All Medic squads should come with at least FIVE soldiers

I have four premium Medic squads, two come with five soldiers, and two come with four :roll_eyes:. All should come with at least five. The tech tree medic squads all come with five. The German and Soviet medic squads should both have a soldier added bringing them to five.

Should the two premium four person Medic squads be changed by adding a fifth soldier?

  • Yes, add the fifth soldiers to the Medic squads
  • No, do not add the fifth soldier to the Medic squads

It literally makes no sense why the Dev’s would have produced four premium medic squads, giving five soldiers to two, and four to the other two.

BR1 Allies 147th Medical Infantry Regiment premium
US Medic squad…FIVE soldiers
Japanese 4th Infantry Premium Medic squad
Japanese Medic squad…FIVE soldiers
German 371st Medical Battalion Orita premium
German Medic squad…FOUR soldiers
Level TWO 150th Medical Battalion
Soviet Medic squad…FOUR soldiers

This suggestion has already been forwarded to devs - and funnily enough, we spoke about this to them quite recently.

Were tech tree medic squads included in the discussion? Is there any plans to let them have any specialist as well?

And they ALL should come with the Premium weapon as well.

Not to change the subject, but why didn’t the Dev’s equip the Soviet chic medic squad with body armor, or give them the option of body armor?

Oh, I understand, medics didn’t use body armor which makes perfect sense as to why it is not an option. Hold on, wait a minute, wait just a second…In actuality, only the Assault engineers used body armor, so, why then is the option for body armor available for every Soviet soldier? :thinking: And if it’s available for every soldier, then why not available for the medic squad?

Maybe MajorMcDonalds could ask the Dev’s about that while they are adding the fifth soldiers. :wink:

Is a single member upgrade allowance too underwhelming?
The armaments of these squads are no longer competitive in current meta.
The tech tree’s medical squad already comes with six soldiers by default.
Would it be more reasonable to expand the squad cap to six members uniformly?

Then simply deny medics the access to plate armor, this adjustment sounds fairly reasonable.

Medic squads have long been an unresolved issue left on the back burner.
For one thing, medics only have a single upgrade tier, while other troop types can be upgraded nearly to Tier 3.
Besides, the tech tree standard medic unit consists of six soldiers per squad.
Both Pacific and Soviet-German medic teams currently fall short of this standard unit size.
Would it be feasible to set their full complement to six members in future updates?
Their weapon loadouts used to be overpowered and dominant under older map layouts, yet their firepower can no longer keep up with the current lineup in the tech tree.

Regarding whether or not an engineer will be added to the medic squad—I’ve already seen threads about this that were created a long time ago.
