Soldier Equipment Loadouts

I’d like to suggest the addition of customizable loadout presets, in order to further streamline the logistics of squad management.

Currently, it an be a nightmare trying to keep a squad equipped as desired, especially when you throw three “classes” for the same role into the mix and can’t auto-swap between them. Let us build loadouts, and when we apply them it only applies what it can depending on equipment inventory/soldier class.

Loadout has M1 Garand? Pull from best of that weapon available, leave slot empty/default weapon if unavailable. Loadout has secondary but soldier class hasn’t unlocked that yet? Leave it in inventory and the slot empty.

Alternatively, do away entirely with “Soldier” II and III classes, and just make those unlocks add new points to the respective trees. For the unique perks for those classes, just let us pick between them for each soldier. Wham bam, logistics simplified.

So something similar to cod?

I guess it would be similar, but not nearly as deep. I’m not looking for weapon customization, just “here’s a loadout I’d like to use for a lot of my troops, it’d be neat if I didn’t have to rebuild it every time I swapped in a trooper 2 for a trooper 1 or unlocked a slot for a new troop type.”

Ah well maybe just make it so the trooper class can swap equipment out no matter if it’s trooper 1 to trooper 2 or the other way around

That shouldn’t be that hard, honestly. Right now, they don’t do it I assume because you might have unlocked the backpack slot on one squad and the secondary slot on the other, but how hard is it really to just, not fill that slot on a changeover?

Loadouts as I’ve suggested solve that problem, and the next problem of having to fix the thing if you switch back to a different class.
