New Premiums - lack of appeal

Mess Room

I am not a whale, but like to look unique in battle so bought alot of the planes and tanks for various campaigns, some of these were questionable purchases ie. Pz3 premium Moscow although APHE kills t50, panzer iv Berlin, t34 etc

Right to the point, the Churchill and stuff look great and I was about to buy both, but when looking at them two issues stopped me:

Churchill - I already have Firely and chaffee, so why would I want the Churchill in my line up, as well as Jumbo I mean… although I rarely use latter and stick with Firefly. Chaffee for fun.

Stug - was about to press buy, when noticed missing mg, so this is a major crutch against DPers, so stopped myself, maybe will be added at a later date?

BF110c6 - As much as I love the BF110, it has no tailgunners as yet, so is defenceless really, especially against Hurricane, so again stopped myself pressing buy…

I’m sure some of these would be fun, but I either have no slot in my lineup, as already have 2 in that role. Or the premium vehicles are lacking something, mg gun, tailgunners (hope added soon) so until then I bought a bunch of EL gold but no where to spend my hard earned cash.

I will say right now that the two 9 person infantry squads for Axis are worth the money.
They have been performing great for me so far.

The lack of an MG on the StuG III is really a hard blow for it, it makes it a little less of an assault gun than I was hoping for.
I’ll be trying it out this weekend to see how it does at least against tanks. From what I have read, its hard to Pen.

Are you talking about the new Axis squad for Tunisia? I’m questioning myself if I should get both this one and the Moroccan one (since they look unique, have unique faces and even unique French voices).
Only sad thing is the absence of squad customization options.

I CANNOT wait for this to happen. I am going to spend SO MUCH time on getting my squads perfect.

I also want an NCO in each squad as leader, so I hope we can get all sorts of options

Yes, and the Garat 03 semi auto squad in berlin.

Well worth the money IMO.
I love the Bolt Actions with the Italian Squad, very responsive and good sight picture.

I currently own 33 or so premium squads, I own them to support the devs coz I feel they are a proper team and the game is simply amazing.
I just dont buy more, for the same reasons you state.

I have the money, the will and really want them, but I ask my self, why do I even need that over what ever other squad.

My problem I’ll be forever the lack of soldiers in them…

But the two squads I got have 9 troopers. The perfect size IMO. Minus the specialty troops, but they still do amazing things.
