Squad

if it's anything like project reality, it's good either if you go in with your group of friends or once every 12 games

I'm always afraid of this. I've never played a Mil-sim game so I'm sure I would be extremely shit and need my hand held the entire time, which nobody wants to do for randoms in 2019.

bc my internet has been shit lately.

T. Never played the game

Modern military games suck. Everyone running around with a carbine decked out with lasers, scopes, silencers, pistol grips. It's fucking gay.
Too bad RO2 is dead

that's true.

causing physical trauma doesn't usually blow up an explosive right? (unless it's a mine or something designed specifically to be pressure triggered, which I guess that could be but it doesn't look like what I'd imagine a mine to be)

The average player in Squad is considered to be doing fine as long as they can effectively use a shovel and hide from incoming fire.

Are there even aircraft in this game?

I really want to but I just haven't felt like it lately. I heard tanks were cool, though. I might redownload this week and just give a day off to it.

Because I don't care about running around with a bunch of larping incels and racists that wish they were in the military to live out their cawadoody fantasies. If I wanted a deluded man using voice chat to bark out orders that no one will ever follow I'd get a job at a call center.

Last I heard they were planning for Blackhawks.

Aircraft implementation is planned in Alpha 16, Alpha 15 came out this month so its not horribly far off (in theory)

boy you sure are irrationally afraid of anything masculine, aren't you

If it's the same as Project Reality, which I've played, then it's a shit larp game.

have around 200 hours
got bored of it

Because im playing a good game right now

People always say everyone larps and takes the game super serious but in all my hours I've yet to come across anything like that. Unless you consider pointing out where the enemy is as larping.

Yeah, I'm sure that's it. Pretending to be Operator Charlie Uniform November Tango with a bunch of other shut ins is the epitome of manliness.

but no one does that tho? are you suffering from a mental illness?

you clearly haven't played the game if you think people talk like that lol

Bro just go outside today, please. it smells in here.

The moment a """realistic""" game starts adding shit like armored vehicles and aircraft, its already over. There's literally no game that does realistic combined warfare.

Stick to infantry and light transport vehicles. It works much better then

ARMA gets some things right, gets a lot of other stuff completely retarded. It prides itself on Helicopters and their flight model, but then has jets that operate like they're from the 1940s. Like I said, the more you throw in past infantry stuff the more retarded and unrealistic it gets which is a bad thing for a "realistic" game. Same shit for Squad.

Because without a deathmatch gamemode I have no reason to keep trying to git gud when I only get chances to do so 20% of the time.

Ya exactly, but if he has some critically powerful ability it will be madness. Some random takes the role and the server starts spazzing out. It's late at night and no one wants to do it so the server starts spazzing out. He tells a squad on the opposite side of the map to go to the other end to build a sandbag and they start spazzing out. Someone else wants to be commander and they start spazzing out. etc.

Didn't they say the commander will be using off-map call ins like A-10 gun runs or artillery strikes or some shit? That's what I heard but I got it through the grape vine. If that is the case I struggle to see a use for an insurgent commander or militia one for that matter.

this is fine as long as we get our radio for music and garbage truck back

>revive me
>dude just respawn
>scoreboard/tickets
lmao

Even this is insipid, the game is based around risk vs reward, pushing your tank into a good spot to overlook an enemy spawn while infantry push in to take it down exposes you to fire, you must decide where and when to move to be successful as an individual in firefights, how to move your squad to be successful on a macro level within your team, have to place lowest possible risk vs best spot for reinforcements for habs and rally points, as well as allowing routes for resupply to keep your guys stocked on hand grenades and anti tank weapons.

Then their next idea is to add a mechanic where some loser nobody likes will click on the map and instantly do massive damage with literally no risk at all.

What the fuck

>revive me
>everyone dies

I mean what would you do? Reducing spawn time could work. They need to bring back dead dead as it's a community outrage atm

I hate teamwork and in game communication so it's not very appealing.

You're acting like insurgents and militia don't get fucking AA emplacements

Shooting down an A10 with a 800 year old soviet AA truck is not doable.

You're going to shoot down an A-10 with those shitty ZSU cannons that overheat if you exhale within fifty feet of it? Good luck my friend.

It will be a good way to take our mortars and give something for the mortar crew to do

Russia needs to donate S400s to the militia team to take down American cowards in the sky.

What do you mean? The mortar crew should already be firing mortars at anything within range, they should be busy

Play PR and then come back and tell me air vehicles are bad, even with cobra gunners hovering out of the draw distance it was still fun

Those were still risk vs reward m8, the fact that you don't already understand my meaning tells me you might be a retard.

>player in a vehicle even if they're abusing the game's draw distance
>can still be shot down by other players
>ticket damage for losing a vehicle
>the team then doesn't have that asset until it respawns, maybe it doesn't respawn at all before the game is over

Compared to

>commander role clicks on his map
>even if someone somehow miraculously guns down an A-10 with a rudimentary quad barrel gun that can't actually be aimed
>this costs the team nothing
>just wait for 15 minutes or whatever and click on the map again

Remember how I said massive damage for no risk? What are you a fucking retard or something? I shouldn't have to spell this out for you

Who told you that commander assets won't cost tickets and won't be on a cooldown?

>tfw no Kiowa to shoot down
I just want to fear for my life when I hear that little shit approaching

Thats a pretty BIG assumption that shooting down air support wouldn't deplete tickets

Is there destruction?

You can destroy the things that the other team builds.

I already mentioned that the cooldown isn't a significant risk, the devs have said that a JDAM is one of the planned features. Are you telling me you think dropping a JDAM should cost tickets?

What would even be the point of making a super fob if God just drops a jdam from the sky?

So your issue is with them adding that kind of weaponry in the first place?

I would imagine in order to call something in like that you would need to build a forward observation post or something and would need a shit ton of supplies.

This is exactly my point that commander role is obnoxious and retarded

>Let's add jets!
>they fly at the equivalent of 250 mph because map scaling lol
>if they were realistic, they'd fly by at 1500 mph drop ordnance and then fly home without ever coming into contact with other jets

You needed no such supplies for an area attack in PR, it was simply on a cooldown timer.

PR was also built on top of BF2 which already had a commander system in it.

the TOW MRAP and Spandrel BRDM-2 are the most fun assets in the game, prove me wrong

Pretty sure the cap is 9, nice try though.

Because I suck at FPSes. And if I didn't, I'd be playing Planetside 2.

>a squad of 20 people
>maximum is 9 players per squad including the squad leader
Want to know how I know you're telling lies?

I just said squad as in a group of people, I don't remember what the logistics were

Now that's realistic

I swear to the mother of god I am telling the truth

Ignorning the rest of the bait I would just like to say that Karmakut is a faggot who pretends to do all this operator LARP shit in his shitty clan events but in pubs does nothing but lone wolf and expect other people to do what he says.

So either way user is right about the game being filled with cringy larper barking orders? Good to know.

I wish I had a group to play this with.
With randoms it's either hit or miss and usually it's miss.
>That one dude who never stays with the squad
>The squad lead who doesn't talk or the entire squad only has 2 people who talk
>That one zoomer who talks too much
>Squad lead is retarded and does not make good descisions or doesn't allow us to build shit like a ammo crate at the HAB and then tells me to resupply at the HAB.

Well I know for certain you are lying since the maximum number of people in a squad is 9, not twenty, but the rest I can believe.

Defense needs to be done, typically your squad leader should've been on the radio with the rest of the team's squad leaders to know if he has an opportunity to leave the defensive flag and go do something interesting so nobody gets intensely bored but sometimes they are unable to crack an enemy's defense and you need someone to stay on your team's defense all game, it happens.

Ideally if the other squads couldn't break the defense, he should've gotten one of them to rotate onto defense so you guys could head off and actually have something to do rather than just play with your dicks all game. Too many times I've seen the guys who just said over the radio that they'll manage defense just walk off and leave our team's flag undefended only for it to be attacked without resistance a few minutes later and it can mean 30~ other players have a bad game because of 9 people, or more likely 1 impatient retard in charge of a squad.

It is just a game, so not a big deal but when all your fun and effort is spoiled because nobody defended it is a pretty retarded way to lose and very frustrating to boot.

That's mutts for you.
Never had an issue with that kind of Squad Leader in European servers, even with people speaking different languages we at least tried to make it work.

>one retarded eceleb is now the entire community
never reproduce

Cool

how much of the game is actually fun/firefights and how much is it just hiking and dying like other shooters with a realistic base

go back to bfv

Depends on what other shooter we're talking about.
You get into fights faster than Arma 3.
The downtimes are also shorter.

This shit pisses me off so much. US get a fucking MATV with a TOW and meanwhile the insurgents are equipped worse than 1980's mujaheddin.

Stabbing with a knife is not realistic now?

that game sucks. I like a certain level of realism but if I have to crawl through smoke grenades for 7 minutes straight or march for 5 minutes from spawn through an open field It's not gonna be fun

Depends how good your team is, and how good your squad leader is.

I've had games that were 90 minutes of non stop fighting, scouts honour we literally spent 90 minutes in a firefight and I went at maximum something like 2 minutes without personally firing a shot, because I was doing squad leader type shit like moving around and placing new rally points for my guys to spawn in for a better angle of attack. The most boring thing one of my squad members did all game was drive a truck back to main base to fill it with ammo because all 9 of us were almost totally out of ammo.

The new territory control mode is pretty much a constant battle, and I love it.

Those were either funded by the CIA or looted from Iraqi forces (who got them from the usa) when iSIS chased them out.
The dev's reply on this was "realism". Yup.
I'm also mad as fuck that US forces get optics for nearly every fucking squad member while russians get ironsights because it's "real". But hey, the vechicles are better right haha!
>Map only allows you to use 2 basic ass apc's.
Fuck these devs. Play ARMA.

>Well I know for certain you are lying since the maximum number of people in a squad is 9, not twenty, but the rest I can believe.

As I have already said faggot, it was a group of people, I just said squad in the post there for the sake of saying a word. I haven't played the game in 2 years I don't remember jackshit about the mechanics.

It only provides an enjoyable experience under very specific conditions. Most games you join will just be pub-style games no different than BF

You just need an SL that actually wants to do something, some of the best games I've had were finding enemy spawns(FOB) and contesting them, making their whole team turn around and fight us.

Squad desperately needs better suppression mechanics. It's the only game of its kind where people that you are suppressing can just pop out of cover and return fire accurately.

>"realism"
I know right, there's literally videos of these guys using gen 3 anti tank weapons really, in reality, but they're not included in the game because of realism.

Its a good joke, I think the devs just want there to be an overwhelming bias in favor of the USA

>posts the same shit over and over

Kill yourself shill

Videogames are terrible. Name one good one, you cant

Yes, these are usually filled with carnage as there are loads of new people to shoot at and be shot at by. What can seem like a good spot to fire from might be deceptively shitty for one reason or another, maybe easily flanked or easily cut off and if you try to move after firing you realise there is no cover for 15m in any direction, in which case you are pretty much guaranteed to die now that you've been detected. New players tend to do this a lot so if you're good at picking spots to fight from you can get a lot of kills very easily during a free weekend. Sometimes though, they are very bad to play as all the experienced players will (knowing each other by name) swap to all be on the same team so they don't have to coach noobs all weekend, and then they'll proceed to stomp the shit out of free weekenders and anyone unfortunate enough not to swap teams. Since the game keeps the same teams from map to map this could lead to several straight hours of games where one team has basically zero chance of winning, it can and does show the game in a very poor light for any potential new players on that team.

The only good matchup is USA vs RU, and insurgent vs militia. Everything else is an unbalanced mess. Even ins/mil is fucked now since insurgents get 2 habs per radio, to the militia's 1.

Stupid devs but what are you going to do? Arma is terrible for pvp

I'm not OP but SQUAD is better. Much much better. RS2 is buggy trash full of zoomers and the gunplay in ARMA is terrible.

>mods! Mods! MOMMY!

Arma is autistic as fuck though.

Competitive faggots deserve the fucking rope. "Competitive" players in any fucking game are always annoying, self-centered autists. The competitive retards in Squad think that the game should be balanced around the 1% that plays their stupid mod, and they want to drive the game further away from authenticity and similarity to PR because that's "not competitive". They're fucking scum and I wish that the developers would just ignore them.

I just checked the archive for squad threads and couldn't find any of the webms posted herein. You might want to provide source instead my friend.

The ironsights issue could be fixed if they just added a fucking zoom like Arma has, but the devs are stubborn retards and instead just insist that the US be better than every other faction

Then I don't know, I honestly only cared about Arma 2, which is dead now, then Arma 3.
Squad just popped up later, bought it thinking it would be fun. Don't know other modern mil sims that can compete.
Insurgency just isn't a "milsim".

Well, shit. PUBG is the closest I like to get to autism for FPS'

It's like airsoft for people too lazy for airsoft.

4,000+ in game on a Sunday night. Not bumping, but many full servers.

It depends on the server.

HLL

Same. I wish my friends were into FPS, or shooters in general, but all they do is play auto chess and rogue likes.

Airsoft is for underage or britbongs. A real man plays paintball with velocity up all the way.

Yes all the time, I also kick people all the time, I've completely given up trying to debate them all on what they're doing or why it is fruitless.

Alright let me rephrase, do I need to larp on voice or not. That's the deal breaker, I don't care about following orders or whatever

no you don't need to even have a mic

People expect clear indications and silence when SL is giving instructions, otherwise you can take the piss as much as yoy want. Hardcore larpers making you do pushups and shit are generally doing PVE in ARMA.

If you just follow orders and also call out when you see enemies that aren't being engaged you are fine. "contacts SE, 155 about 600 meters"

Alright that's fine, I'm not afraid of voice but I'm also not going "yes sir" to some powertripping fatty 10 years younger than me

No, but many servers will kick you if you SL or armor without a mic. But that's kind of a given. You can be a good squad member without a mic.

The only "larping" you need to do is effective and brief callouts. It's not really larping, either, to say "enemy infantry to the north west about 300 m" - that's just being a good communicator. It's brief, accurate, and helps your squad direct fire.

Yeah using a mic is fine and I'd be annoyed if people weren't doing important callouts either. Anyway when the GPU I'm waiting for decides to stop being back ordered I'll pick the game up

You don't, that's why wars between modern armies haven't happened.

Ideally friendly infantry can locate anti-armor placements and mark them on the map. Then the armor can have a rough idea of where they may be vulnerable. But yes, this.

no, some people say shit like yes sir and tango down but they are a minority.

If you've ever played counter strike or anything similar and just done what your in game leader says, this is exactly like that. Simply expect your squad leader to be calling the plays, some people micromanage, some people give a broader objective and leave it to you to figure out how and why and when.

It might be as simple as "get on the flag and watch out, the enemy are coming from the north" or more detailed "wait here and don't fire, we'll wait for the HAT kit to shoot that enemy vehicle and after it explodes we'll slide in on this east doorway and clear them out"

As a squad leader you can place multiple little yellow diamonds on the map only visible to your team, not opponents, some SL's might place half a dozen of these down and say they want at least 1 player on each marker to defend against an impending push, some guys might just put down an eye marker and say "get ready, the enemy are coming from the eye mark" leaving it to you to pick a good defensive position.

Each squad is different and you might not see eye to eye with every squad leader's idea of how a game should be played but there is enough variety if you don't like one SL you can probably leave that squad and find one you work well with.

It can be a little problem that you'll have 9 guys in a squad, some of them need more precise calls and some guys thrive with vague direction. I would say the golden rule is the less of a headache you are for your squad leader, the more brain power they can focus on getting value out of their less autonomous squad members. In a perfect world you don't have to give any direction beyond an objective "lets take down that radio" and everyone will just play their roles, machine guns covering enemy routes of attack or camping spawn points from afar while the rifles move in, throwing grenades over walls and into windows as they go all without being told, but this rarely occurs

Wasn't going to bother responding to future replies but jesus this is a good post, and especially given the state of modern Yea Forums I'd have never expected it. Don't really know what else to say but thanks, I've seen the autism that goes into Arma and was mostly trying to avoid that

Uhhhh nukes?

No problemo

For me it's muttrah city
