Increase Assaulters, Radios, Mortars, and Flamethrowers by One

I feel the base amount of the Assaulters, Radios, Mortars, and Flamethrowers in their respective squads should be increased…….by one.

I have long felt the amount of Assaulters should be increased. I find it funny that Assaulters are limited to just 4 while Riflemen can have a whole 9 armed with automatic rifles. I’ve thought Assaulters should be increased 5-7. But at the very least it should be 5. The Assault’s cousins Medic and Guerilla have 5 soldiers. Premium/ event squads would be increased as well for parity. 5 Assaulters

Radio Operators, Mortars, and Flamethrowers should also be increased by 1 bringing their total to 3 in their respective squads. Every other specialist squad has 3 of its class. 3 Snipers, 3 MGs, 3 ATs. Premium and event squads typically have 4 of their respective class so that they have 1 more than the basic squad. The Premium/ event Radio squads and the premium Flamethrower British and Italian squads have 4 units.

So increase the amount of Assaulters, Radios, Mortars, and Flamethrowers in their squad by 1. So 5 Assaulters and 3 Radios, Mortars, and Flamethrowers.

Well, being that assaulters are my favorite squads, I would agree. At the very least, put an option of a medic in more squads as that is like adding one more assaulter, he just can’t carry additional ammo.

New premium squads already have their SMG or MG on engineer or even Gunner.
They don’t need any change.

The real problems in full power SF rifle shouldn’t be use as automatic all the time.
So SF have to be change, not assaulter.
Or low BR will just get dominant by assaulter.

Fair point but typically Premium squads have an extra squad member of its squad type in addition to the Engineer. 4 MGs and 1 MG armed Engineer, 4 Radio, why do Assaulters need to be specifically persecuted

If we want to get crazy we could say Premium Assault squads should have 6 Assaulters (if the base is increased to 5) plus their Engineer for a total of 7 (Not gonna lie it does sound cool)

Either Special Assault squads would be like Special Riflemen squads in that they only have all of their class (just 5 Assaulters with their unique weapon) and nix the Engineer

Or Special squads can get their composition customized and it seems like we’re moving in that direction. Maybe one wants 4 Assaulters, 1 Engineer, 1 AT, and 1 Radio, maybe I want 5 Assaulters

Regardless I feel Premium/ Event Assaulters should have 5 Assaulters at the very least. I don’t count the SMG armed Engineer or Medic. It says Assaulter on the tin so it should be Assaulter
