The more of them, the more inadequate they behave.Will anyone tell me why they have such a high price?For what?
Do you add more soldiers to your non premium squads as you progress or no?
If you do, like… Everyone of us.
Price a side. What we are asking, is for the same option on premium squads. Exacly the same option. No more. No less.
Having this option, I wouldn’t mind 50 euros for a premium smg squad.
Well. At the end the premium engineers are the best deal by now since you get a fully upgraded Engineer II squad.

i would like to agree.
but i can’t.
40 dollars for just an engy squad with 4 dudes, it is not.
especially if we consider the normandy ones for the germans where they literally get a g41 and a paratrooper helmet with default uniforms ( the same that the mortar squad of default should have by entire months )
the muricans ones, are cool, but those should be worthed 20/25s, not 40s.

That’s true. Highly recommendable on all campaigns.
I mean ofc they are still expensive AF.
But consider that you have the choice between tanks (idk if the sandbags are working as intended since the side skirts of German tanks are already not working against HEAT wahrheads), a useless plane for the Germans and two overpriced SMG squads… at least they are usefull.
I just own the Berlin ones by now. The Moscow squads are boring with their BA rifles.
Attach an engineer to each of them and I would dust them off to actually help my team.
Bomber squad that contains engineers able to build 88 guns…
Eheh I dream.
As for vehicles squads, devs choice is a bit weird. Some are completely pay to win (the valentine in Moscow is a terror, it cannot be penned by any tank and the gun it uses is better than those in Tunisia even if it’s supposedly the same, uparmoured jumbo with better shells than the free one, pz4 with better shells than the free one in Normandy) Some are just worthless ripoff (pz4 in moscow is IDENTICAL to the free one, different skin. Should be a gold order vehicle. Pz4 in Berlin… what? Why pricier than a panther?)
Yeah… they need to rework premiums.

Or Premium fighters which do not have rockets or bombs.
Nope… Why he is IDENTICAL?
Same ammo, same “armour”… you simply get a winter skin and a fancy iron cross flag on your turret.

You not have HE but have cumulative(or how it?),cumulative can very easy penetrate t50,what can say about other tanks.You can test it .
I find it funny how this conversation is about reverting premium squads to what they were in CBT or not. People were complaining back then about them being OP and it was pointless to use the non-premium squad because of them. Now we are talking about the premium squads being pointless because there’s no reason to use them instead of the non-premium squad. Hopefully they’ll find a way to balance it out though.

You miss read. It’s not about having premium as they were (9 assaulters guys all with smgs with TWO bp slots)
It’s having them JUST AS GOOD as REGULAR free ones, with the +100% xp bonus.
This I don’t mind, it’s a sidegrade. Better air fighting capability at the cost of ground support.

But 50 shekels?
And also you earn a shit with pure dogfighting compared to bombing
Oh I agree the price is absolutely bonkers, and the xp reward for simply taking out planes is low.
I mostly meant it’s not pay to win as this doesn’t give a tremendous advantage over free squads, unlike say Valentine in Moscow or sandbag better shells jumbo in Normandy.

The sandbags are working?
Not certain (in theory they should add armour, same way with some tanks that add thread pieces on)
But it also DOES have better shells. As such it isn’t a sidegrade, but something BETTER than the original, free vehicle. It makes it pay to win.
It’s silly from the devs to add such ptw vehicles but at the same time let all infantry premium squads in a subpar situation, inferior to any regular squads.
I fail to understand DF reasoning behind this.

I also think that we will never face vehicle modifications.
100% agree they need a rework.
Also a reduction in price would be nice.
What I’d like to see:
-
Same amount of troops and squad upgrade flexibility as non premium.
-
The ability to train other troops of the same kind inside that squad to speed up ranking process would make their process more worthwhile at endgame levels.
