Battlefield 1 will be getting Specializations soon, well, after the PC CTE players get a chance to test them. Specializations will be broken down into two variants: Generic and Kit Specific. Each class can access 7 Generic Specializations and 2 Kit Specific Specializations.
At the start, players will only have three Specializations (Flak, Cover and Quick Regen) and the rest will be unlocked when you complete new Service Assignments, which will be featured in the upcoming DLC "In the Name of the Tsar."
In the CTE, all of the Specializations will be available. DICE detailed that the Specializations aren't meant to offer players a leg up over each other, but to allow more strategy.
"Specializations are designed to give players more opportunities and diversity within each kit, not necessarily more power overall. Choices should provide more depth and strategy to gameplay"
