In the new game economy, where new players will barely have enaugh troops for one campaign after just 3 months, old players will not have broznes to upgrade troop II squads so no incentive to use them.
Why bother playing 10h to upgrade single troop, when you can level whole assault squad to max level.
Advanced squads were already barely used, as later unloced suqad require more xp to level. So on top of having to grind 50k exp just to make flametrooper squad playable, who will bother playing next 20h to upgrade new tier 2 troopers.
Another benefit to playing diffrent squads was having more reserve, now we have half of later campaign squads useless. We won’t use tier 2 troopers, as they cost silver we don’t get, cost 3-6x more to upgrade, take another 20h just to level up squad.
I liked unlocking new squads, as usually i already had one maxed at that point, so replacing it and continuing progression felt nice.
Now i will just stick to assaulter and gunner one squads for whole campigns.
We will have even less players playing engineers, flametroopers, radio and mortar squads.
On top of additional silvers everyone begs for now, we also need the cost of upgrading tier 2-3 squads reduced, there is no benefit to them other than one silly perk is changed, makes further campaign unlocks waste of time.
tldr: New udpate will also make more people stick to just assaulter and gunner 1 squads, making this game just one big shootfest

We need to make it possible to pump soldier 1 to soldier 2 for bronze

just fill assault 2 squad with tier 1 assaulters?
I dont think latest update really changed squad variety, it happened earlier when devs released tier 3 squads with powerful automatic weapons. There isnt just reason to NOT use 3 different assault squads as soviet in moscow or snipers with mkb42 as germans
I already have almost all squads on Normandy allied side maxed, i was in process of leveling two last squads before - firetrooper 2 and fighter pilot.
After this update i switched to 2 machine gunner squads and one assault, as i prefer 2 vehicles (bought on slot extra, having only 4 is disgrace).
I already had bunch of level 5 troopers, now that i filled 3 squads i only got 2 guys on level 4.
I won’t ever play firetrooper 2 again, as it takes 20 hours to level late campaign squad that don’t get many kills often. Then it would cost me 100 bronzes to upgrade troops i would barely use, so i won’t bother. If they changed weapon economy in the same way, then you could add some weapon silver order cost too.
I played 3 matches with this setup, most of teammates at this point are bots, or worse somehow. Even with booster to xp every other game progress is just pain, 20 matches to unlock squad i won’t play with, or some another thomson variation.
Would You use maxed thompson or grind another 100 hours to upgrade some diffrent kind of same weapon, we didn’t even get drum mag.
All this pain in just one campaign and i played moslty with premium.
Now i’m glad i didn’t buy year premium on discount, as there is no progress anyway. Playing diffrent campaing for another 200h, just to get to play with same weapons i already have. Transfering weapons is joke too, i would rather roll 9 times for new weapon than transfer one, and i guess the cost of higher tiers will be like 30 orders.
Even battlepass is joke, you used to get more silver orders after it ended, because they delayed new ones so much. Only good rewards were gold orders, wow 1 gun every 3 months, now we got some tank skins too and gold troopers are joke and they know it because it’s the only one ftp players get.
I played and payed for months, now that i stopped i realized how shitty this game treats ftp players, and they trying to make it worse.
Ftp players will quit, matches will be filled with even more bots, even whales will get bored and leave and the game will die
