Squad nationality idea

One of the problems I have faced while trying to develop a squad is that trying to get a full German squad, for example, is either more costly or impossible. If I wanted a German machine gunner for my German squad, I would have to purchase a machine gunner II (costs more silver). And in some cases; you cannot get any soldiers that are a different nationality e.g. you cannot purchase an American mortar man now.

To counter this (if Britain and Italy were not added as a separate nations), rather than having a centralised shop where the nationality of each soldier is pre-decided, I think the shop for buying soldiers should be moved to the squad menu of each individual squad (or an alternative could be possible). When purchasing a soldier for your chosen squad, the nationality of the soldiers would depend of the nationality of the squad itself. So, if you were to buy a new machine gunner for your German rifle squad; they would be German (even if they are machine gunner I).

I don’t think that having any British soldiers in an American squad, as an example, should be prevented or blocked. There are many players who have mixed nationality squads; either from the old Tunisia campaign or the current system.

I imagine there are many players who don’t have a problem about this, but it is something I would personally like. I would happy receive any feedback on my idea. Thank you.

While I do think that’s good idea a simple fix would be to let us choose before buying soldier what I mean by that simply when buying soldier from shop under every type of soldier would be flags that you can switch to change where the soldier is from for example I want to buy Italian assaulter 3, in the shop the default soldier is German I can change the flag and now default assaulter 3 is Italian and every assualte 3 that I buy now will be Italian if I want to buy German ones I just have to change the flag under the assaulter 3 to German again
