18 preset slots is not enough

I concur. 18 is not enough for the big nations when you like to play multiple BR’s and modes.

I would happily pay for them too.

Having a line-up for multiple BR brackets I found to be pretty handy for finding sim lobbies without sacrificing flexibility.

This is my american presets:

This is very handy for very quickly filtering through lobbies without getting overwhelmed by irrelevant information from “show unavailable.” If I end up doing missile jets, it’ll quickly turn into 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12+

If I also started doing line-ups for ground should I ever start doing american ground, I’ll quite likely run out of presets seeing britain is looking like…

Might ditch the 4.7 line as 5.3 offers roughly the same experience while having all t3 vehicles for BP.

You might even go for gimmicky line-ups like “Every 4.3 german SPG in a single line-up for SPG tasks” or so forth.

More would be nice. I would have to re-do my presets every time they do br changes. Sometimes splitting one into two just to not get uptiered too much.

I’m sure everyone plays the game differently.

When I started I just went from one lineup to next spading them, started with 6 crew slots, 4 ground vics and 2 planes, moved to 7 for an extra bomber/heli later on. It just felt wrong tearing those presets apart, they are for a given BR the best lineup you can have (with 7 slots).

Here is 12.0/top tier Germany, I know the mig29 is 12.3 but it’s a lot more fun to fly than the phantom and I don’t mind the slight uptier especially now with the new BR changes (need to grind new puma to replace vilkas, I like the PSO over 2A6, and germany really needs stuff besides MBTS at top tier). But on the bottom there i can click any BR I want and I have everything set up, the best vehicles I can possibly bring, everything has marketplace camos I like, they are experted (if i can afford it), everything except the lineup in the pic is fully spaded, and everything is set up nicely.

Even then I have to hit presets key to select 3.0-5.3 lineups. There no room for naval, or outside of GRB lineup planes like the su27 or yak141 in Russia, except a single “RAND” tab I have to use for stuff like that. Also I can’t make presets for rank I or II stuff at all except the 3.0 one I have.

I’m going to be that guy once again and point out you have some tabs that are one BR step away from each other. It looks entirely excessive and cluttered. They are all set for GRB as well, so you have no tab to move to Air or naval at a single click, to which you have mentioned.

For reference, Germany has 6 tabs for me. Three for West Germany and three for East Germany with air, ground, and naval for each. There is no need to split BRs, my crews of 6 have specific spots they go to.

Setup reference.

-Spot 1 (Light/Medium or Battleship)
-Spot 2 (Medium/Heavy or Heavy Cruiser)
-Spot 3 (Fighter)
-Spot 4 (Attacker/Bomber/Helicopter)
-Spot 5 (SPAA or Frigate)
-Spot 6 (SPG or Torpedo Boat)

When I feel like switching BRs, I move associated vehicles from the tree, a process that takes a minute or so. There will never be enough tabs for me if I chose to organize that way and would clutter my UI. Instead, I chose to organize by military organization, like so:

Spoiler

To reiterate, unless the limit is due to server memory reasons, it does not affect me in the slightest if presets are expanded. Or, if we want to be fair about it, have presets that hold subcategories for easier filtering.

Why should this be a problem in the first place? Why not give everybody 50 Slots? Don’t see the problem, would be a easy fix.

Mate why the hell do you have 18 presets? (Not u specifically) Your logic is like trying to count how many letters are there in Alphabet soup.

For those of us that play with people starting their grind. Having more Presets would be nice.

LT Navy (Baby navy),
BBs (… BB’s),
Playne (Fighters, low BR),
A 1.3 (A13s for those peeps just starting tanks, or to screw around for fun),
2.7 Hedgefund (Hedgehog/Crusaders),
4.7 Flame Bae (4.7 Brit, need I say more?)
5.3 (TBF this is more like 4.7 + Comet + AA)
7.7mm Donk Donk (Its kinda funny. I don’t have the Donk on this after I spaded it, But it does have my Cent 5/1 + FV4202 which is a better Donk),
8.3 (I want to get rid of this. But I have a dude that has been stuck at 8.0 for ages and won’t play without me online).
8.7 (My brother really for when we want stuff that is more AT tier and not up tier).
Current Max Tier (9.3 that gets uptiered to 10.3 99% of the time).
Bombad (Not shown, but is my late war bombers and some fighters)

This is 12 presets already eaten up. I can see how 16-18 could be rough depending on how many friends and where they are upto in the game.

Something about too heavy on gaijin side with something like memory or whatever with how many accounts there is (millions upon millions) im guessing.

I just wish for extreme cases like me and other people with huge investments into one tree there was a way to get more presets via GE or something. People who NEED more than 18 presets are so heavily invested into the game that paying for more probably isn’t a big issue.

no fucking way the first 3 post including original spell “sus”

I could do with some more preset slots for sure

Aviation
2.0-4.0
5.7
6.7
7.0
8.3
9.0+
Custom
CustomGround
Misc

+4 unused slots
What more do you need than this?

there is a limit on custom loadouts, yes

Why should this be a memory issue? This is only some text with a few bytes. If its a storage issue, Gaijin could provide some info why its not possible or why its not done. Would be easier to disguss.

It could just be the number of times the dev wanted to hit Copy and Paste for the same code over and over again to get to the 18 that we have now.

I can’t imagine using 18 slots but I’m not going to tell others how to play their game, but I can see why it might have been “limited” to 18 for seemingly arbitrary reasons.
