31st Infantry Regiment

3rd Battalion “Tobruk”

1st Volkssturm Company

1st Group of Moroccan Auxiliaries

66th Guards Infantry Regiment

Other event and premium squads of similar types also have specialists. For example, the recently added Soviet “Zuckerman” squad (128th Separate Anti-Tank Regiment), or the Chinese Liu rifle squad for the US side (66th Infantry Regiment).

The goal is not to make these squads stronger than Tech Tree squads, but to prevent them from being objectively less useful. Adding an AT soldier and an Engineer would give them basic battlefield utility without significantly increasing their combat power. Compared with specialists such as MGs or Assaulters, AT and Engineers are much more situational, so this would be a relatively modest improvement that would make these squads more competitive with their Tech Tree counterparts.

I voted yes but it’s problematic. Adding an AT gunner and engineer would mean having 11 men in the squad, that would be OP.
It would be better replacing two riflemen with AT gunner and engineer, even though that would mean that those who already bought these squads would see them modified.

I know the developers are not doing this because modifying squads is problematic.
But wouldnt it be possible to make a duplicate of these squads that have 3 specialists and keep the existing ones with 9 riflemen only as “legacy variants” which can be sold/traded in for the updated squads?
