Grand Opertations forced team switch
This needs to be sorted out
I'm trying to complete the Tides of War: The Launching Operation assignment (win every grand operations)
Doing really well on the Norwegian campaign on the German side, going 35 to 10, squad is pulling the team, spend the artillery defence round spotting, we win with all in tact. Dominate the second round with no flags taken. And then, when it comes to the third round it moves us onto the British side for conquest on fjell, where we have no objectives because of what my squad did for the German side during the first two rounds. We end up losing by 100 points with a player count of 16 (UK) - 30 (G)
I just wasted a good chunk of my short evening for what? To lose against the side that we helped get the advantage we then had to face?? F that
This needs to be sorted out. Most maps are easy to fight back on. But fjell, with an all enemy advantage, is bs on GO
Edit: I should add after thinking about it, that I would be fine if before the third round a screen came up notifying everyone that teams had been re-balanced and then starting the third round from a neutral start. Because then, if I lost, it's because the other team were just better. But as it stands, advantages shouldn't be counted after a re-shuffle

I understand why DICE made their decision, though I'm not a fan of it.
I think the perfect compromise would be to let people switch teams within the first 60 seconds of the round, or during the pre-round timer. Keep the window small, so you don't get the usual issues of team switching mid-round, but allow for a window where people can switch - it's very frustrating trying to do assignments or Mastery challenges that require you to be on a specific team, but you can't get on that team.
