So I could’ve sworn I already replied to this, but I’m not seeing that reply anywhere
So, long paragraph short, you brought up 2 out of many squads that are “better” than their TT. Both are German no less, so they have 2 less reasons to complain. Most of us don’t use our Preemies for a reason. They’re just cool, niche guns that are about on par with TT guns, and the squads themselves tend to be par or subpar of regular squads
This is likely not going to be much of an issue at all
Personally I’ve always treated Premiums and Event squads the same as regular squads, they’re just “cards” to choose from to build my deck. I like just having 4 slots because I have to choose what roles I want to play in the battle. If I had all the full slots I’d probably be bored because I’d have every single squad covered. No choice or strategy. At best if I ever bought one it would just be to have both a tank and plane at the same time.
Now I am saying will I still be able to play the way I do now, ie I can still treat Premiums the same as regular squad slots (if and when I choose to have them in my lineup), or will Premiums be permanently regulated to the new slot.
The only differences are:
They start fully leveled, which all squads can become
They all have the same gun, exclusive to Preemies but are more often than not just side-grades of TT, but are niche guns we otherwise wouldn’t have
Their Engies can build everything, which all Engie Squads can do
And their rewards are busted, which is the second main appeal of buying them in the first place. Right after “hey cool gun”
Everyone who has a Preemie Squad can utilize this. Plus, Preemie Squads are much more lucrative than Preemie Time. I know I have several Preemies I don’t use because they just aren’t good enough to justify replacing one of my current squads. Having that slot there exclusively for a Preemie for free gives all of the incentive to use one. Whether it’s the Sovie Lewis Gun Squad, the Colt Monitor Squad, or whatever squad I may want to use. Plus, I may not even really spawn them all that often unless I just kinda want to. It’ll be like the M22 Locust that sits in my lineup 24/7. It’s there. I can use it at any time. Almost never do though
Preemies are not inherently better than regular 6 man squads. They have pros and cons just like everything else. Mainly being 4 man squads…
I have 9 slots since last slot is so expensive that it was not worth it, so 10th premium slot will be useful especially since APC/UC always takes one slot and i have 2-3 more vehicles so in reality i only had 5-6 infantry slots left.
very nice!
But it should be 2 Premium slots,
We have sooo many Premiums, 1 is bit on the low, and adding 2 makes it more fun to mix and match combos, rather than just 1 Squad, aswell we have both Infantry and vehicles Premiums.
2 Premium Slots it is!
And maybeee 1 Event Squad slots aswell, we have few of those too, there’s not too many of those, so 1 slot enough, but still should not count as the premium one since premium have extra bonus, and yet still not normal, because for same reason you add premium slot, they are weaker squads but interesting and fun, but without premium bonus…
So it will be 2 Premium Slots, 1 Event slot, it’s decided then, thank you very much!
