We are getting close to the last major update of this year! This time you can bolster your armies with squads that fought on battlefields in the Far East during the final weeks of World War II!
88th Separate Infantry Brigade with PPSh-41 (S) (USSR)
A squad of Chinese volunteers who joined the Red Army and were given Soviet uniforms alongside PPSh-41 (S) submachine guns to carry out their missions.
Under your command, they are ready to show the enemy the full might of the guerrillas.
This squad consists of 5 guerrilla class soldiers equipped with PPSh-41 (S) submachine guns.
77th Separate Infantry Battalion with Captured M1918A2 (Japan)
A squad of machine gunners with captured American BARs who participated in Operation Ichi-Go and later fought against the USSR.
Reinforce your army and let them prove themselves!
The squad can be filled with 6 soldiers: it comes with 4 machine gunners and an engineer armed with Captured M1918A2 machine guns. There is also a free soldier slot for either an AT gunner or an additional engineer, who can be armed with your unlocked weapons. The engineers in these squads have access to a wide range of buildable structures and can build machine gun nests, heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns!

Couldn’t you guys at least change something for the BAR? Like a different skin or the removal of the bipod or something? This is feels rather lazy especially since there was so much to add for Japan …
I was seriously thinking buying the bundle knowing a Japanese LMG was coming but nope, not like this. Plz give us something unique.
Chinese squad looks kinda nice though, but I wanted something for my Japanese line up. I guess I will have to wait until you add something actually unique.
Same with the KE 7 for Germany (Kp 31 sjr instead!), if you don’t have anything to add, just don’t add it plz. Your bloating the TT and wasting a premium without adding anything substantial. Disapointing.
EDIT - 45 EUR, jezoes Christ, for assets already in the game?!
This is probably the worst pre order squad right after the tiger and is 1 skins. Can we stop adding more copy paste nonsense when there are lots of more interesting options available?
Just give it the AT gunner, people want the soldiers in premium squads to have the premium weapon, you did this with more recent squads like the Thompson 7.63. Also, the gun isn’t unique, just more copy paste. Kinda lame ngl.
I have a question outside of the topic. Since a major update will be released soon, will we make any adjustments regarding weapon BR? I think players, including myself, will be looking forward to this news
Can we do something about KE 7? It is boring copy paste and there is no proof that it was used by Italians or Germans. Kp 31 sjr has been sitting in editor for ages and should be added as a replacement since germany actually needs br 5 smg instead of br 3 mg. You switched ppsh 41 s with avt 40 20 so can we do it again?
Considering we will see chinese guys in stalingrad and rzhev. And Soviets gets chinese weapons while Japanese gets usa weapons rather than new Vehicles/Squads etc… I think all that hype for “new frontline” was unnecesary and for nothing. Considering all the hype and time that took you guys to do this update, there should have been “love” and “effort” in this update. as we see during last 3 days, there was no “love” no “effort” as always our beloved darkflow…
