I believe that the current squad system in the game is merely functional and there are many features that could be added to improve it. Whenever I team up with friends, we always complain about various issues, such as repeatedly asking which spawn point to choose together, or keeping track of what vehicle teammates are using, among other things. I hope the team system can become more friendly to players, similar to other multiplayer games, without affecting the balance.
- Spawn Point Selection Display/Follow Option
As shown in the picture, at the start of the game, players should be allowed to view the number of people choosing each spawn point and see where their team members have chosen to spawn. Squad members should also be free to choose to follow other squad members (similar to the Battle Royale parachute-following mechanism).
- Team Member Status Display on Screen (Remaining Respawn Points)
It would be better to have an on-screen display of teammates’ statuses instead of having to repeatedly press Tab to check the scoreboard or engage in repetitive voice communication.This often happens when teammates lose their respawn points and start spectating.
- View Tech Tree During Matchmaking
When matchmaking takes too long, players should be able to view the tech tree to pass the time rather than being unable to do anything.
- Display Number of Players in the Air (Too much CAS)
In land battles, it’s common for everyone to go CAS, leading to a quick collapse due to a lack of ground presence. This often results in unnecessary arguments among players. It’s likely that players simply didn’t notice the imbalance in numbers; this issue could be addressed by adding an UI element to alert players (which could be toggled on or off).
These are some of my thoughts on optimizing the Squad system within wt. I hope everyone can provide more suggestions.
