Disable the default troop selection at battle start...

[KingoftheBongo]

Title says it all... I don’t know how often I slighty missed the next button and deployed a single Bundeswehr just to realize opponent is 30+ levels above me, with no chance to get even one star. Often instant loss of 25+ medals. >_>

So Nexon should change the current system to compensate for your occasional mis-tap?
Is this a widespread issue, affecting hundreds of thousands of people?
If medals are important to you that’s unfortunate when you lose them but if you’re aware of the issue why not be more aware when ‘nexting’?

It certainly affects a lot of players, causes frustration.
Touchscreen precision is varying between devices. Sometimes a finger near a corner may be enough to confuse it. Especially on tablets, that are held differently than phones.
It’s a strategy game that should perform the player intended (!) actions.
There is no benefit in having a default selection in first place.
The amount of code change required is probably 1 (one) line.

So, yes, I do ask Nexon if they could disable default selection because it simply should be no effort on their side. If, however, it would require 5 hours of coding, the amount of work would be disproportionate.

I often rally troops when I try to deploy planes and I guess it's a BIGGER issue than this. I'm OK with default troop selection. I'm also OK with medal loss. We could always gain them next battle.

I also did this mistake, I try to be more carefull now but disabling the auto select is a nice idea. There is another case when it could be usefull, when I want to drop medals I just drop 1 infantry and I leave the battle, but a few times I had the case where I didn't saw that my 2 infantry troops didn't retrain and thus the default delected unit was a HT mk6, so I had do drop all my HT to win the battle and not loose it ...

Well if Nexon grants this I hope we don't get complaints from players to reactivate the default troop selection, because they accidentally tapped the plane while they're trying to deploy the foot troop.
Then we'll get complaints to move the plane button away from the foot troop button, and so on.

this is what i do. move the screen so that the ‘next’ button comes on top of enemy buildings or the water so that even if i mistap, i dont deploy any troops. this takes less than a second

tapping the fighter when i wanted an infantry, now thats a problem

I'd love the option to custmomize the layout. Failing that, I'd settle for war academy tactics being to the immediate right of barracks/factory troops with mercs, donated troops, generals, troop tactics and coalition troop locked to the right of those. We don't need buttons for units that are only dropped once occupying the prime real estate that you can get to without having to swipe left.
