will we be able to use our platoon in battlefield one, or will we have to create new platoons?

Hello! @TheWalrus42023
There hasn't come any information about this as of yet, so we could speculate all we want without us ending up with a definitive answer.
However, if I would guess, I don't think the platoons from BF4 will transfer to BF1. The reason why I don't think they will transfer, is because of the fact that the platoons are created for a specific game, for an example the platoons in Battlefield 3 cannot be used in Battlefield 4 or vice versa.
So with this said, I am pretty sure you'll have to create new platoons in BF1.

Don't forget to "Grant XP" if you're satisfied with the support I assisted you with. Did I help you with solving a problem? - Accept my answer as the solution!

You are correct that DICE has not said anything yet regarding platoons, however your reasoning on the impossibility of platoons being shared is flawed since BF4 and Hardline shared platoons - if you were in a platoon in BF4, you were automatically still in the same exact one for Hardline. The only reason this may not carry forth is if they discontinue Battlelog and hence the Battlelog Platoons as well. I think we should just keep it as "DICE hasn't said yet, please monitor the Battlefield forums for further details."

no infomation yet all you can do is share your platoon emblem via the companion app. but the link also fails after a certain amount of time.. emblems can help distinguish players although nothing beats good old clan tags which are no whereto bee seen. the flip side of custom emblems are the genitals emblems and unlike bf4 bf1 does not allow them to be reported lol. sorry i went off topic. if we are getting platoon support in bf1 we will know in the next month or so
