I don´t think all people who wanted CBT squads appropriately nerfed, simply quit. A lot of forum users won´t go that low and participate in local accusation/insult fest. Again, you seem to need reminder (I also mentioned it in topic featured by @_31420124242011, but it is understandable you missed it through spitting all that venom on me lately) that nerf premium squads received was overkill that was NOT requested.
This is what premium squads could be if devs decide they should reverse the overkill part of the nerf and make them reflect their F2P counterparts which is what should have been done since start.
Last time I checked it was still effective and underpreciated weapon. Doesn´t change a thing on my original suggestion tho. Premium squads problem needs to be finaly solved.

I think he’s referring to the PPK42 not the pistol. The 4 man gimped assaulter squad.

That is what I mean… CBT PPK is still very capable weapon.
It is (in comparison) overshadowed by MP41, but that does not make that SMG bad.
I thought he meant the PPK42 squad as it will be usable “in the future”
same shit though. I have both and I honestly like the PPK bout just as much as the MP41.
If they refuse to un-nerf the premium squads to something reasonably in-line with F2P squads they should just dissolve them and distribute the premium weapons amongst squads like the BP weapons. IDC if they nerf them, having squads without engineers or combat mass is pretty useless in the current state of the game.
Additional xp gain can be earned with the soldier equipped with the “premium” weapon. Like spading a tank. Sorry, think I mean talisman.

Well, @Scav_Sergei was one of the first voices who wanted some kind of restoration of CBT premium squads because the PPK one also have sentimental value to him, so I´m pretty sure he was talking about that one.
That would be a shame because a lot of unique uniforms someone had to design would be lost. But if that should happen, those weapons should have increased exp gain for soldier using them just as you said.

We could see those uniforms come back in the inevitable cosmetic update (premium squad owners getting the clothing for free). That’s actually a good point though, I forgot about the uniforms, some of which I really like. The trench coats of the MP41 squad are really baller. The US grease gun squad I think are the only ones to wear the D-day assault vest.
Someone noted the obvious lack of appropriate uniforms for certain units are probably being held back to be released along with cosmetics. Which is sad but probable.
My main point being: Devs need to shit or get off the pot. Offering squads that aren’t relevant to the game at AAA game prices is kinda shitty. Either reverse the nerf, drop the prices dramatically or dissolve them entirely. Something, do something! lol.

Their current price is still set around their overpowered nature from CBT (also, they provided access to CBT which was part of the price)… the fact that those prices stay the same even through nerfs is mindblowing and hard to understand.
They were never ever overpowered though outside of the 7 man LMG squads
That was a good point about the uniforms. I’d miss the assault vests on the US, the trench coats on the MP41 squad etc.

In CBT environment where their perks also allowed them to eat action bolt bullets (and where weapon upgrades were locked behind horrible gambling fest) without a single flinch and proceeding to wipe out entire squad?
Oh yeah… composition was the only problem there huh.
Of course, the first part of premium squad problem is (luckily) not relevant anymore, so we can focus on suggestions how to make fit in the game (and possibly get rid of this problem for good).

They literally could not eat bolt action rounds that’s outright not factual.
They lacked flinch I’ll give you that, but they were far from unkillable.
Only the MG squads because the AI are absolute terminators with them.

I killed prems with stock bolt guns all the time during CBT

Well, grenade, upgraded weapon or 15.0 damage weapon managed to kill or at least down them on one hit, that is true.
Other than that, they could, I was there too, on both ends.
Of course, arguing about that is pointless now.
You could actually kill them fine with the stock carbines and k98s with a single hit and sometimes a followup if they were downed.
I used my shit German gear as a metric since I didn’t upgrade anything on that side.
All the bellyaching about them tanking bolt action rounds was by and large not based in reality.
k98s were fixed back then to provide 14.0 damage which downs them if you take good aim. Before, they were rather shitty due to the nerfs from alpha-CBT transition as far as I remember.
I wasn´t counting headshots.
Neither was I
Never had an issue using the k98s either throughout the CBT
