Squads & Soldiers Preparation for Academy Changes

Mess Room

After the academy is removed the quantity of the correct class of soldier will matter more than rank so I decided to tally up how many of each class I would need to have for the next update.

I realise this may be slightly different for some people due to different squad upgrade choices but I thought some of you might find this useful if you run similar squad compositions to me as just a quick checklist.

I run 8 squads in Normandy and 7 in Berlin and Moscow
Which means I can run 2x tanks 1x plane or the opposite of that.

Assault Squads 1 & 2

8x Assault Soldier IIs

2x MG Soldier IIs

2x Engineer IIs

2x Bomber Is

Machine Gunner Squads 1 & 2

6x Machine gunner IIs

4x Engineer IIs

2x Sniper IIs

2x Trooper IIs

Engineer Squad

5x Engineer IIs

1x Arty guy Is

1x Bomber Is

Optional squads

2 to 3 Attack Pilot IIs depending on max capacity of highest bomber

2x Fighter Pilot IIs

3x Sniper 2s Just in case I wanna run a sniper squad

1x Engineer IIs

1x Bomber Is

1x Trooper

2x Arty IIs + 2x

1x Sniper IIs

1x Engineer IIs

1x MG IIs OR Bomber II

10x Tanker IIs for Moscow and Normandy Campaigns in case I want to run 2x Tanks

Totals Per Class:

8x Assault IIs

9x MG IIs

13x Engineers IIs + 1 extra

3x to 6x Sniper IIs

5 to 7x Bomber s depending on campaign

3 x Arty Guys

3x Trooper IIs or more if you like running trooper squads

2x Fighter Pilot IIs

10x Tanker IIs

4x Bomber IIs

I hope some of you find this helpful.

Normandy - bomber for Axis is useless.

Useful for me. Dedicated tank destroyer troop and mid range marksman. He carries FG42, 1x Smoke 2x TNT an AT mine and Sturmpistol = A tanks nightmare

But hey. If you don’t run that then that’s fine. Do what suits your playstyle and minus that troop number off the total.

I ain’t judging your options here. I find engineer is a must for each sqaud (one for me is enough). Just saying compared to PIAT Sturmpistole is a joke. In other campaigns I agree about bombers.

Yeah agreed their a bit janky to use :joy: at the very least you can disable/concuss the crew while you cook the TNT.

all good . as long as it fits your playstyle, all options are worth going for.

i always go for smg/mg squads as much as i can, and fit everyone with a TNT pack, mines and Large ammo boxes.
always one engineer per squad, and a bomber if i can.
snipers/arty’s i avoid them as much as i can if i can fit other soldier types that suits my playstyle.

i intend to “duplicate” my berlin squads on every campaign i main.
as follow:

gaining stars/weapons and so one will be probably easy for us if they deliver the update they talked on one of lattest devlogs, as we stated on our talks x), all it takes its time.
