Hard Lock British and Italians

On the test server we have seen Brits fighting in the Pacific and Italians fighting in Normandy. Now Britain did fight in the Pacific war, but obviously at their own specific battles. The Pacific campaign was meant to cover the whole entire theatre from beginning to end and eventually we would’ve gotten maps like say Iwo Jima.

If America and Britain are stuck together now, you will see Brits on Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Peleliu, and so many other battles. I don’t know about you but that would ruin the atmosphere

I say all British must be hard locked to Normandy and Tunisia, and Italy must be hard locked to Stalingrad and Tunisia. Italy may have helped fight on the Eastern Front, but they certainly weren’t fighting at Moscow. At the moment Stalingrad is the only battle they took place in.

I would rather put up with Americans and Brits fighting shoulder to shoulder on D-Day (even though they had their own particular battles)……for now….than see Brits storming the beaches of Iwo Jima. I will just say that I am an advocate for Britain being an independent faction. For now I would rather have America and Britain serving together in Tunisia and Normandy than in the Pacific

Don’t quote me on it, but I think they did say that Brits and Italians would eventually be made into their own factions.

On that note, I’d also love to see Sicily and Burma added into the game some day.

I agree completely. It sort of undermines the “factions stay locked to maps” rule, since if that’s true, why are there British soldiers on Guadalcanal?

We should also have all 4 beach landing maps eventually. Then you can have Sword and Juno for the Commonwealth factions.

For one, there is plenty of equipment to fill both British and Italian tech trees, even if they aren’t as extensive as say the German one.

I agree fully.

They cant “hard lock” British and Italians to wrong fronts and what comes to the tech tree it really does not need to be balanced at all.

With Tunisia or some maps it will be easy, just have certain amount of slots for people playing with Italy and certain amount of slots for Germans and same with the allies.

Just look at War Thunder and how they began with Italians having much less planes, most of the planes were less effective especially in the beginning when you started with them etc.

I did not mind it at all, still picked Italians to fly with because I did not want to go down to the road of “Play some major state and thats it”

This game is dealing with major design error that has crippled its growth, yet I am 100% confident that the developers team can fix that. They have fixed serious issue before as long as they stay united and hard at work they can overcome anything.

Each nation to its own tech tree and thats it!

Sure, some nations have less weapons than others… SO WHAT? To me that has never been a problem in any of the Gajjin games and that can be fixed with some research and there is always something to add.

You research some rare smaller nation fully? Great, you can try another one… Its like a candy basket and you dont run out of content that easily.

Once each nation is on its own tech tree everything will become easier and it unlocks such a GIANT amount of further development potential and growth potential that I am not even worried about the process.

If at any point they add Finland I dont even care if the tech tree is way smaller I will be playing that non-stop and establish myself there.

Also if they ever add continuous war to this game they can use the method previously explained and have 3 slots for Germans and 6 slots for Finns (For example) VS. USSR on some battles etc.

The potential of this game is absolutely INSANE and it will be finally unlocked once the factions are separated and campaigns united.

I do not envy the developers work on this one… Must be A LOT of work but I have full faith on this. They can do this and it will be great.

I actually like it that there are massive differences between tech trees and hopefully in the future there are enough players that smaller WWII countries will be added there too, with corresponding maps as well such as France and Poland on to their own places.

I am just happy that they are finally separating these based on country/ faction instead of bulky campaigns.

It makes EVERYTHING much easier and totally unlocks all the future development as well as practically ENDLESS amount of warfare from the WWII to be added to the game making it extremely deep and interesting.

This transformation period will be hard for everyone though, yet it is worth it.

Whatever next nation is at some point as a new nation, no matter how small and limited tech tree I will take it and play it to the death…

What comes to balance I have played this game for years now and I just slaughtered a sh…tton of other players with relatively basic bolt-lock action rifles so, for the most part it is about skill. Sure firepower helps, yet with artillery and planes and all that being present constantly anyway the difference is not that crazy.

Everyone would want to play Finland.

Italy joined Germany in the invasion of the USSR sending over 5 divisions of their own.

Battle of Moscow isnt about Moscow itself, its a hotpot of Russian looking towns during operation barbarossa so Italy being there is not any different from the monastery map existing.

Britsh troops fought alongside the americans in the pacific countless times such as in Guadalcanal (where most pacific maps are based) Burma…

So not only are these factions okay to be at the places they are but you literally could have found out this by a single search though you decided to whine instead

Once again these countries will turn into their own countries when they get more equipment to complement their enemies.

I know that Britain contributed in their own Pacific sectors and there were some joint operations. Duh. That wasn’t my point

I think you didn’t get my point. My point is that for the Pacific War as it was first implemented it was clearly intended to cover the whole war and eventually we’d get Iwo Jima, Philippines, and Okinawa to name a few. Many of these Pacific battles were basically entirely American.

If the game’s current system continued without this major overhaul, the campaign would’ve remained entirely American, with the occasional Australian Premium or Event squad like we have now.

I am saying that I would rather have America solo the Pacific than have Britain attached to them because it would eventually lead to having Brits storming the beaches of Iwo Jima and Peleliu. Campaigns don’t cover specific battles it’s all just in general, like in Normandy some maps are from the British sectors. Yes Britain did have their own battles, but it would come at the cost of having them show up where they clearly shouldn’t. Because for the near future Britain won’t be a stand alone faction

And I would say Britain working together with America played a a much bigger part in Europe than in the Pacific. I would like an independent British faction for Europe, but for the major update I would rather deal with America and Brits together in Europe than in the Pacific
