Before you comment, please note this is not a suggestion. Just a discussion and speculation of a possible addition, that’s all.
So I got to thinking about the new levels they add for campaigns in each new update. It was then I got to thinking: How do they plan on implementing squads like medic squads from Stalingrad and Pacific into the other 4 campaigns? Surely they would not add them at like level 40, or delete an older squad and replace it with a medic squad, as they did with Assaulter 1 class in Stalingrad and Pacific.
With that said I thought, what if in the future they replaced the level system with tech trees for squads. But another question came to mind: What would the trees look like? Would it be divided by a squad based tree, where each weapon comes with the squad, or would you want to research the weapons and squads separately?
Hence I thought I would make a post here to see what you guys think.

I have the same thought in mind after playing Gates of Hell. The fact that you can skip some of the trees that you don’t want and unlock it later benefits us veteran players and new players
Heres an example

I think there should be class specific lines ie there’s a line for your nation’s rifles, smgs, machine guns, riflemen etc. You’d get weapon upgrades by researching the weapons trees and soldier upgrades via the soldier trees. I also think that if attachments and soldier perks like backpack slots could be sub sections of the existing weapon or class. So if you researched the M1903 you’d get a branch like how class additions in squads look for rifle grenades, bayonets and scopes, you research the sub section you get to put said grenade scope or bayonet on your M1903s. So if you want to upgrade your starting stuff you can or alternatively you could just b-line towards the stuff you really want. And squad upgrades could go along with the class lines so like if you’re upgrading your assaulter tree you get the improved assaulter classes as well as assaulter squad upgrades.
I suck at photoshop so I can’t show what I’m thinking but basically rifle upgrades are in a rifle tree, assaulter soldier and squad upgrades are in an assaulter tree etc
