I believe it was purposed before the tech tree merge update, which means months ago. Did the dev abandon it or something else?
it wasn’t implemented
This is unknown. They don’t use it now.
it was tested in one of the previous test servers. ( roughly, 4 to 5 months ago )
but wasn’t implemented / pursued further due to being unpopular among players and considered " pay to win " as premium squads would have become a workaround for those limitations.
in my personal opinion, really a shame.
i think it would have improved lots of things, but i mean, i ain’t in charge so.
however, would be great if we could get a similar system to apply to mods if people desire to have it at least there.
most likely wont come there either.
Yes, this idea was thankfully abandoned. But it is no surprise, since it was extremely unpopular.
This agenda was basically pushed by a few people who naively thought it would solve many problems that Enlisted has. (Which it wouldn’t, it would just extremely restrict everyone’s freedom. And most likely drastically reduce active playerbase)
This system would have been exploitable, sure you can only bring 2 assaulter squads, but Soviet paratroopers can equip 6 SMG/AR, assault engineers squad with 6 AR or just use medic squad.
It only would have stopped toxic aircraft spammers which would have been worth it for me personally , but the rest of the community is not a fan if the idea.
it would havent even stopped aircraft spammers, remenber there is fighters and bombers as 2 different type of aircraft so yeah if they only could use 1 of each they would only require to quickly dispatch a inf/tank squad to get killed faster so they can keep cycling unless u know whale moment then they can do it freely
