With the latest addition of gold orders and battle pass weapons I think it’s time to make a change to the legacy squadrons, players who got them at the time would have a unique distinction, new players who get them would not have it, if it is infantry they would not have an associated weapon, if it is a vehicle they would not have an associated vehicle (this is for everyone), so this would allow you to choose the tank, aircraft you want to use in these squadrons and thus allow everyone to see the old squadrons and those who want to make historical units, can make their own designs

As I just wrote in another suggestion asking for the same thing:
A dedicated squad shop, or any other method to directly earn the legacy squads, is the only way to solve the squad-gap between subfactions.

Agreed, gambling your silver to get an legacy squad and ain’t getting it sucks, I believe they should be free again in the TT or like you said, an dedicated shop tab to buy them

Terrible concept. Stop putting everything in game boxes. Stop transforming Enlisted into PC gacha game.
Plus there’s no need to bring back legacy squad. They are not even balanced, as each faction has different amount of them.
Instead, they should create bonus(/veteran) squads based on minor nations (Italy, Britain, etc).
Place them in the tech tree behind the equipment that is already there and related to said nation. And that’s it.
Once you research that equipment, you would be able to buy that minor nation’s bonus squad for say 20k.

But why? These squads already exist, why can’t they be used? Why bloat the code with new squad additions, graphic designes with new squad icons, researchers with looking up new historical formations, and bloat veterans already overfilled and mostly unused squads with more squads?
We’ve got them, they already exist, why not just use them, and bring back what was once accessible to everyone? It’s just a whole lot of extra effort to acomplish the same goal.
I fully agree with your sentinemt from just a day ago:

They can be used. Or just some of them, whatever. But it doesn’t solve the problem. The Japanese, for example, wouldn’t get a single squad.
Plus the people who already own the content wouldn’t get anything in return, anything new.
People should just stop being so fixated on legacy stuff.
Because that’s not the solution. Not to mention that most legacy stuff has a legacy label for a reason and it should stay that way.

It absolutely would, that can’t be denied.
They don’t have subfactions that need supporting (yet), this is fine.
Once legacy squads get back into circulation the issues that some of them have, such as customization options, are more likely to be fixed, and more content that gets added to tech tree squads are more likely to be added to the old ones as well (like new buildings or vehicles).
Not every new feature has to be 100% equal to who they benefit.
Ok. Thanks for your input.
They are though.
Don’t bring in the weapons, they’re not part of the discussion.
Legacy squads became legacy squads by pure arbitrary randomness, there is no reason why one squad got a TT spot over another, it’s just what happened and it can just as easily be remedied.

It wouldn’t.
First of all, only Germany would benefit from it mainly. And then Soviets, but Soviets primarily only on lower BRs.
Because legacy content is not 1:1 across all factions.
In fact, it would only create huge disparity between the individual factions.
But it’s clear you have no clue what you are talking about. Because you don’t have the full context.

And the Allies, no way to run a full Commonwealth lineup from the TT.
Non-issue, we only have a limmited number of squads we can bring into battle.
Subfactions would benefit hugely, they deserve to have their own things, not their faults they’re part of larger factions.
What am I missing? Enlighten me.

This wouldn’t be solved by legacy squads. Many classes doesn’t have their British counterpart even in legacy squads.
It would only allow create limited lineups.
So, problem not solved.
Nope, Japanese still couldn’t take TT 3 engineer squads. Meanwhile other faction could cycle them.
And there are many such examples.
Overall overview of legacy content. And the ability to admit that you’re wrong and that you don’t know everything the best.
Indeed, for examples, we’d have no Commonwealth APC squad that isn’t premium (post merge), nor a flame-thrower squad. Nor does the US have a Guerrilla squad.
Creating a couple of extra squads for these purposes would be far easier than reinventing whole factions worth of squads from scrath.
it’s 98% of a problem solved, for far less the ammount of resources spent.
I’m sure they could get more squads if it was needed?
Why do we need to reinvent several factions worth of squads if it’s only Japan that specificly needs?
Returning old squads will get us 90% of the way, being the easier thing to implement that’s a good start, the gaps can then be filled with new squads.
They’re still not part of the discussion.
What…?
Would you please focus Adamn, if you have specific alligations I’ll hear them, but once again it’s sounding like you’d rather call me bad faith rather than directly engage with me.

Whatever, they could do exactly what they did with the beretta m1918 and M3 filed mod premium squads.
The veterans would still retain exclusive content and it would also take literally no effort.
Not to mention that this wasn’t my point at all. My point was to actually implement the new squads in a meaningful way. And to solve the problem of minor nationalities missing their squads and thus outfits.
Legacy squad wouldn’t have solved anything. I don’t want another half-assed solution that only satisfies the newbies.
Especially since it would create only total chaos. Huge disparity of number of available squads between factions.
That wasn’t the point. The point was that the return of the legacy squad wouldn’t solve anything. Which it wouldn’t.
This question itself proves that just return of legacy squads is not proper solution.
Wut
Here you go:
It would be cool if Manchuria was added. That way, I can finally use the KE7, and use Type 30 rifles.

Exactly…excess player points from the BP. It annoys me that Major to Marshal all reset to 50…and those with more than 200 don’t even get rewards. My understanding is that old Legacy squads don’t have unique weapons like Premium. This would allow players to have squads outfitted for every BR without changing them and gives afresher look on the battlefield seeing new uniforms.
