a bit of context
greetings.
today i come with an extension of the burma QOL when it came to some events and premium squads.
some of the event squads got the ability to add an additional member and choose to the tech tree either an engineer or an anti tank trooper. and allowed some squads to be slighlty closer to TT counterparts
as an example here is a;
Note: riflemen squads were kept out, because as DF stated, such squads shouldn’t get an engineer. i also kept out those other squads that were already " kitted " out with the already max number of soldiers in the squad. such as medics or radioman squads.
main Suggestion
i’ll start by saying that, i do not posses all premium squads. matter of fact, very few. and those few that i have, are mostly for HA purposes.
but i am confident regarding events squads ( since i do own all event squads ) and some of them needs the additional selection trooper to be in line like others that were implemented, as well as making some of these squads more appealing.
i’ll also give some additional reasoning if needed.
on top, i’ll be providing the exact id squad names for developers to make their job easier.
For Germany
-
Premium German Medic Orita M1941 axis_stalingrad_prem_medic_1
why?
unlike the medic squads of japan & US, these squads do not come with a 5th member by default. hence they will benefit from having an additional engineer, or the ability to place an anti tank trooper. -
silenced mp41 ( ger_normandy_event_assault_1 )
this squad despite being an assaulter squad, only comes with 5 members opposed as 6, compared to others events squads. -
Halloween Engineer
despite being an engineer squad, only comes with 5 members
( the following one is optional. but bear with me for a moment )
- Sdkfz 251/9 " Stummel "
historically, the crew was of 5-6 members.
i’d recon for a vehicle being br III, with no Heat, an additional anti tank trooper would do nothing but aid this squad to increase anti tank capabilities. especially if used on foot compared to TT or premium APCs. ( no. the bren carrier was historically only made out of 3/4 soldiers. so the same does not apply )
For US
- Silenced sten SAS squad ( allies_tunisia_event_assault_1 )
same deal with the german silenced squad.
despite being an assaulter squad, others event assault squads gets 6 members. this one, only 5.
For Japan
- halloween samurai squad
despite being an anti tank squad, this one really could benefit from an additional engineer, or to the very least, an additional tank trooper. ( considering that even TT has 3 anti tank troopers, or. compared to others event anti tank troopers )
For USSR
- USSR Medics squads ( allies_stalingrad_prem_medic_1 )
similarly to the german squad, this squad only has 4 elements. it could benefit the selection to add an additional engineer, or anti tank trooper.
- Halloween Assaulter squad
this squad despite being an assaulter squad, only gets 5 members. opposed as other events squads that has more assaulters ( to begin with ) and an additional trooper.
and of course, to those who are reading / watching, please share the premium squad that you believe should receive the same treatment, and i’ll include them.
p.s i do not know how to handle the fact that US and Japan premie medic squads have a 5th member, which it’s also a medic. but the ussr and ger ones do not. i’d figure to give them an additional engineer and anti tank trooper to make them more appealing… since most people don’t use medics as they are supposed to.
i do not know how to handle anti tank trooper or engineer squads either.
should they get access to an additional engineer / anti tank trooper and rise the squad size up to 6/7? or remain to 5/7. let me know.
