This premium squads need definitely an engineer. I beg you Darkflow / Gaijin please change one infantry soldier to an engineer.
Engineers soldiers are one of the most important soldiers players should have in each squad.

I like having 9 Riflemen. I prefer to keep my squads distinct for their role. Too many classes and jobs mixed together confuses my priorities 
However I think we should be able to customize premium/event squads. At least give everyone options to do what they like
Agreed, the id be willing to fork over the cash to buy these squads if they had engineers, but as they are currently are I think theyâre pretty useless if you donât have a rally point down already.

building a rallypoint should be one of the first priorities

they should rework all old premium squads.
I never understood why they havenât added an engineer with the same weapon like the affected premium squad in past. Instead the gave us only the opportunity to add an non-premium engineer with an techtree weapon - at least better then nothing, but no what I hoped for. Darkflow / Gaijin should rework them all step by step and give us a fully premium engineer with the same weapon for all old premium squads which donât have one as standard

Iâm not sure they know how to add extra soilders of a different classes, I hope the recent lvt squad increase is a sign that theyâve figured out a way to add premium soilders to squads. I guess weâll just have to wait and see if theyâve finally figured out how to alter premium squad composition and give extra copies of premium weapons, remove soilders/change a soilders class.
Itâs actually not much different than bringing new squads into the game. They also naturally have a pioneer in the squad.
Do you mean they should re issue old premium squads to be updated?
What do you mean with âre-issueâ?
If you mean âreworkâ then yes. That is what I hope for in future
Well thatâs the Engineerâs (squad) job 
If that engineer squad dies and your rally got destroyed what do you do next?! Then you have for the next 2 squads no engineer to rebuild a rallypoint - not the smartest idea.
And what if you ran out of ammo with the new squad? Waiting for âmercyâ that another teammate will build an ammobox or take the opportunity by yourself being able to supply your soldiers? On top you can also block enemy paths with barbed wire or czech hedgehog in buildings to protect yourself from tanks trying to shot inside - works pretty good
Engineers should be in every squad and are the most important class. very good player will confirmed it.
Having only one engineer squad to do so and not using them in all squads and you are playing against your own team. Of course you can play like you want and nobody can force you to change it but then donât be surprised why you might loose more often.
If they cannot edit pre existing squads (reworking them), then a 2nd solution Iâd offer would be to release a 2nd version of the squad (like the M3 field mod for Xbox) that has the engineer already in it and then perhaps owners of the squad can fill out a support ticket and revive a updated version of the squad. (Yes owners could possibly have the squad 2 times, 1 old and 1 new)

would be a good solution. but i doubt that one of these options will ever be added so that be could benefit from it and restore glory for old squads

Exactly. Like eventhough I personally wouldnât do it I still think Premium/ event squads should be customizable so everyone can play how they want.
I play like that since we have all these different squad types might as well keep it simple so I know exactly what Iâm getting. If Iâm an Assaulter my job isnât to build defenses, its to charge the enemy. Or MG I find a spot to bipod and lay down fire. If Iâm Mortar why would I put an Assault in the squad, my job isnât to charge the objective. I keep it simple
I have thought about organizing my squads based on history, and even then not every squad type would have an Engineer, but that would take more updates and overhauls to the game such as Rifle squads being able to have an Assault (Squad leader) and MG. For example, AT was not part of the basic American Infantry squad, but many players wouldnât dare leave their squad without having an AT in it
So since this game isnât entirely historical I just keep the squad jobs simple. Every squad has one job and playstyle
I would like the option for an engineer, though honestly using the squad, Im happy using it without one, since you can only have one rally, once that rally is down, you can focus on other things.
Yes but its also beautiful as it is

Sadly theyâre not the first victim of the devs past mistakes
The M44L, M91 Moschetto, M16 Berthier carbine. Have no engineers I would like in the future they did the same for the M3 grease gun Field Mod, but release the squads where one get replaced with an Engineer.
And like to get the news squads with that update for free if I already have the none engineer squad.

This is an aspect that was forced upon the players themselves, and which, according to the developersâ mental policy considering Premium squads, should not have been there at all. Thatâs âa lotâ considering Darkflow
Agreed.
