Paying 30 or 60 or more € for a premium squad is in my opinion way too expensive. I wouldn’t mind buying a few premium squads for each campaign. Sure, STG45 squads AVS squads …let it be
But im talking about the premium engineer squad from moscow campaign that are having finnish mosins or premium arisaka squad by soviets. Or the SKS-31 premium squad. Those are just the examples …It would be great if we can get new squads that cost around 10 to 15 bucks or drop a massive discount on older squads that remain the same price
Drop a discount or a price, i guarantee people would be more open to buy it.
I dont mind investing some cash into the game, but damn some squads are too expensive looking from money-wise perspective for that amount of money i can get a new kind of game or something.
My point is …if devs want to get people to spend some cash, some squads need to be less expensive and thus more affordable. Otherwise 70% of the playerbase will remain free to play - Well at least that’s how i see it
I haven’t bought any Premium/ DLC Squads yet, but I may in the future. Is it true that you can not change their loadout whatsoever?
Also I will say that the main draw of a Premium Squad should be the firepower they possess, such as the guns or vehicles/ planes, as well as its appearance/ looks.
You can add certain things like mines, grenades, pouches. Primary weapons no.
The differences are unique weapons that aren’t unlocked during that campaigns progression.
They are not so.much better, but they are different and unique. Some are weapons from other campaigns like the FNAB squad in Tunisia, or the M1918 squad in Moscow.
Some are impractical but a lot of fun (Label Squad in Berlin now that the BAs are OHK monsters).
Gaijin explaining why we should choose between a $60 game or a singular squad in their f2p game that’s on par or possibly worse than something you can unlock without paying a dime
That’s a little bit of a shame. I’m about 50/50 on whether or not you should be able to change Premium Squad weapons. I get that one of the main reasons people get them is for their weapon, but at the same time I feel that its not that big of a deal if you can change their weapon for whatever reason.
They could make it so only that Squad has access to that specific gun but you could still pick from all the other guns. Or maybe just allow us to get new soldiers for the Squad just like the regular squads.
One Premium Squad I was very interested in was the Kiraly 43M Squad, since they’re the only Fallschirmjager squad with a great uniform. But alas I can’t just give them Kar98ks or FG 42s.
Their signature weapon is really their selling point. I wouldn’t want it any other way.
Kiraly is a decent gun, it won’t win any range contests so you have to close the gap. Up close however, and its a absolute monster.
One of the nicer squads out there. Worth is money for sure, once you get a handle on the gun recoil.
Berlin best squad IMO is the Gerat 08 unit. Semis are back to being proper guns again. Give them large ammo pouches, mines and M24s and enjoy an absolute dominant team. Gun is a little wonky with dispersion but overall solid.
Personally speaking, I’m a collector so I tend to get them all. Plus I like supporting the company if I feel the gamenis going in the right direction.
Again, up to you on what to do, but there are some amazing squads available.
Ignore complaints about older squads being underpowered -WE ARE HERE-
Keep selling overpriced, better premium squads
Withdraw old mediocre premium squads from sale
Keep selling overpriced premium squads
Old, withdrawn crappy premium squads are now “rare collectible” premiums. Periodically put them on sale again for a limited time, at full price, with no improvement whatsoever
I would love to get the new premium squads seperatly and not in a bundle, cause I’m playing axis side only. So I have to want, until they are on discount or seperatly available.
Shush! I know very well it’s very likely to be this way…
But I still cling to the first point not in your list:
very first premium squad were 7 assaulters (or 9? I forgot) deemed pay to win (they were) by the community. DF “listened”… in part… by over nerfing them.
At least they listened a little even if they did things incorrectly… I’m clinging to that 🤷
Then came step 0.5: “What are we doing, guys?! If we sell blatantly OP premium squads right off the bat, people will just buy them once and be happy with it, harming our long-term revenue!”
i like them , especially nowadays
