same squad with the high BR ones. So you have to choose which preset you want to have that squad in - while you have squads with no vehicles sitting around.

It just makes no damn sense - and I say this as a pre-merge player already playing the easy mode here with all the extra squads.

I don’t see a issue with this, but if they really have to solve vehicle cycling put a 2 vehicle limit of the same type. It’s really pointless to limit a tanker III Squad to BR IV/V since they are stuck with better tanks for example. Same can be said of any plane squads.

Just let us use any squad with any vehicle, class restrictions still in place so a tanker can’t take a plane etc. All tanker squads can use all tanks, all fighter squads can use all fighter planes, etc.
