i dont like how i need to grind every single thing in the campaign:
german campaign on normandy - MP34 is my weapon of choice and there is FNAB submachinegun in the battle pass too, i dont like the fnab very much - it comes useful on a bit longer distances, but for that i’ve got another workaround (by giving assaulters a second weapon - a bolt action rifle) while the submachinegun still proved well on the battlefield and its a welcome gift i dont think i would grind it if i didnt need to
if we added an extensive tech tree players would find their meta and grind just one thing, skipping much of game experience, so i dont see that as an option, but adding short dead branches to the campaign might be another thing
a little sketch i made (i suck at drawing)
so - the 1, 2 and 3 (the middle line) is our campaign we need to go through, the 1* and 2* are optional weapons with modification or another version of weapon (grenate launcher? MP-38 and MP-40?) while i think fnab submachinegun shouldnt be in the serperate branch it would surely be possible for at least other weapons and vehicles to be sorted like that
