Additional Squads with Premium is Pay To Win and needs to be reworked or removed

I do. You had options to bring other soldier types besides the 4 main squad dudes

I had them since they were implemented

I had them since day 1. and I didn’t had the option to have 7 MG on same squad. Maybe yours diferent than mine. Lol
Or I simply can’t remember straight

No clue, I only remember them having pure LMGs.

But I think we can all agree that 7 SMGs / LMGs would not be the best idea, compared to having a bit of a mix of soldiers.

It wasnt as far as I remember. 4 main soldiers and extra as. Other options

Another one whining its p2w. No amount of money gets you skill from ingame store. Learn the basic battlefield tactics and youre all set countrring planes, tanks, snipers, mgs and whatnots. But as we all know you just keep on whining because its not call of duty.

Did you even read the original suggestion? If not I wouldn´t blame you, because it seems half of the people here came here only to insult each other.

Original suggestion is, to allow SOME (NOT ALL so you know who please, stay silent about BuT TheY wAnT EveRyThiNg bs…its not real, it can´t hurt you) active slots be GRINDABLE (so not free).
That pretty much means 1 vehicle slot and 1 infantry slot.
Thats literally it… there is no “everything free” or any kind of other bs.
It is really a shame that this discussion devolved into accusing.

Sure. Besides my rage posts I m a huge suporter of this. As stated many times on previous posts of mine

F2p players could and or should have the same content and slots as p2w players with the cost of really huge grind times, cards and time. Making the p2w argument invalid and, if u want it for free really have to work countless hours for it.

I think that the first vehicle slot should come with first plane (to keep skies populated, from which everyone would profit), and if we consider grinding without premium, I think level 9-10 for infantry slot would be fair enough.

Before any of the fecal storm continues I would like to remind you of the original post:

The idea of this topic is raise awareness of the situation where Premium Account gives players ability to bring in more active squads into a game. This is not a callout to remove premium and give everyone free stuff. I do not care about the fact that you can progress faster or that your training time is speeded up nor the fact that you receive more awards. All I care about is the gameplay being fun, but it’s not fun when real money starts giving advantages in an actual combat.

No one is asking for Premium Squad size to be outright removed, the original proposition is to allow free to play players eventually catch up through grind or at least allow one unit for each vehicle type - That’s it.
I would support Enlisted each month if they would reevaluate their policy and not affect the fun aspect of combat.

7 Gunners is bad and OP.
4 Gunners is shajt.
Some “?” number of gunners plus few other normal guys making 7 soldiers in total like in any other squad seems like a good compromise. Prem squad would also have ability to train your regular guys faster.

Wrote a whole thread about it few days ago:

I agree with you and even agreed in your thread. LMG squad should have 2 gunners, like it was promised before OBT.

Same is however applied for assaulter composition, If premium squads should be restored in terms of manpower, they shouldn´t be able to have more automatic weapons than their nonpremium counterparts (let´s say regular nonpremium assaulter squad can currently have 4 SMGs+ 1 LMG at max). The rest can for all I care be “universal slots” for engineers, radiomen… (but not mortar due to the mortar spam abuse)

So much this. Infantry 4th squad doesn’t make a huge difference, having two vehicles is absolutely huge.

The argument, that additional slots don’t make you a better player is absolutely disengenious. Handing a superior gun to a player also doesn’t make that player better, but at least he has a better gun now. An additional vehicle slot makes a huge difference. Imagine being an f2p player and being matched with a team of only f2p players and everyone only has either tanks or planes, but the enemy team has both.

I am still considering buying a battle-pass, just for the faster leveling. But the fact, that I will lose these extra options again after I run out, leaves a bitter aftertaste in my mouth.

Agreed, its a huge extra amount of versatilty to lose when you stop paying for the game. Being on premium and having 5 infantry squads gives you the ability to run more dedicated squads that can absolutely annihilate in the right context while also bringing in squads to counter weaknesses. A F2P player has to rotate their squads, meaning that on certain points they’ll be running squads that are not well suited or be forced to only run generalist squads which will again be less effective in certain situations.

what sucks about the game now is with all the updates they have been making it MORE and MORE pay to win … now when you buy the packs for each campaign everything is maxed out completely plus the in game currency and extras… they also did away with random weapons now which means you will be spending way more silver cards and countless bronze ones to upgrade a small amount of weapons… its BS and theyre just milking as much money as possible to the dying game that had much potential
