New premium squads inbound!

So, a post that has just gone out on Facebook announcing 4 premium squads (and 3 new campaign levels) for the Moscow Campaign

Two squads are aircraft fighter squadrons, while the other two are Engineer squads armed with an Arisaka bolt action or an M/29? Bolt action.

Interesting, but my fear is that will they be able to build MG nests or will they be Engineer 1s?

Personally I wouldn’t mind if they would have the option to put MG nest. Remember that there will be only 4 of them in comparison to free engineer squads.
But another nice thing to see is finally premium squad that is not running around with only automatic weapons. A step into right direction.

I don’t like the bomber squad getting 3 mortars
Mortars are for shitters who sit outside the map for welfare kills

I think that it might be a mistake in translation from Russian to English. And those will be 3 bombers, not mortars.

I really don’t know who is going to buy these squads only with 4 guys. I really hope they revisit the topic of putting regular soldiers to these prem squads. But we revisited this topic too many times already, I really don’t want another popcorn time.

I assumed that was a typo

Honestly, if they make it back up to the standard size, I hope they remove at least two of the premium people and give you the choice of how to build the squad.
Having 7 machine gunners or SMGs in one squad was just stupid.
Even if you could build a premium squad to be 2 x prem, and then add in a radio/engy, an assaulter rifles, would be better

I did too, but you never know

SMG squads should have the four assaulters and 3 extras
Prem LMGs should have 2-3 MGs and the rest extras
Absolutely no excuse now that the premium soldiers are on par with normal dudes
As it stands they really aren’t worth buying.
The normandy ones for $9 for 4 guys is the most reasonable price for post nerfbat premium squads

cant wait to roll with two artillery squads.

They share a cooldown so don’t get ahead of yourself

With 30 sec cooldown, the fact it is shared is irrelevant anyway :grinning: But I´m glad we are seeing non-automatic premium squads as well.

Wonder how high they’re going to set Arisaka Type 38 rate of fire.

Because surely it will have weaker damage than any other rifle in game, with lowest muzzle velocity (if we ignore the Berdan) and lowest caliber (6.5mm)?

the point is, i can spawn with artillery again once the first squad is dead

Wow you’re absolute scum then

So THIS is why i can even get out of my spawn in a lot of matches. Because of people like you simply clicking once and getting fuckloads of free kills.

I more have a problem with the constant dumbass stun effect than outright dying tbh

currently there is only one arty squad ingame and if you spawn at none player build spawnpoints you cant get nuked, as they are outside of the artillery reach. However if you get spawncamped by arty it is you making the mistake to spawn at a player build spawn that has been spottet by the enemy. Thats why you build those inside buildings.

Oh god i forgot about that. Being unable to even aim and therefore being sniped because i cant shoot first. Truely the epitome of gameplay.

Wow you’re an arty spammer and don’t even know you can lock people in their spawn by constantly dropping on their approach
AND you’re unironically victim blaming
Incredible
