New event Chinese squad should not receive any specialists.
The justification is quite simple. It’s ruining balance between this new squad and all previous event/premium 9 men rifleman squads.
It’s an obvious power creep.

How is creating artificial disparity between old and new stuff for the best?
In that case they should add two another soldier slots for those specialists to old squads. And let’s screw with everyone who didn’t get those squads. As they would be the only 11 men squads in the game.
If this dumb decision is okay, this should be considered okay as well… :))
Cause why neuter new rifleman squads when it’s making them even less functional when all premium and event squads now get a engineer and at gunner

They simply can’t. They never figured out how to replace the premium/event soldiers in the old premium/event squads.
They can only add bonus slots for another non-premium/non-event soldier.
And thus increase total number of soldiers in the squad.
That’s why all old premium/event rifleman squads are now outdated.
And I doubt they will do anything about it.
I’m talking about moving forward NKVD, Lewis gun, and mo18 have engineers and at gunners. It’s no the new squads fault Gajin decided now that premium and event squads get specialists

im happy to go equip them, they just need to make the option be there
As far as I know, these squads are not riflemen.
Not a single premium/event rifleman squad did get specialists up until now.
And it’s very likely they won’t ever get them.
Yeah moving forward they should have specialists
That’s just powecreep.
If they wanted to do this, they should have addresed this change to the old squads somehow.
But they don’t bother to do that as it would require too much effort. And they don’t really care. They’re just hoping that it will pass unnoticed.
That’s what I don’t like about it. This happens all the time. Consistently. It’s frustrating and annoying.
I’m sorry they’re lazy

I agree for a similar but different reason. I don’t know about others but I like having each squad fulfill its role, I don’t mix and match classes because otherwise why do we have squads in the first place. For example, why have a Radio squad if every squad can have a radio OP
My point is for me a Riflemen squad should just have Riflemen.
I hope they change it
actually riflemen are the only class not versatile as the other one. they don’t deserve to being buy unless you want 9/8 exact copie of the same gun and if you want destroy an tank,build rall or call radio it’s simple you just need to change squad …
Again that is the point of every squad having a role and playstyle
each squad got more specialisation , radio call heavy bomber and so on. infantry squad are just here for getting farmed and being useless in assisting the team.if you like losing a squad for each time you want switch betwen building ,destroying tank or call an arty strike it’s your choice
Ok I’ll give you a personal example. I don’t know about others but I actually bipod with MGs to lay down suppressive fire. I don’t give them radios, AT, or nothing because the MGs role is fire support. My MG set up is usually 3 MG and 3 Riflemen as in real life MGs were pair operated. Snipers are usually 2 Snipers and 2 Riflemen because Snipers usually were in pairs with a spotter. Now I know a game doesn’t have to be 200% realistic but I like some levels of immersion so I have my system.
To me Riflemen are the standard infantry. Their job is to attack/ defend objectives with their high body count. Since these squad types are the entire core of the game I feel each should perform the role they have to. If I want to use Radio I bring a Radio squad, if I want to heal the team I bring Medic, etc etc
I know many players prefer the jack of all trades option where every squad is decked to the max but I feel that lessens the entire point of the squad. For example, what’s the point of the Radio squad if every squad can add a Radio and now they can call in smoke and supply drops too.
I also don’t choose my squads based on being the best of the best. I like variety and doing different roles. Maybe I’m the
- Riflemen
- Medic
- Mortar
- Light tank
guy or the
- Assault
- Sniper
- Flamethrower
- self propelled gun
guy or the
- Guerilla
- Rider
- Paratrooper
- tank destroyer
guy. I view it like every player in the team brings their deck to the table
since we have a limited number of squad the jack of all trades is the most judicious pick
