The list is for store packs only, so assaulters.
What a crock of shit. I’ve bought tons of premiums and this is quite literally the only one i’ve found value in.

Indeed. But you’ll more or less end up disappointed after buying it. After I got it, I found its performance just isn’t on par with premium squads from other nations that outperform regular tech-tree options. I honestly think they should’ve balanced its weapon to be similar to Germany’s M1918. After all, DF clearly has no clue about proper stat balancing.
Its damage output is far too low; it’s basically just an overgrown PPSh-27 forced into BR 3. I used it for nearly a month, then switched back to Hurricane and PPSh-41 for actual combat effectiveness. I still hope they’ll drop its battle rating down to BR 2.
Yeah, those two squads got pulled from the store way too fast. The Japanese M1918A2 squad didn’t even last a full season, and it was actually pretty decent in terms of performance. As for the Soviet one, honestly, I’m convinced poor sales are the sole reason it got taken down so quickly.
They only added some basic hull tracks and a tiny bit of camouflage netting and dared to charge money for it. I’d rather spend gold on custom cosmetics for my vehicles in WT than waste it on this tank.
Still, their real reason for delisting them is probably so they can re-release them later without having to put them on sale.
Wow, the difference is night and day once you compare them. The sight aperture is way too small. How can they use such an awful sight in real life—did they just rip it straight off an aircraft?
I swear this sight was originally meant for the M2 in the editor. Both Soviet and British sights desperately need a field of view buff.
I’m pretty sure players suggested this ages ago, and the proposal got tons of votes too. DF’s work efficiency is unbelievably slow. When are they ever going to fix this?

I cant see sheit while using that thing, its unbearable tbh, and I agree with you with the buff thing on the field view but it wouldve been a huge difference if they just bring down the sight and let the Iron sight a default on this lmg

Exactly, this should’ve been fixed a long time ago.
Same with the IS squads. Any squad with poor sales gets discounted in no time. The Japanese BAR squad went on sale right after the last season ended, and now it’s getting removed from the store only one season later. Honestly, is this the shortest-lived squad we’ve ever seen? Its performance was actually perfectly decent too.
The Chinese SMG squad is stat-wise barely more than a slightly tweaked PPD-27. They just gave it a few extra rounds and dumped it into BR 3. If that’s the case, the PPD-34 could easily drop down to BR 2 as well. DF really needs to rebalance the stats and move this squad to BR 2. You can even see in the artwork it’s still packing BR 2 Bazookas.

From what I remember, it had a comeback once last year and the year before that. Lately, there have been quite a lot of obscure Soviet squads making a return too—like the LaGG, the I-16, and the dreadful Valentine. It looks like Soviet content reruns are just going to cycle over and over from now on.
What a ridiculous tank! Who even uses it these days? I think this is its first return ever since it got delisted. I doubt many people want it anyway. I already have the Leopard and Tiger, so why would I buy this? It would only be useful if they ever add BR 6 and move those two up to BR 5.
Nice premium squad to grab! Now Germany’s top-tier machine gun squads for BR2 are all complete. Plus it’s on discount, fairly priced, not starting at five or six thousand gold like before.
Here they go again with artificial scarcity marketing. They’ve barely released new content these past few years. At this rate, there will be fewer and fewer items left to sell in the shop.
Engineers? I still have an old screenshot from the Normandy update. I swear there was also an elite radio operator squad with Johnson rifles too. Just how many reskinned tech-tree squads have they released over the years? Sure, they’re nothing but collector’s pieces, yet they still charge a steep price for them.
The British Atrius, the improved M10… wait, both the Hellcat and M10 are already at BR3, so why is this thing still stuck at BR4? Do they even pay attention to the game meta when setting these prices?
Still nothing on dem sound mods huh?

These squads were just released like in the recent major updates and you just pull them off of sale???
There is an error in the price calculation for the 50% off squad-slots.
50% of 990 is obviously NOT 495… dont know where that “+50 extra gold” come from…
pls fix this, Thx!

The legacy of Stalingrad, the flame-throwing roach car! Now both flame-thrower vehicles are gone from the shop.
Honestly, this vehicle is absolutely amazing. In open areas with no indestructible cover, it can burn out every enemy in minutes.
They’re delisting this for a full-price re-release later, it’s definitely not because of poor sales.

Is the flame tank actually worth it? im talking br3 that is since i might not use it in 5 for obvious reason.

It’s pretty obvious they just didn’t sell well. Aside from Germany’s flame-roach vehicle, the American T-24 and the Soviet IS-1 (a lazy reskin that’s pretty bad) are all underwhelming. The Soviet AS44 is completely outclassed by the AS45.
That said, I’m confused about the Japanese machine gun squad—it’s not even bad at all. In truth, it’s roughly on par with the premium American M1918 squad and Germany’s captured Polish Browning squad. The only explanation is they plan to re-release it at full price later and pull artificial scarcity tactics.
It’s an absolutely fantastic vehicle. It originally came in the Stalingrad bundle, so it’s definitely top-tier. If you main German BR3, you’ll frequently end up in flat, low-cover maps like Tunisia and Moscow from BR2.
Trust me, this tank hits around 40 kilometers per hour. Rush in early, and you can incinerate entire groups of clustered enemy AI before they spread out—easily taking down twenty to thirty foes in one go. Spray flames in a circle, then quickly pull back and circle around again. Enemies can’t deal with it in time; they’ll all get burned down straight away.
It only struggles on dense maps like Stalingrad and Berlin. If you have extra squad slots free, you can slot it at the bottom of your lineup as a fun toy. It really deserves to be down at BR2 though!

Some of the squads are not worth purchasing for the guns for some of us.
There could be more reasons to buy them still- please look at this suggestion.
