Expand and triple the preset slots ( due to merge, and customs ) & if possible, improve them

a bit of context:

i’ll start by saying that, i have bought premium because of presets and xps;
image

but as i’m someone who plays all factions, i find my self switching multiple times over and over making and deleting presets all the time.

which becomes a problem for those who like me, plays customs ( with ha squads ) , plays squad ( with arcady squads ) & lone fighter ( mostly diversified in terms of roles ).

and as much it’s not a problem right now, i strongly believe it will be one in the future with the merge.

as, for example, let’s take a look at my squads:

i have exactly 10 presets for germany:

axis presets

Moscow:


Normandy:


Berlin:


Tunisia:


Stalingrad:


and the samewhat less for allies:
( although, i still have to form them. because i only started doing presets recently, which i’m not over yet. but i recognized the issues for those who wants different presets and what not )

my allies presets

Pacific


Normandy:


Tunisia:


( don’t have any russians presets yet. wanted to do some history lesson and then decide what i would like.
as… so far i go " yolo " with them. fit them whaterver i get and can give them and sent them in battle in a disorganized matter )

but, to prove and point out that just 3 presets per campaings aren’t enough.

even less in a full merge where i will find my self playing my averange level, and play with few close friends ( in those rare occasions ).

and since i’m relatively close to grind everything in this game, i would like to have the pleasure of having different presets for mods, and generally, environments.

such as;

  • Afrika Korp

  • Stalingrad HA

  • Moscow HA

  • Normandy HA

  • Berlin HA

  • Tier 1 Squad

  • Tier 2 Squad

  • Tier 3 Squad

  • Tier 4 Squad

  • Tier 5 Squad

  • Lone Fighter A Variation

  • Lone Fighter B Variation

and so on.

we need at least 10 / 12 prets.

so, 6/7 for free to play, and 12 for premium.

otherwise we would have to sunk so much time switching each time ( between arcade and HA ) to even keep in mind BR of weapons, what weapons, and so on so on.

therefore,

Main Suggestion

today main suggestions are few;

- Expand slots for when the merge will come up to 12 for players, and 6 for free to play players

( even though, i find it somewhat dumb. because in war thunder, you can have up to 18 presents and not even have to pay a dime for it )

same goes for individual soldier presets.

countless to say that aren’t simply enough.

because for me, i have variations for each classes of each two soldiers based on weapon.
( so if i count, i would have something like, 20 soldiers presets )

and, the followings are improvements that i would like to see:

save appearance, soldiers & equipment in each presets too

as much i’m " fine " with the presets that only saves squads, i’m less fine with the fact that i have to switch appearance and equipment everytime i switch. ( which, sure, that’s the point of soldiers presets… .but those do not save appearance. or the soldier in question nor the position )

and, perhaps, tell me that some weapons have been replaced or soldiers because those were either sold, retired or, simply has been moved in other squads / presets.

Make Presets selectable during custom games

it hurts my neural system each time having to leave, click the squads tab, hover over the presets, apply it, exit, open the gamemode section again, select customs, find the room and in the meanwhile the room has either started or it’s full by the time i switched.

when in reality, it should be relatively easy and one option should be there on the right or anywhere.

in conclusion

but yeah, i would like more presets as i’m someone who loves to play around each theater.
( let alone i’m a map/modder maker so… i usually go in almost every part of enlisted… when the outdated customs will allow me to upload my forsaken pves mods. that is )

and yes, technically, there won’t be any stalingrad/berlin/normandy selection with the merge.
but, again, that’s for those who wish to use those ( primarily for customs. more than anything i doubt there will be any other fools other than me running around with HA squads in the base game at high tiers ).

but that’s about it. thanks for hearing me out.

Slots are way more important in Enlisted than in War Thunder since you can switch squads at any time as long as you haven’t used the same squad twice in quick succession.

It’s possible to play as same squad multiple times in a same match (which is an impossibility in WT) so leaving it at only 4 for f2p and 6 for premium players is def not enough, just as you suggested 6 should be minimum acceptable and playable for f2p and maximum 12 for premium players.

With just 4 slots you can’t react to the enemies, you can’t spawn a plane (if your tank just got destroyed by enemy tank and you have just single vehicle slot), you can’t breach the stalemate if you don’t have flamethrowers equipped into your lineup, you can’t have multiple assaulter squads at same time, you can’t have multiple engineer squads at same time, you can’t add radioman or sniper or mortar squad since they are way less important than assaulters, engineers and machinegunners (and rifleman for Axis with FG 42/II) which result in game feeling the same every match.

There also should be free slots for every event and premium squad since let’s be honest nobody has enough space to fit them into their lineup after the merge update.

i’m afraid you missed the point of the suggestion.

i’m not asking to triple the slots of active squads.

but the preset slots to save squads.

Both should be increased i stopped caring about preset slots when we got so few of them.

eh…

i have mixed feelings about that.

perhaps one or two slots for free to players would benefit everyone,

but we shouldn’t increase the cap of premium ones.
otherwise it becomes to flexible.

i’d argue, the current limit ( for premium ) is fine.

a sublime suggestion
