[Help] Will we still be able to grind ALL the existing squads we currently have ingame after the merge?

Hello comrades!

I have two important questions which i really need an answer for, so i know which campaigns to grind:

I know the devs said we will KEEP ALL the squads we already unlocked through the progression system, but…

Will we still be able to UNLOCK ALL the currently existing squads after the merge?

I love history, so since every squad is based of a real life existing squad from ww2 with its unique history, i really need to know if we will still be able to unlock ALL the currently existing squads after the merge or will multiple ones be removed?

So the second question now:

Will some of the current squads from the same specialization loose their unique appearance with the merge update?

Some squads from the same specialization got different, cool looking uniforms. Will these uniforms be removed and replaced with a single “machinegunner uniform” and all machinegunner squads will look the same after the merge?
Example: we have these two squads, will the uniforms be removed and replaced so every machinegunner will look the same?


( Maybe @James_Grove can answer that question?)

theoricatically, yes.

as those will still be there for those who owns them.

yes and no.

yes, if those units will end up in theather that they were never supposed to be in, most likely yes.

for example, you may not encounter luftwaffe units in moscow despite previously having the camouflages.
winter units might get some different presets if will end up in the desert / thundra.
at least, what’s what we know when they answered regarding moroc units in the pacific.
some of them will get different color variations and what not ( for premium ).

regarding the free to play counter varients, that has been said along time ago.
but it could change at any moment. and, might be outdated by now.
guess we’ll have to wait for more verifiable and updated info about the matter from officials.

and if any helpers are looking, would be apreciated if you could forward the request about what will happens to cosmetics will be very helpfull. or generally, a devblog dedicated to cosmetics more in depth.

as for me, i have the same concerns and long accepted the fact that most likely will change.

hence, even the customization that you bought, you will only see it in the correct enivorement. but not all.

making the overhall cosmetics thing larger and somewhat tideous.

i hope they will enhance the customozation. but we’ll see.

Ps. james can’t really tell you much beside follow the news.
( prove me wrong :crossed_swords: plz )

I understood that different theaters will change the uniforms, but with that example here (the two machinegunner squads from berlin above)

Lets say i get into a berlin match, with these two squads being from berlin, will they both be having unique uniforms, or will they get a common “berlin machinegunner” uniform?

edit, i suspect they will remove or change larger part of cosmetics. just like they occasionally do within updates.

only the customization you bought will remain.

( if not, they will refund it )

Aw man thats so sad… I really liked collecting the squads with their cool unique base uniforms :frowning:

oh.

yeah, they will get regular uniform of machineguneers.

unless you have customization on them that fit the enivorement.

which, now that i think about it, an alpha tester confirmed that volkksturm will still be a thing, and that there were going to be customization options for it:

but yeah… don’t really know much for the others. or how this information can somewhat translate for others

same

which, leds me to believe from a business perspective, there will be default uniforms, and then, if you want to dress them like you want ( for example, luftwaffe units, camouflages etc ) you will have to buy them through customization cards or gold.

for more choice ( based on every other title out there. i hope somewhat also will work that way here. )

I got this feeling alot of the squads are going to be retired if you dont have them already. just a feeling.

So Im making sure I get the Italian ones before merge.

Piling up on silver orders to buy as many Commonwealth brothers as I can as well. Italian troops too.

I doubt we will have as many “riflemen 1” soldier buy options than there are “riflemen 1” squads available for example. Will probably be a default USA or German rifleman, as Commonwealth and Italy are said to be subs…

You’ve maxed our Commonwealth brothers as well, right?

Naturally! Smashed commonwealth as soon as Tunisia launched. Had to be done. Got my SAS and Kiwis!

Only taken a few weeks to get right up there with axis. Carcano, berretta m1 and dare I say Breda punch up…(cant believe i like the breda)

I can’t believe you like Breda :smile:

I gave my Italians the Czech surplus lmg, the one with 20 bullets. For all the hate it got… Thing acts like a BAR when max star. It’s a room cleaner and surprisingly accurate at range (max star).

As for beretta m1. Best axis smg cost versus quality. Nothing better at 4 stars, and it surpasses mp40 (if only cause 40 bullets).

Carcano m38 sniper is just:

The zb-26 got hate? Its one of my favourite mgs in this game. It wrecks. But i already have heaps in moscow so i didnt buy more.

Yeah, m1 rocks…and i really appreciate the extra round in the rifles. That 6th round has just done so well by me.

It does, surprisingly!

But again, it’s hate coming from axis mains I believe. Those who tried to compare it to BAR a2, or better lmg.

Now, having said all this. Once you get beretta m38 (40rnds). Well, there’s just no contest anymore. You can…

Snipe with it. In full auto. With it’s high… recoiless rof.

I don’t get why Italy is so deserted in Tunisia. Their stuff is really good… maybe it’s because it’s less “flashy”?

The m38 is plenty flashy, its a sexy smg and very good practically aswell. Maybe because its in berlin it makes more sense to get it there.

I already have it in berlin and moscow (20 round) but I want it on an actual italian squad.

Honeslty a max level tunisia lineup is very scary…cant wait to have m38s and schrecks for the sherman spam.

Panzer IV in 2 more levels

Ohoh, poor Sherman.

They are food for pz4 in Tunisia atm.

Simply because they’re not used seeing them. Most of their few tanker opponents are the sexy AB41. So they act cocky and roll into the open…

To get one shotted by any regular pz4 tanker.

The Shreck is really funny too.

As for the m38, I guess it’s because we see it in other campaigns, where there’s much, much better. Ppl overlook it. Moscow one is meh, thought. When you get Kiraly or mkb… even mp40 is more desirable because of the 32 rounds :thinking:

Eh I’m so bored at work… I wanna play…

I thought this is already long confirmed.

The nationality is actually depending on the squad. Even a Ital in a German squad can be turned into a German and vice versa, same goes to the Allies.
