- Yes
- No
- Make them able to operate further beyond the gray zone just like the Guerrilla squads
- Make it able to put 6th soldier from the reserve(An additional engineer or AT gunner or perhaps a Sniper for it’s spec ops vibe)
This is the squad.
This one feels quite outdated and i have a suspicion that if they were added in the current days, it would have been the Guerilla squad not the regular Assaulter squad as it comes with a silenced SMG along with being only 5 men strong squad.
I suggest either make them able to operate further beyond the gray zone just like the Guerrilla squads or if that’s hard to implement due to the technical issues then make it able to put 6th soldier from the regular reserve(An additional Engineer or AT gunner would do perhaps even a Sniper for spec ops vibe maybe).
In addition to that, this squad forced to have it’s melee weapon slot occupied by it’s own knife and cannot change it to the other melee weapons such as an Axe. What ended up happening is that while using this squad, you cannot use the charge feature at all(The knife does have high sprint speed factor but it’s not the same as having the charge feature honestly), puts this squad in a mobility disadvantage which is very ironic for being the famous SAS squad. Make it so that it’s knife can be swapped to the other melee weapons please.

I think new squads of the released instead of both the Sten Mk II (S) and the suppressed MP-40, as five man guerilla event squads.
Leave the current squads as is, just add new ones, with the same weapon, cosmetics, and squad emblem (just, another company of the same formation or whatever).
The Sten Mk II (S), being the most successful and widely used suppressed SMG of the war does have the historical legitimacy of why it should be the most common one in game, anyway. The MP-40 just gets along for parity.
Like the Type 100 paratrooper SMG, the devs should do stuff like this more often, rereleasing squads, in more updated configuration (for more appropriate squad types, that for example didn’t exist at the time, or has the wrong nationality like the American squad using Canadian Turner SMLEs).
That, or finally let us use cosmetics from owned squads on all other owned squads of the appropriate type nationality, and let us move all weapons and vehicles across squads, event amd premium content included.

I think that the Devs should use another variant of the suppressed sten for a guerrilla squad:
Or maybe even a suppressed Austen:
Adding them as a new guerilla event squad with the same weapon and uniform would be more likely than changing the existing one to act like Guerilla squad knowing Darkflow.
That being said, would you oppose to the idea to make them possible to add 6th soldier from the reserve in the meantime? Because being only 5 men squad is quite a disadvantage and both Sten gun and MP40 are not exactly a top performing gun on their BR either.

Not nessesarily.
Currently, I’m ambivalent on the subject, and I’ll have to think on the subject a little more. I’m certainly not against it, I just don’t know if I’m in favour either.
By all means, the both the suppressed MP-40s and Sten Mk IIs are not exactly cracking as they are, like some of the other 5-man assaulter squad weapons are (see the several Chinese SMG squads as an example), so they wouldn’t break balance by just being one more…
I’ll have to think for some time longer…
