I just tried to show that its not that difficult to get rank 5 soldiers (i already got 4, basically 6). And also if you compare the premium assaulter squad to the normal one, the premium one is worse:
Free assaulter squad: 4 assaulters/ 1 machinegunner/ 1 engeneer/ 1 anti tank (for example)
Premium assaulter squad: 4 assaulters
I just showed that i could easily get a rank 5 soldier with just 1 single click. I just dont need him right now. How dont you understand me?
Oh, so giving them 3 more assaulters and placing them on the top of the food chain again to let the cancer continue is just fine then?
Hell no. Purpose of premium squad is not to make everyone else miserable thus I fully support that nerf. (Btw I can still cause a lot of damage “only” with those 4 PPKs or MP41… and get nice exp during the process from premium squad bonus)
How do you not understand me? If you can do it then do it. But you won’t because it would hurt you overall. Thats what I’ve repeatedly stated. And even still, 51 hours of gameplay for 2 Tier 5s is not at all quick to do as you’ve stated
Except the premium ones have FOUR high level soldiers, which you need over 100 hours to obtain by your own words, to surpass the combat prowess of those soldiers.
The premium squads are intended to help you get started and to offer an unique experience. They are not intended to be competitive later down the line.
Also count 4 big backpacks loaded with medkits and perks that are healing you almost instantly, and of course fully upgraded weapons that are better than most of their F2P counterparts.
The nerf has made the premium squads an additional squad to be brought to the battlefield instead of being an outright replacement of the free assault squad. Gives the normal player a chance to counter with weapons and not grenade spam.
The premium squad still packs a lot of punch. Especially when you compare it 4-5 soldier squad like radio and snipers. I’d rather take a premium squad over those if I want to win games.
Best the premium squad should get from here is the ability to swap out the assault class soldiers for soldiers of any class. 4 soldier still but the choice of composition remains with the player.
I say i could obtain the rank 5 soldiers with one click, i just dont want to “pay” 3 rank 4 soldiers for each rank 5 soldier, just like others dont want to pay 30 dollars for them. Do you expect everything to be gifted? Everything has a price, no matter if its ingame or real currency.
Thats exactly my point. YOU DON’T HAVE THEM YET BECAUSE:
The cost is too expensive for you at the moment. Meaning after 51 hours of play you still have 0 rank 5 soldiers from the academy.
i dont think its meant to be just a starterpack, its like the better premium vehicles in warthunder, which you can buy. There is an actual starterpack for 5 dollars which will get you started.
All of these things can be obtained for free by reaching level 18 in the campaign. And the free 34/38 smg got a faster ttk in cqc, what means the premium gun isnt the best.
oh i already had them after like 30h or something, i just dont think its necissary to get them right now because there is no big difference between a rank 4 and a rank 5. So why argue in the first place? Why is everyone worried about rank 5´s? You could literally just rework the rank 5 premium soldiers to rank 4 and then no one would complain anymore because rank 4 soldiers are literally easy to get…
Only 35% health if you grab vitality perk on rank 5
depends of the unit. flamethrower troopers for example could obtain even more vitality perk points at rank 4 than the rank 5 soldiers from the premium squad
Oh yeah lets give my MP41 squad 3 more (eventually) rank 5 soldiers with all those great broken perks armed with MP40s… and of course gib my PPK squad 3 more drum PPDs… totally balanced and not P2W 
Sure, you have now only 4 men but that is honestly all you need given that squad sizes are now lower overall. I played with those squads during OBT and I can tell you that they are not weak.
i played in the CBT and i can tell you that ive never felt in a disadvantage when i encountered enemy ppk or mp40 units.
The argument that theres no big difference between rank 4s and rank 5s is hilarious.
Being able to run all the best perks is not an advantage?
Also obviously you dont know what the entire coversation is about. We are not talking about adding more paid rank 5 soldiers with rank 5 weapons. We talk about being able to add any kind of unit, like the COMPLETELY FREE ASSAULT SQUAD which can also become a full rank 5 squad for COMPLETELY FREE.

Tell me what can you do with 2 more perk points? Crouch faster? swap weapons faster?
