Why is Germany the only faction that has a Premium squad available for under 1000 gold (MP 18 for 850)? If developers want people to spend money ( especially new players) why not give all factions the same opportunities?? Having an extra slot for a squad always helps…especially new players. Let’s face it…most of the Premium squads are over priced since you can only have them for one faction, at one BR and can only use it every third spawn. It puts people off for the pay2play style especially when a lot of the squads are gimmicky…except when they aren’t…why is the german halftrack not on the techtree???
Prices should be lowered to encourage more people…especially when youtubers who showcase them free complain about half of them.
Take for example, Snowrunner. One of their DLCs cost A$18.50. It includes a new map, and a bunch of new vehicles. Now look at the Silenced Thompson Pack:
- 5 Guerillas with no Engineer (basically the same as the tech tree variants for all that matters)
- a gimmicky silenced Thompson which is worse than the tech tree version
And the best part?
They expect you to pay A$55.00 for it. Vehicle squads cost even more at A$59.95. This is ludicrous. In no world should any of these DLCs cost more than even games. Case in point, Snowrunner, the whole game costs A$44.95. That is literally $10 cheaper than Enlisted DLCs.
So, for the love of God, Gaijin, please reduce full retail price to A$20.00.
Because snowrunner is a single/coop game and enlisted is a multiplayer war game, you need more to compare the prices to warthunder or world of tank/planes/warships. And it’s you’re own fault you can only play it for one faction. I like it that way but if you want to get more use out of a squad the game has to be like war thunder where any combination of tanks can play any combination of tanks on another team. There not going to drop prices just because we want to play WW2 and not some free for all with Russian squads on the same team as German squads. Skins in games are limited to a single character weapon that does not lower prices. Besides they would never refund the people who bought at full price
because the squad used to be extremely shit, it was unironically the worst SMG in the entire game because it had the highest horizontal recoil for any SMG germany had, and you got stuck with 4 assaulters and nothing else
of course they buffed the gun and the squad to carry more soldiers like an engineer now, they just never updated the price
M3 Field Gun PPD27? was also 8,50 and many more when theres sales, so dont cry … your Time will come
Still is shit and not worthy of a BR2 rating IMOP, they just removed the “extremely” part by their squad buff.
If it were a Medic squad, I would have never used it, however the only consolation is that the ammo pouch can be changed to secondary weapon where a serviceable smg can be supplied. However, the MP 18 itself should have been level one, and IMOP if they are not going to unlock the weapon, then it’s not worth very much.
It’s actually usable now and you aren’t putting yourself at an actual disadvantage for using it so there’s that
I use the squad, however with the backup ERMA EMP 44. The only time I actually fire the primary MP18 is if I run out of ammo with the EMP, or if my soldier dies and I quickly switch to the next soldier in the heat of battle where I don’t have time to switch weapons. But overall, if I could, I would dump the MP18, move the ERMA to primary weapon and go back and re add the ammo pack. Or I would use it in level one if the MP18 were dropped to level one. However, if given a choice, especially at level two I would much rather give them MP40’s then use the MP18’s. I am just grateful that it is not a Medic squad where I cannot not change the ammo pouch.
I agree but the squad gives new players the chance to cheaply bring an extra squad slot to their lineup…with an extra engineer…hopefully encouraging them to build rallies.
Premium squads are way over priced for what they are and this is a better price point. Like right now they are rotating the faction with a 4 squad sale for 5500 gold…its too bad that 3 of the 4 are garbage and one is cool and niche…still WAY over priced and thats on sale from more then 13,000 gold. Maybe if it were 4 awesome and good squads…but not like this.
Premium squads are way over priced
Yeah, they are certainly proud of their stuff and prove it by gouging us. I have bought so many squads over the past three years that a lot of their bundles I couldn’t do since I own half or 2/3 of the squads they are offering. Plus, I am sick of buying squads locked with weapons so I am stuck using it at ONLY one BR level. So, I am going to be far more picky as to what squads I buy. If I can’t use it, I’m not buying them since they are worth nothing to me if it is just going to sit in my inventory.
