The health perks are currently causing significant imbalance in regards to premium & non-premium squads. As a result, it’ll take up to two (or three, depending on the range) shots to ensure that a premium soldier goes down (to medpack themselves). This creates an atmosphere where the premium squads, armed with their rapidfire weapons, can wipe out entire squads with one single soldier.
To that end, I suggest that the health perks simply be removed.
Agreed, either health perk gets extremely severe nerf, or it needs to be removed altogether. After that happens, we can judge premium squads again to see how many more nerfs are needed to balance them out.
Leaving them as it is, will kill the game… and that is not just my subjective opinion, that is a fact, based on the number of bots that are swarming in matches more and more ever since closed beta testing began. That alone should ring the alarm bell in regards to these squads.
I really don´t get a single reason why we should defend this perk or premium squads in general at this moment.
I aint seen such advantage of my premium squad. Its mostly a weaker squad, couse they dont have lmg, enginers etc. This is only for the begginers. Im tired of using this squad and thinking about switch it for rifleman.
I don’t see how my dislike of anecdotal evidence is akin to not liking democracy. You’re free to have your own opinion, ofcourse, but it seems like your opinion is currently in a minority. That doesn’t mean it’s bad.
I personally prefer taking other squads with me, so that I might level their soldier & weapon trees for future usage.
It is the only squad that has the ability to have 7 soldiers with automatic weapons. This is objectively more than any other squad. Saying that it is worse because it does not have a LMG or Engineer is a subjective opinion as some players don’t care for those. The only objective fact about this squad is that it is able to get more bullets downrange per second than any other squad, leading to superior DPS at short distances, making it better for the CQC role.
On top of that, the 4 premium soldiers in the squad are objectively better than any other soldier in the game right now, until someone fully levels up a soldier to veteran to compete with these.
Nor Ivan, nor Fritz should be chads enough to be able to eat bullets (especially slow bolt action) like this no matter the veteran vs p2w player conflict. Even if I use logic that was used to defend those squads, it does not work. They are beginner stuff? Ok… so why beginners see them as p2w together with veterans? Plot twist: its not equiped medkits, its because of their insane gun stability and health perks. Why veterans see them as P2W? Because of ability to take full auto squad of absolute bullet for breakfest eating chads to combat right from the first minute after registration. That is something veterans had to work months to achieve, and even then their squads cannot do the same as premium.
That is the reason, why P2W squads are getting so much backlash.
The maxxed out squad with the really good smgs that has the advanatge of 7 ASSAULTERS that have a bunch of prek we have to bleed for is weaker… just let that sink in
Thx for that! I really enjoy some sides of the game but some overpovered things broke mechanics like democharges against tanks. The premium squad - not the op ones… Every player now have its own, at least in one team. You can use it often, you can use it only in tough fights, you can play some other squads. You have a choise, its good.
And remember its a marketing thing. Marketing > realism > balance. Its sad sometimes but reality is going like that.
If i buy something - i want something. For example in Partisans 1941 i buy supporter pack a bit higher on price. And all i got is a damn dog in camp. Its not a character in game - its a furniture.
Here i got squad with uniqe weapons. Its totally forth it.
leanr what you spent you money on then and at the and pls tell me how important you being OP is and how it won’t kill the game because fo epeople joining using stock bolt action rifles against your premium squad they’ll have to use 3-4 bullets to deal with you the health perk is game it shoudl eb reduced or removed and it won’t only be the premim squad but the standard ones after being upgraded that will be a problem
The thing is i tell here my expresion of game and i dont feel op of prem squads. The second as i say we do not definetly know - what will be in realse verison (1.0). Maybe PPK will be nerfed (where to?) and perks will be mixed a few times. Now its a bit early to discuss Premium nerf. Its only my opinion
