Once you max the last USA assaulter squad, there’s SEVEN surplus points… the usual is 2 or 3.
I can bet USA will get a better toy, along Pershings!

Oh boy oh boy let’s hope it’s something good so the Kraut mains can complain about how good it is. I want something to toy with them and lord over their heads as something “better” than their StG
On a more serious note, let’s hope it’s something other than a Thompson. I love the gun to death, but dang some variety would be nice
Same for new US fighter squad, you’ll get 5 additional points there.

F-82 when? Lol
I think it should be some form of assault rifle. They created a fantasy AR class (best in game) for Sovs, just because. I don’t see why allies wouldn’t get their own.
Interesting. Typhoons?

Love me some Typhoon. So many planes it could be…wonder if they are going for High BR or low BR fighters…wouldnt be suprised if a Bearcat shows up

I hope they’ll add tanker IV squad. Otherwise you won’t be able to take any 76mm tank (with exception of m10) in the same line up with Pershing.

If I could, I’d bring both Pershings.
But I guess they will be in folders…
Same. It was unnecessary but certain commieboos complained and wanted better things than their opponents. Now Sovs is a proto faction.
Opened the door for Japan, also a proto faction and… Sadly USA.
Plot twist, USA will get m14 rifle. But it’s fine because it was made around 10 yrs after ww2 only!
(It’s war thunder. We will get many eras

It doesn’t matter if they’re in folders.
But it depends on what squad they’re assigned to. Which if devs don’t add tankers IV, they will be assigned to III. Which is pretty sad.
The Americans can’t even take two shermans 76 to one lineup (because they are all locked to only one single squad), meanwhile the Germans can take several tigers or pathers to one lineup (if they have legacy squads).

Well you can’t bring more than two Tigers I and Tiger II - because they are locked in Tiger squads, Panthers have their own squads + legacy squads from other campaigns.
The question really is what squads them Pershings could fit into without taking away useful tanks - for Germany you can bring a Panthers as a third vehicle- though funnily enough a regular Tiger would probably be the worse pick because it has less armor and penetration power. Also Panthers are BR4.
The situation for German vehicles is nice, probably by accident tho.
Br6 might be Korean war phase tho or at least close to it I guess since WW2 do have cool stuff but probably not enough to last to br6+

I was more thinking br 6 can be the buffer between ww 2 and korea…
Fantasy BR 5 shit can reside there
I think the vehicle limitation to certain squad shouldn’t be a thing. It’s just stupid. Why 1 faction out of 4 can cycle pretty powerful vehicles meanwhile other factions cant?
Not for me, since I hate reverse slowness of Panthers.

US weapons during Korean war where almost the same as in ww2. Only change were Jets and newer tanks, But infantry weapons were still Garand/M2 Carbine/M1919…
And the Soviet have like dp27 during that war too from the picture I have seen anyway but then again it probably gonna be as sweaty as current br5 (if they ever add it that is)

Well my overall point is that Panthers and Tigers should both be BR4, and 76 Shermans being BR5 is even more ludicrous.

Shermans 76 are still way superior to chi nu which is also (like Panther/tiger) BR4 xD
Chi nu should be BR3, maybe even BR2. It’s basically equivalent to Pz IV F2.

Well then maybe they should be BR3 instead yeah.

Sorry to ruin your expectations, but these surplus points means nothing honestly, definitely not hinting any “new toys” for a squad. These points are simply leftovers from squad changes post merge update.
When there was another major update after THE MERGE update, that added few new weapons and vehicles to older squads, they simply added extra levels to these squads even though they were already having more levels than upgrades available.
Here are some “extreme” examples of such squads that got added new weapon/vehicle with even more levels for a squad that they didn’t need:
So after checking every single squad in the game (I have it all maxed out) there are like 8 old squads with 0 surplus points at max level in all nations combined for like hundreds of squads in the entire game, of course I did not count new post merge squads that end with 0 points (mainly for Japan).

Weird, since only new post merge squads do have such high number of spare points.
Btw. The US assaulters IV will definitely get a new weapon in future. Currently there’s only one weapon linked to them
