The REAL problem is that there is not enough progression for squads so they drag out the little they have.
I’ve only been eager to distribute soldier perks for the first few hours of gameplay, now I hardly do it at all.
And the squad upgrade tree is mostly linear as well. Clicking those upgrades has no weight whatsoever and doesn’t do anything to my gameplay. Frankly, most of them are just “reduce the grind by a bit” fillers.
Also, the Legacy squads that are now the main tree squads still have those expensive/excessive XP requirements. I needed to grind 2 AT gunner II squads at the same time to “quickly” level up my US AT gunner II’s, one Legacy one and the main tree one and both were around 20k XP per level at level 4.
It’s really awkward cause you have case’s like the New US/Japan Assaulter IV’s being 2-3k xp per level, meanwhile the German/Soviet Assaulter IV’s are still 20k per level. Or a better example I have screenshots for (Since I’ve maxed all Assaulter IV squads) The Soviet Fighter III squad requiring double the XP per level, compared to the new Japanese Fighter III Squad, WHICH IS AT A HIGHER LEVEL!
