Hey Enlisted squad,
I’ve been playing a ton and honestly, one thing that keeps bugging me (in a good way, because it sparked an idea!) is how we manage our squads. With all the cool new soldiers and tanks they keep adding, doesn’t it feel like we’re always wrestling with our slots, trying to squeeze in that one extra specialist we really need?
So, I’ve been cooking up a concept for a way bigger, smarter 20-slot system that I think could totally change how we play for the better. Imagine having enough room to really build the army you want, without constantly compromising.
Here’s the gist of what I’m picturing:
- Starting Point: When you first jump into the game, you’d have 4 active squad slots right off the bat. Solid start, right?
- Growing Your Army: Then, as you play and progress, you could unlock or buy 13 more slots. That’s a lot of room to play with and really build out your different setups!
- Premium Perks: And for those with a Premium account, an additional 3 slots would be a sweet bonus, bumping them up to a grand total of 20. It’d be a nice little perk that really makes a difference.
But here’s the kicker – the part that I think would truly make gameplay chef’s kiss (if you know what I mean):
- Specialized Slots for Every Class: What if 17 of those 20 slots were specifically designated for one distinct type of soldier class? Think about it – dedicated slots for your Assault squads, your crucial Engineers, those terrifying Flametroopers, Radio Operators, Medics, Mortarmen, Snipers… and then your vehicle slots too! This means you could literally bring almost every specialized unit type you own into battle, without having to choose between your favorite AT gunner and that essential radioman.
Why I honestly believe this would be a game-changer for all of us:
- Deep, Deep Strategy: We could finally build incredibly diverse armies. No more feeling like you have to sacrifice a vital role because you only have so much space. Want a dedicated anti-tank team, an aggressive flamethrower squad, and a spotter? Done.
- Every Soldier Gets Their Moment: Every single soldier class, even the ones we sometimes overlook like Medics, would have a clear, important place. This would seriously encourage us to try out and master every unit type, making the game feel so much richer.
- Clear Progression, Real Value: It gives new players a clear path to grow their capabilities, rewards the folks who stick with the game, and makes Premium feel like an even better deal.
- Way More Dynamic Battles: Can you imagine battles where both teams can field such a wide range of specialists? It would make every engagement so much more varied, intense, and tactical.
I know this is a big idea and would probably need a lot of tweaking, but I genuinely think the benefits for player choice and strategic depth would be absolutely massive.
So, what do you all think? Is this something you’d be hyped to see in Enlisted? How would you use all those extra slots? Let’s get a discussion going!
