Thanks for participating in the forums!
I personally enjoy this benefit a lot as I don’t play tanks or airplanes. I find what I enjoy or I am good at and usually stick to that. With that said I am not totally sure what the impact will be with giving people more squad choices as I still see people maining snipers in urban environments and sticking with what they enjoy regardless of the efficacy of that choice.
Like with most things there’s definitely room to min-max but how that will play out on a broader scale remains to be seen.
Lastly, remember in order to change your squad rapidly to counter something like that you need to be already dead or suicide/get killed costing your side precious tickets/respawns.
Well they main snipers in urban environments because they do not get a choice whether they get put onto the large D-Day map, where you want snipers, or one of the small cities further inland. Having more squads lets you bring situational squads without any downside, like:
- Mortars which don’t work when most of the map is indoors, or
- AT infantry, which don’t work if there are no tanks to kill, or
- Snipers, which require open areas to be of use
- Radiomen, whose only value is to drop arty and then suicide.
Instead, they can bring 3 SMG/LMG squads, keeping the maximum amount of potential DPS, while also letting you use the extremely potent but niche squads when they are at their strongest. With the extra squads you can buy with the real money on top of this, you can even go as far as taking all 3 SMG and 2 LMG squads in Moscow to have max DPS no matter whether the map is purely short range, or mid range.
Invasion/Assault defenders have no tickets to run out of.

Attacking force does, but I get the idea.
Premium account offering active slots is just pure P2W. The amount of advantage it provides is just too much.
While infantry slot should be entirely condemned, there might be salvation for vehicle slot. For example, it could be a “choice” of vehicle spawn that however locks both vehicles once player makes his choice. Both options will be enabled again after player dies twice as infantry. It is still big advantage and completely kills purpose of choosing type of vehicle or squad composition before going to battle, but it is not so bad as current setting (and let´s be honest here, snail is greedy af, it is unlikely that premium account will end up giving only exp boost).
Another problem is increased reserve… that also can stay if it is toned down by 3/4 (that means max 25 more reserve soldiers).

Well I did mention that one before:
As long as the base amount of reserves does not prevent you from getting every squad maxed out with 5* soldiers, it is only convenience. And even if it did, the solution would be raising the base amount instead of lowering the premium amount.
That would have to be extremely huge amount of “free” reserves to make premium account +100 just an additional convenience…
No, you would need enough capacity for all soldiers in all squads to be 5* (which doesn’t take up reserve slots as they are inside squads), except for 1, which would be 4*, with the rest of the reserves being 1 more 4*, then 2 more 3*, then 2 more 2*, then 3 more 1*, to simulate what happens if you get only 1* from the lootboxes. So the only reserve you actually NEED is 10 or so soldiers to theoretically max everything out.
GAME WOULD BE RUINED IF SOMEONE ELSE HAS A BIGGER RESERVE OF ONE STAR SOLDIERS REEE.
The sensationalism ITT is off the charts.
Ran the G33/40 almost exclusively in regular squads for several matches last night due to conversations on here and racked up 50+ kills and landed in the top 3 on the leaderboard for kills/caps etc. multiple times.

It’s a known fact that if anyone at any point spends money on a game it’s a bad game
The message that I’ve gotten is that having anything good coming with premium is bad, no unique experiences because that would generate FOMO. Devs should strive to not incentivize buying anything from them at all.
Devs wanting money for the product they work on full-time is scumbag behavior.
In fact all premium squads should suck compared to regular squads. I don’t know about you but I always go to my baker and pay extra money to get stale moldey bread instead of getting the bread everyone else is getting… mmm penicillin .
P2W= pay to progress, pay for convenience, basically if you so much as buy gold you have an advantage already because reasons.
I can’t believe the devs gave me such shoddy equipment capable of only getting 100 kills… I am literally forced to pay 100$ maxing out soldiers to compete with the other players
I’m literally crying and having night terrors.
PS: Thank you soviet premium squads for running across open fields allowing me to literally run out of G33/40 ammo one tapping all of you.

The only actual p2w from the monetization that I’ve seen is the extra vehicle (and inf but that’s minor) slots premium time gives. Remove that and the rest is honestly alright.

Cant wait to go broke again 
This. Having 1 vehicle slot is a major balancing measure.

probably the only thing I’ve seen change with the monetary system being added is seeing a lot more tanks now. Lots of setting up outside the zone for defender/attacker attempting to farm kills, spawn camping. Overall just a lot more tanks.
IMO tank spawns need to be hard capped per side or per person or cost 2 respawns or double tickets depending on what side/mode you’re playing.
I sometimes spend easily half the match chasing after endless waves of tanks with explosive charges.

The +2 slots is pretty OP in squad mode. But nothing to do with solo mode. I am already happy with existing 4 squads and I dont like use planes. I rarely dies above 5 times in one solo mode match. (lonefighter)
And this game now is too P2W. And the price is too high.
It should be remove the +1 vehicle slots and reduce the price.
If it’s around 5USD/M, I can consider this is a acceptable price as a paid for once game because only with premium accounts applied this game has the normal grinding time. The F2P is just a “trialed version” of this game. But if they want >10USD/M, they sucks.
Also even the developers themselves know the “reserved soldiers mechanism” sucks and greatly lifted the number to 170+.

Also the +1 infantry spot. P2W advantages for premium time CANNOT be allowed.
