It is very easy to solve the problem of how P2W this game is, without having to stop selling the premium squads, the answer is as simple, as the vehicles and weapons stop being exclusive,
let them unlock normally and the benefit obtained by the premium is having them from level 1 and also having the weapons and the squad leveled, making them exclusive is pure and simple P2W.
If you think this game is P2W with how pathetically weak the premium squads are you are completely delusional.
Stop finding excuses for your own overall incompetence.

Uhhh the current squads minus one or two are essentially pay to lose. The one or two are decent but still completely gimped by the 4 squad member limit
I haven’t gotten any of the premium squads but I’ve been doing well with the normal squads. Getting top three almost every match. The most important equipment you need to be effective are given to you at/near the start (SMG, Rifle, Explosive Charge, Rally Point Building).
One thing is that the progression in the game is quite slow, especially if you don’t have premium. The fact that each faction of each campaign has their own progression makes this worse.
HAve no need for premium sqd to be good in the game, im evry match top 3, and make on a good round airfield 25k xp, reached level 19 to 20 in under 10 games. Cant see any p2w features. They only thing that could give you the feeling to p2w is in moscow campaign russia tank, but only because the tanks way stronger generally.
