Not happening. It’s not supposed to be an actual event squad, just distributed through them. It’s just a TT squad they don’t want to put in the TT because they won’t unlock anything new, they’re just alternative nationality squads (Italian and British mostly)

But at the same time their building variety is just like an actual event\premium squad.
According to Ungorisz on Reddit it’s most likely not intended. All previous communication by the CMs has been that it’s essentially just a TT squad distributed through events to have every squad have both US/UK and GE/IT options.
But this is an event unit that was obtained in an event. What’s the point of a simple duplicate? Its main feature should be to be placed in an event slot.
What a meeting…

The point of a duplicate is so people can run fully one nation armies, even if those are the UK and Italy. That’s the point, the only point the squad actually is supposed to have. Additionally in the future all British and Italian squads in the TT will have a US and German equivalent.
why would you want an infantry squad at the bottom of your lineup 
This isn’t an “event” squad… it’s a tech tree alternative with tech tree weaponry… only awarded THROUGH an event.
To have the extra event/premium squads while filling normal slots with TT squads.
Is this squad just an old tech-tree machine gun squad with a new name and description re-released? I’ve fully completed the Italian Tunisia tech tree, and I own an older machine gun squad that shares the exact same icon, only with different squad text and lore blurbs. The artwork for the two squads is identical.
This… is technically a tech tree squad
I didn’t deny that. I was responding to your part about wanting an infantry squad at the bottom of the lineup.

We can look on the bright side. After checking the tech tree, I found that this squad’s research unlocks both anti-aircraft guns and anti-tank guns, meaning it receives the exact same treatment as event-exclusive squads. This is likely a special bonus given to an old tech-tree squad that’s making a return.
I don’t care how they are listed, I’m just happy to be getting two new squads with weapons I can change. 
So, unlike many of the event and almost all the premium squads, I can use them in any BR level I choose. At least for me, the game is far more fun without all the micromanaging.

I’d support this if it lets players fit an extra squad more easily.
There’s currently no free way to unlock extra slots, and you have to spend silver coins for them.
This creates a huge, unfair gap between free players and those who spend money.

I’ll take my wins where I can get them, and with the Dev’s, wins are sometimes hard to achieve.

What, there’s no equivalent to machine gunners 1
? The change nation feature comes to the rescue.
In fact, this is an event squad in honor of the event in Sicily.

Yes, even on the right and left. I need this unit in the additional slots. Otherwise, it’s pointless.
