What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This would create a system where all stocks on both teams get restocked as soon as pre-war for Conquest begins. (I swear to god actually read it before you go '-support helis tanks bad')
Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Currently, we have a couple of big wars a day, these are typically later on in the day and they can be vastly determined by players who are online earlier in the day using stocks in their smaller wars. Allowing for full restocks gives a more exciting dynamic to wars, as well as giving all regiments more access to equipment.
Another positive would be player retention, a lot of people will log off or switch sides if there are no stocks, having all stocks restock before a conquest war would solve this.
Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
The obvious negative is that there would be more vehicles and that stock management would be wildly negated. People in earlier wars too may opt to abuse stocks, meaning if an attrition war happens later on in the day it could negatively impact the outcome. Personally, stock management is not a fun way to engage with the server, and is more of a chore than anything actually engaging.
Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
This would only be for conquest wars, or alternatively, for wars where both teams have >25 players. It's a bit of a weird gameplay aspect that people who play in a different timezone have to rely on earlier/later players to manage the stocks from their regiments.
Conquest wars are usually the biggest wars of the day, where the whole of MRP is together in fighting. Limiting access to stocks for regiments hugely downplays how big these wars can be. We should want conquest wars to be all-out warfare, with both teams having the opportunity to fight on even footing.
The negatives are a big factor, but they won't play too much of a role in reality. At peak war, both teams have tankers and pilots which tend to counter one another. The victors of the wars will be decided on performance and intuition as opposed to who has more stocks.
Yes this would mean that people could potentially abuse the stocks earlier on, leading to a more intensive series of wars earlier in the day, but to combat this we could perhaps limit stocks when under a certain playercount, or if a war is less than 16 v 16?
Perhaps we could include a new war type that occurs at more than 30 v 30 called 'All Out War' which would give an emergency supply of all stocks, these would be more rare and probably only happen in the biggest war of the day, if not the week, thus removing the chance of people abusing stocks early on.
I say let's give the chance for both teams to have the peak war of the day be played on level footing, let's see more tank combat, more dogfights, more infantry using vehicles to get around.
**EDIT**
This would NOT apply to specialist vehicles such as SCUDs/HIMARs and HQs.
