@@A_Honcho I think they removed it to add a different dynamic to the faction. It also makes more sense because they used decommissioned Soviet equipment, and illegally traded US military stuff too. So that it doesn't just feel like more insurgents, but rather something that comes from remnants of a disciplined armed force
I think the most overlooked change in this update is the militia LATs now having two HEAT rounds, I can see this small change being devastating for vehicle crews. Not to mention all the new AT grenades, rifle grenades, etc.
TBH I think they can be OP on AAS layers where they have vehicle parity now. Their infantry absolutely wrecks vehicles. The AT grenades also completely change the dynamic of getting inside arming distance with light vics like BTRS. Overall, I like the changes but some of the layers need a vehicle balance pass.
you can kill some parked IFVs with only 4 AT grenades, and light vehicles like logis with only 2-3. One militia kit can just run around behind enemy lines and force vehicles back to main with hull damage. All without arming distance
It was a good change to get rid of them though, faction already getting plenty of buffs, helps Insurgents not just become worse Militia, and it's not something we have really seen used by the real life inspirations for the faction.
Wild how the militia has been growing and changing so much. I think this update is really going to push the militia into an even playing field with many big factions
it could be done probably easier now. you just act like the tunnel is a pie and send a barrage of fire from an angle that best suits you, as you fire you build another firing position that's creating a greater angle into the tunnel, essentially slicing the pie. Repeat the process until you have full sight of the tunnel and setup two or three points of fire, so you can have constant firing into the tunnel. haven't played for a minute, so I don't know if the layout of the maps have changed. 🙌
I totally love Squad and there's no other game like this so I just hope Devs will never ruin it and will always be in the right path. Thank you Devs you are all awesome.
Invasion layers as or against IMF is pure chaos, theres just so many explosives you can just wildly fire into an enemies direction. Last night I played an invasion layer where we had the grad rockets, the smaller toyota rockets (idk the name), both cannons, both mortars, every squad had the rpg-7 grenadiers, the ambushers with rifle grenades, and lat kits only firing frag rockets. Absolutely insane
Already had some good gameplay with my Breeki Bois. Honestly- love the update as stated in previous videos. Always loved the faction- now I am devoted to it even more deeply with the new take on them. My only gripe: I miss the old flag. :(
BRO! i cant wait to hop back on. we need militia style kit choices for every faction. choices are so nice, lately i’ve been enjoying a red dot or even iron sight to change things up, wouldn’t mind variants of the same kits.
IMF were always my favourite faction, i love insurgents but I absolutely hate desert maps, the sense of having to be more resourcful and creative always appealed to me, all the new additions to IMF are really awesome.
I always liked Militia because of their weapon selection, depending on which faction you are fighting, having their same weapon made sneaking in easy since your weapon fire sounds just like theirs
@@KKKKKKK-sr1fz the only difference between the M4 and M4A1 are the fire modes (until the introduction of the Model 921HB), M4 is semi and 3 round burst while M4A1 is semi and full auto
yeah, and people always name them incorrectly as M4 or M4A1 or whatever lol it's not just Squad but also Project Reality that did this (sadly Militia doesn't have the M4, the US Army does though the IDF has the M4A1 while the Hamas has the Colt 653 and 733/Commando)
you forgot to say that non of the maschineguns fires tracers anymore which is a massive advantage and makes the militia maschinegunner one of the best in the game
Now Russia takes the top spot for most bland faction in the game. Hopefully they get some new additions eventually too AK-12s and BMP-3s wouldn't be out of place in the game at all
All of these changes make the militia more capable in ambushes and defense. Getting 3 timed explosives is worth losing the IED, that’s enough to disable a HAB and destroy their radio without having to get a shovel out or cell phone out. It’s a small thing but it’ll help when you’re by yourself with a dozen enemies nearby
I don't know, i think they are much better defending then ambush. Building these things requires fob, logi and time. People building fobs never realizes 1 man in a camo net equals to at least 5 enemy .
Really hoping the command assets get changed for the regular forces, arty is fine, but the airstrikes, even when getting direct hits on targets, don't damage HABs, don't even try if there are trees, so, I propose, that they introduce guided artillery shells, a single Excalibur (or equivalent munition), on a 15 min wait, cut the buildables and vehicle damage of the air strikes, up the frag radius, and cut the time to 10 minutes, to make them less useful at destroying heavier armour like MBTs while still effecting less armoured AFVs like BMPs or Bradleys, making them more effective against infantry, so say you have infantry attacking a point, you don't have to use an arty on them, you have more options. Also, give the irregular factions smoke arty, creeping and static on 20 minute delay, to promote advancing or retreating on/from fortified/entrenched enemies.
Now will they add scoped gpmg for Canada and British is the real question. Also, I kinda wanted them to add cheap holosun sights to the non conventual factions but it’s whatever ig. Really excited to try out the 76mm, I see it as able to pen any ifv and maybe some tanks depending on if the side is shown, modern tanks do not have a lot of side hull protection
for years Militia was pretty much the most neglected and worst faction, pretty much labeled as "Insurgents without the fun stuff" or "Russians without the good stuff" (like Russians having scoped LMGs/HMGs/GPMGs, Insurgents having stuff like black humvees or hell cannons, etc.), and the entire community kept making posts in the sub reddit about ideas and suggestions (also if Squad actually had jets and attack helicopters like in Project Reality, we could probably add the MiG-17, MiG-19, maybe the MiG-21, or atleast some modified trainer jet) but now about time they can FINALLY stand out from Insurgents and Russians OWI was certainly over due (probably too busy fantasizing or day dreaming about what other emotes they could monetize even though emotes were free in PR), but better late than never
@@A_Honcho definitely shows, though still no scoped FAL, oh well atleast they did SOMETHING with Militia Kinda reminds me of the NAPA faction of Arma 2, where they use older gen vehicles but they don't have any sort of air vehicles meanwhile the Chedakis have a SU-25 jet (if only Squad even had Jets or attack helis like in PR...)
I honestly feel like the miltia and insurgents should have some form of anti-infantry mines. maybe allow us to use the explosive bricks in conjunction with a mine to create a massive explosive area triggered by one mine.
you would just get anti-infantry mines. The Soviets have the "infamous" PFM-1, AKA the Butterfly Mine. You could probably get a dozen for under a grand
i know right ? Project Reality already has attack helis and jets and that game was from 2005 (yes it took some time for alot of updates, but they were still there)
Would've been good to show how exposed the M2 gunner is with the shield! Usually the shield is okay for cover, but since you're seated, I wonder how much is exposed? Great video anyway though!
Why do we dump the empty mags now, wasn't it part of squad to store the empty mags to replenish them with bullets at ammo crates. I don't like it personally.
squad is getting closer and closer to real life. There are some missing vehicles and guns but that's ok. 90 percent of military stuffs are put in the game.
This faction can finally holds its own against heavily equipped counter factions.
Still no atgm.
Shame we cant have IED drones anymore but now with a focus on Ambushing Militia now has a new strength!
@@A_Honcho how can we ambush, when we need to put down a radio just to build all this fortifications, that could be bypassed.

Forces the vehicles to operate the way they’re meant to. As stand-off fire support weapon platforms
IEDs were huge part of the faction. IED bike squads + IED Drone + IED booby traps on invasion post-cap
They should get ability to drop grenade from drone and rearm
It was a good change to get rid of them though, faction already getting plenty of buffs, helps Insurgents not just become worse Militia, and it's not something we have really seen used by the real life inspirations for the faction.
To be fair IED drones shouldn’t be a thing. There’s a weight limit to what drones can carry and one IED is probably 30 pounds of ordinance
we cant use IED vehicles anymore???

A single militia squad will now have more firepower than any faction they go against that’s nasty.
Gotta keep them at range
the big camo net is busted, place that over a hull down and you have a crazy strong btr or bmp
Haha yea, I'm looking forward to doing stuff like that 😂
bmp 1s and t62s have been shat on by modern IFVs and MBTs for too long, its time for revenge
