It’s pretty interesting how prem squads that cost 30 bucks (or whatever they are now with bundles), are much worse to use than regular squads through normal free gameplay. Imagine my surprise when transitioning from CBT to OBT and having the prem squad needed for CBT access, go from pretty decent to flat out useless. The only recent useful one i’d recommend is the Engi one, and that’s would ONLY be if it was $10, $15 at the most, even if prem squads had some of their nerfs reversed.
I agree with having different class types in prem squads, it’s what makes a squad, well, a squad, with supporting roles. However, I disagree about adding radiomen, or even mortarmen for that matter, there’s plenty of those going around these days.
Inevitably one Engineer always gets killed right when I spawn in or my Engineer loves to stop in middle of road to shoot at sniper 100+’yards away even though I have my squad on passive/follow or have ordered my Engineer inside a building. So I say 2 Engineer per Premium squad because one Engi always dies before you get to where you want to go.
