As the title suggests, a lot of squads are abandoned, never leveled up, never see play. They are just not good or very niche, which makes them not so desirable.
We cannot control the map or the game mode. So a lot of times you go in with a fixed set of squads. There are maps where I wish I could change to a Sniper squad or change to an Engineer squad or maybe I need that Radio squad to make a smoke screen so it helps us attack and push… maybe swap to a Figther Plane squad because we get dominated in the air.
This would incentive us, to level up and gear up, useless squads that are abandoned and never see play.
This is why meta is boring everyone just selects 2-4 of the same squad type to compensate in firepower that fits most scenarios. Be it Machinegunner squads or Assault squads. “What is the hardest hitting squad? Yeah ? That? Ok put that on everything.” That is not good gameplay.
It could come with some limitation, like you can rotate one squad or two per match or have some 1-3 reserve squad systems etc. It could be approached in multiple ways.
Allowing to swap squads mid match would make it like “bring the right tool for the right job” style of play. Like chess. Right now…you give us a hammer and good luck hope it works on everything.
This way, would spend more time on more squads, more weapons upgrades more play etc. More of everything and make the game fun too at the same time and interesting with decision making.

If we give everyone free unlimited slots, how devs will sell them?
I like the idea but devs don’t for sure.
You don’t give unlimited slots. Just have like a wild card, where you can swap one or two per match or something.
Or a “reserve system” with limited slots,only select squads would make it to keep a balance .
Or you know…then can sell it in Premium since it’s kinda “meh” in the first place. You’d have one swap by default and 3 with premium. Or maybe have one swap with 10 m cooldown, premium would have 3 swaps before cooldown etc etc. But not unlimited, as I said, with some limitations, they would figure out a good system.
The idea is to make the game more dynamic with more decision making than just throw “3x this” at them and more play via more squads having to be geared and leveled up rather than abandoned.

Maybe just give two layouts of units for battle? To change them…
You want to level up abandon squads then level it up. There is no need to make confusion in squad configuration. Dumb idea.
Squads like mortar, sniper, radiomen and flame throwers are very situational are. Game mod and maps change the effectiveness . Mortars can do excellent job at invasion mod but totally useless in conquest mod.
Solution is simple: give us free choise on maps and game mods. So people can choose to play niche squads in most suitable conditions.
I really dont understand why everything is so random.
How the hell i can use mortar and radio good in berlin maps for eg. ?

Choose it in the squad selection menu ?
Not free, map and campaing by an election, You vote for moscow, attackers vote for the map , if defenderse whin they Will be attackers
And You can’t select a same map, in this form You can use a high selection of maps, no repetitive gameplay
It depends on the capture point. Berlin have noticeable amount of capture points without indestructible on top cover.
That why I have spend my kind’s money on extra slots
