Rider squads are already gimmick for the most part, but it makes the matters worse due to their rather steep experience cost:
I at least appreciate that I can play with this squad alongside a plane or a tank, but…
Is such a long way to upgrade it intentional, or are there plans to change this?
Since, I think they are too expensive for a BR 2 squad.
Old squad (legacy) compared to new on still require tons of XP like in the past, Dev are aware of it isn’t a bug or intentional
So long grind is going to stay…
Yep until this isn’t fixed grind is gonna stay for old squad
Devs going to do anything about this? And when can we see the change?
in general rider squad need a small rework <3
I say it would be better to take a look at squads XP, streamline the process of squads that are new and old to require the same amount of XP.
This would only apply to squads of the same type so a Tier 1 would require less than a teir 2, etc.
It’s difficult to figure out the sweet spot for rider squads because they’re only in two factions and they were a one off, maybe they can look at the XP needed for APC squads for the solution. Since Rider squads were “APC Driver 1” and APC Drivers were “Rider 2”. At least how it was explained to me.
Another good example is anti-tank II squads, The old squads that were grandfathered in kept their XP requirement, while the newer squads that replaced them from other factions or from later down that faction’s line required less XP.
I’d say it’s time for them to do a squad XP balance, so everything is smooth and consistent between 1, 2, 3, And in the case of squads that have them 4.
