i agree.
7 assaulters was ridicolous, and not historical at all.
but you know, at least bring someone else. in order to be an utility.
as decard said, 4 it’s more situational when you find more veterans players having 9 troopers at 5 stars.
but we’ll see.
I’ve always just wanted an engineer. 4+1 engineer would be good but I can see an argument against it
I would love to see the day where that becomes viable meta.
I don’t think so. You pay the same and get less.
duh?
normandy?
place them behind a wall, and they will shread entire hordes of enemies.
or at least that’s what happens with my two soldiers of 5 stars.
they are like a normal player, but on steroid if starres at someone for more than 0.5 sec
If you have the same # of spots as normal squads but you can train engineers/troopers etc I think it’s a fair trade
i mean, engineers are not that " OP " as people claim.
( which fortunally, not alot of them ).
after all, they don’t run around with automatics weapons.
and resourches are limited even if your whole squad is made of engys.
( sorry, i meant to @ the other guy )
Napoleonic era strikes back.
Engineers are not OP in the micro win sense (killing others)
They are OP as hell in the macro win sense tho (winning matches)
The most OP guns for good AI are definitely semi autos and LMGs due to one hit potential and the AIs laser accuracy
A small 5 man squad with 4 assaults and one engineer would be fine to me. You can atleast help the team and set up beacons
Q.E.D
This is absolutely the way to go.
Removing player frustration and rewarding time spent leads to retention of playerbase and gives you more time to work on bugs and events.
Now they need to address issues with the battlepass and we’ll be golden.
well that sucks. Not for all the other stuff I agree with almost everything this nerf is doing, except preventing us to level new troopers faster with the squad. Now I don’t even want to use my premiums as they just take up a slot I could be using with troopers to level them. Kind of disappointed at that, then again its the classic “gaijin introduces something overpowered, waits until the LAST possible moment then nerfs it to shit”. Happens all the time in war thunder so im not suprised it happened here
They were not levelling any faster, they were leveling at their class speed. The difference is that we still had extra 3 places to level them up and squad was stronger overall.
It may harm future premium squads sales but at least it is a radical step against P2W claims.
What a load of horseshit, they made the squads utterly useless
Give me a damn refund if you’re making the game free anyway
you can submit a request via the gaijin support page and see what they say. at the very least you are getting visibility.
welp my request was submitted, if the premium squads are gonna be worthless might as well not even have them lol
I did the same.
