Not only are you basically getting almost nothing back for selling those squads, it is even possible to sell them by accident.
Everything that can be sold, should also be possible to be bought back.
The idea that the solution to the confusing amount of squads is in deleting those squads … that is pure laziness. You literally could have created a system that lets you hide unwanted or highlight wanted squads.
I have just talked to a guy who sold his squad by accident - locking him away from weapon upgrades for this specific type of squad. This is unacceptable.
I am in agreement with the ability to upgrade guns purchased in the past for discontinued weapons.
Although, frankly, we were given months advance notice that stalingrad will be nuked along with the merge, along with weapons you could only have acquired while it was still up.
If you didn’t stock up on the number of guns you needed, or upgraded them beforehand, especially with Stalingrad’s economics, that’s on you.
That’s nonsense. He accidentally sold a squad and now he can’t upgrade his weapon because of it.
This has nothing to do with some kind of advance.
Literally no one even wanted to be able to sell squads before the developers came up with it. Even creepier that they told us to our faces how plenty of people were asking for this option.
They are liars who “solved” the problem with bad UI in the worst possible way and care absolutely nothing about the consequences.
I completely disagree with your post. As someone playing this game for two+ years, I was thrilled to reclaim massive amounts of silver through dumping squads that are redundant AND so many soldiers I could not get rid of before. Yes there was minor impact the devs can fix but besides that, sell at your own discretion and your choice. Having the choice beats having none
A specific icon you need to press to initiate selling a squad.

And a big unique UI warning informing you of the consequences of selling a squad, along with its irreversibility.
Spoiler
The only takeaway I’m getting from this is
Guy makes a mistake, expects game to address it for him
In the first place, selling squads is something voluntarily initiated by the player. You don’t ask the ice cream man to give you another ice cream because you slipped and fell on the curb.
You don’t just delete a squad and then get the right to complain about not being able to unlock the upgrade levels of a weapon whose upgrades are tied to the said squad because you neglectfully sold it.
There’s no way he can’t upgrade a weapon just because he accidentally sold a squad that he can’t get back now.
Without the game warning him that if he sells the squad, he won’t be able to upgrade the weapon.
This has absolutely nothing to do with them announcing that the breda would become a legacy weapon.
It’s about this whole situation which they did not even think of.
If you can find a way to incorporate more than 2 mortar squads, flamesquads and others that are absolutely not necessary with a 2 queue (BR1-3 / BR3-5) system and cling to your soldiers and squads you will probably never use, go for it. I don’t have a single regret dumping squads I’ll never use after coming up with every preset I want with each country. There was a lot of fat to trim and I got my silver worth. You are looking at a single cost for dumping a squad when it’s more than that. Like others said, the most precious thing in the long run will be the cool emblem or anything remotely unique from Stalingrad, most everything else is completely redundant
They should give us the ability to upgrade our legacy weapons and soldiers without any squad upgrades. Because I didn’t need the legacy squads and I sold them but later realised I needed the squads to upgrade my m93 rifles.
Weapon upgrades are tied to the squads themselves.
That’s why they had to made a bunch of unsellable tech tree squads where everyone’s upgrade progress across all the legacy squads were consolidated.
Except for the now-discontinued stalingrad exclusive gear, who otherwise don’t get their upgrade levels tied to any of the post-merge consolidated permanent squads.
It’s a discontinued gun whose upgrade progress is tied to a discontinued squad, which was sold.
