Lately I have been having matches where my team is winning for near 85% of the match. People are communicating, we are really getting it. Then out of nowhere we start choking and the match is lost.

Had guys on defense the whole time, tried to reign in the deep striking squads on side quests, and get my AT to focus the enemy armor. Having usually about 45 eliminations myself between assets and at least 10 of those from small arms, leading from the front.

At the end of the match I know it was a good fight, but I just feel absolutely burnt. I was literally scrambling for 90 minutes running supplies, dropping assets, building HABs and tearing down old radios. These losses are anywhere from 1 ticket to 60.

Altogether I just felt exhausted and disappointed in losing. I know when I have been beat, I just get frustrated when I am putting in 110% and I feel maybe some of the team is just really there on vacation.

Have you experienced this, how does it make you feel?

Currently thinking of buying squad as it is on sale rn. I have a RTX 2060 super and ryzen 5 3600. Will it be enough for a smooth experience in game?

I got criticised by someone on my youtube video yesterday because I kicked someone out of the squad because they had no microphone. He said I'm the worst type of SL 😅😅

I'm sorry, but don't join a squad with no mic when it says INF MIC REQUIRED...

Do any of you other Squad leaders kick people if they don't have a microphone?

Two months of development. Two months. And this is the grand result. Suppression.

Absolutely groundbreaking work. Someone shoots at you and your gun politely points at the sky. A brilliant solution to the age-old problem of getting shot at. Why improve gunfights when you can simply make the weapon stop working?

And the bullet crack is about 1,000 times louder than everything else. Truly impressive. It sounds less like incoming fire and more like the audio engineer discovered one slider and decided to make it everyone else's problem.

Real incoming fire can give you a sharp ballistic crack from a supersonic round, sometimes accompanied by the characteristic whiz of a bullet passing nearby. This sounds like they recorded a single "CRACK" sample, turned the volume knob until it started clipping, and called it a day.

Apparently, this was already ready two months ago. Which makes the whole "we've been testing it" story even more impressive. Two months of testing and this is what made it through the gates. NASA would be taking notes.

At this point, I genuinely respect the commitment. It takes a special kind of confidence to spend two months polishing a feature that feels like it was added during a coffee break just before lunch.

But hey, at least we got another carefully rationed bone to chew on while the rest of the game sits there waiting.

The competition is coming. And honestly, I cannot wait to see what happens when the developers finally have something to compete against besides their own roadmap.

At almost 200 hours, which i know is low. Can you guys give me tips? I already saw 30 videos on How to be SL, like MoiDawg, HyabeungDance, etc. I dont feel confident enough, but i think i need to push myself to it, since sometimes there's no squad to join (everybody's been there). I play a lot of milsims not that amounts to anything but i got somewhat of a grasp.

Hello Everyone,

We have had some changes in moderation and if you were banned in the past and wish to be unbanned please submit a ban appeal.

I'll say it. Let's go back to the before times between rounds.

No more map voting. Server admins should just set an interesting rotation of maps that balance popular ones with a less played map every once and a while. I don't know the last time I played one of the less popular maps. Nobody has the bravery to choose something different. I understand the popular maps are popular for a reason, but some variety would be nice.

Get rid of rerolls. For the love of all that's holy. They're quite literally pointless. Yes, you might be able to get a better faction one in every four rerolls, but why should that even be a thing? Why shouldn't you just get the six choices that come up? What's the point of the reroll mechanic besides to just waste time? Give me twelve choices at once, or six choices at once, I don't care. I'm having a hard time coming up with a reason why rerolling was even created in the first place.

Finally, give me a "mute all" button please god. Squad chat only is a great start, but I want to mute all of you. I have a youtube vid to watch and you guys screaming "reroll" are ruining it.

I started learning Russian recently and have some questions about how you say some words in Squad. I understand I can use translators but I'd like to hear if any squad terms differ from their literal translations. What words do you use for the following:

1. Rally Point
2. Squad Leader
3. HAB, FOB
4. Ammo crate
5. Enemy infantry (for instance "enemy infantry, south, 185")
6. Armor (generic term)
7. Logistics vehicle

Also some general questions:

Do you use ты or вы to address your teammates?

What is the most common word used to apologize? For instance, apologizing for not speaking Russian well, or apologizing for a team-kill.

Any other Russian language tips are very much welcome.

Огромное спасибо!!

Looking for people to play milsim/flightsims with somewhat regularly. I play squad, reforger, vtol vr, tarkov etc. I'm posting here because I'm not sure what other subreddit would encompass that, but I'm open to suggestion. preference on 30+ age and no racism, homophobia, or misogany.

TL;DR (because this turned out way longer than I thought) - If you are squad leading, confidence is important for cohesion, but do not casually brush aside the advice from your squad (within reason) or treat them like new players that don't know how to play just because they are advising a different strategy. Sometimes, they may know something you don't.

I may need to give some background to this, which may also be a bit of a rant.

I mostly SL nowadays, but when I first join a server, I usually just join whatever squad is open as starting a new one would be pointless as the game is already started or about to start.

A few days ago I joined a squad named "mech inf" on attacking team in an invasion game, cool someone actually using one of the 3 LAVs we have to their fullest.

SL, has everyone load up into the LAV and tells us were going to hot drop on the first cap. I asked him if we were gonna have any help since 7 people alone are not going to be able to take the cap from 20+ defenders. His response? "Nope, we don't need any help, we have a LAV." It was at this point that I noticed the other 2 LAVs were not yet taken and no squad had claimed them, meaning we were going to have absolutely 0 support. I asked the SL if we could at least have a couple of us take another LAV for support since they are all available and he said "No, we won't need them". So I sat in this LAV resigned to our fate, knowing exactly what was about to happen.

For those of you veterans, I don't need to describe the events that followed. You already know what happened. Extremely predictable outcome.

10 minutes later, we basically repeat this same process. And then again 10 minutes after that...

I would have left this squad and joined another if there were any available, but there were not.

By the time the game ended, our SL had lost 4 LAVs in about 40 minutes. 3 of which had all of his squad in it that either died with the LAV or on the first cap. So I tallied the total tickets lost by this one SL to around 70-80. A single SL cost the team a full 30% (at least) of the teams entire starting ticket count with little to no impact.

In all of my 3k+ hours in Squad, this SL had to be the most confident sounding SL I have ever heard. Which, on its own is not a problem and I think is great for making sure your squad at least thinks you know what you are doing.

The problem is when an SL is both confident AND makes poor decisions...repeatedly, while also ignoring or dismissing any advice from his squad. I try not to back seat SL or wreck the cohesion of a squad by openly criticizing the SL, but god damn it is hard sometimes.

Ok, rant over.

Im not one to complain about the game, having played since the Alpha and love it. But im sure ill sound like a broken record here..

Could we please switch how voting maps works- its Mani, Goro, Yeho every other game it feels like!? Seems anytime I log on to play thats all the maps anybody votes for anymore, and its so so repetitive. Yes those maps might be popular but there are people including myself who love the other maps or deserts etc. "Pick a diffrent server" , "join a dedicated server without voting" etc etc.

I feel like they should make it where if you play a map, it cant be played again until a set number of roations. Faction voting is one thing, but why even have all the maps if were never going to play them?

Being a GWOT baby and Vet, hell i love those Asia maps! Its why i got the game because it fixed my itch for game that wasnt as serious as Arma but better than Battlefield. Especially a game that wasnt just USA vs China Or Russia every time. I couldnt even tell you the last time I played Logar Valley for example. As soon as those maps get voted the server dies or gameplay that match is abysmal.

What happened to us just being able to play any map without screaming and forcing the entire lobby to play Mani for the 9th time that day?? Not every match has to be the perfect milsim battle. Sometimes fighting as terrorists vs a OP faction on a "bad map" is what we need. Some might say thats a terrible idea or whatever, but why not every once in a while. Give us those maps, even if its a "bad map layers/ terrain". Go try to win even if you know you wont. Thats the whole point. Thats what makes Squad.
