And their is nothing wrong with that. But seeing how this is the first time we’ll get an alternative squad, it just seem to me at least like a waste for adding a squad we already have that’s Italian. With the British its unique cause we don’t have a British TT radioman squad

These are actual units…just like Legacy or Saboteurs aren’t in the TT.

I’m guessing in 6 days we’ll get more.

Hopefully. And that it’ll be an Italian assault squad next.

It’s a live service game. Dropping an update that adds a whole new TT makes 0 sense from a business perspective. My prediction is they add squads a little at a time, and in a year or so when there’s a complete lineup they add new TT with subfactions separated out with all those squads. This will be great for new players, and for those who didn’t grind the events along the way.

Sure bro, why don’t the devs just drop a tank in one event, then the crew members one by one in the next ones, and finally the weapons? All in separate 6-day events.
Since you love being drip-fed crumbs so much, that sounds like the perfect roadmap for you.
Or ones who started playing post-merge.

Sounds like you don’t like the game and should play something else.
The game is FREE, bruv. They make money by having people continue to play it, and to do that they give out “crumbs” on a schedule. That’s the business model. You don’t have to like it, and you don’t have to plat it if you don’t like it.

They just had a squadless tank event that took 26 days to grind. I’d gladly take one in 6.

As it encourages people to invest…and those players keep the game afloat.

What does enjoying the game have to do with criticizing the devs’ poor practices? ._.
So you are saying that these poor, lazy events are what encourage people to invest? And here I thought it was good, well-made premium units that did that… Great marketing advice, bro.
Players have been asking devs to release Legacy squads and sub-factions for a long time, this kinda does that. You don’t have to play the event, there will be a new one in 6 days.

They’ve also been asking for bug fixes and optimization for years and those never arrive, so you’re telling me their priority is suddenly releasing lazy event squads just because ‘players asked for it long ago’? Come on
I don’t see it as poor practices. This is simply how a FREEmium live service game has to operate in order to stay alive. You can’t be dropping free major updates with shittons of new content. People will play all the new content for a month, wear it out, and stop. I hate corpos and manipulative marketing and whatnot as much as the next guy, but this type of free game simply needs to operate in this way to have any kind of success. Blame human psychology.

Usually people start with Premium account so they can grind faster and have more than the 6 free slots.
The point is it’s free…investing gets better stuff.

So you’re saying that instead of working on actual content that keeps the game alive, they have to release garbage to keep it alive?
Funny how you mention ‘human psychology’ when games like War Thunder thrive by adding massive tech trees and actual progression, and you don’t hear their community begging for lazy 6-day events just to stay engaged. Stop making excuses for lazy design.
They JUST released an update with new maps…they can’t exactly do that daily.

WT is owned by Gaijin too…with a bigger player base but has it’s own set of problems.
