Any chance of getting a commanders choice option added to the mod?

The devs have stated that they are not planning to include any additional optional tweaks into the main long war experience. You can mostly just opt to tweak it yourself using the extensive included configurable .inis, or install whatever complementary mods you want.

They have stated that they will not include Commander's Choice because it runs against the intended balance for the game. You are supposed to build the GTS and go through its training times to gain the benefit of choosing your soldiers' classes.

I would actually be fine with that if, I could GTS soldiers above the rank of rookie (maybe taking more time and an associated cost), because by the time i get the GTS I have like 15-20 squadies that have terrible stat/class combinations, 10 of which happen to be my favorite saved characters who are quickly going to see less and less play because they get outclassed by soldiers who I actually got to choose a class for that made sense.

Also from a thematic standpoint it makes sense, if I'm waging a guerrilla war against a superior force and a guy who can barely run a block signs up to be part of my scouting and recon unit, I'm going to be like "HELL NO" you get to be a specialist because you sir are an amazing hacker, not an amazing runner and I need everyone where they are going to be their best, not where they want to be.

Also the mod you linked is having some issues, where soldiers are losing stats when they switch classes, which is a pretty huge issue.

Would be nice if the mod allowed for rookies who are awaiting a promotion to be run through the GTS, even if it took the same time a normal rookie takes.

If commander's choice doesn't work you could always use Use My Class: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... =684929720

It works well for me and I haven't noticed any issues with it.

the problem with that is that it has the same issues of stats not matching class.
