Funnily enough, I just thought that you misunderstood me, or just kept all disadvantages or weak points of what I suggested to yourself (because I couldnt come up with any, if anything, it would give useless asset we already have in game actual purpose).
Alas, I have zero interest to keep digging into that for now.

I try to keep my personal opinion out of things as much as possible, outside of my “moral compass” of ethics, morality, etc.
Please, check my post here. I do have seen weak points of these system
You make a lot of subjective assumptions as counter arguments to objective statements against these features.
For example:
The premium account states you can bring +1 infantry and +1 vehicle squad. As such, it gives OBJECTIVELY more options for use in battle, with OBJECTIVELY increases your ability to adapt to a situation, which DIRECTLY affects your winrate. As such, it is not balanced. Instead, it is pay to win.
And unless you want to tell me you are 100% fine with P2W, proving you don’t have the same moral compass that everyone else here has, there is no way you can justify that with a mere opinion.
You are still missing a point here
Most future Enlisted players won’t spend their money on this game. You complained about stuff being too expensive which is not enough.
You have to ask yourself: "how will this system be friendly to new players who don’t want to pay for this game?’’
Justt like Tcat wrote
If you want to spend all your money on this game that’s okay, but you have to understand not everyone is going to do that as well
So it’s not noooice

This one is also concerning, as what happens if you NEED those soldiers to get your final level 5 soldiers?
Math says you would need up to ~6 soldiers of any class to fill up all your squads, which is a considerable ammount if you consider the 3x3x3x3 soldiers you need per rank 5 soldier. What if you run out of space as F2P?
Honestly after going it some thought the premium time IN MY OPINION is a bit p2w but I think it’s fine. I’m going to compare Enlisted to War Thunder in monetization. In War thunder you can buy crew slots to increase the amount of vehicles you can bring to any respawn gamemode. you can buy the first three in non premium currency. For any crew slot above that you have to buy them with premium currency. In Enlisted you have to pay monthly to get the +2 squads. The only change I would like is the remove the +1 vehicle. Honestly having another infantry squad is pretty small. If they do add premium time as it is I would be a little disappointed but wouldn’t scream about
War Thunder is known to be P2W and is known to be unique enough to not have to care about it as it will keep enough players anyways.
Mortar squad that would be useless on indoor maps
Sniper squad that would be useless on small maps
AT squad that would be useless without tanks
All of these can safely be brought into battle with the extra infantry squad without risk of having a “dead squad” in your lineup due to local battle conditions, so I’d argue it is a bigger issue than you might think.
Even in peak tryharding mode, you can bring 2 SMG and 2 LMG squads to better adapt to the ranges the combat takes place in, in addition to always having at least 1 engineer available for use if you need it and swap between the premium SMG/LMG squads + 3rd squad.
At least vehicles are still locked behind a limited amount of vehicle active at the same time, but for infantry, such limit does not exist.
I think this is not a big problem. I ran out of my reserve a long time ago, but at some point you can just afford to send all unused soldiers to reserve. For me they were pilots in Moscow, every I tier soldiers, mortarmen, AT soldiers. So it can irritate, but it is thanks to RNG based logistics and new waves of I lvl soldiers.
No, I mean, you need so many soldiers, at some point you cannot fit that last level 1 soldier in your reserve that you need to get a level 2, which you would need to get the level 3, and so on. You would have to rely on random chance to get a higher level soldier in those last slots.
how do community managers deal with having to read threads like this?
Removal of posting privileges for a week.
I talk with JagdEnte and as far as he/I know, only a single 24-hour mute was issued yesterday.
I’m just giving my point of view as a F2P player who ran out from reserve 
I personally see it as more of a quality of life improvement and not something that could be considered as an unfair advantage. As I described, when it really happens most of your forces consist of III or couple IV lvl soldiers and you can go into quality over quantity. There are options to fill unused squads full with low level soldiers, sending unwanted ones to reserve… Couple of ways to deal with filled up reserves.

True, I’m just expressing my concerns for if it turns out to be impossible to get each squad filled up with only max level soldiers without having to swap out without buying premium time. That said, if that is the case, I don’t see a need to remove that feature from the premium time. It would only require an increase of reserve slots to make sure you have enough space for it to be possible

Seems reasonable enough, apart from the price which is too high.
Do you think the bonus squad limits will give an advantage, or not?
That does not answer my question.
Does remind me of this:
You can choose to pay a monthly fee and get the 2+ squads. A player has also the option to buy +1 squad in battle with premium currency.
Buy one slot and together with a premium account;
You can take 7 squads into the battle.
You can’t take more than 5 infantry squads or 3 squads with vehicle.
The extra squads through the premium account and the purchase of extra squad slot(s) gives the player a lot more options/counters.
The premium squad is not always available and does not add to the limit of squads you can bring. You can take up to 4 infantry squads and 2 vehicle squads with this premium system.
Or are you saying you have access to the monetization CBT?
Because then we have P2W powerups?
