I am always looking for decent squads to buy and lord knows I have given Gaijin far too much money for squads, but why does Gaijin keep offering squads with only four soldiers? I already have the Orita Medic squad, and although I like it, I don’t use it much since I am limited by only four soldiers, not to mention it is a medic squad so I have limited ammo.
Now, I see this BR1 engineer rifle squad that is also offered with only four soldiers 
. Is it really going to kill Gaijin to give us at least five troops? I mean, the AI in this game is so awful that three of the four soldiers will be dead within the first 30 seconds anyway from their own stupidity, thus leaving me with only one soldier to actually play with 
. Would it really kill Gaijin to offer 5 or 6 soldier squads?
And no, I am not buying the squad.

As someone who did get both of those squads, that is pretty valid, the issue you brought up. And not to mention, the squad with the orita is entirely medics except for the one engineer, so you’re stuck with barely and ammo if your engineer dies. The orita is supposed to get a buff soon, but I still dislike how little ammo medics can carry.

Unless it is an SMG or MG squad, I won’t buy any that are less then five. I don’t like bolt action rifles anyway, so the only way I would have considered this engineer squad is if it had more soldiers and/or changeable weapons. I just think it is ridiculous that Gaijin would offer four man squads. I also have the Soviet Chic medic squad which is also four troops, and I rarely use it for the same reason, not enough ammo and only four soldiers.
Tbf, I love my M28 squad, you do still get 5 men with your AT gunner as well.
I have a detachment of engineers with M/28, we are missing a sixth soldier.
Yes, they have an anti-tank gunner. But I don’t have enough room for a machine gunner.
And I would like to be able to replace the anti-tank gunner with a medic.
so an engineering squad with bolt-action rifles would be more effective against infantry.
An anti-tank gunner is important, but I want to have a choice and full-fledged squads!
