Question about premium tank squads

So if someone was to buy one of these squads below, can they use a different tank or are they locked to the tank they are purchased with? I’m wondering if buying either of these allows another floating squad I can use with campaign acquired tanks.

I realize the purchased tank can only be used by the purchased squad.

Cant switch them, Panzerdriver are the Only PremiumSquad that can switch the Guns.
All others are not changeable.

Premium Squads are the most Worth when You are LvL1, and even the Worst and cheapest give Double XP. got 56 Premium Squads now

Feel Free to Ask before You Buy.
Best Squads are the Bundless BTW.

yup, the more you advance into campaign, the more obsolete premiums become ( with a exception or two). Not sure who would take IV J with some tracks thrown on it (with no side plates) over Panther. Tho Stug, if commanded by a skilled player, can be a serious game changer.

Thank you guys. I’m glad I asked rather than buying one to try and figure this out.

Back playing Company of Heroes the stug was very fun as the cupola MG would suppress infantry if you had 3 or more stugs. Its a shame they choose not to include the cupola mg for the stugs. The complete lack of machine guns makes it seem like candy for enemy infantry. They did have them as shown in the below photo. Its odd since apparently Warthunder’s stug had them.

That the StuG is a premium squad is already a slap in the face for the players. One of the most common things, hidden behind a paywall is just a shame to be honest.
Besides, any tank already free to play with another camouflage as a premium squad for 50 bucks and more is just beyond ridiculous but I guess some people are willing to buy it.
If you want some decent tanks, take the ones in sale in Berlin. They are quite good.

Can’t agree with this more. The Stug being a premium squad AND not having an mg of any sort is ridiculous and should be mended. Premium or not, I’d buy it in a heartbeat if it had an mg for nostalgia. Imagine playing a tank only vehicle when you can be 1 shot by anyone over level 5 with a pack of TNT. Historically they had an MG with a protective shield, as seen in above photo.

The fact that they neglected this isn’t just unfortunate, it’s losing them money. Making any vehicle that is helpless against infantry in a game with AT weapons rampant is silly. This should be mended / added! Especially when it actually had the cupola MG w/ cover…

While they are at it, the 3rd MG modeled on many of these tanks should become functional. They’d aim just like the Stalingrad flame tanks, just if the cursor is out of range of the gun it doesn’t fire.

Premium squad of tank troops, can only use their own tank. However, the advantage is that, unlike premium infantry units, tank troops can carry a full set of different small arms.
