Here’s the deal, you used to be able to add more troops to founders pack squads and that feature was removed with the open beta. I think that the founders pack squads should still be able to have more than the 4 troops they start with because the whole thing that made the squads actually worth using in battle was the fact that there was more than 4 troops in the squad. More than the 4 people in the premium squads isn’t going to unbalance the game too much either, so why shouldn’t it just be reverted to how it was before OBT?

They were really good in combat and some said even OP, thats why they have only those 4 soldiers now.
And they were really good with those 7 SMG guys there, as maps are rather small and most of time they are towns, 7 SMG guys in one squaf is a lot. And is unbalanced against normal squads.

Need I say more? Even you agree it would be unbalanced

tbh they’re pretty dogshit now after the actual necessary perk balance and then the unneeded nerf of removing men
Give back my extra three dudes. Just make them chooseable like how you do in the mainline squads with the pick one per slot.

As long as they are just normal troops and not premium troops, im fine with them having more troop slots.

Yeah, just make them regular troopers, anything. I never use them unless I’m just grinding campaign levels, otherwise I want to level troops and other squads.

No I do not agree it’d be unbalanced. I am implying that it’d Make little to no difference in the balance of the game.
@_31420124242011 Exactly! Just give us our 3 extra soldiers back!
@LegoProdigy I doubt they’d get the premium booster, only the troops who came with the squad would get that.
@73927816 You have a great point, most of us use the premium squads just to grind the campaign so adding the 3 other troops won’t make a difference other than making it slightly easier to level up troops.

I never said they’d have to be more assaulters. In my opinion they should let you choose what the three other troops can be so bomber, flametrooper, etc…

I agree that it’d be unbalanced if you could get 3 more assaulters, and that as it is now premium squads just aren’t competitive with upgraded standard squads.
I’d mimic exactly how the non premium assault squad is so a normal AT, engineer and machine gunner or rifleman. It would make the premiums squads flexible and useable beyond the yolo 4 man team we currently have.

I can´t be the only one who likes the squads and soldiers more than their performance, my friends recommended me to buy the founders smg squad of the soviet union, because they reminded us of a great old movie which we loved, so we all bought it and the greatest thing about the entire game for us was that we could customize this squad as well, we all were really dissapointed when they removed this feature… For us, an alternative way to balance them is to downgrade the soldiers a little bit, but please dear developers, please bring the premium squad customisation back, thats why we all bought this bundle in the CBT.
I only use the fopunder squads when I need SMG or MG kills now - I’m sure I’ll use them when I start another side or campaign tho…
I find they are still effective even at only 4 troops, and htey do not need anything more.
4 guys with B.A.R.´s can wipe DOZENS of enemies per single respawn. Are you seriously trying to argue why there should be option for 7 or more per squad? Against guys with bolt-actions? Are you serious or just badly camouflaged troll?
You really want your OP beatstick back, dont you? And to give this game P2W label as a bonus.
there are a lot of free squads (i think already at the first or second campaign level), which also lets you equip about 6-7 smg stormtroopers, which also can reach the fifth rank. So basically the CBT bundle would include the same amount of soldiersas everyone can get, that means it wouldnt be op.
They let you equip 4, yes. Not 6, not 7. FOUR.
And MG squads can only have THREE machinegunners. So the CBT bundles are still miles better by having four which no free squad can have.
We aren´t talking about machinegunners or stormtroopers, we are talking about adding ANY type of soldiers, like infantry or engeneers. Also, just because the soldiers got machineguns, deosnt mean they are automatically better. In CQC the machinegun could also loose against any kind of soldiers because its not a oneshot weapon. Also the machinegunner squad got a lot of other troopers as well like anti tank, smg, engeneer or sniper for example. Basically, youre paying 30 dollars for either a smg squad (Which is the same as free, but in the CBT squad, you couldnt add machinegunners, snipers, or engeneers) or for a 20 dollar machinegunner squad (for a squad with 1 single more machinegunner more, without any other benefits, and you also couldnt add a sniper, engeneer or assaulter). I dont think the game massivly changes through such a small change.
Ah i just love your mental gymnastics. Cant play without broken squads huh?
You literally said “6-7 SMG stormtroopers”, not 6-7 troops. So you are already backtracking on your own words, love it.
Also “Also, just because the soldiers got machineguns, deosnt mean they are automatically better. In CQC the machinegun could also loose against any kind of soldiers because its not a oneshot weapon.”
Omg i love how you are absolutely clueless about the game. Do you even play it or you stopped because your broken squad got rightfully nerfed? MG IS a oneshot weapon. Especially in CQC. It IS godly in CQC. Even SMG´s have problem tackling someone with LMG in CQC.
You know, there is a good reason why the squads got nerfed the way they did and both devs and larger playerbase know that.
“I dont think the game massivly changes through such a small change.”
It was already shown in CBT how broken the squads were. This “small change” of yours would make them exactly the same as in CBT, broken. Changes reflect that and they arent gonna revert them because few people cant play without broken squads. Do you want to play dead P2W game? Go play Survarium. Enlisted so far went the right way and they seem to be staying true to that way.
Nobody wants another generic F2P dead game with P2W elements.
As certain tryhard community loves to say “git gud”
Premium squads generate extra overall xp don’t they?
