A suggestion to developers…if you want people to invest in Premium squads, put a little more effort in their design. There are squads that EVERYONE wants and usually it is because there is value in investing. I am noticing more and more that a lot of Premium squads are either just TT weapons or the weapon is just wores then what is available in the TT. Squads should have a slight advantage for the BR they are put into and shouldn’t be at a disadvantage when uptiered. Soldier composition should also be taken into account…when smaller sizes only have an Engineer and no AT or Radioman…the TT squad is a better option. Squads need to have utility to make them worthwhile for the prices you charge and give the player a buff. The researsh buff from Premium squads can eaily be offset by a Premium account.
Older pre-merge squads are very unappealing unless they are sold cheaper or they are buffed with a radioman as the TT offers better, FREE options…and STOP nerfing Premium squads AFTER people buy them.
Unique squads that offer a faction something that is not offered in the BR, or allows you to play a weapon on a lower BR, is a buffed version of a TT weapon or whatnot is what gets people buying. Squads like the Colt Monitor, the UD M42, MG 32 drum, Soviet Lewis gun, German Radio with snipers, etc are what people like…not unplayable tanks and planes or squads with terrible weapons.Do you agree with the squad design suggestion? If yes, add things and ideas (or squads) you like to get devs an idea.
Personally I think special squads are fine the way they are, for now for the foreseeable future
I think Special squads should just be customizable and upgradeable like basic squads. That way you can customize them however you want
I’ll say the same thing I always say about premium or event squads, unlock the weapons so we can use it where we need it. Gaijin calls them Unique squads, however, crappy weapons IMOP should not be a unique quality. NTM that if we control the weapons, we control the BR level so we can use it where we need it.
If nothing else, after we’ve bought our 10th or 20th squad, we should have some additional benefits, like unlocked squads from that point on.

I couldn’t agree more…I find myself getting picky what I buy now because I’m stcked in certain BRs and some I want but can’t justify the price for what it is. The older squads like the FNAB should definitely be customizable.

Yeah, on one hand Gaijin wants us to continue buy more squads, but on the other hand, the more we buy the less we need, especially when the vast majority of these premium squads seem to fall into the same BR ratings. Gaijin and some people treat premium or event squads like they are some sort of crown jewels to own. Well, outside of this game, “THEY ARE WORTHLESS!” If this game folds, so does every squad and BP weapon we paid for.
For items WE pay for, I think WE should have choices. If Gaijin wants to give away a squad for FREE, then they can arm it however they see fit. It especially gets irritating when you’ve bought dozens and dozens of squads and are stuck with it as is in BR levels you don’t need.
I know there have to be some who have spent more on Enlisted then I have. But I went back and counted every premium and event squad I own through every faction, and I literally have 69 total premium and 23 event squads, not counting the amount of BP weapons I have invested in. So, what would it hurt for Gaijin to give back to those who have been financially supported them? What would it hurt them to say, once you’ve bought your 20th squad or so, then you unlock every squad. It would incentivize people to buy more.
If no one bought Premium and Event squads, and no one bought BP weapons, and if no one paid for premium accounts, does anyone think this game would still be operating? I have said this before, Enlisted is a great game, but I don’t understand their business sense.

The fact we don’t have more control on our paid squads is puzzling…but they should lower prices and design better ones if they want us playing all BRs on all factions.

I don’t even want to calculate what
I have actually spent between squads
and weapons. It would just depress
me.

Ya…I know the feeling. I used to justify it because it’s the only game I have played in a year and a half so it was in place of buying other games, now it’s a compulsion. However all the new squads lately have helped in events so I can be more picky. It would be nice to get the Soviet Lewis squad so I have BR3 LMG squads for all.

I’m at the point where Gaijin posts new bundles for sale every few days and more times then not, the only squad I don’t have is the tank squad. I never buy vehicles squads, only infantry, so, I don’t get excited when I get three tanks and a plane from the mystery box. 
I don’t look for Gaijin to unlock their squads, but IMOP they should give us incentive by doing that after we’ve purchased X amount of squads. I would keep buying if they would do that, instead, I am passing on a lot I would have bought.
I love BAR’s, but only the A2 BAR’s for the most part, and Gaijin put out a BAR squad a few years ago. I would have bought them, however they carried the Base 1918 BAR, and it wasn’t special to me, so I passed on it. Had it been a special BR2 BAR squad, or had the weapons been unlocked, I would have bought it in a second. If that BAR squad been unlocked, I would have just replaced the base BAR’s with A2’s and had a squad I loved, or gave them Browning 1919A6’s and had one BR5 MG squad. I currently have four BAR squads and an APC with two additional BAR’s in my BR3 lineup, so almost every BR3 squad I play with is BAR dominated.
