R.I.P my Stalingrad Engi. squad. (and all those fully upgraded in other squads).
It was a good ride.

You must understand… that right there is the exact reason they’re removing the ability to equip assault rifles…

Except that such similar squads were campaign exclusive. And no one had problem about it until they (devs) lazily threw everything in the pile that is called “merge”, and saw that it suddenly became game-braking feature. It’s just another big minus for this type of merge politics.
And speaking of Stalingrad, that’s the kind of stuff people bought the Stali pack for. This is how devs advertised Stalingrad in the first place. Now they not only lied, but also take away our fun.
Sorry, but I paid money for fun. Not for frustration.

So when they are doing to remove paratroopers? There are zero reason why they want to remove those engineers except to fool our community that they are good guys now and want to save the balance, while at same time we have countless op paras and other squads.

not really.
it wasn’t exclusive to stalingrad owner access pass.
you were able to still get the first engy, and transfer mkhbs from moscow to stalingrad and assign them to those engies ( if you were a f2p ). ( and generally, to any engineers recruited in sg )

Then keep single squad for f2p players and 2 squads for FA players.

as an owner access pack ( and a certified shitter with 2 mkb engies squad in sg ), i rather that none have it for the sake of balance. not even my self.
and it’s not about opinions.
but not making end tiers less of a hell hole. ( at least not more than already it is. )
p.s.
wouldn’t have been fair in the long run.
sure, we bought SG pass.
but we got others goodies instead.
mkhb in of it self, wasn’t one.
nor the “broken” squads associated with it.
we had our fun for a while.

I would be okay if it was limited only to mkb, but all ARs is just unacceptable. And it shouldn’t be allowed.
I don’t even respect all those people who thinks it would be okay. They’re mostly just selfish powercreepers.

Balance is long time gone and not going to be fixed like ever. It will only get worse with new premium and event squads. Those engineers were pretty harmless compared to paratroopers and Tunisian Flametroopers.
Those engineers were part of our purchase, first one was free but other was only for FA players so they are taking our content yet again that we paid real money for. That’s a scam.
Yeah want to have fun buy yet another broken p2w squad for $40 each that’s the DF’s way while spitting in the faces of older customers, Enlisted atm is a definition of a power creep. Do they really expect me to pay again if i’m treated like a homeless beggar?

I was always talking about those units to retain their ability to only carry mkb42(h)/fg 42 II nothing stronger than that.

used to think the same.
but, for example, the somewhat new changes made to limit how many type of squads one can carry, i believe gaved a glimpse of hope about changing stuff due to how bad the situation has become.
therefore, devs didn’t just gave up and added more powercreep or left ars to engines.
it’s just the beginning.
with that being said, i didn’t particularly liked the fact that… premiums gets a pass.
although… it’s a 50/50. understandable, yet frustating.
i’m afraid they weren’t any less harmful than X or Y. they are just bad as such.
the test was a nightmare to play on.
no restrictions was truly awefull.
especially with sg engies with stgs and what not.
even right now mkhbs are not that bad despite the various nerfs made to it
( which, i was of the opinion that mkhbs shouldn’t never and ever have been nerfed. just limited ).
on that one.
dunno.
i’m having a swayed opinion from it.
like, at least the slots ( in theory ) will be refunded, then we’ll have our exclusive tanks, and in of it self, all the cards made with sg and already fully upgraded soldiers that we still have and kept.
those were some huge bonuses which we still get to keep in the merge too.
on the other hand, i do understand that, taking away stuff isn’t always liked.
i’m neutral about it.
although, biased.
as i took it for the slots. and faster grind.
but would be a bit foolish of someone to expect that particular xp booster would carry over in the merge given the extent and scale.
yeah… those squads should have never existed ( speaking of 100 round paras both the free and premium one, flamethrower )
but. on those, we are late and too far deep into it i’m afraid to pull them out.
i suppose they could change how the fuel would works, or change other things, but would become a legal battle and lots of backlash.

Very well said mate. I would just add what I already wrote in a slightly different thread, that this is the bottom line of this problem - that they haven’t figured out how to maintain the uniqueness of the core of the game (the campaigns) and how to intelligently perform the merge. There were plenty of suggestions from the community. Now they repairing it with damage what was already damaged 
Crazy.
This will happen very soon, and everything will be exactly the same, except that the devs will make more money from this artificially created situation. And we, who have already paid for it, will pay again. Isn’t it an amazing marketing model?

Welcome to my world. Nobody cared (maybe because it wasn’t OP weapon already, so loud powercreepers weren’t interested in) when they changed mkb35/III so it cannot be no longer equipped by vehicle crews.
I paid for this weapon with real money too.
So I don’t know why this should be any different.
If you were okay with change to mkb35 and you are not okay with this, you’re simply hypocrite.
And thinking 6 engineers running with any ARs while newbies couldn’t even get this squad anymore is okay, you have to completely mad to think that.
I don’t respect such opinion in any way. It’s just completely selfish.

I’m just glad they removed it because it’s an ASSAULT rifle. Weapon classes should be clearly defined

true.
a bit ironic on the new gold order weapons though…

Hopefully they will change that eventually too
Paratroopers certainly have a niche but they are not beasts
Yesterday I literally wiped out a whole Parasquad just as they dropped right by me
It was a joke.
Probably never? I don’t know, I’m not darkflow.
Well they explained it in the post, so no, they do have reasons, it’s just you don’t agree with them.
So your argument is that the balance is already poor, and we should therefore embrace it and make it worse?
What if, instead of that, we tried to make suggestions to make it better? Like make all automatic weapons exclusive to the classes designed to use automatic weapons: assaulters and gunners.
