They nerfed the heck out of the new event squad.
Handicap level perks. - The engineer really suffers the most. Not able to perk build speed. (edit - restarted game, now can level up perks)
Cannot change rucksack.- A huge load of firstaid kits. (edit - restarted game, can now change)
But the plus side, really effective on enclosed caps. That lingering fire is good, the spread is nice.
You may need to restart your game. Rucksacks can be changed. Five star engineer of this squad has 2 less mobility points (16) than five star engineer II (18). I think it is manageable.
Yeah. Every time you get a event squad, and maybe premium, they often glitches and you can’t level them up or change their equipment unless you restart the game.
I find it still nice!
You were right, restart cured the ruck change and perk level
That was the issue
The squad is good with perks…plus the weapon is good, essentially you can have 54 molotovs for the squad and half can be launched downrange.
Or build a nest then its unlimted :). Its a throw away squad.
And if you give your guys the extra grenade back pack? You would be looking at an additional 27 molotoves. Making an total of 81 molotoves. If I did my math correctly (which I dislike and suck at)
Billion molotovs apon ye!!!
Jokes aside this event squad not that bad.
(Also this prolly gonna be my first and last time grinding for a event…need to go touch some grass…)
git gud
3 in the gun, 3 armed for each soldir, 6 x 9 for 54…impressive the flamepower.
might be one of the few actual good event squad that has been released by quite some time.
i would have placed it behind the 221 with the at rifle, but it ain’t a rider vehicle, so it’s most likely gonna collect dust like most vehicles.
granted, bolt actions above br III is certainly not for everyone.
but as other pointed out, it’s excellent for defense and start engolfing objectives with righthous fire
with that being said, still filled with downside as yet again an unique squad for ussr while i have yet to see an automatic grenade launcher for other nations or generally a mortar prem squad for other nations.
and in this case, a molotov grenade launcher yet again locked for one nation whilw others we’ll never know when such will release.
engineer can’t swap weapon ( which they kinda don’t need GLs )
yet again common standard issued cosmetic gear of the war behind an event and be considered a premium item for no good reason.
might as well remove the concept of event squad and change those to premium squads
( keep on rotation the older prem squads in the ““event”” box )
so again, not very thought out as usual with most things.
but eh, still better than most premiums imo.
Perks are good, people have now given them body armour, people can rain fire on obectives from 100 plus meters, then just stand back and pick people off with the Mosin…pretty good I’d say, playing against the Soviet bias is a pain.
I can see this getting nerfed quickly. For me its great but Japan it sucks …
Secondary gun a grenade launchers and you have full rain of pain
Is there an explanation for why it has normal rifle grenade damage / aoe on top of molotov fire?
I think I know the answer…
