Love the two new anti-tank squads (fully equipped & with perks) for the current event, especially the Allies who come equipped with an AVS semi-auto / full auto. Totally awesome! Thank you … Much appreciated.
Is this sarcasm?
No, I’m serious.
They are not fully equipped because iirc they dont have backpacks.
That’s kind of nitpicky don’t you think? All the weapons are free (including grenades & mines), you don’t have to pay for them. Although the perks could be better, they are free as well—along with all of the soldiers. The AT weapons are entry level, but if they weren’t people would cry “OP.”
Don’t get me wrong, I do have a long list of improvements I would like to see in the game; however, I think this is a decent reward for the event —although the grind can be a bit much for people who don’t have the time.
A decent reward?
No they are not, those squad main selling point is their AT-RIFLE who is proved be ineffective even aganaist starter tank (t60,pz2) the two most weak starting tank of the game.
Sorry that we disagree, but I have been able to kill light tanks with the AT rifles. I’m sure they’ll be less effective against heavier tanks, but as I’ve said … it’s all free—and not required. It’s an event you can choose not to participate in.
Here’s an option for you: If you don’t like the squad, then strip them down and use the weapons you do like (perhaps the grenades and mines) in another squad. Then you’ll get some kind of use out of it, at least.
Here another option for you, make those reward working aganaist medium tank at least, i have all the event veichle and gun and all of them have purpose to be used even aganaist endgame player because those one are still effective
This squad are useless even for new player, and no 5 shitty avs dont help you aganaist panzer 3 and 4, same for german aganaist t50, neither they are some game change aganaist infantry when the other team is full of automatic gun
You get 10 anti tank mines, some decent semi autos, a couple large backpacks, medkits, and I believe some grenades (worth 54+ silver tickets) for Moscow, on top of getting a gold order and a couple normandy mortars. For new players and some f2p players, this is a decent event.
The time cap is what made it bad.
Im happy with the new squads, first I doubted that I would use them as Im already lvl39 on moscow axis and have plenty of nice stuff to filed. Yet I was convinced by the wz 35, it is such a fun gun. I even shoot down planes with it. Yes its not a meta squad, but people sometimes also need to do fun stuff, not only meta.

Obviously, nothing I say will change your mind. We just see it differently. I don’t want to turn this into an argument, but consider the following:
As for the “shitty” AVS you referenced, it’s a go-between regarding bolt-action rifles and automatic weapons. It’s not the best, but it’s not the worst either. You can use it in semi-auto mode, or full auto. I’m certainly not the best player in most games: My aim can be quite bad sometimes, and I can be slow to respond; however—at close range—I can sometimes beat someone with an automatic weapon by using a semi-auto. It can be done!
Did you expect them to give us automatic weapons on an AT squad? What if they gave us both-action rifles? At least we got a weapon with dual-action modes so you can choose whichever mode that works best for you.
Would I prefer a more powerful AT rifle? Of course I would. But the devs also gave us grenades and mines, guns, medkits, and perks. You have to look at the entire package, not just the AT rifles. If OP AT rifles were handed out, everyone who could not participate in the event would complain about it. Guaranteed.
Yes you cant destroy them, but I bet when I shoot both of their tracks and than the gun barrel, they will feel pretty much screwed.
the main thing who maked us play for two weeks something who get promoted as main reward, is usless, i feel myself pretty dumb after wasted two hour each day for grind the event for them now, thats the point dude i dont need avs,zk,mine i have them i can buy them, I played, For the AT-RIFLE because a better AT-RIFLE for kill low-mid tank was nice even if you can’t kill endgame tank, but what whe get? Something who have problem aganaist t60
@gastanofrizzi
If I had everything maxed out like you do, I might feel the same way. I understand how you feel; I’ve felt the same way in other games when developers took certain actions that totally screwed me over.
It sounds like you have everything in the game already, so your expectations were for something bigger and better. Unfortunately, it looks like this event was geared more towards newer players—like myself—or, players who haven’t been around as long as you. Hopefully the devs see this post. Maybe they’ll do something for veterans in a future event.
Sorry you feel so bummed about the whole thing!
Yep good to have some AVS since Moscow is one of the last campaigns for me to max and I have yet to unlock it there.
I am grateful for the squads. They are fun and unique the way the devs intended and gave free weapons. For some odd reason players are expecting these squads to become meta or uber powerful and that is just not realistic an expectation.
