Hi,
I would prefer a “preferred” map selection system much more flexible than this:
This is too limited, impossible to tell/change my current preferences in a few clicks and does not help telling you what do I actually like or don’t like to play in the next 1-2 matches.
I would expect that the map selection is a best effort style, focusing on matches populated by players and balanced/fun matches rather than trying to meet all my expectations. (Hence preferred.) And based on how many map mode combinations my preferences allow, I’d gain bonus XP if I’m not too picky, just like with Join Any.
Also I’d welcome an interface where I can select the outfit/weapons for multiple BRs for the same squads simultaneously, so my squads can join anything from BR1 - BR3 with matching weapons if I want it so. (I guess this part is the hardest to implement.)
So my preferences split in 3 sections could look like:
#1 - Battle rating / Faction
If I get a battle task with semi-auto kills, apart from the Armaguerra I’d probably change to BR3 like this, with my BR3 soldiers carrying semi-autos which I don’t like much, and only Germans would require weapon changes (bolt action to Armaguerra on BR2):
Changing back or picking a single faction would also be easy.
Also I’d be happy to get back the option to simply select whether I want some matches in the desert or not:
#2 - Battle Theatre / Faction
(The year info is a late night best effort, feel free to correct them. 
)
And then if I have time to play 3 matches and 2 were the same mode, it would be really simple to tell the game to avoid it in the last match with a selection like this:
#3 - Game mode
In #2 and #3 the dislikes are not bans, that would probably make it hard to create populated matches if everything can be simply banned.
All in all,
- with 25+12+5 thumbs up/down for BR/faction, location and game mode, the match maker would be much better informed about my ever changing preferences,
- the newly implemented map ban feature would still be available under the “Detailed map selection” button to avoid maps that I hate
- by allowing to set up the same squad for multiple BRs simultaneously, I’d be available for more queues than before

Now THIS is an approach that makes sense. I’m saving this post.
I will gladly take the armored train from you ^^ I could play it all day long

I totally agree with you, bravo!
Exactly, and players who have paid for the premium account and/or the battle pass will be scammed because they will not receive the corresponding percentage for participating.
I had similar vague idea (BR/Year and game mode preference) but was too lazy to make such nicely put suggestion also with images.

How about instead of punishing people who disconnect because their team does not want to play, you make people WANT to play the game. Implement penalties for not playing the objective or for not building things that help the team. Mainly rally points. Why should I want to stay in a game where players do not do anything and I am being spawn killed?
After some considerations I’m quite sure my original suggestion will be too complicated for the Average Joe (no offense @Conscript_Joe, you’re not average 
), so it could be multiselect for each option:
- BR [1 … 5] prefer / OK / ban
- Factions/side [Soviet / Allies / Jap / Axis + perhaps Allies minor / Axis minor ] prefer / OK / ban
- Battle theatre [Moscow, Tunisia etc] prefer / OK / dislike
with simultaneous squad setups for the different BRs so I can join any of them not just one, and not mixing the fractions x BR x theatre like in my first comment.
- Game mode [Invasion … Armored train] prefer / OK / dislike (+ ?? general prefer Offensive / Defensive regardless of whether invasion or bomb planting, when I’ve defended 3x in a row)
@VivaldiX96: the Armored train was disliked for presentation reasons (to have at least one disliked), I don’t think I dislike any game modes when they work as intended, and not 2 players + 4 sniper newbies vs 2x4 stack.
