They are not so better spend $50 on Tunisia flamethrower squads while you still can.

Lots of changes in this one.
Reduced silver cost for vehicles, weapons and perk resets, as well as better returns on selling soldiers is great.
Limiting squads is another great change for balancing, although a limit of 2 assaulters/flamer/etc (except premium) will not do much as premium squads can simply be the 3rd so you can still rotate them infinitely. Also I think this limitation should not apply to normal rifle squads as those are not specialised squads.
Filters for squads is greatly appreciated.
Changing Stalingrad Engineers is going to be a bit contentions. The way they worked on the test server was no doubt broken and would be completely unfair for new players. However AR engineers were essentially part of the full access pass (F2P you could get 1 squad and transfer the weapons I know),so itâs going back on something people paid money for, as the original messaging was that the squads would be able to keep AR engis.
The same reason why they can carry the FG-42, FG-42 II, AVS, AVT and the M2 carbine, it is nothing new.

If youâre worried about that youâre gonna be worried about the comment I just made then because this will be happening and people will be abusing this mechanic.

The assaulter lovers forget about medics I guess. They are so overdramatic. I think this change is very healthy for the game overall.

Agree, why do these people think that engineers in Berlin and Normandy can use the M2 carbine and Fg42-2 to be fair to these new players?

The stopping power is the problem no engineer can carry a rifle that powerful is a full automatic.
And if youâve been playing and listed for a while combat ranges are roughly within 100 to 200 meters so having an engineer with something that powerful is questionable to say the least unless weâre gonna give it to all factions as well.

They donât have engineers or can equip ammo pouches so itâs a suicide to lose tickets squad since their ammo is so limited, i canât find a reason to use them instead real assaulters or engineers or mkb42 snipers.

New player wonât meet them anyway because of BR.

cause new players can get those engineers and equip them with those guns. the stalingrad engineers with AR availability would be discontinued, therefore new players cant get them.
Itâs stated on the news that it doesnât affect premium squads.
Only free and event squads.
Premiums no. You can run multiple of same type with premium squads.

See, you can still choose other squads than just assaulters.
Because it gives me the ability to focus on a task.
If you play in a team and you want to be at least semi serious, you will be planing your roles.
It is not necessary for every player to have an engineer squad - but having one dedicated engineer will support your team consistently.
It makes no sense to bring just one sniper squad, but if you bring 3 your team can count on you to fulfil your role.
Also there are maps where you wouldnât even want to bring close range squads like assaulters and flamers to begin with.
You are being robbed of your ability to choose your own playstile - just because you guys are to lazy to have a real discussion about balance doesnât give you the right to makes others not pick what they like best.

Yeah. I saw that. But the charm of the weapon is that anyone can use it. Otherwise why would a machine gunner use it over the RD-44? Personally speaking the ability to buy multiple copies of the same gold order weapon itself was a bad change. What is their uniqueness quotient if I can arm all my engineers with 5 Kurz? So thereâs that.

Most of the German MGâs we have donât even hit that hard and weâre not even wearing body armor so why should it engineer on the Soviet side be allowed to carry something that powerful.

Body armor offers negligible protection against pistol cartridge rounds. So thatâs not huge to begin with. I am sure the devs will add something for Germany in the near future as well. No reason to get upset about it.

The problem is the stopping power the rifle and you can give it to engineers this will be a problem in end game and someoneâs gonna buy multiple of them and have a squad fully equipped with this stuff.

good changes.
â what about the stalingrad 3+3 squad slot compensation? someone posted that gets changed too âwith goldâ but did not state how much gold exactly. obviously it need to be the amount to buy those 3+3 slots for axis + soviet armies.

Then I can play all the premium assault squads and people will complain about P2W.
