The PLAAGF's big up is mostly its Armor unit. I honestly can't really think of much else to say about it, it's really the most banal of the factions of Squad.

best squad channel imo, squad has a very steep knowledge curve with vehicles, layers, and a million other things once you SL. Keep pumping the player base with knowledge!

I like FTL

Incompetent and cocky Squad leaders should be spoken to directly. SL's that micromanage and yell at people are the worst, I tell them they are shitty at leading and that they can fuck off, then I leave. I'm not trying to change them, because I can't. Incompetent squad leaders on the other hand are ones I try to help by telling them the potential problem or risk with their idea. Sometimes they listen, sometimes they don't. As long as they are receptive I'll stay in the squad. If they keep making boneheaded mistakes while ignoring advice, I'll just leave. I find it's better to lead by example on a server by being an excellent SL and building a positive reputation. That way you don't have to worry about the leadership of your squad, because you take responsibility for it.

squads aiming kinda sucks so aug hip fire is nice during cqb

Not a faction I have played much but I immediately noticed how effective the AUG was for CQB and hipfire. Since I play mostly infantry this makes them stick out in my mind.

I have witnessed couple games, where ADF did have 4 ASLAVs, and still lost. Yes, they are really nimble and mobile, but lack of any hardier and punchier IFV is a minus. Played them with MEA on BMP 1-2s and a single T72. When their Abrams was destroyed, we manged to form a gunline at actual point instead of attacking, and T72 essentialy had a free reign, farming lots of kills (it did matter, since we win by 3 or 8 tickets)

Hmmmmm, I really don't have much to say about the ADF. Like, it really doesn't stand out in my head. Besides that fact that their Mechanized units has no tracked APCs or IFVs whatsoever. IRL the ADF has M113s that it uses which are soon to be replaced by South Korean K21 IFVs. So, there's something there for that. But besides OWI deciding to run against their own unit definitions, I kinda feel the ADF is okay. If your team votes ADF you'll probably do okay.

You missed one of the cons for ADF mechanised inf, it lacks anti tank capabilities due to the inability to set up atgm emplacement

Amphibious Assault units only exist for the sole purpose of certain layers. They are used for the attackers for Sanxian Invasion v1, Harju Invasion v1, Skorpo Invasion v2, Black Coast Invasion v1. Sanxian, Harju, and Black Coast Invasions v1 only allows USMC, whereas Skorpo Invasion v2 only allows all of the Amphibious Assault units. Honestly, they all function more like Combined Arms, except with more amphibious transports of some description and should be treated as such.

I am just 4 minutes in and love it. I say: Lead and coordinate/take responsibility together to give the squad leader more freedom to coordinate with other SLs. I've experienced times when bad leadership broke a team (worklife). And that is only because the team let it be broken by it, instead of carrying the flame from previous good leadership.

Please skip the music in future

It's all great in the theory, but what are the chances of having 3 competent helicopter pilots in an Air Assault unit as well as competent commander and SL coordination with the helicopters. Tanks press W and Left Click, that's the requirement for mediocre play. Mediocre helicopter pilots just crash, wiping out the heli and everyone inside which is minus 15-20 tickets.

I love guides like these that aren't just the standard "Tips to X" videos. Great discussion on the other aspects of squad players need to consider!

This information is very helpful. Kobesheed #1!!!

Mechanized units almost always win against armor squads. Because all ifvs have to do is play objective and they will never see enemy tank.

"Sl can I have Fireteam?, Sl Can you tell the tank that bla bla bla, Omg what is squad 4 doing!!, Sl can you kick this guy so my friend can join, Sl tell Squad 14 that They are idiots! bla bla bla, Sl there is a Btr over there! (it's a transport truck) Sl we need more ammo! ( as if I haven't already asked for it.) Sl Claim this Vic!"( Has no other crew with him)

Guy at 16:20 didn't give up. His timer went out

Great video on a topic that I think is sadly a very common experience. I like to SL and often would like to step up to alleviate a situation but often can't use my mic due to where I live. Might have to try creating a taxi/logi squad in that situation.

Oh hi me. It's really weird to hear myself speak. But, I'm not sure how I feel about being featured in a video about following inadequite SLs. 😂

good video, can I see your graphics settings, cause I don't know why graphic is so bad but my settings are on epic

What was your MOS ? What combat operations was you apart of ?

Worst SL are the ones with grand plans in mind. Best SL I've seen was a guy who found out he got 5 steam-sales newbies in his 8-men sq, so he just gave up actual fighting and spend the whole match with all the sq members in a relatively safe rear point and patiently talks through basics and answers their questions. Me and the other guy just feel ok with it and act like some sort of assistants.😅

And the main thing, plz stop running in most random directions after taking the point. As a sl, I don't want to run after you and risk to face some ifv on my car to take out some random ass player with fish size brain. Moreover, as sl, I often face some guys that spawn on random hubs or main base and then request unnecessary vehicles. Don't do that, don't be assholes(sorry for my bad English)

Sometimes I miss the military, so I sit in a guard post for about 5 minutes in Squad.

I realize that I may underperform in many cases, prob due to pocking up CMDR or playing once-twice a week. But fuck it! Many SLs are not even trying!

It's funny how simple these techniques are but how quickly we forget to use them when actually in game

A lot of this can be mitigated by auto kicking marksmans

this is what we all needed

A squad or multiple fire teams. You mean like a squad?

Good video. Just one thing. I think you underestimate tank's ability to slap down helis. Sure you can overcome this with high levels of teamwork, but I've come to accept teamwork as the exception rather than the norm for squad. Thus I say airborne is a high skill level faction that will not work in most games. But with a well coordinated team it is absolutely lethal.

Do you have any server recommendations for servers with good commanders and people working together ? I used to play potato fields mostly but that was hit and miss

Which is the more versatile unit in your opinion? Motorized or Combined Arms?

I love These Tutorials great work man keep it up 👍

this unit type series needs to be mandatory viewing before players are allowed to vote.

Combined and mechanized units are plagued by the problem of armor squads playing WT style game, or vice versa - deaf and blind infantry. But cases of good coordination are not too rare, and there is one in place - infantry can push out enemies to the last point while AFVs clean up all the mess/patrol surrounding area. I once played a match with my friends, 3-maninng ZBD04. I was vic’s commander and in commander’s spot, while frens occupied driver’s seat and gun. Ended up supporting a little bit push out to the actual point, banished away Stryker, and demolished TOW position. Rearmed and repaired at conveniently built and constantly refueled rep station. And prevented enemy infantry from digging down our radio on defensive point as well as stopping further advance. The map was Talil, so it is not surprise, we had easier time operating almost on our own (although allies moved in after initial deflection to restore FOB). And in the very end we sent in three ATGMs at Abrams tank in an ambush position from an ambush position of our own (hehe), but it only forced it to retreat. Still good enough to render it unoperational. Went 0 deaths. Maybe 1, when I tried to repair engine.

I watched all your videos! Great works! Especially i love the korean military scenes

Nice

first comment, dope video as always

❤

whats this game?

Thank you for this knowledge transfer 🫡

great guide!

I am sorry, but apart from description of factions this just saying in different words "amphibious forces use water, exploit wide shore and are very fast on water". 8 minutes of flavour that doesnt contain any useful information

Can't wait the Combined Arms episode

Really wish the attacking units in invasion got more support, like 50% reduced cooldown of artillery or something, I rarely see attacking units win in invasion

Worst faction types, unfortunately : ( but a good video!

ive been really loving this series. thanks for the w content
