id rather they dont get picked because most squad players (myself included to a degree) and squad leaders aren't capable of properly playing or leading a light infantry team. the average squad player and squad leader nowadays dont have the skill or competence to pull off it off unless the enemy team is retarded
@@TheSunderingSeaATGM’s are better at range though, by the time a tank bridges the gap to reliably hit an ATGM they’ll already have hit them and bough to kill
TLDR: Being a light infantry brigade in squad is impossible, as it requires coordinated ambushes and team quick response, none of which ever happens in that game. Great video though!
Wowza, I've been in bed all day with the flu or something, I just woke up to see this video went from 100 views to over 5,000. This strategy series is fun to produce and its cool yall find them to be beneficial. If my voice cooperates, the Mechanized unit strategies should be finished within the next 72 hours. I really appreciate the encouraging words and support, thanks for lifting my spirits.
Quality vid through and through. A ton of information broken down into easily digested segments and chapters marked in the timeline. Relevant B roll to boot. Keep up the good work.
i never thought anyone would make a vid like this for squad, thanks. if im being honest, you'll probably climb the ranks. with the video quality, im suprised you only have 282 subs. keep up the good work
I'm honestly suprised to see you're a small TH-camr with how well you broke things down and how your editing is. I can see you potentially blowing up in the future with content like this. Keep up the good work. ^^
Great introduction about the light infantry unit, whether the game video supported your talk or the article writing from you made me watch the entire 10 mins video without realizing
I wish Squad players actually looked at the game as something tactical and strategic, and actually utilized strategy in gameplay. Most players just hold W key from the FOB directly to the objective and steal transports to use solely for themselves, then leave it abandoned somewhere. It's why Light Infantry units never have success in public matches except by sheer chance or the enemy team was off their game... or bugs. Each match literally has a 2 hour time limit and NO ONE makes use of this time to properly organize, plan, and execute. It's just spam spawn and die, rinse & repeat. Cool videos. Would just love to play with people who actually looked at the game in a more critical way.
Its been said before but light infantry requires genuine skill from your commander and squad leaders to utilize correctly which is a massive pipe dream in squad which is unfortunate because playing as a well organized light infantry team sounds fun as hell but i don't personally see it ever happening.
I've always loved using light vehicles to transport my squad around. On yeho we assulted lower mogly with a single tigr setup suppressing for our advancement on the south rockface while squad 5 put pressure on their HAB on the north was a perfect execution of the maneuverability and utility of light infantry.
These videos are absolutely gold. if you have no idea what else to do. You could probably do each individual units pros and cons next. Maybe even weapon guides or gunner/sniper/support/mortar/HAT/LAT guides. IDK, just wanting to help you.
Following the completion of this series, I was considering covering each of the individual units in terms of their specialized roles and assets, so yes! We are on the same page. I appreciate the help and support.
We have 12 factions We have 41 battalions We have 8 different asset layouts and an enormous pool of maps that can be played in hundred of different ways. And still I see the same maps and the same battalions over and over again. They need to add a system where the game does not show the most picked maps and battalions so that every two weeks or so we would see people adapting to different play styles.
Conter-Strike tried that system, where they made it that the most bought guns in the store would rise in price, and the least bought guns would lower. It forced people to play the game in a way they did not want to, and therefor the community had a massive push-back against it and Valve had to remove the change. It sucks for you because you like to play other maps and others factions. But most players don't, they are extremely happy to play predictable maps and predictable factions and there's that :( A work-around would be to make it attractive for people to go out of their comfort zone and try something new. For example, you could have a world leaderboard where people would rank against others, and you would win points by playing (wins, kills, assist, capture etc...). And a ratio would be applied to the points you made on a specific map. The more played the map / factions / mod, the lower the ratio. This means, people would be enticed to try new map / factions / mode because then they rank would rise faster. Just one example.
Great insight into strategy, great cinematography, and great demonstration of light capabilities you're going places. stick with it and don't become the next karmakut or drewski
I haven't really played much regarding light infantry units. It feels like it's just going to be a struggle against an Armored unit. ATGMs will just die to return fire from any tank unless they hit and destroy the ammo rack on the first shot.
Light and fast attacks are all if if the rest of your team isn’t trash and can actually capitalize on your small squads gains. Good luck with that. Good luck getting a bunch of randoms to build a HAB or back you up. Pretty amazing when everyone can pull it off though.
4:15 on the money with insurgents. Played as a sapper the other day, rode the scooter behind enemy lines planting mines deep on the main service road. Ended up getting 16 kills, watched 4 of the vehicles explode with my own eyes.
in my experience, nobody uses the double ATGMs or Tows or they get blown up almost at round start lol, so its just a bunch of light ATs trying to kill a single enemy tank and getting decimated
this would be really useful if people wouldnt go pick one only because it has tanks or sum shit and therell be 10 seconds to try to convince them otherwise anyways
There are methods to achieve higher frames. Just recently I found improvement by opting for DX11 instead of DX12 from within the in-game graphics settings tab. Your Arma 3 experience could be useful and appreciated amongst the Squad community.
This Light Infantry concept has been implemented extremely well in Ukraine and various Spec Ops missions, and I believe it has the potential to be one of the best units in the game. Albeit, it requires immense skill to effectively combat an armored battalion, it can be done; with enough vets and experienced players, maybe it is optimal. I'm extremely excited to see where squad will go with this, and I hope people don't choose the armor every time because of neuron activation when they see they get 3 MBTs.
You're not wrong, but 19 out of 20 matches I've seen, a team with somewhat properly coordinated armour can kick their asses. Not even fair game at that point. Movement advantages start to die down when you realise you just don't have enough firepower to take out the other team's heavy hitting vehicles. Margin for error is lower, and unless you got a skilled team, it's basically useless.
While admirable that OWI would include these sub-factions at all, the devs needs to acknowledge that most Squad players breath through their mouths, have room-temp IQs, and can't coordinate or plan for shit and treat the game like it's Battlefield 3. As a result the factions with the most armor are the ones usually picked, resulting in the factions with less or no heavy armor being ignored and the gameplay becoming stale. It's infuriating to me, as I'm being denied variety in my entertainment in this game because of other people's incompetence.
Not to be that guy, but all I hear in this video are buzzwords upon buzzwords and hypotheticals. Light infantry requires a very particular play style to be effective in any kind of way, and even with that there are objective constraints posed by terrain, enemy HAB / rally point and firebase locations that can easily divide all of your advanced tactics by zero. Cut the crap and get to the meat and potatoes if you want to continue making videos like these and have a meaningful impact on the community. 😊
Can you make a video against OWI putting ICO in with terrible programming and combat overhaul ideas ? Which are not finished and they ruined the game ? You superb editor and talker
Lost 2 matches with motorized so far. It's logistics is abysmal. There should be additional logis to sustain the increased supply demand for infantry and ATGMs. Its weak, but if your team is extremely coordinated and talented you can maybe pull it off hypothetically. But your better off using any other unit type in my opinion.

A shame you'll never see them on map voting servers because most players just see the tanks and go, "Omg they get 2-3 tanks, pick them!"
id rather they dont get picked because most squad players (myself included to a degree) and squad leaders aren't capable of properly playing or leading a light infantry team. the average squad player and squad leader nowadays dont have the skill or competence to pull off it off unless the enemy team is retarded
Proceeds to lose both tanks to infantry in the fiirst 5 minutes of the game*
Tanks are the meta and light infantry, with exception to the Militia w/ two grads suck.
@@TheSunderingSeaATGM’s are better at range though, by the time a tank bridges the gap to reliably hit an ATGM they’ll already have hit them and bough to kill
opposite usually happens on riplomacy but its usually for support instead of light

Exactly
I can’t wait for Princess Patricia’s light infantry to come back and act as Canada’s light infantry unit in game
I serve for the 3rd battalion mountain company(Bravo company) would be cool to play as them in a game

I feel like giving the light inf 1 to 2 more HAT selections would balance them a bit better
God damn, only 180 subs? I thought I was watching someone with 100k. Nice editing
Great introduction about the light infantry unit, whether the game video supported your talk or the article writing from you made me watch the entire 10 mins video without realizing
Super nice editing bruh. Thought i was watching someone with a huge channel
Love the way you do your commentary. Hopefully more videos are incoming! :D
Haven't play squad in about 1 month, trying to prepare my self for the update. Thanks for this video! It helps me loads. Could you make more?
I'm glad it benefits you, and yes, I'm working on the others now. Next up is the mechanized unit type.
never would expect Squad Tactic overview, need more of this! Keep it up and get better from the flu!!

I’m over in Poland and am proud to say I’ve personally met the Queens Dragoon Guards, great guys and even greater soldiers
Awesome video man, please make more on the other battle groups.
It’s Nice Seeing some Real Faction Diversity in Squad

We need some powerful new ATGMs for Light Infantry. Maybe per team one. Something like Javelins, Spikes et cetera

Good luck with that. Good luck getting a bunch of randoms to build a HAB or back you up. Pretty amazing when everyone can pull it off though.
Great video! I wonder what's your graphic settings? It looks so smooth.
Thanks alot! I run the game at 2560x1440 resolution on high settings, resulting in a typical frame rate above 60 fps.
GREAT work man!!
감사합니다^^

Did you go jihad mode?
damn your graphics are amazing
u deserve more likes man
Great content underrated asf

Dude great video
I wish they added more infantry kit variety. Light infantry should get better gear and weapons to make up for the lack of armor
I hate that lashkar valley never gets picked anymore, it’s gameplay is pretty unique
this would be really useful if people wouldnt go pick one only because it has tanks or sum shit and therell be 10 seconds to try to convince them otherwise anyways
awesome!
5:37 That was tough to say haha
finally, only took them a few years....
Guys, Im thinking about buying SQUAD, I have like 2k hours in Arma 3, but I hate playing with 10-30 fps xD. What do you think?
There are methods to achieve higher frames. Just recently I found improvement by opting for DX11 instead of DX12 from within the in-game graphics settings tab. Your Arma 3 experience could be useful and appreciated amongst the Squad community.
Does ATGM destroy tanks with one shot?
Depends on armor penetration point, but usually its two shot kill. One shot only possible if you hit the ammo racks, same as MBT vs MBT
this requires v good squad leaders to work

wait is pwrr in squad?
Negative. I chose to reference the regiment as I felt they properly exemplified real world light infantry tactics.
me playing squad and see humvee without doors: holy allah ak go brrr
