Does premium squad count as APC 1? That was never the case before.

it happens to be that they aren’t available yet.
will be somewhat funny though.
because we first unlock a truck that contains driver type II, and eventually unlock the halftrack that contains driver type I ( or receive, because again, could be an event, or will be available in the future to grind in normal tech tree )
I bet they consider bikers to be soldiers I and this is just evolution. Just like medics I and assaulters II/III/IV case.
Premium soldiers aren’t categorized as I/II/III/IV. They always do have special perk point policy.

yeah,
funnely enough, they are like, troopers and assaulters combined.
assaulters because they can use assault rifles and smgs, troopers because they have a mixture of perks ( and can use semi auto rifles and selective fire rifles too )
( actually, they are a league of their own if we consider the driver perks etc )
something that apcs are like. similar yet different.
because they cannot use semi auto rifles nor assault rifles. and they are needed to operate the vehicle.
This is made so you have to pay the price of a II soldier rather than a I soldier.

Why? Since you can have only one APC driver and he comes with vehicle itself.
Doesn’t really make sense.
well, you still need to buy him a couple of times if you want to have optimal perks ( you know, rng of perk points )
or… be it because you want to have several apc drivers designed to have their own playstyle and vehicle.
right now, would only make sense to base them around the weapon. but in the future we might get more vehicles where it requires their own separate / several drivers.
Still doesn’t make sense since selling price of soldier is like 95% of its purchase price.
For majority of players, there’s no reason to have more than 1 apc driver for whole faction atm.
well, as edited ( because smooth brain here forgot to mention it )
you wouldn’t assign the same perks of an assaulter to a riflemen that has bolt actions.
perhaps you want an additional driver that is more experienced in repairing more than driving.
or perhaps you want a driver focus on the combat since ( for the majority with the free to play one, you will drive it once, and park it somewhere to then fight on foot due to lack of weapons ) etc
That’s just extreme overthinking, Erika. Majority of people would not have bother with such thing.
It’s definitely not reason for artificially increasing price of soldier by making him soldier II.
i was more talking about why someone might want to buy more than one driver.
which the type II does affect the price
somewhat correlated
which, just a speculation, but then it would make sense for a apc driver type 1, as it would offer different type of perks points.
i’m… not sure who or why came up with this idea
unles… rider is supposed to be driver I and apc driver II in the sense of vehicles?
or maybe:
because it’s
*insert willy wonka face
just another DF inconsistency.

It isn’t speculation, look at all other classes
Jesus, ever considered getting a kid, or at least a cat?
Might do wonders to your health.
( without counting all of my reserve squads with soldiers inside 
)
now,
one would be right to point out, that i’m not gonna play with all of them.
but… i made them for HA.
and for my own pves.
which… funny. because i cannot really play them.
but that’s just momentarely. ( i hope )
otherwise if i gave up and have to sell them i’ll probably be Alice Walton of enlisted.
My next like is in 2 hours so, here:
