@steinblitz1506 average idiotic gamer that thinks lobbies being MW2 type chatting and talking is great for servers lmao 🤣 quickest way to lose members.
Quick tip for capturing footage, we now have an option to remove the ammo icon on vehicles, in Settings->Interface->Show Ammo Icon on Vehicles. It *should* remove it when in screenshot mode, but that does not appear to work in this update.
Great Video, we can already feel the pilots racing to get the Armed Little Bird. Gameplay is going to have a big change on vanilla after this. We do first come first serve on DMH and there is already a race for regular helis. My god it is going be a redo of the Cas Heli on GE but times 10.
First 10 seconds of the game there will be 7 little birds squads and the rest of the warm-up people will be discussing who actually gets to fly it :D .
That MSV can be a BIG deal Ability to quickly deploy a spawn for entire team and if in trouble just run away with it to deploy somewhere else? Thats really good.
I think it’ll be a great faction for experienced players, a little odd for newer ones. A small, fast CAS heli+a mobile spawn point+tons of great guns for plenty of engagement ranges+fast transports with miniguns Biggest issue is how they deal with armor
@@im_flat That’s the downside for being so highly adaptable and mobile, I guess. They can’t be good at everything, if they’d get a proper MBT and IFV, they’d very likely crush every other faction.
Step one: drop SL and a couple guys on a building. Step two: have logi heli come in so SL can drop a radio on the top of the building Step three: drop supplies, have SL and others jump back into logi heli for a safe lift down. Step four: build hab in a reasonable position. Result: unfindable radio on top of building with a fob that can be repeatedly rebuilt.
Good vid mate, cant wait for this faction. A breath of fresh air imo, something different. Will be interesting how they play out into armored units, and how useful the littlebird smoke rockets will be to cover a friendly push in invasion.
Finally devs are bending the knee and acknowladging that Post Scriptum and its community created great mechanics like riding hanging outside/on top a velhice and the MSVs. The latter something Insurgent forces should have since day 1 tô make up for the lack of helicopters

@@Drearyx And surprisingly something that actually exists from the USA. Same company that does most of the armoring of civilian style vehicles here in the states also make suv variants using that mini-gun. Or they did, no idea if they still are.
@agar8967 then you aren't shooting anything very well past a few hundred meters. Why I hate the marines because you either play with 4x or nothing. Red dots/holos are pretty much the best since ico
Awesome video thanks for all the info. I love the uniformity and lack of customization in squad since it helps immersion but I think everyone can agree having a faction dedicated to the more cool and extreme customization will be tons of fun. Seems like it’ll be well balanced compared to conventional and non conventional factions really well too
The Bots are HUGE. It not only lets you play the game as intended, but it lets you actually get real experience in the game without having to run in Tutorials constantly. Ontop of keeping servers going even when there's zero players. Hopefully they let you do a sort of "instant action" deal like Battlefront where you can pick your factions, your map and just play.
Hey Slay, pretty cool to see an update video about the features! Been a moment since I've played with ya, dunno if you remember (T&E, a long while back). Very detailed vid, appreciate it!
(Волына - volyna - is a slang term for a gun, originating from bagpipe - волынка. And пушка - pushka - literally means cannon. Now, imagine arms manufacturer calling themselves "BIG IRON LTD." and labelling the gun "CANNON™"... Oh wait, there is ZenitKa. Huh.)
tbh I really enjoy your style of showing the new updates, one thing that would be awesome is if you could maybe get admincam on a live game when like for example the heli is flying over and going a CAS run or maybe even all the light vehicles rushing at the start. (just some variation tips but over all great video)
I personally think that unconventional/Independent factions should have the MSV, it would certainly give people more reason to pick factions like the MEA over the usual conventional factions (need some more love for the MEA)
MEA is already really strong faction, given their overall loadout of vics and infantry kits. The real problem are the idiots, who treat every weapon as a godawful M4 carabine - or rather an abundance of them. Hence, battlerifle factions arent picked as often, sadly. So MEA in their current form are strong and somewhat versatile, it just takes a bit of brainpower and verbal skills to coordinate and command properly.
Every faction with the right arm of the free world in it is great. People just try to play every weapon the same and the irregulars usualy have pretty gimmicky weapons that you shouldnt treat like any other
@@wideokompakt7067 g3 came out you couldn't even use it because of bad recoil for months. Then they finally fixed it and it was usable. Then ico rolls out and made it worst than when they came out. They reduce recoil and it's still shit to use compared to any other gun besides turkey. The only thing they have going for the MEA is the armor faction is OP. The MG3 use to be the best gun in the game until ico ruined mgs altogether
@@IvanKolyada I've asked alot of people regarding the MEA, most of them cite the heavy recoil of the G3 in CQB and the light vics as the reason why they didn't go for MEA Personally I love battlerifles, and I usually SL my Squad as a skirmishing unit so it barely matters to me in CQB anyways
This is gonna be by far the most fun faction to play with that little bird as cas and a minigun mounted on top of the suv.. not even mentioning the variety of other weaponry.
Introducing bots means that we are one step closer to having a last stand mode. How fun would that be. 10-15 player teams that hold out as long as they can against waves of enemies.
Cool update for sure, but i hope for next one to be more on the optimazation side and to add weapon resting like squad 44. And not to forget i hope for better animation, most of them look a bit silly. A proper laying down animation would look cool. The game actually would become so much more tactical if we had better tacticala animation. "The game would loose some years".
I just hope they allow us to host our own lobbies and play with bots. Sometimes I just want to enjoy the gameplay elements of squad in an single-player environment.
Ain’t no way! The minigun SUV from arma2! In HD! Goated DayZ vehicle back then, fast, had relatively good armor, minigun and depending on server was relatively cheap.
I’ve never even played Squad and I love it 😆 I follow all the updates, overhauls, new factions yada yada, I’ve just always been too poor to get a decent enough computer to run it. Someday though, someday
You will get one soon ! I play on my brothers PC so I’m lucky I didn’t have to buy one , but my brother built his PC he bought it one piece at a time and eventually built himself a badass computer
Aftermatch result is what we need, especially showing who is the best medic and supply run is the most positive thing we should prioritize instead the player with the most kills
As a commander I would LOVE to see an invasion game with pmc’s vs us. Full combined arms defense against fast moving hard hitting well trained adversaries. Well, that’s IF the damn blue berries listen 😅
Those armored SUVs are often armored to NIJ level 3, with level 4 protection added sparingly around the engine as it increases weight dramatically. There's usually overlapping armor, making the interior completely bullet resistant.
You keep saying “M11 thirteen” it’s an M113 or “M one one three”. The other MRAP is the M1117 Guardian. It is less of an MRAP and more of an armed support vehicle. It is simply called an “ASV”. It really looks to me like this faction is based on Black Water circa 2007-2014. Really surprised they didn’t give them the Mi-17 as BW was using a few of these in Iraq over the years. I do like that they are adding more attachments. I think they see the popularity of the modded servers and realize things like LPVOs, suppressors, don’t really have that big of an impact on balance.
ZenitCO AKs, SUVs, Little Birds and all this is packed into cool PMC faction... Maybe it's time to finally try Squad again? This new faction reminds me of ION PMC from ArmA 2 Private Military Company
Nah its still trash, no new factions can fix the game. Forced balance while simulating asymmetric warfare is literally oxymoronic. The devs and most of the playerbase do not understand what asymmetric means.
It seems strange to me that the PMCs don't get any M2 RWS Humvees, only leaving them with 2 closed-top vehicles one of which is the tank(and I'm pretty sure the m1117 won't have stabilization). Also with them being weaker in the armor department I expected the AT kits to be better than the standard blufor "1 heat for the lat and 1 tandem and 1 heat for the hat" affair. Also, do they get ATGM emplacements?
Excited for new content as always. Just wish the faction wouldn’t be reusing as many assets from other factions. For example, their handgun (G17) is the same used by the BAF. Their sniper rifle is the same as the CAF’s C14. Their GPMG is yet another FN MAG. I don’t think they even get a unique bayonet/knife as a melee weapon. It would’ve been sweet to see something like the SCAR platform featured. When it comes to vehicles, the Loach is the clear highlight, I’ve been waiting for CAS to come to the game for YEARS. Hopefully this paves the way for actual attack helicopters. Then using the M939 is believable, but the US factions should get an updated logi/transport truck to make them standout. The M60T is weird, Turkey is the only country that did that upgrade program to the M60, perhaps it’s a placeholder?
Well I guess the reason they probably decided for the M60T is because they are a PMC and by giving them an M1A1 Abram’s would probably make them more overpowered than they should be. That’s my guess at least.
The fact that they're reusing some assets may seem a bit cheap, but IRL Glock 17 and FN MAG are such staples in their respective categories, that it would be dumb for the PMCs not to use them
@@luger700 Yeah OWI should've designed some fictional M60 with ERA and additional welded armor plates, maybe even anti-tandem cages. That would look nice. Turkish tank looks like some Islamic state trophy
More reason that this has been the best year or so to be a squad player. Went from little to no content updates to whole factions coming out of nowhere
Removing and placing the safety on the weapons in the middle of combat makes the soldier not appear to be in combat but rather in a training shooting range, it is a flaw in the gameplay that they have not yet fixed.
Awesome recap and video! Question, do we expect to get to a 10.0 update or do we think there is a potential more major update/release at that point? Part of me hopes for a more major engine overhaul as the graphics and performance are getting very dated, even compared to Squad 44 and especially the likes of Arma Reforger.
Well, this is 8.1, I feel 10.0 is a ways off. My hope is that we can see optimization updates soon. I know OWI has said they are looking into engine upgrades.. but no timeline.
so... if theres going to be a black-water style 'western' PMC group would it be safe to assume there'll be a 'eastern' PMC goup later down the line? i get the feeling they are setting the board for a Wagner style PMC using Russian and possibly Chinese equipment to be introduced as a balancing act

Their sniper rifle is the same as the CAF’s C14. Their GPMG is yet another FN MAG. I don’t think they even get a unique bayonet/knife as a melee weapon. It would’ve been sweet to see something like the SCAR platform featured.
When it comes to vehicles, the Loach is the clear highlight, I’ve been waiting for CAS to come to the game for YEARS. Hopefully this paves the way for actual attack helicopters. Then using the M939 is believable, but the US factions should get an updated logi/transport truck to make them standout. The M60T is weird, Turkey is the only country that did that upgrade program to the M60, perhaps it’s a placeholder?
Well I guess the reason they probably decided for the M60T is because they are a PMC and by giving them an M1A1 Abram’s would probably make them more overpowered than they should be. That’s my guess at least.
The fact that they're reusing some assets may seem a bit cheap, but IRL Glock 17 and FN MAG are such staples in their respective categories, that it would be dumb for the PMCs not to use them
@@Justa_Guy_YT then they could have gotten the standard M60 or perhaps a M47 or M48, the M60T is solely used by Turkey’s military IRL.
They should've gotten glock 19, glock 22, p226 for pistols, .40 cal pistol would be interesting
@@luger700 Yeah OWI should've designed some fictional M60 with ERA and additional welded armor plates, maybe even anti-tandem cages. That would look nice. Turkish tank looks like some Islamic state trophy
Id like to see more unique mechanics applied to the other factions as well. Maybe do a rehaul of some
That bumper sticker at 3:49 is an inspired touch
That first HMMV at 2:22 seems to have an M2 Browning, not an M240. Massive difference in firepower.
АК-101 PushCo - is a reference to ZenitCo, as well as a play on words meaning a slightly modified word "cannon"(Пушка - Pushka) in Russian
Gives me some heavy Arma 2 dayz vibes
More reason that this has been the best year or so to be a squad player. Went from little to no content updates to whole factions coming out of nowhere
Removing and placing the safety on the weapons in the middle of combat makes the soldier not appear to be in combat but rather in a training shooting range, it is a flaw in the gameplay that they have not yet fixed.
This is awesome! 🔥
Thanks 🔥
I'm getting ARMA 2 flashbacks
Ah. The last fun I had with a classic M14 was in Rising Storm: Vietnam
finally some content for squad
Yessss
Awesome recap and video! Question, do we expect to get to a 10.0 update or do we think there is a potential more major update/release at that point? Part of me hopes for a more major engine overhaul as the graphics and performance are getting very dated, even compared to Squad 44 and especially the likes of Arma Reforger.
Well, this is 8.1, I feel 10.0 is a ways off. My hope is that we can see optimization updates soon. I know OWI has said they are looking into engine upgrades.. but no timeline.
Friendly fire is gonna go crazy
Damn that M1117 tank looks cool!
wat
so... if theres going to be a black-water style 'western' PMC group would it be safe to assume there'll be a 'eastern' PMC goup later down the line?
i get the feeling they are setting the board for a Wagner style PMC using Russian and possibly Chinese equipment to be introduced as a balancing act
RAD! Gives me IRL PMC vibes!
Definitely
@@Slay3Kilo yep, also hope Squad has an official trailer with the Western PMC update.
Minigun goes
Brrrrrrrrrrrr
Hopefully M60T is a placeholder, since it was a turkish upgrade, and something like a M60-2000 is being worked on.
Goated minigun SUV from arma 2, awesome to see
Men be like "hell yeah"
From Magpull to Wormpull and from Black Water to Murk Water XD
