More Assaulters

The amount of Assaulters in Assault squads should be increased. The latest Guerillas who are a Assault-like squad have 5. Medic squads who can carry assault weapons have 5 members, Medics! So the original Assault squad should have more Assaulters

It should at the very least be 5 Assaulters. But if they are open to be increased then they could be 5-7 Assaulters

Premium and event Assault squads will be updated as well

Sure, but Assaulters also can utilise AT, Arty, and Engineers, so they have more options available than Medics or Guerrilas.

they also have three non assault soldiers
guerillas can have five assaulters but they only have five soldiers,
so if you want five assaulters that should be it for the entire squad

Like I said I can settle for at least 5

Though the Soviets had entire squads of 8 sub machine gunners, and the Germans had 8 Volksgrenadiers :wink:

and infantry squads had 12 riflemen but this is enlisted

god no, i remember when premium squads had 7 assaulters and that was aids (4 premium soliders, 3 regular soldiers)

Yes but its about being analogous to real life. But of coarse there’s the debate of “balance” so its about finding a reasonable middle

I think it should be at least 5, I can settle for 5. But I think 6 would be fine. I can understand why 7 seems too much

5, fair
6, better
7, big ask

Personally I could see myself leaning more towards 6 in that Assault units in real life were basically shock infantry as opposed to regular rifle infantry. So 6 is more soldiers for an infantry squad. It would differentiate them from Guerillas and Medics. Guerillas are special forces that had surgical operations, Medics are supposed to heal the team; so Assaulters are supposed to attack the objective as a riflemen would

not always, russians had 9 men teams and 9 men SMG teams. germans were around 11, USMC is 12, US army is 12 iirc, britian is 10, italy is 11 and japan is 13

the trouble is more the ration, you need that two to one or close to it rifleman to assaulter, so if you increase assaulters you just have to increase riflemen, otherwise the riflemen become obsolete

i know riflemen have better range but at the range of most battle assaulters can reach out half to two thirds of it

So back then Premium squads had the full team squad size? I’d say the issue is more that they just give every soldier in a premium/ event squad the same weapon regardless of class.

Honestly I think being able to customize Premium/ event squad plus having said squads have their full size would be cool. I mean what are they but just a squad with a unique weapon you can’t regularly unlock. They’re just novelties. But I’d say they don’t have to just give every single soldier the same weapon.

So in this case you would have a premium Assault squad and only the Assaulters in the squad have the unique weapon, every other soldier is customizable to the limits of their class. So you would have 4 Assaulters with the unique assault rifle and the other 3 Riflemen have whatever rifles you give them

….of coarse my suggestion is still to add at least 5-7 Assaulters so it’s adjusted accordingly. So basically with my suggestion Assault squads would only be able to have 1 to 2 other classes

nope it was regular soliders that could carry any TT weapon that their class can carry so
4 premium assaulters with the unique weapon
3 TT weapons usually drum ppd or Mp40s

same thing with MG squads too
