Premiums squads got neutered hard after CBT. They should come with at least one specialist upgrade like current premium and event squads. Hell, since premium squads cost a crap ton they should have their own squad slot. I absolutely despise not being able to play a fair chunk of premium squads I own in battles.

I think myself and @Shiivex have been clamoring for this as well.
The new squads they release and the event squads only reinforce the fact that the old premium squads are very much lacking.

F2P Player cry alot about these Slots, the most p2w inGame are the Squadslots.
I have bn asking for this for a long long long time.
Multiple times.
Let’s hope one day they find a way to make this possible. Would make my squads worth using and ofcorse I would buy more of them.
I always look at the Erma squad in normandy and wish it had a engineer and I would get it In a heartbeat.
One day I wish I see a make enlisted a better place, “we added a engineer on every premium squad that didn’t had one”. And even if they keep the same prices, I can say for certain they would sell way more of them.

There’s a response from keo on another topic the other day that he doesn’t know if it’s possible to change current form on old premium squads.
The cbt to obt change its understandable they could since they reset everything.
But God. It’s like the top 1 thing I want and need in this game. Would make so much of my purchases way more worth to Pick and play with.
Right now tons of my premium squads are on reserve, and I don’t remmeber the last time I purchased one…
All it needs is a 5th member as engineer, and or a 9th one swaped as engineer on trooper squads…
I mean… Is it too much to ask for when they are worth 30-50 euros each…
And every free to play squad, even if the premium get the 5th as engineer can have yet more options. so no p2w at all.

If dev add a specialist to premium squad then you can use for grinding bronze card.
Or releasing weapons then you could use at other squads.
Point is not to feel wasting money.
IMO, premium squads should have their own permanent slots. So lets say you buy the Soviet M3, AVT 40 squad and the Arisaka squad, you’ll have your standard squad slots, plus the 3 premium squads you now own. Would it mess with balancing, probably. Would it also be considered more p2w, likely . But with how grossly overpriced premium squads are, they need more incentive for people to buy them.

it seems the devs always keeps lookin on suggestions on certain topics when they have certain topic on the table and are going to do something about it … i dont know how else could we raise their awareness about this… calling in community helper ? or who then ?

They, according to keo answer, are already aware, ence why they made the current premium interactions with the extra slot, and also according to keo, he doesn’t know if it’s possible to provide an extra soldier, or change old premium squads.

I only agree P2W for Pz.W.42, Calliope, BM-8-24
Others? no I cannot agree especially infantry premium squad easy to say “NOT P2W”
You might understand what I mean
so premium squads are gaijins responsibility ? and not darkflows ?
or why would it be such a problem ?
Darkflow. Game is developed by darkflow.

so keo is developer or moderator ? because it sounds strange that developer would have problem with the design he made and make changes
Keo passes our requestes to developers.does announce news and interact with us. It’s a way for us to communicate with them
Keo is a community manager.
And it’s understandable that some shit can’t be changed.let’s hope they find a way to do it.

its a quite big issue, because it includes money of the playerbase 
because of premiums I can put 4 assault squads up on Normandy axis and the event one has engineer and anti-tanker in it and they all have the silenced mp.
so no so pointless

I guess everything is possible, the question is what’s the complexity vs. opportunity cost (cash).
They could build a system where you for instance get 1 “change soldier class”-ticket per 4 premium infantry soldiers you have.
Tickets only work on premium soldiers. All soldiers keep the squad main weapon, but in applicable cases they also either get the engineer hammer or can equip standard class weapons in the 2nd slot.
Soldiers can be turned into sniper, gunner, engineer or bomber.
I mean guess sth like that is programmable (since if i understand correctly, premiums used to be more customizable in past). It’s all about prios.
As much as the benefit of doubt can be given, I find that hardly plausibile, since there would be no issues if a weapon needed its parameters patched. Or, in example, there was no problem changing inventories to add flask and binoculars slots as well.
In the worst case scenario, they could probably just create a copypaste version of the premium squad, slap in the extra specialist or any other change, and later find a workaround to remove old squad version from players’ accounts while automatically giving them the new version.
