So far I love the new Machine guns and having engineers in old MG premium squads in nice!
However, there are still some fundamental issues that need to be resolved.
Firstly and most importantly, there needs to be another way of grinding, this is coming from someone who has basically maxed everything out and spent more money than they’d like to admit. The current system is too unfriendly and slow for new players or even ftp players in general, meaning often many people quit early on after discovering the game. I would propose simply copying War Thunder’s approach, having multiple options to research, as at least then players can choose what they want.
Secondly, the cost of premiums is too much. Again, I love this game and I want to support it, but over £50 for a tank is just too much at this point. I understand that it may be Gaijin pulling the strings here but locking something as well-known / infamous as the Jagdpanther behind a £50 paywall is really not okay.
Thirdly, the player division issue. Although I understand it is too late to combine the campaigns at this point, I feel that there should be no more, and instead you should maps or different aspects to the current 6. For instance, you could add Kursk to Stalingrad (like how Seelow was added to Berlin). The other point is to increase wait times, as I feel me and most others would rather wait a few mins longer to get a full game of people, rather than just have bot teams as this is boring.
Again, I love this game and want it to succeed, but until these things are done I am really concerned for this game’s health.
Reducing lengthy soldier customization options may looks better.
But still, you should let players able to select soldier’s webbings (like belt/bag) in sub menus.
The addition of engineers to old premium squads is a huge step forward! That is a big improvement in this update. Hopefully, this change can be added to other premium squads in the future.
I love the new update.
Great game just getting greater.
I noticed the new ricochet bullets…
When I fly and strafe the infantry, I see buttets flying everywhere.
First I mistook that for enemy fire and opened up on it…
Turns out Im shooting at my own bullets LOL
When you showed off the customization update I really liked the backgrounds you gave for the soldiers. I have suggested more immersive backgrounds in the post I linked below. Would it be possible to put these in game to replace the void we currently have?
A small problem, I hope to add options that can change these two shortcuts. Sometimes they are not easy to use. For example, when the shortcut to open the menu is any letter, I won’t have extra fingers to click them.
And the option to send quick messages in this menu has been removed. Only one of my Alt keys is on the left hand side, which has killed my other fingers by switching Q and E. I can only take care of one of the two menus now. Please add the quick message back to the disc.
For example, I am controlling my soldiers to run. My middle finger is occupied by the W key and my little finger by the shift key. I can use Q and E to further open the menu. Therefore, I only have my thumb left to open the menu.But there are two menus to open like this, and I can’t open two menus by one key.
I still have reservations about certain things, the Panzer IV F2 is Moscow and the new TDs in Normandy not coming with a dedicated squad for example.
However I cannot overlook some of the positive changes that have been implemented primarily the ability to add engineers to old premiums that’s a fantastic quality of life change and one we’ve been asking for. I hope this trend continues onward with things like for example dedicated premium squad slots
