Custom Squads

[White Dot]

I've always thought that it would be a good idea to have custom squads as a reward unit where you create a infantry squad to replace either your factions primary squad, American riflemen, PE panzer grenadiers, or one of your factions reward squads, American rangers/airborne for ex.
Anyways the devs would decide a good amount of points to grant you to purchase individual soldiers and additional points you spend on weapons, ex: 1pt=pistol.  This way they could keep it balanced and not let it get out of control.

Sounds pretty stuiped to me, but I like your thinking.

... I talked about this with Dragon some time ago(it's his idea after all) ... Stay tuned .

[GodlikeDennis]

This is actually being considered? Really...?

[Blackbishop]

Not in the way you might imagine... but something like that can happen... or not. The time will tell.

Its a nice idea if this game was originally designed for this. Unfortunately this game isn't based on the idea of customizing your troops, so i find that we might have a few problems in creating such a system. I hope the system our friends on the Eastern front are developing will indeed be something to marvel at if its made.

[Blackbishop]

I don't know if that is possible, everyone should have the same customized troops to work. Hence the units that can be done should be defined. As reward units.

In the end EF team will be the one whom put the units, so don't expect unbalanced units or "über units" if that idea makes it's way...

Impossible , if you made a unit with 5 LMG's not only would it be unbalanced but imaginary to other players , there is no way other players can see a unit since YOU are the one who made it on your comp. Its like the Skin bug where you can have different skins but only you see them.

Or we could add a squad following the US Fireteam Locatisation... such as:

US:

1 M1 Thompson, 1 BAR, 1 M1 Rifle Greande Garand, 1 M1 Carbine/Garand

UK: 1 Sten, 1 Bren, 1 Lee-Enf rifl. Greande, 1 Lee-Enf.

USSR: 1 PPSh-41, 1 DP-28, 1 Mosin-Rifle greande, 1 SVT-40/Mosin

Germans: 1 MP-40, 1 MG-42, 1 Kar rifle greande, 1 G43/Kar98k

[Seeme]

Rifles of the world!

[Akalonor]

still impossible.
every player would have to download everyones unit every time someone makes one. it just wont work.

[GodlikeDennis]

Not necessarily.

You could have an 'armoury' tab or something where you can adapt your rifle section with whatever preset weaponry are provided, change health etc.

Still don't like this idea at all though.

still impossible.

i dont think so, when someone change their reward unit you dont need to download it, its about things which are available to choose from, so everyone can have their own unit but from redefined weapons...

[Akalonor]

Reward units arent creating a brand new unit , its just activating them like an ability . Everyone has these reward units installed already , ToV just activates them , search your files and youll see what I mean

[GamblerSK]

yes and thats the same, those custom squads will be available in a patch which everyone will have if they want be up to date...
