That didn’t offend anyone, because they were just virtual soldiers in the game, but if you think they should be respected, I’m sorry.

I didn’t think it was inappropriate that you were unhappy with the characters in the game.
I just thought it was inappropriate to cite handicapped people to describe something bad.

Its already one of the worst playerbases I have ever seen with more subnormal players than a normal or average one. Not surprised with people that never played War Thunder knowing it’s also notorious on greeting new players with an insane grind plus seal clubbers. Reminds me of how I always pick squad leader as North Vietnamese in Rising Storm 2 so I could build tunnels which work like rally points in this game as its annoying to deal with squad leaders not building one.
Reason why I brought up rally points is that would decide the entire match not tanks but like you said too many don’t know how to build them or worse build them in stupid places like high floors or stuffed with barbed wire around.
This happens on other games too but new players and casuals that get crushed either learn about the game the hard way or uninstall the game entirely. The harsh reality of hazing such players. Not my job to make sure they don’t suffer and have a similar mindset on some other similar players too but I’m not against economy changes that make the grind easier just don’t introduce repair costs or ammunition that cost silver lions.

That’s if we can equip the same weapon to different presets.
Let’s say I want my hero Vasily Zaitsev to be in every squads preset (or whatever it’s called for different BRs)
In early war BR I will want him with a sniper Mosin, explosive pack and TT, in mid war with sniper Mosin, hand grenade and Luger, in late war with sniper AVS, explosive pack and Luger.
For this I’ll need 1 sniper Mosin, 1 explosive pack and 1 TT in my inventory as I’d expect?
Or as Keo once speculated weapons can’t be shared so you’ll need to have duplicates for all presets/BR squads?

Exactly my thought. Why I was surprised.
That’s a perfect example of how crude the current preset system is.
Today one soldier is locked to one specific squad. Also one squad is locked to its current soldiers. It’s a fixed match.
Same goes for equipment. One specific weapon in your inventory is locked to one specific soldier and that soldier is locked to that primary weapon (and any equipment attached to him).
Should be more flexible than that!
Alongside your example of your Hero soldier:
Let’s say I want a specific squad(s) in different presets with different load-outs. Today it’s not possible
For example: I want to use two assualter squads in a “Low-BR setup” for JPN, equipping them with S1-100 and Type 100 (early).
But I also would like to use these two assaulter squads in a “High-BR setup”. Today I would have to stick with S1-100 and Type 100(early) instead of preferably giving them SiG and Type 100 (late).
I would’ve to manually change this every time I switch between presets. Which is tedious and not very convenient.

Anyway i read a lot of post calling out the end of the world or picking out of the hat “perfect” solution for save the conversion yada,yada… Anyway wait the test server
for touch with our hand the silver-order conversion and silver XP ratio, before give solution/doom calling/feedback is overreted
@Myrm1don
They said something similiar in an old news, the soldier and equipment be selled always with the minium number of star (no more lootbox upgrade) and the new soldier recruited get standard stats based on their class

This system seems convoluted, but I guess I’ll just have to see when it arrives. At least things will be more streamlined.
Also, Germany going from 5 armies to 3 is pretty lame, especially if they can’t be suited to the environment they’re fighting in. It is what it is I guess
Yeah I been Searching through all the old posts and comments to find it. But haven’t come up with it yet.
My memory rarely fails me but I’m not ruling it out that I’ve got wires crossed…I just cant find it
Shill harder
yea but here my question tho how are we gonna upgrade those soldier? im pretty pessimistic about that so there is no way it gonna be “free upgrade” there gotta be some sort of catch i assume it got to do with unlocking soldier rank i guess
DF makes hand over fist in premiums and gold coins, theres no reason to trust them not messing up a good thing and theyve done it plenty so far. realistic gore? gone. Historical accuracy? gone. A user interface that actually feels like ww2 and not like it was lifted from ARMA? gone. the ability to use AA guns against infantry? gone. That aside the game still has numerous bugs some still around from day one and youre all incredibly desperate for them to tamper with something as important as the leveling and game economy? All for what? to grind slightly less? frankly I started to lose interest when they unveiled the new leveling system, and now youre telling me instead of grinding and being rewarded with for example a ha-go in the early japan campaign, now its just going to be cheap squads with automatic weapons all maxed out thanks to the new economy (be real, its the first thing people are going to do) but unlocking a vehicle will be MORE grindy? if you let this fan base choose what it wants to unlock I can guarantee this is going to become the spammiest, most unbalanced game fresh out of the gates. at least with the stat system and the two currencies it kept spammy and high level players in-check for a while and gave you a sense of accomplishment when you finally put together a functioning and winning squad.

ok so i already ask this question but im gonna ask again since it a reply to someone anyway so what the catch with the “free upgrade” for soldier surely it cant be that easy to just press upgrade and BOOM you upgrade is there gonna be like “you cant upgrade cause havent unlock rank” like in current game? or is there something else im pretty pessimistic about this other than that idk too much calculation for me rn also can we bump the bronze order conversion rate by a little bit? like +100 to all bronze i mean it wouldnt hurt anyone right?

Bruh, so what’s the point of all this racket about the “saving” merge and that is going to help the game (and us) by gathering more people per match instead of bot matches?
I guess so too.
Still better than having to unlock rank AND pay for individual promotions, though.
Hey guys…
I’ve been thinking about this a lot and…
Turns out new soldiers prices, are really, REALLY bad, especially the higher rank you go because of ONE very important detail…
- soldiers stats will still be randomized.
For now, what happens if you pool a rank 4 soldiers with a single silver, that has the worst possible stats?
You sell it back right away until you get one with decent stats, right?
Now let’s try obtaining a rank 4 soldier with almost perfect stats using 11.5 silver equivalent each times.
Yeah I’m against those new values. They are so much worse because of this.

Just lol. They finished all the changes this month.
IT’s a piece of cake now

I think, there has to be an increase because we are going from essentially 12 factions to 4. But that rate is beyond that and so I agree with you in principle.

Slightly unrelated; but a 1.4 gb update, must be a Making Enlisted a Better Place coming later?
As for this; I’m not sure how I feel. I like the idea of just one currency, but why not just do standard conversions? Why change all the costs around etc etc. If that needs to be done in the future, then it can be done; I just don’t know why we’d bung it on top of the change, complicating it and risking it’s success.
Simply merging the currencies for now would be safer and better, adjusting costs etc later down the line if it’s necessary.
I guess we’ll see from the test server how well it works anyway. Might turn out okay.

I’m mostly thinking of new players. His riflemen will also cost 3x the price… even if there’s no more multiple campaigns, it might be a bit discouraging for him.
Idk. I don’t see those new costs as improvements at all, if only because there’s still GACHA involved…

Yeah, nobody likes that. It was already something for veterens with tons of orders to work for, so I don’t see it as “useless” but the costs to do that are already quite a lot. Making it worse seems a bit pernicious.
Also there are gold order soldiers to consider. They automatically come with the best stats, right? This is another reason for the gacha.
Not sure It’s worth it though. I think gold order soldiers could still be cool if they showed up at the end of matches with their medal showing if they perform well, and they come 5 star so it could be made to still be valuable.
Hopefully this rambling made some sort of sense.
