No worries mate, I don’t think your flaming anything. It is a discussion after all.
As for me, I considered buying the PPD-40 squad for Berlin, but when I bought the Normandy Trooper squads (Both allies and axis) and found out they only had 4 soldiers, I ultimately decided not to get it. After all, over time your premium squads become kinda redundant as you have better gameplay options available. Sure, you get XP bonus with the premium squads, but that bonus is offset by the benefit of having more soldiers to use in non-premium squads. Hence, some player such as myself would prefer to use free squads which offer more manpower and more overall combat effectiveness. Which in short, is not good i a business standpoint. Gameplay wise, well… you decide as it’s up to each player to decide which is best, and what I described above is my viewpoint.
One possible solution could work as follows: You would still have to unlock new squad slots for engineers, radio operators or similar on premium squads. From there you could just make it to where the said premium soldiers (EG: Assaulters) have the premium bonuses and the other troops (Except maybe engineers) are just ordinary troops with normal XP gain.
My only worry here is that it already borders on p2w too much. They intented these squads to be worse to avaoid that, with trade off being more xp and unique weapons.
But seeing how in Normandy we got 2 (4 with firefly weeks ago) premium squads added, and only 2 free campaigns levels to match it i’m not getting my hopes up.
New squads coming with engineers to milk whales even more, so they will just power creep new squads making them more and more like normal ones. There will be no disadvantage to them.
For me it would be too much p2w if they get same number of soldiers, but i would like You guys to have at least option to get some specialist in premium squads, just not being 9 man doomstacks.
I think the Churchill tank should have been added to Tunisia? Also the Lewis gun in Moscow instead of Tunisia again?
Also, with the increased numbers of campaigns levels, we are getting in absurd territory levels of XP grind. It’s jut not normal. I like new content but needs to be scaled down. It’s whatever for older players but new players will have a miserable time.
On a side note, I rarely find myself using rifles that have grenade attachments, generally the reload and adjusting the barrel is too long and too much of a hassles, they don’t translate to good gameplay.
So you’ll be updating old premium squads that were already overpriced to be in line with the new ones right?
Or is this just a fuck you to people who paid into the game previously
The axis paper planes vs the allied (spec russian) planes is very unbalanced due to the allied having stronger firepower and way more health and / or damage absorbation almost across the board.
Try flying in Moscow and do some air combat and you shall see.

Ps. Btw, don’t fly too close to the ground as axis tho, one mosin shot can cause orange or yellow parts, that is if they don’t just headshot you through the plane.
