They seem like a weaker loadout then a normal signal company, with only 1 engineer instead of 2 & no Medic for SMG, but they have this special rocket strike.
Do you guys think it is worth running them ?
That’s the bonus of those radio squads…rocket artillery. It hits quicker then regular artillery after being called and the all get to call in strikers more frequently then regular ROs.
Rocket artillery used to be very interesting because it could reliably destroy tanks.
However it was nerfed. It can still deal with tanks, but as well as it used to be.
One advantage of this squad is also that it is one of the few event squad that can swap their main weapons. They can thus be used at any BR. And the engineer can build most structures (AA, AT, MG…)
Hmm, well, rocket damage is currently weaker than artillery strikes. You can think of them as essentially a volley of British 50lb bombs—they might not always kill infantry, but if they hit a tank, it’s guaranteed destruction.
Rocket artillery is just a useless gimmick just like every other artillery strike besides the standard one. It cannot kill tanks reliably, it is less powerful against infantry and locked to special squads. I still use that squad because i like their uniforms but otherwise tech tree squad is better

Well that is quite an adventage if their engineer can build AT and MG compared to a normal radio squad. I think i will use this one then.

I like the smoke one too from the drops. Is this rocket one maybe able to reliably kill an APC ?
