I got the impression from the patch notes that the Russian Airbourne sniper got a suppressed rifle, but it seems like only the scout class does. Maybe I misunderstood.

The addition of point-shooting with the AK-12 is really, really cool. I have no idea why few games do this but they all should start.

I'm sold. I have played Squad in a year, but if they open the playtest every weekend, I'll be there. Had a very fun game today where two or three squads moved together the frontline a couple meters at a time, it took us 30 minutes to capture an enemy compound. I just hope OWI don't roll back too many changes because of the corner pre-fire wankers that just want high KDR.

https://joinsquad.com/2023/07/19/squad-v5-1-lands-on-july-26th/ We have a date for v5.1 but no actual notes until the 25th. Infantry rework will probably go live then? I'm guessing it's tentative on nothing breaking in the interim which is why no notes till last minute.

I doubt it. I think it's just going to be the new map.

Supposedly, 5.1 is just a new map or that with the introduction of Taiwan. The infantry rework is still ongoing with occasionally play tests to the point where we have several servers completely full. Even for something incomplete, it's that fun.

This might interest some here. We're mixing DCS with shooters, and because one pilot ditched, we're rescuing him in Ground Branch.Yooper posted:Update on Operation Inherent Resolve.

Infantry Combat Overhaul is coming on 9/27. Conceptually I am very interested in a shooter that can emulate "realistic" firefight in terms of squad tactic, length of engagement, etc, but I am not sure if this implementation will have the desired effect. I watched some footage and it seems most firefight still play out the same. It's still mostly the PoV player running around and shooting targets as they appear. I've never seen "suppression" even used much outside of like the first PTE session where people were testing it out. FPS player are trained to only shoot at visible target, it'll take a long time to change (and that's if suppression actually "works").

I really enjoyed the playertests, it's really interesting how split the community seems to be on other message boards. My biggest complain was how unsatisfying the combat felt preupdate. It's not perfect but I'm really excited.

It's way, way better. Personally, I wish they would have went with a more realistic HHL/Ground Branch approach where everything is relatively accurate and super lethal but the game is balanced by the amount of loadouts. But aside from that, I think it'll greatly improve things but the game does need more content, more game modes and more stuff. It also sucks they kind of dropped earlier experimental game modes too.

I stopped playing Squad and the player tests of the infantry overhaul brought me back. I am waiting for it to release to return to Squad. I found it to be game changing for the experience I want.

Played 2 games. Scopes feel situational now. With 4x scope, close encounter with enemy suddenly appearing and getting fired upon makes it very disorienting to reacquire target after the transition to ADS. I think non-deliberate movement is discouraged because it feels like rear end to encounter enemy while moving. Takes very long to bring up your gun, and again, very disorienting when you are shot at while trying to ADS. I can tell it is the same for the enemy too, because often time I'll spot someone, and maybe they'll spot me at the same time or perhaps half a second slower, and there will be an awkward pause as both sides try to ADS. I think up to maybe 20m it will be better to just hip fire, though I couldn't test this theory well because in both game I was using LMG, and the suppression effect was so heavy I couldn't really see where my shots are landing. I have some ideas I'd like to try as SL on how to coordinate, but definitely something I'll have to test out with a familiar group so there's less friction while I work out the details. Edit: further testing, it feels like the problem actually lies in 4x scope being very slow. When you pull up magnified scope your entire screen gets blurry as hell until you get sighted. However, with 4x scope, and especially on MG, it takes a really long time to ADS, so your screen is just blurred this whole time. With 1x scope or iron sight the transition feels smoother. Also M249/Minimi specifically seems to use the MMG hipfire model, so is extra hard to control even at very close range. Something like the RPK seems to hipfire similar to a rifle and you can get decent accuracy with it. pedro0930 fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Sep 29, 2023 |

Update is awesome but I think some things like the time-to-ads or the amount of blur needs to be fined tuned.

Turkish forces is now on the PBE, as well as the new map for awhile now so I guess we can expect them to come out in maybe 2 weeks? So far it seems the special toy Turkish forces get is a 6-shot grenade launcher (I think they also still have the underbarrel launcher as well). Now I have more time with ICO, it feels pretty good to play for my group. We usually do APC/IFV + 2-4 attached infantry, try to nab the HAT if possible. Go set up in the popular rush routes and wait for a few minutes, then flank behind the enemy defense flag with a rally based attack. Alternatively we do defense squad, fortify the position and build mortar/TOW if supply route permits and they can be useful. Had a pretty funny game where after defeating multiple attacks (the enemy has no easy way to get into the compound as we literally blocked all entrances with bunkers and barbed wires), they rammed a car through our first layer of wires, then use the vehicle to boost themselves over the wall into our position. Pretty creative.

Been playing lots of Squad 44 and I wish regular Squad coopted the mechanic of having a dedicated logi / engr squad that can build FOBs and emplacements. I find SLs don't really bother with decent FOBs because it takes you away from leading an inf squad when it really should be a dedicated role. Just bombing around in a truck with another guy and setting up FOBs in Squad 44, setting up kill zones and AP mines and defending them is a lot of fun. Unfortunately the game is sort of stuck in mid-2010s COIN warfare, whereas Ukraine right now is showing how big trenches and fighting positions still are. Prob engine limitations but it'd be awesome if the current HESCO style FOBs got replaced with dug-ins and trenches. Make FOBs stick out less like a sore thumb and make for some cool trench clearing.

The lack of any environmental destruction really hurts Squad. It's incredible otherwise. Too bad EA/DICE won't license Frostbite. I doubt they'd port over to Unity or whatever Battlebit is using.

Faction and map voting is now on PTE so should be coming out soonish. There will soon be in-built map voting system at round end. More interestingly you can also vote for different factions with different force configuration (right now it mostly changes what vehicles are available, but in the future commander call-ins might also be different).

Nice, I may play more often. As it is, 4 out 5 times I spend 20 minutes looking for and queuing into a server only for it to switch to a boring Canada vs Russia matchup or something, so l quit. Now they just to need to allow matchups where one sides has helos and the other doesn't.

Insurgency/militia layer? Anyways, I don't know about shaking up matchup. I think there is high chance we'll see more monotonous matchup with a voting system. Especially good luck seeing Turkish force ever again.

The game is really good and they'll be adjusting the ICO in the next patch. My only gripe is the lack of environmental destruction.

Any goons up for getting our own server since so many are full during peak times? I'd give out admin rights and we could have our own preferred map rotation, etc.

I’d be able to justify like $5/mo for that, but I’d be concerned that the numbers would be low unless someone wanted to dedicate their life to a discord to help mod the server and iron out all the bullshit being open to pubbies would be. I believe it’s actually a requirement to get a server license, or at the very least strongly encouraged.

Is getting a corresponding Discord too much? I'd be fine idling it and just using it for coordination or whatever.
