They are still valuable to me. They don’t have an engineer, but they’re still a stormtrooper.

So happy I never got premiums. I would be livid.
I’ve kept faith.
I know my mp18 guys will become ultimate chads one day with an engineer. Even if that engineer uses a rifle instead.
I wish I could make em wear ww1 helmets with the lil spike on top…
Believe!

Gas mask option too
Except that assault squads you get in the TT come with 4 assaulters + other troops + an engineer.
It’s just that you can get multiple assault squads in every tree which come with four assaulters + other troops + an engineer. They are objectively not worth it, especially as they generally have older, crappier SMG’s.
Agreed. I am so glad they have decided to do this. I’m GUESSING the 9man infantry squads won’t get an engineer. I still think they should, but I can see why they wouldn’t. As those squads are huge. What else do you think won’t get them?
Why not just remove a rifleman and replace it with an engineer?

No, no. I mean 4 premium soldiers with fnab 43. Have only 4 assaulters without engineer. Its still valuable squad.
Sure. I’m just comparing it to TT assault squads. It’s crap compared to them. That’s my issue. I don’t need it to be as big, but I need a Premium engineer (who can build engineer squad stuff) and it to go to five to make it a better choice than a TT squad.
I don’t want to bog this down. It’s just the way I see it. To ME it is worthless. To others it may not be.
Oh I think they should do that for sure. But they said they were doing some, not all. Even though, as far as I’m concerned, they should do it to ALLLLLL of them.

I mean riflemen might sadly not, because their squad is already at maximum capacity, unlike all the other ones.
It’s easy for the others like the 4 smg guys: all they need is to add an additional guy, or easier, open an engineer slot and let the player fill it with an engy recruit of his own.
9 men squads are trickier, because they would need to completely REPLACE one soldier with another… And given the fixed nature of premium soldiers, it might be more difficult. Not impossible by any mean, just a bit harder to do.

My Stalingrad naval infantry premium squad with PPSh sure they have 5 PPSh including 1 engineer that also uses PPSh despite he cannot get the build speed perk but still a strong assaulter squad. Its just they cannot have other classes like an MG and arty on my regular assaulter squads.
I only bought this squad as my third assaulter in Stalingrad but said merge will have its own slot instead. Only few premium squads are kinda worth it mostly vehicle ones like T-34-85E, Firefly, 76mm M4A2, Panther A, etc but better on a sale as some premium squads are overpriced.

I donno. I have like 70-80 premiuns and I do enjoy them all. With or without engineer.
I asked for an eng on old premiums for months on every situation possible. I m just glad devs finnaly gonna make it. Will bring even more life to Alot of my purchases, that still, for me all of them were worth.

Some?
Would say only the starter SMGs squads are “fair”.

If all premium units have an engineer, it will be total p2w. This is because a premium engineer can build not only rallypoints, but also machine gun emplacements and field cannons.

All the new ones have them. So how is it not ALREADY P2W by your logic. This also ignores how they are smaller squads, can all be duplicated with better squads in the TT, and they have added the ability to build MG nests, AT guns, and ampule launchers to their respective squads. Not to mention actual engineer squads.
Calm down with the histrionics.
Since they added only option to take regular engineer to old premium squads, they would be able to build this.
Only purely premium engineers + regular engineers in AT and Engineer squads can.
