An idea for post-warmup vetted units, why not be able to pick and choose from a bevy of different individuals to add to your squad (only one at a time) to add a miniscule increase to stats.

U.S.

Weapons Expert - Adds a Carbine-armed Engineer to the selected squad. If that squad happens to be holding handhend AT, it will have 10% reduced scatter and an additional 10% accuracy.

Corporal - Adds a Garand-armed Rifleman to the selected squad. The squad can cap slightly faster.

Sergeant - Adds a Garand-armed Ranger to the selected squad. The squad's suppression threshold is raised and suppression recovery time reduced.

Lieutenant - Adds a Carbine-armed American Officer to the selected squad. Any Carbines or Garands in the squad will receive .5 long range accuracy, and the squad gains an additional use of 'Grenades' if they are selected.

WM

Training Feldwebel (Training Field Sergeant) - Adds a Volk K98k-armed Grenadier to the selected squad. Squad runs .5 faster.

Unteroffizier (Underofficer/Corporal) - Adds a Grenadier K98k-armed Pioneer to the selected squad. If the squad has Grenades selected, they will be replaced by Incendiary Grenades.

Feldwebel (Field Sergeant) - Adds a Leader MP44-armed Stormtrooper to the selected squad. The squad will receive .5 mid range accuracy when in Light or Negative cover.

Leutant (Lieutenant) - Adds a Volk MP40-armed Officer (reskinned stormtrooper) to the squad, the squad's suppression recovery time will be reduced and the suppression of all weapons in the squad will be increased.

Bit of a quick durrr makeup, costs would ofc have to be balanced. I dunno, just the "little something extra" to give your veteran squads a niche without making them outrageously OP.

are those guys looking like rifleman as an example or do they get officer model and skin?

Please don't encourage him

Ninja Officer
- When purchased to your company, launcher sounds are disabled (the ninja assasinates sound waves)

About the thread: I like the ideas but I doubt it will be put in.

Thx for being constructive guys, really helps the mod progress.

If carefully balanced I could see it working without breaking the current gameplay.

My only issue is, how are you going to know specifically what extra members a squad has? Or will each member be tied to a certain level of veterancy, such as gaining a Corporal at vet 2 (for example)?

[Groundfire]

This could possibly be a warmap idea, where you get a "junior officer" to tie to a particular squad for the stat boosts.

This would lead the higher ranked officers to stay just the way they are in the game.

We are trying to avoid "feature creep" atm because we have so many ideas and only EIRRmod to code them, but ill put this on the list for discussion.

Tbh, there's nothing wrong with getting a big pool of cool ideas as long as they get labelled 'Optional' and the core work continues unhindered.

Just erm, don't completely forget about them. :p

It's not a matter of limiting cool ideas. (every feature we implement makes players pick up our mod that much easier)

It's just a matter of keeping a relatively stable timeline of implementation and one coder to do it all.


All of these little ideas that help you customize your army is just what we need.
