Premium squads kinda pointless

most of the premium squads are kinda point less,
im seeing less and less of them, and very rarely see premium vehicles
other then offering extra campaign XP they offer nothink other then a extra squad that is small
please make them better?

weather it be allowing us to

  • add to/customise the squads
  • give squad XP to other squads
  • unlock the premium cosmetics for soldier customisation
  • letting us change out the vehicles to put them into the free squads

I don’t know how all the guns behave after the latest weapon rebalance, but

If you gave me for free Moscow’s Pz IV w/ HEAT, laser Lewis squad, laser MG-13 squad; Normandy’s Firefly, Sherman, Kiraly squad, laser BAR squad, Moscow’s laser AS-44 and STG-45 squad (although I would have to give up my dignity for using fantasy weapons) - I would take and use them all over aything else I have in the campaign, no questions asked.

So I really don’t think they’re pointless.
Not exactly Pay-2-Win but definitely Pay-2-Have-Better-Stuff.

Premium squad need only the possibility to add other specialist

I have them both and I can tell you that, while still good, they’re definitely not lasers anymore.

Dispersion feels increased, let’s say within a ā€œreasonableā€ yet tangible level.

You can’t just snipe with them anymore, even when mounted you may need to fire a short burst to make sure you score a hit on a soldier further than 50m.

Static, engineer-built MG nests feel still accurate tho. But they got their firing arcs partially nerfed.

That’s good to hear. Those things used to feel like Spetsnaz AK-12s with the range of 1 km, 0 recoil and 1 second reload.

Yes. Please allow us to change the class of at least soldier per premium squad (or preferably, 1 soldier per 4 in a squad) into engineer / bomber / radio operator / gunner / sniper.

I have insisted update since open beta released
Premium squads are fcking small
And no engineer so damn less utility
Especially old squads those are worse than recent event squads

It need to update something like add specialist (engineer etc)
Or release weapons at least then we can use weapons at other normal squad

I’m using full upgraded weapons normally.
Premium squads are useless.
Double XP? you cannot make all your squads fully upgrade before reaching campaign max level

Premiums squads got neutered hard after CBT. They should come with at least one specialist upgrade like current premium and event squads. Hell, since premium squads cost a crap ton they should have their own squad slot. I absolutely despise not being able to play a fair chunk of premium squads I own in battles.

I think myself and @Shiivex have been clamoring for this as well.

The new squads they release and the event squads only reinforce the fact that the old premium squads are very much lacking.

F2P Player cry alot about these Slots, the most p2w inGame are the Squadslots.

I have bn asking for this for a long long long time.

Multiple times.

Let’s hope one day they find a way to make this possible. Would make my squads worth using and ofcorse I would buy more of them.

I always look at the Erma squad in normandy and wish it had a engineer and I would get it In a heartbeat.

One day I wish I see a make enlisted a better place, ā€œwe added a engineer on every premium squad that didn’t had oneā€. And even if they keep the same prices, I can say for certain they would sell way more of them.

There’s a response from keo on another topic the other day that he doesn’t know if it’s possible to change current form on old premium squads.

The cbt to obt change its understandable they could since they reset everything.

But God. It’s like the top 1 thing I want and need in this game. Would make so much of my purchases way more worth to Pick and play with.

Right now tons of my premium squads are on reserve, and I don’t remmeber the last time I purchased one…

All it needs is a 5th member as engineer, and or a 9th one swaped as engineer on trooper squads…

I mean… Is it too much to ask for when they are worth 30-50 euros each…

And every free to play squad, even if the premium get the 5th as engineer can have yet more options. so no p2w at all.

If dev add a specialist to premium squad then you can use for grinding bronze card.
Or releasing weapons then you could use at other squads.

Point is not to feel wasting money.

IMO, premium squads should have their own permanent slots. So lets say you buy the Soviet M3, AVT 40 squad and the Arisaka squad, you’ll have your standard squad slots, plus the 3 premium squads you now own. Would it mess with balancing, probably. Would it also be considered more p2w, likely . But with how grossly overpriced premium squads are, they need more incentive for people to buy them.

it seems the devs always keeps lookin on suggestions on certain topics when they have certain topic on the table and are going to do something about it … i dont know how else could we raise their awareness about this… calling in community helper ? or who then ?

They, according to keo answer, are already aware, ence why they made the current premium interactions with the extra slot, and also according to keo, he doesn’t know if it’s possible to provide an extra soldier, or change old premium squads.
