Alright so my in game my name is Forrest Gump im in the russian ground forces and i am an SSP ive been playing on the server for a while now and i choose to stay an SSP so i can join a different faction so i wont be stuck doing demo tryouts and marksmen tryouts and having a disadvantage against people with donated weapons and higher factions because KST is honestly the same as a simple SGT they just have perms to claim land for a couple mins and host tryouts and promote they get no new weapons which is a disadvantage on this server thing is factions are pretty hard to get in ive tried out for every single faction except for frogmen because they barely host tryouts GRU ive got to sniper hill but as discussed GRUs models broke so head glitching on top of GRU mountains easy when you have high ground ended up killing the guy once the other two times he had high ground so he was impossible to see recently they have changed RUOC to ATTC 1 to make it even harder for new people and im pretty sure they probably switched up some other things aswell for SSO ive actually completed the whole tryout but i guess i came on the wrong day because they ended up doing boardwalk as an extra portion because i guess it was "too easy" so i did the boardwalk sim and failed even tho i clapped throughout the other sims for V Gruppa they give you wiki questions which is pretty simple but going against the head of Vympel and beating him you should automatically become Vega because hes too good to even beat and thats like the first sim but honestly i think the hitbox is just broke because you can get the jump on someone but some how youll still die quicker another reason why being stuck in a home faction being kst is a bad idea you wont have any chance against a nail gunner or enemy snipers with a soldier class demo or marksmen no one even uses marksmen they say its for counter sniping but its a 1% chance youll actually out gun someone with a donated sniper or faction sniper besides all 2GA gets stuck guarding the inside of a base while other factions are allowed to flank and push out half the war all i do is sit on corners waiting for people to come through a single doorway or get shot by enemy snipers holding an ak as 2GA trying to push an obj
My idea to change this
Make it so everyone gets a chance to join a faction based on playtime, order following skills, and question answering tests. Because doing sims isnt based on skill its based on luck in garrys mod mainly because the hitbox
If it is sims make it only one sim and no higher only doing 1v1s and or 2v2s with people under the leader of the faction
Make it so that you can only tryout if your an SHS or higher and give people cool downs you can only do tryouts once everyday
Make it so that doing a 1v1 against a leader of a faction isnt permitted unless your in another faction and want to join 2 factions at once
Make it so that you can only join two factions or higher if your above PVT and JRSGT in your faction and your in game rank 30
well thats my suggestion i feel like this should be the same thing for the US aswell people already in factions or have donated classes might not like it because it equals the playing field but yea it should be fixed somehow even if its not the ways i listed.
