New premium squad to be added tomorrow + squad nerfs

Not asking for advantages. Fine with all the other nerfs. But I used it to boost my other soldiers through the levels

25

Keep in mind that most squads are receiving a nerf in max squad size in OBT. Let’s first see how that plays out before changing prem squads any further.

Yeah I kinda dislike the additional men being removed.
At least lock them to troopers only if anything.
Other than that it’s a 10/10 change

Sure, that is why I wrote

But like @5762269 said, lets see how it will play out for now.

So what are we paying 30$ for? Just uniqueness with no real other benefits for the rest of the soldiers?

Maybe the price will be lowered after reworked squads come to the store. It would be absurd anyway without CBT access that should be the main part of their price right now.

uniqueness. Which is fine by me.

The SMG Premium squads contain a bonus that boosts all exp by double if they are used in battle…or so that’s what the description in-game says.

32

For 30$? Nah that’s way over priced. Should speed up training likes tanks do for crews in WT or WOT

Time to decrease the “premium” squad’s price?
30USD now is really too expensive. And even as "support developer“, 30USD per squad is also too much.
Also, more kinds of premium squads are comming, TONS OF.

BTW, Im gonna create a new thread. My previous one are "hiden”

I am not sure, but they might be giving +100% campaign leveling speed.
If they don’t, I suppose that could be a neat stat to add to them without hurting anyone.

I see it as only the soldiers used in the squad and EXP towards the campaign. I could be wrong though

36

Has anyone found any guns in the files that may be premium?
Probably Normandy related, probably LMGs.

Normal Squad
Can train new soldiers
Large combat mass
Can be equipped with different weapons
Can reach max level (veterancy)

PrEmIuM SqUAd
Can’t train people
Small combat mass
can’t be equipped with anything else
hard capped and cant reach max level

These are dead ass worse in every single way. Not, hey we made these completely on par with normal squads, We nerfed them into the ground. There’s legit no reason to use these and you’ll be dragging your side down if you do.

›He can’t kill 30 dudes with a single MP41 guy
For shame, ghost.

But I get where you’re coming from.
Considering they’re willing to adjust them, they might make further changes

Mind you, normal squad sizes are getting nerfed as well. These will still provide a 4th assaulter while the other squad provides only 3. Sidegrades.

How useful is a starter rifle if your SMG is worse than the one of the premium squad? Sidegrades again.

But won’t be max level right of the bat.

How I see it, they are now more or less sidegrades, or slight downgrades in the late game. However, they will be slight upgrades in the early game to get you started, as they should always be.

You sure about this? Pretty sure it’s the opposite.

Generic infantry for instance will have 9 instead of 7.

Trooper squad is the only exception. Look at the right most column down below:
trooper is buffed, all squads except assault / MG / flame got size nerfed, while most squads also got their amount of specialists, aka assaulters for assaulter squad etc reduced.

16 Squad size without upgrades (previously - 4) Amount of additional slots for soldiers that can be researched (previously - 3) Maximum squad size after all improvements (main and other classes) (previously - 7)
17 trooper 5 4 9
18 sniper 3 2 5
19 assault 4 3 7
20 engineer 4 2 6
21 radioman 3 2 5
22 antitank 4 2 6
23 machinegun 4 3 7
24 mortar 4 2 6
25 flamethrower 4 3 7

Honestly I am thrilled to no longer having to feel bad for others when using them :slight_smile:
finally I can enjoy the unique experience I paid for while still being challenged into using my brain while playing :stuck_out_tongue:
