The OPFOR team play that round very intelligently... timing their attack on Pallane, and then digging down their radio was clutch. HNY, Dance, by the way.
Happy new year man!! And yes the OPFOR did very well - especially on executing the counterattack and defense of Pallane despite a full on attack with artillery
No problem! For my graphics I have everything on max, no DLSS, 115% render resolution, high AA, prioritize clarity in scopes. Audio I have all VCs on max with squad chat on left and command on right ear. Controls are default but toggle lean, toggle sprint, free look recenter on, my local and squad comms are rebound to my mouse thumb buttons, command chat to V, and mark observe to G.
More and more I'm finding myself playing on Focused/Milsim servers because of this. I'm still a newish player, but I understand the basics and without comms, it's impossible to win matches 9/10 times.
I’m sure you know, but just in case, you can revive through walls. I know it’s a bit cheap, but in that HAB situation even trying would have probably prolonged your life a little longer since you would’ve realized you were out of bandages in the HAB rather than outside with no cover/concealment. No fault to you though, just food for thought. Glad to see another good Squad breakdown video, and an example of how/when to use formations in a public match. Looking forward to the next!
@ good thing about it is it’s just a game and you get another life to apply the lessons you learned in the previous one. Sometimes so much so you forget old lessons and have to relearn them like this. That’s why Milsim/tactical shooters will never get old to me. You can be in the same style firefight a million times and have a million different outcomes because different decisions are made at different times and lead to new and old lessons alike. Keep up the good work brother!
I took a year hiatus from squad and now I am lucky to get a 7 kill game, any tips on returning players who just cant hit the broad side of a barn? I feel like positioning might be what's getting me killed but Im not sure how to fix it. There are so many teamwork guides on youtube but none for how to be better in gunfights that I could find. I have 500 hrs so I know the basics but I still am doing terrible.
I think first rule is to never be caught in a bad position so keeping to mantras like staying out of the open is inportant. Otherwise imo the key to winning gunfights is stabilizing to get accurate shots first. For me the best way to do that is manage stamina and always crouch before shooting.
To add to Dance's points. Don't peek the same angle multiple times. Fire and then move - the good enemy players will be stationary, looking for your fire. Don't give them a chance to find you, then click your head. Taking the "long way" usually pays off. Rather than spawning rally and running straight in, try to get people to flank around and hit from off angles. You want to confuse the enemy on where your spawn is. Try to never go alone - if you respawn rally and are alone, wait 60s for a battle buddy to spawn in. Suppression and fire superiority is more important than ever.
Im just gonna be totally honest with you, and im sure what im going to say will be very controversial and debatable, but squad is absolutely not played like this, ever. Now you might have your own group where you take every game very seriously and i totally get that and ive seen a few people do that, but in my many hours of playing all aspects of squad this is just unrealistic and shouldn't be a level of standards beginners should expect. Squad is quite a chill milsim game, it maintains a level of professionalism albeit; nevertheless coms like this are just unrealistic and unnecessary. Theres no need to call out single enemies to a direction where you are clearly getting shot from, then calling killing them is just annoying. I totally respect you tryna teach new players stuff and thats great for the community but im just trying to say, this is not squad, there will be such a small chance if any of you ever playing squad with this level of coms, i wouldn't even consider this professionalism. Now while im saying all of these i might aswell give some recommendations: - First of all, it makes no sense that you as an FTL make more coms than your SL - Second of all your you switch your team into 3 separate teams, not two full ftls and a single sl - Only use callouts for actual important stuff, there is no need to callout a friendly tank unless your teammates are absolute noobies - What is this formation bs? squad isnt real life tactics like that arent gonna help you, you're just creating unnecessary distractions. - The whole time you guys are in a very exposed position on those hills, if you have decent experience tanking you know that troops on the hill side like that are just easy kills - You arent fighting the objective just clearing out the outskirts which is good but your team isnt even doing anything on the objective either - Also stop repeating stuff and saying obvious stuff in coms All and all this just looks like a very amature server on both ends, i havent seen any decent tactics asfar as gameplay concerned, to back my claims up i would have personally used the air strike on the point and directed all the vics to get on the main road, smoke shipyard and push all the troops there to get it back, had one squad on the previous caps setting up decent and useful fobs.
I have been looking for exactly this kind of content. Thanks.
Glad to hear it!
Thank you for the love, Dance! That was one helluva match! The squad worked well together and we all had a blast! If only we had captured Pallane
Love the videos, the breakdowns are so important for the player base!
Thanks
I wish people I played with had this amount of teamwork, this is beautiful.
The guys in this squad are a great bunch
You can look for specific server rules that says: "experience preferred" or stick to servers you play regularly on. *cough* 7th servers *cough*
7th Operation Quicksilver definitely has a higher standard of play compared to most servers.
I played with Darkfire and the group during the early ICO playtests.
Best time I've had in Squad.

Love seeing my clan play so well! Good job 5FC
They did awesome
The narration is good.
Thanks!
Thank you for making content that we can learn from!
Additionally, could you give us a run down on your graphics, audio, & control settings?
No problem! For my graphics I have everything on max, no DLSS, 115% render resolution, high AA, prioritize clarity in scopes.

Yeah imo it’s a different level of fun when you can get a group of guys to do stuff like this. Unfortunately it’s rare though.
I’m sure you know, but just in case, you can revive through walls. I know it’s a bit cheap, but in that HAB situation even trying would have probably prolonged your life a little longer since you would’ve realized you were out of bandages in the HAB rather than outside with no cover/concealment. No fault to you though, just food for thought. Glad to see another good Squad breakdown video, and an example of how/when to use formations in a public match. Looking forward to the next!
Totally agree - and even after I realized I probably should’ve gone back in the HAB.
@ good thing about it is it’s just a game and you get another life to apply the lessons you learned in the previous one.

Whew intense stuff
Thanks for watching man!
excellllennnttt!
cohesion down to the fireteam
It was nice.
Nice vid dude!!! Is that a private server or public server?
Thanks! This was on the RCN public server
Love from Ph 🇵🇭
Awesome to see people from everywhere here!
What servers are you active on most? I squad lead regurlary on Invasion only and ODM servers, generally have a pretty good time.
Mostly the 7th Rangers servers

@@HaebyungDance Ok i will try crouching, and yeah I think I get complacent in the open to much.

I wish this would come to console. But on Xbox we do have hell let loose and Arma reforger which imo aren't as good but definitely not bad
qwertz for the algorithm
I appreciate you bro
Dance is that the same darkfire from KC lib?
Yeah!
Can we get an admin cam on this game?
For this round in particular? Unfortunately that’s not possible. For Squad? I already have a couple of videos on my channel if you’re interested.

- What is this formation bs? squad isnt real life tactics like that arent gonna help you, you're just creating unnecessary distractions.
- The whole time you guys are in a very exposed position on those hills, if you have decent experience tanking you know that troops on the hill side like that are just easy kills
- You arent fighting the objective just clearing out the outskirts which is good but your team isnt even doing anything on the objective either
- Also stop repeating stuff and saying obvious stuff in coms
All and all this just looks like a very amature server on both ends, i havent seen any decent tactics asfar as gameplay concerned, to back my claims up i would have personally used the air strike on the point and directed all the vics to get on the main road, smoke shipyard and push all the troops there to get it back, had one squad on the previous caps setting up decent and useful fobs.
