This is actually very powerful, while I was scattered about maximizing 3 campaigns, I was probably able to make only about 30 5-stars soldiers, and mostly in Moscow.
welcome to the club then.
I’ve been wondering, what’s the most efficient way to get 5 stars?
I use to keep every dude bronze orders throw at me, leveling up them all from 1 star upwards, but is it perhaps more efficient to discard 1 star ones and only keep those who already drop with 2-3 stars?
I’m stacking most of my silver orders for when I will have unlocked later campaign levels, to buy and level up tier II (or III) specialists.
I always worried about not “wasting” any soldiers who drop, but admittedly bronze orders rain down in great quantities.
(And fighter pilots and snipers become more and more numerous)
Also, should I upgrade my tier 1 soldiers to 5 stars, or keep them 4 stars and use them as “academy fodder” to train 5 stars tier 2s later (with the help of academy return orders)?
with academy bug. You got tons of useless pilots in the past, so it was relatively easy, I just got the job done before they fix that bug

i didnt know the accademy bug untill was fixed and someone pointed it out. i used to train 3 soldiers of the same class, i didnt even knew was possible to train soldiers from diferent groups lol.
anyway:
focus on soldiers above 3 stars.
always have some type of soldiers upgrading on the accademy
have premium to half the times on training
always change soldiers once you get them full stars
play alot.
leveling below 3 stars its a waste of time.
save 5 star soldiers for a later day, and focus on leveling as much lvl 5 as possible now.
You gonna laugh, but I never tried (nor even knew) there was a 3 shot burst mode with that weapon before reading all this… 🤦
At least the thread was helpful 
StG should be for assaulters instead of the VG 1-5 semi auto rifle. Just let the VG 1-5 replace the FG42, we’ve already had those in Normandy.
The VG 1-5 would be a decent high level rifle, it’s just categorized for the wrong class as of now.
Now I believe it’s more like a framework for RD44 or all weapons which use 7.62 M43. And all variations would have 8.0 damage by default like VG 1-5.
