Are they event squads?

" lol ", more like, making accountable fools who speaks and knows no better that keeps breaking promises.

i can’t talk for the division or actual regiments those squads comes from, but i do have the pictures:

not much is known, but based on the background and the pattern developers usually follow, it’s famous for being in stalingrad.

but, it’s also worthed to note that it might not be the case, since paratroopers are considered from moscow.

japanese and usa engineer squad are not inside the game yet.

Not surprised, since those nations don’t have any AR in their tech tree yet, lmao.

What do you mean by they?

well, it doesn’t mean anything since most of the weapons of events aren’t available in the tech tree most of the time.

some are either in the editor, or hidden / not included until the actual update ( like the ezrat m10 )

What do you mean? We were promised they will follow concept of Ger/Sov squads. Meaning, you can equip them with ARs, but you dont have to.
Second meaning, you need tech tree AR for that.

ah i see.

yeah, you are correct on that one.

but they’ll might get the actual latest AR inside the update too :slight_smile: or… a new one hard locked.

who knows… as you see, they often change things at the last moment, or change entirely from what has been previously said.

“lol”.

I bet japanese AR Is Just another full auto type hei, and american one Is the base T20 garand, technically those are similiar to the fedorov so Is probable they are used as First assualt rifle for USA and JAP

well, could be anything really.

might as well be british for all we know :eyes:

but yeah, japan options aren’t really limitless either in that regard.

I doubt.

T20 is equivalent to FG/AVT and so. Meaning, it’s rifle2 with full auto mode. And such weapons are normally usable by engineers.

It would make no sense to make T20 AR version.

But they should definitely add T20 tech tree nevertheless.

All allies possible assault rifle i know and people posted use full cartridge, T20 or another would make no difference

Regarding this M2 carabine already do the job of an assault rifle, so balance wise i should Say imo USA dont Need it

Are there any hints at what they could be?

:arrow_double_up:

no.

because there are no squad icons for those. ( at least, in our version )

To be fair, were specifically offered Assaulter Engineers, not the Assault rifles, leaving the door open for them to be equipped with other assault weapons like 1928a1 Thompson, BAR, and Johnson. They also said that the German and Soviet squad would be more valuable, so this could be what they meant.

Would be extremely unfair, inconsistent and overall just terrible decision.

Wen those 4 squad get announced they was promoted with enginer able to use assault rifle

They still could if an actual Assault rifle was added later in the game.

They not, if they add the squad withaut the weapon they should use, the squad itself would be pointless, this Is why assault enginer for Japan and Usa are not in the event because there Is still no AR for them
