I’ve always felt the Assault squad is a bit too small. Assault is supposed to represent Assault infantry, which the Soviet’s pioneered arming entire platoons with sub machine guns. Germany eventually created their own assault infantry in the Volksgrenadiers, arming entire platoons with Stgs.
The amount of Assaulters in the Assault squad should be increased. Premium and event Assault squads would need to be updated as well
How many total Assaulters should the squad have
- 5 ( on par with Medic and Gureilla)
- 6 (on par with Paratrooper)
- 7 (total soldiers in squad)
- 8
- 9 (they are infantry like Riflemen)

I share your point of view; however, a squad potentially composed solely of assault soldiers is unlikely to appeal to all players. On the other hand, offering alternatives such as adding medics or IFV drivers could be a good solution for introducing assault rifles without “breaking” the game.

9 SF squads are already a cancer.
having ASS / Federov / Hyde 44s & STGS above the 5 would be overkill and unfun.
rather, unecessary.

I’ve always felt that SF should be removed from Riflemen since infantrymen were usually armed with bolt and semi rifles. SF did not become standard until after the war
In my opinion there’s justification to move them to Assault, MG, or maybe a new class
Ironically it is an SF and I’m always annoyed that it’s wrongly classified 
Of coarse if SF get moved to Assault anyway then it would stay where it is

It would be very fun but kind of op

you can already bring 4 assaulters + 1 medic + 1 mg gunner with some assaulter squads, which means 6 guys with automatic weapons under br 5.
I would rather get a 4th mg gunner for mg squads.

Nah, it would mean even more unplayable BR I games, because people would use their new overpowered Assaulter Squads to farm players using bolt-actions. Which, they still do, they can just do it better then.

But on the opposite end in BR 5 every soldier has a SF and Assault is getting outclassed

The provocation didn’t catch on at all
Frankly, all squad types are obsolete.
For example, why doesn’t an assault squad have a flamethrower?
That type of soldier is designed for assault; one is enough. Why isn’t there an IFV driver in the squad?
How are low-level vehicles supposed to be moved? It’s impossible; you just abandon them and pick up others.
Machine gun squads, why three?
That’s not enough to complete assault squad missions.
Motorcycles were obsolete from the start because of the impassable terrain on far too many maps.
Let’s just say you have to think carefully before using them.
There are also some interesting assault squads, like the German ones.
For example, you can equip a sniper with the STG44 sniper rifle, which has a removable scope!
This allows you to create an additional assault squad! Even a sniper squad can become an assault squad—that’s awesome!
