Would of been cool to see a hummvve with a mk19 and a emplacement mk19 on marines radios. I think I speak for most people here when saying more factions need more assest that are unique to them
Yeah, I was hoping for Mk19 HMMWV.
We gave some to the Taliban for free, shouldn't we at least have 1 in squad for fun?
@@EngNerdGMN Indeed and an MK19 as an emplacement is hopefully to follow!
Hopefully with a 90° availability! So we can turn it into a belt fed mortar!
Agree on the MK19 love that thing kinda sad not to see the m249 for marines though thats what I was issued and honestly prefer the high capacity over the weight ..
agreed id also love to see some soviet / Russian belt fed AGLs for some red for factions like the Russians, and or militia for example.
For the authentic USMC grunt experience, you should be issued a box of crayons, a stripper girlfriend and AAA batteries for your equipment that takes only AA's.
What about the Dodge Charger I was promised?? :(
I wish there was a mod that changed the bandages to a box of crayons that the player eats
@@feelfreetoscreenshot1733 lmao that’d be dope just a unboxing animation to some crayolas
I think they should have scuz brushes and NJPs as well
As a former 1833 I'm very surprised they were able to implement the AAV-P7A1 into this game. YATYAS
Fun fact.
The tracer round in real life is made of a 7.62mm cartridge with the head of a 9mm projectile.
The attention to detail by including this tracer round is awesome.
I just wish the switching between firing the AT and Spotting round wasn't as awkward
@@thetrainshop Irl it is. Lmao.
Typically it’s employed with two Marines. One aims and shoots while observing through the sight, the other spots and calls out “lower” or “higher” or “hit”.
Then when they’re ready to fire, the spotter checks the back blast and calls the all clear. Then the shooter yells “Rocket” and they fire, while aiming at the same spot they where when the tracer round hit.
It’s a pain in the ass 🤣🤣🤣
Don't forget the fucking .22 case sticking out the back. Weirdest cartridge I've ever seen.
@@lamberts01 I didnt even know it had that!
I am an AAV Marine, that model is pretty spot on. Though, often we ride with hatches open which allows you to sit slightly out of the vehicle while driving. Also the Marine Corps is still phasing out the M9, we have the Sig M18 now. Awesome video! can't wait to get my hands on one in game!
I understand its a game and they have to balance things but the lack of an optic for a squad leader is odd. Also a corpsman having an M16a4 is very weird. Even when I was in years ago they all had M4s. You didnt want them running around with a musket when they had a medbag to carry as as well as probably having to assist with litter carry. The SDOs put this marines in the game about 5 years behind as they all now have 1-8 VCOGs but I guess it would be sort of OP for everyone to have what would kind of be DMRs. They also need to have Carl Gustav lauchers. Cool they have the 240 with an MDO though. the logi truck is super weird as the USMC hasnt even used that truck since the mid 1990s but I understand they probably didnt want to make a new vehicle model for a truck but the deuce and a half is ancient even for the marines.
I’ve been in still, and as an infantryman it’s kind of painful to see that they still got stuff wrong. Idek why the included the A4’s, we got rid of those bad boys long while ago. I know some pog units still may have them, but not the majority of the Marine Corps. They got the SDO right with the IAR (my unit still uses them), they got the optic wrong on the 240 though. We use MDO’s, completely different sight but still a 6x. I have no idea why there’s two riflemen (which they gave m4’s too, so still…why the a4’s?) but they both don’t have optics at all.
@@Bandit0313 cause OWI is cucked they don’t understand kits at all. I was hoping the rifleman would all get m27 IARs because multiple friends who are in and 03xx said they all have them.
I think it’s just simply to add variety to the weapons, and seeing as how they were only replaced in 2015 by the m4, it’s somewhat plausible for them to not be completely removed from service and that were still be some presence of them.
@@racc626 Most of the pog units still don’t even have A4’s today
@@definelogic4803 it’s the lack of optics in this game that really just makes my teeth grind. I have yet to see one Marine without an optic, it’s astounding that it’s something the dev team is really gay about. “But balancing”, oh piss off. Our 1st world adversaries are well equipped just like we are, and the insurgents have had western made weapons, optics, night vision capability, etc. for years now. Especially now more than ever thanks to the ANA ditching all our shit we gave them. It’s just annoying
When I joined the corps., we didn't have no fancy-shmancy tanks. We had sticks - two sticks and a rock for a whole platoon; and we had to share the rock.
Back in my day we would pour hot wax into the a$$holes of new marines while yelling "WELCOME TO THE CORPS!!!"
can't do that anymore :(
WhAt AbOuT tHaT sCaRAB?!?!1!
The freaking level of detail, and i mean small details, is what adds up to such a beautiful looking, and feeling to this game. It's simply all-around well made and polished, animation, gun specifics sounds, the feeling of weight and recoil, the particle effects... Squad is today, if not the, definitively one of the highest quality products in the games market.
This game is far af from being anything close to polished. It took them almost 2 years for this one update to add amphibious vics but hey lets wait another few months for other amphibious nations. Its just another half baked update like all the others. I still remember when they said they were going to add repelling from helis. Shit that was 5 years ago.
@@SilverDoobie My dude, im sure there are a lot of things we would all like to see in the game. What is your biggest complain that is broken in the game and should be fixed?
@@capsbr2100 One the game runs like a turd even with top end hardware super inconsistent performance, lag with servers because of the games code and the random crashes. Stuff that has plagued the game for 8 years now, and they had the audacity to charge more since the game fully released and still runs like an alpha game. The devs got lazy and complacent.
Okay listen. The game is good, but is by NO WAY a polished game. I have 1600 hours in the game and love it to death. But oh man, the slow development cycle, the lazy development and half baked updates which plague the game with many new bugs and performance issues, the lack of transparency from the devs, and multitudes of missing features which mod teams have been able to implement in just a few months is crazy. The F menu bug has been in the game for YEARS. And I still don't think it has been fixed (maybe it was in this update?). The fact that sometimes IEDs can bug out vehicles so they are destroyed, but don't respawn, is a GAME BREAKING, BALANCE BREAKING BUG which was NOT hotfixed. Again, this bug might still be in the game who knows!
The game has some of the best moments I've ever had, but it is NOT a polished and high quality product I would expect from a fully released game. Maybe you're just comparing it to the garbage we've received from triple A studies in the past two decades. I'm comparing it to the golden age of gaming, where games fuckin worked at launch and ran smoothly. I have a 3070ti 5800x and I still drop to 20fps on Goose bay with the fog. It's actually absurd. Don't suck the devs dicks for adding in marines which should've been in the game years ago.
@@Mrcool179 I agree with what you say i have over 2500+ hours in the game played since alpha v6 and the performance has always been atrocious. I have a 5900x and a 6900xt and the gpu usage jumps from 35% to 80% then to 50% it is probably one of the worst optimized games i play. It is better then triple a games only because it isnt a cash grab. The community i would say is ok but it’s self moderation can and is abused by bad admins and the game devs have the woke mentality sadly. I do enjoy it when the games are fun but that few and far between because 90% of the people who play have a room temp iq and because of that with the small amount of tickets you start with games are over on average in 20-35 min for a game that can last 2hrs. I remember the good days of squad where matches consistently were over an hour in length.
armored troop transports being able to carry supplies is amazing. now it'll be more useful than just the occasional bullet shield on a urban map
Indeed. It will definitely encourage logistics and make fobs behind enemy lines actually possible to resupply.
Oh and can't forget the fact that with the APCs going from fob to fob, it'll actually encourage squads to get a lift in the APC.
People not using APCs for what they're designed for always infuriated me and honestly it feels like OWI gave them supplies just to make people use them right.
Battle taxi emergency resupplies here I come
Took them only 8 years to reimplement something they done previously ... but it's here at last.
All helis in the game should be updated to have similar gimbal camera.
Agreed
They should be updated to have a realistic flight model first of all
@@abunchofiguanaswithinterne2186 A DCS flight model 😈
The gunners should have better fields of fire as well, I feel like they're way too restricted.
@@cappi2437 i have 300h of piloting in squad if you have a good pilot and a guner with a good aim you can be lasering stuff
All present-day USMC are issued with an M27 rifle and an optic. The squad DMR is issued the M38 SDMR Squad Designated Marksman Rifle, which is also an M27 with bipod, suppressor, and scope. The squad LMG is either an M27 or M249 (determined at the unit/mission level).
Also, were you firing on a 3-round burst on the M27? That rifle is semi-auto and full-auto only.
5:10 I was honestly hoping when I heard about this update that you'd yell out for a corpsman instead of a medic. That's an awesome little detail they added and I love it!
Glad that they’re representing us now. Just a few things I noticed off the bat though is that they put that new optic on the 240, meanwhile we actually use an MDO, different sight. They’ve also put in m16a4’s, we’ve all mostly have had m4’s for years now. The SDO they got correct on the IAR which was nice to see, we don’t use 249’s anymore however. Wide FOV on the LAV-25 is off (crewman for LAV’s irl). Then I noticed the riflemen, there’s one that says m4 which has no optic then there’s another m4 but includes “+irons” in the name. Did they mean to add an ACOG to the other but forgot?? They’ve also should have researched recent changes as well because we just started implementing m17’s in the Marine Corps😂
I imagine some of the loadouts are meant to be historical, yall dont have M1A1 Abrams anymore either.
I see in some videos of training marines using m16a4s with m4 stocks, do they still use m16s? And do y’all use the m4a1?
@@avarvar8102 No real use of the M4A1 to my knowledge, and those stocks are called crane stocks, theyre used on rifles meant for people with short arms who cant properly hold the rifle with the A2 style stock.
Erm. Just curious lol. Almost all of the marine corps has M16A4s, and all deployable grunt units all have the M27, M4s havent really been used as standard for 3-ish years. And good riddance. M4s were garbage, its why all the POGs kept the M16A4s. Its also why bootcamp still used them. Though I slutted for the M27 so I could qual with it lol.
@@longwingdetrain3183 m4s are still used today bro I’m not a marine but there are tons of recent videos of marines in training operations using everything from M27s to M4s to m16a4s with M4 stocks
Awesome. I deployed on the Essex! We called it the depressex or the floating shit (because of the #2) I actually have a shitty made TH-cam video from one of our work ups on my channel. We were on the 15th MEU supporting Operation Inherent Resolve.
Nice mate
15:20 I hope one day they will give the commander a variaty of stike types from aircraft, from general purpose\ precision bombs to cluster munitions and gun runs.
arent cluster bombs banned from using irl?
Naval gunfire support, suicide drones…
The ability to call in PGM strikes should be available for most factions, as most Air Forces irl operate multi-role aircraft that are built for such roles.
@@mattias2509 Russians using cluster and phosphorus bombs
@@yaroslavprotsenko4116 well yeah the rules clearly dont apply to them
This must be taking place early in the m27's implementation because I have never seen a saw in the corps and the m16 is pretty rare to see now a days, even in the reserves I had a m27 IAR in my last unit and im not even infantry
Until recently my CEB reserve unit had M16A4s and IARs with a few M4s for NCOs. We now have all M4s and IARs. We have SAWs in our weapons locker, but haven't taken them out since we got IARs. We use the IARs in there automatic rifleman role.
The weapon selection here is a very interesting and is supposed to represent an early 2010s Marine Corps. I wasn't around back then, but use of so many weapons without optics in the game seems like it's more for variety than accuracy.
Now we all have M27's and SCO optics with supressors.
Huh, my unit only has M16A4's, literally 0 M4's. We have a few M249's and couple M240B's. Strangely though we have a ton of the new M18 pistols, so I guess that was the tradeoff.
@@TheBucketBrigade Im at the reserve unit on luke air force now and they got m16a4s, I was kinda sad I had to put down an m27 and pick up an m16 again
@@gigachimp3608 it be like that in the Corps at times. Could be worse though, in my unit the closet thing to an M4 are M16A4s with the collapsible M4 buttstocks. They only issue them to the short Marines and man, I know a lot of guys who get issued those at range
The MK19 firing rate seems a little fast but hey, as long as im behind it i dont mind
Hell Yeah! Got my branch in the game, I really wish they would just add an m27 to all 03 classes ( LMG, Rifleman, SL ) it would just put them at a similar era as the US Army and Australia. I do like the idea of the era changing base on map and enemy like Fallujah having all marines to have m16's but if they are up against a conventional modern conflict type map they get the m4's and m27's this goes for the JLTV and Humvee's as well. Just an idea what do you guys think?
That’d be badass. Not a fan that they have weapons without optics but I guess it’s good for game balancing. So it makes sense. Never seen an 03 without an optic. Shit I’ve never seen admin without an optic lol
Yeah the reason why they didn't give the sl an optic or all kits the m27 is probably because of balancing. If they had all of that plus the javelin, there would pretty much be zero point in playing the US army as the Marines would be better in every way
I'm a POG with a desk job and my M4 has a goddamn optic. This game is cool but it really rolls my eyes!
Yeah this faction kits is a joke, it's like they grabbed random weapons of different times and threw them in a pot. It makes zero sence and one minute there like...it's true to real life. Wile at the same time making it in correct
@@rob15082 i think the game is supposed to be up to date as of like 2018-ish but obviously there's a ton of exceptions to that rule
funny thing tho is that it was accurate in 2018, then by like 2020 the game basically was a mix of everything from the 2010s onward
Lol, I like the floating radar panel at 9:50 just casually asserting it's dominance over gravity.
They need to update the insurgents weapons to m4 w/ acogs and blackhawks, keep up with the times.
So fun fact about why the USMC has the IAR as the weapon for their automatic rifleman as opposed to the SAW when the Army has the SAW and not the IAR. It boils down to squad compositions and numbers. Your typical US army infantry squad consists of 9 men split into two 4 man fireteams and one squad leader. Those fireteams are split into 2 2 man elements consisting of a rifleman, an automatic rifleman, grenadier and fire team leader. Now the typical squad size of the USMC consists of 13 men split into 3 four man fire teams and a squad leader. I remember reading in the navy times back when the IAR was selected one of the chief reasons why the IAR was due to the size of a typical Marine corps infantry squad. 13 guys bringing down a volume of fire is alot more than 9 so the need for a system to produce a high volume of fire is not a needed so there was a bigger emphasis on accuracy. Another added benefit for Marines in Afghanistan and Iraq was that the IAR is very similar in appearance to the M4/M16A4 which makes it harder for the enemy to identify the gunners and take them out because for most squad units that is the highest casualty producing weapon.
I like how you posted this video the literal second the update went live XD
Ah yes when you said “Kinda weird that they give them bipods with no optics” made me laugh, as I’m sure that what the Marines say too. Also just so everyone knows, when people say the Marine Corp is just the Army but 10-20 years behind technologically yet specializes in all things water related, they were not kidding.
at no point in history did the USMC issue M27 without optics. literally every single rifle in the marine corps has had an ACOG and a PEQ-15 or better for like a decade now. not even reserve non-infantry units get M16s anymore, but I don't mind that at all.
Awesome, excited to try out the new stuff!
So excited for this update! Love the content Moi
Beautiful video. Thanks for all the information!
Gotta save this brings back some good memories from BF4. Love the new amphibious stuff. Makes the game a lot more interesting. Love the look of that new island map. Looks pretty fun. I'll definitely go load up squad one of these days to try out all the new stuff.
Also, for anyone who hasn't flown it yet, the UH1Y is a lot more maneuverable then any of the other helis
It really is! It's the easiest one to fly, and the most fun aswell imo.
Love the amount of detail they added, you can really tell they had done their research when creating all this stuff, especially with the M27 IAR. As a marine vet this really made my day! Most line companies all have M27s with suppressors now but if they added that it would be OP lol
Except they didn't really do their research... the loadouts are completely wrong
love it my man
GREAT VID LOVED IT
Great video man
Nice review 🔥👍
yay, new vehicles, ive been waiting for this :)
i have been to but it’s basically a reskin of what we have
@@tylerduchesne7274
Motherfucking armored logi with 3k supply, dude and full auto 40mm grenade launcher.
Helicopter with actual recon abilities.
@Blunt I think this will change when PanAsia comes. But yea you're not that wrong they feel same. We should not forget that Offworld Industries trying to make game better not like other multiplayer game developers. I think Squad will be completely different in 1 or 2 years from what we have today. Because it is really different from what we had 2 years ago.
@Blunt Canada really has some flavour to it tho... but yeah, France, Germany and Israel could be cool af.
And for RedFor we should get some african rebels, idk.
Hey, shouts out for the excellent camerawork throughout this video 🔥
Our M16A4’s use the iron sight that the IAR has in game, but it stays down. We simply use the RCO or M150. Corpsman are navy personnel attached to Marine units. We don’t have tanks anymore. Just an FYI.
Amazing update. I hope to see a M1A1 Abrams deployed by LCAC from the Essex someday. Damn
Marines does not using tank anymore if i am correct
That shot at the end with the rocket strike looked great.
Finally new content! Hell yeah!
Right off the bat I love the tape over the fiber optic cable on the ACOG.
We used electrical tape and this looks like painters tape, still a nice touch
So hype. I live near Pendleton, and this is so sweet!
Man, this looks awesome. Especially the ship/marine stuff - really reminds me of playing Wake Island (BF2 version) or some of the other BF2 maps. What I would give for a jet + landing strip on the same map as an offshore deployment vessel. *dreams*
Oh the glorious SMAW. Nothing makes you feel more helpless than shooting heavy armor with that 9 mil tracer round. and hearing that little "tink". Hahaha
LOVE IT!!!
Wish the devs add a faction to play against all of the overpowered Australians and Marines.
They should just update the pre existing factions arsenal, also apparently according to the comment section the us marines ingame are pretty weak compared to there real life counterpart due to lack of optics and other stuff dont know whats so special about the aussies thoug
We need more conventional opfor factions. We have US army, Marines , aussies, British army, Canada, vs Mea, Insurgents, Milita, Russia. which Milita and Ins are basically the same. If not they need to add blufor factions that would fight the ins and or milita that are not so conventional, just like the MEE mod does.
Yeah can't wait for when China comes out.
The AAV is big. It's hard to appreciate how big it is until you see it IRL. It is the size of a building.
the USMC a M4 does have full auto irl, but the no optics was normal when i was in, basically everything was iron sights and we are expected to use iron sights out to 500 yards.
Don’t know how to feel about the infantry weapons. On one hand, I see the need for balance, and adding the realistic amount of optics that the Marine Corps has would be very strong as a faction. On the other, a good way to differentiate between the Army and Marine is giving the Army primarily red dots and irons, with a few optics, and making the Marine Corps the one with ACOGs and LVPOs as they have them today. Seeing Marines with rifle optics and M27's and M4's would show how different they are. Even going as far as looking at current infantry units and emulating what they look like would be amazing.
The lack of wider spread use of the M27 is also a little weird but again I understand it would be strong. This is just the rants of a current Marine but it’s a good rant. I love seeing my branch here and I’m looking forward to seeing this change the meta.
Well put!
Exactly what I was thinking, alot stood out to me but hope it all gets hashed out later on
From an 0311, pure disappointment. No one in the Corps uses irons anymore, I can't speak for non-infantry, but I only touched an M16 in boot, used an M4 in Inf training, and my service was an M27, standard for all grunts now. There are no M249's in service, and the SMAW is on its way out. The DMR's have a suppressor, and the grenadiers dont carry an M16 or an outdated ass leaf sight, they have M4's with the updated GLS that's basically a red dot. No autoriflemen are ever issued a sidearm in a line company. The M27 is also extremely controllable and able to land 9/10 shots on full auto standing at a 100 yd Ivan target in trained hands.
@@TXJarhead Agreed, we were even moving onto the m320 before I got out. All m4s were even gettin replaced with m27s besides the billet holding marines like SL for example, TLs even got IARs lol. Tanks are out, AAVs are no longer in service, list goes a bit on.
mfw you get to go to war and you get to the armory but they say no optics lmafo
As an AT main, I think that spotting round is a smart choice to compensate the lack of rifle sight and adjustment on zeroing. You dont have to waste any round and it's easily switched between the rounds. That's very convenient imo.
Guess they were trying to get USMC from years ago with the Mix of M27, M4 and M16, SMAW over the MAAWs to allow for more variety while also allowing more flexibility to what the USMC to standout from the Army
Just strange how the M27 doesn't have a Vertical Grip as the Grip and Bipod are standard issue with it or if they are going really early M27 usage I think they tried to use Grip pods instead but switched back to VFG and Bipod, but they have the M38 which I think was introduced a few years ago.
But I guess Squad is more around balance also as pretty much no one runs Iron Sights anymore as most of the Iron Sight diehards slowly got converted with the RCO or CCO depending on Branch after training and getting to use it more
Everyone’s getting LVPOs now too. For better or worse
@@kukri31 lvpo is nice, had to buy my own foregrip though
LETS GO TIME TO CALL THE BOYS
Now we can finally play Marines and insurgents on fallujah
Way too much iron sights for how the Marine Corps is actually equipped, and the helo choice is extremely odd, otherwise it's a pretty good representation (although we just got rid of our tanks)
Love that they're actually making them amphibious, despite my personal hatred for AAVs.
What would be the other option tho?
Isn't the Venom their equivalent of something like a blackhawk?(I know it's a little lighter in a lot of ways but still).
@@matheusgclassen don't really use Blackhawks either. V22 osprey, Chinooks back in the day, and CH-53s
@@A_Qwynide tbh, i'd take the Venom over any of those, just seems like a more fun chopper.
@@matheusgclassen I mean Huey's are cool and all, just not accurate. Like, even if the Marines have a couple kicking around it's the exception to the rule of Ospreys and 53's
The UH-1 Yankee makes sense in the context of the game. all helos currently in the game are medium utility helicopters, being the Army's Blackhawk and the Russians' Mi-8. The Yankee is a direct counterpart to these helicopters, which is what the other guy was saying.
I've never played Squad but after watching your videos I'm really considering getting it. My days started with Halo then COD, Battlefield and now Squad. I really lile the realistic game play and Marines have a really long history of Awesome so this tipped the needle for me lol. Gonna get it and keep posting those videos. I really enjoy your commentaries. GG indeed.
LET GOO I can’t wait to play this and I can’t believe they added a new ranch in squad
Finally seeing the HK416 in-game is pretty sweet
The gun sound reminds me a lot of 2005ish America's Army. Loved that game! (Am Canadian)
With my brother being a former marine this excites me a lot
Can't wait to hear 50 ppl in spawn repeatedly yelling "ooorah"
co-pilot cam HYPE!
Awesome sempre simp for the marine corp I am soooo excited
I love how they have the somewhat newer IARs but still having the us military using m4s despite many units (especially units in combat zones) having fully converted all their m4s to m4a1s
i use to operate the aav the sound gave me chills
You know I like it 👌
I'm Happy that the Marines are in the game because I've played as a Marine since Battlefield 2 and excited to play as a Marine in Squad so Stay Frosty and Semper Fi
AWESOME UPDATE!
I think. That Squad is getting too much BLUEFOR. And will abuse the existing OPPFOR.
Panasian forces are next, and will remedy that situation.
China is next
@@kp-legacy-5477 One OPPFOR for two BLUEFOR. Not balanced
I was deployed on the Essex on the 11th MEU, It's kinda bittersweet seeing it in the game
That camera is awesome
and the 240 scope on the lav
In my unit, sl are issued m4 most of the time. As well as we dont use the rco or sdo anymore. We use the sco as well as a suppressor on our m27's. Would be really cool to see that variation in the game. We also dont use the saw anymore
yet another edit. i was on the essex for deployment. I dont know if ill be playing this game now lmao
So they’re going with a circa 2015 Marine Corps. If they went newer, EVERYONE would have an M150 and M4, and all the line battalions are currently transitioning to the M27 with a Supressor for everyone. Needless to say, giving every infantry role in a faction a squad level automatic rifle with magnified optics and a supressor would be busted.
Hence why the corp is doing just that
If a military game is going for any sort of realism, make it real. The USMC went to M27s, quality optics, and suppressors for a reason, which is to increase their overall lethality. M249s are retained in a smaller number based on the mission and unit-level leadership preferences. M38s are issued for DMR with a more powerful optic. The M240 is maintained for the heavy weapons teams and their medium-MG role. It's a game sure, but trying to balance it by making it absolutely unrealistic (the wrong rifles and optics) doesn't do anything but result in frustration in my opinion.
They also generally gave most marines acogs which greatly enhance those. The Taliban were reportedly shocked and devastated over how many headshots the USMC were able to get on their fighters, of course, this is because being a good rifleman + optics made the difference, and this is from the literal 20 years ago invasion. Too bad we now just gave those freely to them even though arguably, next gen technology is already here. Same thing in history though, people with scopes were considered such good shooters but they just cheated basically.
@@BlackOps78321 You would find the next level of tech (cheating) pretty fun then! The XM5/XM250 standard optic will have a built-in ballistics computer with sensors for wind speed (likely humidity too, and why wouldn't it account for the curvature of the earth), and distance (laser range finder). It is programmed based on the weapon you're firing (barrel twist), barrel length, and ammunition type, to automatically adjust the reticle to where you should aim for an enemy hit at a specific distance using the rangefinder and current wind speed. I believe it was a 1 to 6x optical on the prototype and the 6.8 ammunition allows for effective accuracy out to 800m.
It is also said to offer infrared to every user, a backup red dot site if the batteries go out (like an ACOG sight, no batteries needed if the fancy stuff lost power). Finally, it's supposed to network with a visor-based HUD that would show a map, and the scope itself allows you to hit an "enemy spotted" button similar to the Battlefield series of games, which will allow your networked squad to see the "spotted" location within their ballistic scopes.
The final reported feature I'm aware of is networking between the scope (or the visor HUD, I don't recall) and a camera on the rifle, so you can literally point your gun around a corner and use your reticle to aim. When you combine all of this tech, it's the closest thing I've ever read matching up with gaming wall hacks/cheating. Theoretically, the spotted feature will work through materials, so if an enemy is spotted behind a wall or on the top floor of a building, you would know about the threat and adjust accordingly. Not only will this be insane for your average infantryman, but imagine what a well-trained SOF team could do with that? Holy crap man.
@@BlackOps78321 in warfare I doubt anyone is feeling guilty for having an advantage over The other
dude im soooo excited for the venom heli
Sick
holy shit that was quick
LETS GO BABY
I like the rifles and aav but I hope the next faction added is a little more unique
Seeing that IAR makes me think we should see the new assault rifle from not-PLAGF.
Former Marine 1833 Amtracker here: that “wake plate” is actually called a “bow plane”. YAT-YAS.
That's awesome! Thanks for letting me know!
It's amazing, coming from Project Reality so many years ago to this.
As a milsim player this makes us super excited cause we can now play and run the roles as AG-assistant gunner and then a MG-machine gunner
14:43 I am glad. Because open top MGs typically suicide, the M240 on the M1A2 just gets in the way. Not having that is very nice IMO.
This is cool, never played squad but follow it and enjoy watching game play, hope they look at adding mot of the LAV-variants (irl USMC LAV crewman). At the very least adding the LAV-L variant which is the logistics/support variant. There are also the LAV-M (mortar) and LAV-AT (anti-tank) that have a 81mm mortar and tow launcher. Also all variants have the 240B attached to the the VC hatch.
When I joined the marine corps I took all the doors off everything I owned. So people knew.
are you gonna do an overview of the REDFOR amphib vehicles? Not any new ones but I was surprised it wasn't in this video-
idk what they were thinking with the ak and m4 sounds but my god they sound like toys
Totally getting this just to crew an AAV
Love the rate of the updates right now. Also what a change for the game!
I really wish squad went with the current gen USMC infantry. Iron sights is big boomer energy 🥴
I agree they should all be carrying RCO sights on their m4s and M16A4s and being yelled at for touching the dirt with their barrells
These ARE current gen USMC infantry with a few exceptions. M27s started production fairly recently in 2010. The game just gives iron sights to kits that don’t need scopes to balance them out, such as crewmen and combat engineers. Even then, I doubt the real USMC gives their crewmen scopes and crap that hinder their ability to get their rifles out of vehicle hatches fast.
@@brintheboy4612 OWI basically gave all Marines ironsights in this lol. Its a bit ridiculous. Its like they have a few guns from modern day, and the rest from 2005. The Russians in Squad now are literally better equipped than the USMC.
They have to keep the weapon models balanced though.
Just think of it as the Marine that previously got issued your optic tried to have sex with it and broke it. Extra realism.
@@brintheboy4612 nope everyone at least has an rco all infantry units have high cut kevlars and are starting to get the 1-8 time scopes on our m27’s
Really don't like the lack of optics on most of the USMC stuff. OWI probably needed to do that to double down on USMC being the close combat forces and force unique play and balance against the upcoming enemy factions / maps.
The USMC are the close range force irl or in game? There's a reason every swinging dick in the corps gets a 4x optic and rifle not a carbine, and it aint to fight up close.
Every marine gets an RCO 4x. I think as of recently we are getting 1-6 or 8x scopes
I like it because when I went in the Marines in 2002 we were still using A2's with iron sights. A full sized M16 with iron sights is kino AF IMO.
@@BurtSampson Grandpa go back to sleep. Everyone's been issued scopes now
@@axlem4549 except for the ones who haven't
Can someone explain to me not from a balance standpoint but from a design phyolosophy standpoint why all the iron sights guns still have peq boxes on them? I mean I already have a hard time thinking of reasons half of the factions in squad would issue weapons with iron sights but at least dont then put much more expensive but less usefull equipment on the model.
Moidawg, did you mention the 2 new vehicles Canada got? And can you do a full review in the update?
It’s weird to me that any marine wouldn’t have an ACOG, SDO or VCOG on his rifle, I also wonder why they went with the M240G with an MGO scope when the marine corps uses the M240B with the MDO scope. The M249 is another weird choice considering it got phased out years ago from the SAW role. Also if they wanted to make it really realistic, every rifleman would have the M27 with the bipod, VCOG and NT-4 suppressor, but I get that they need to maintain a semblance of balance, so why not do away with the M249 and give the automatic gunner (along with the marksman) an M27 with a suppressor? That would make the corps in this game a bit more unique. Also get rid of tanks and give the HAT gunner a Javelin, the USMC phased out tanks 2 years ago.
I think they should give riflemen M4s with ACOG and M27s With SDO and maybe a foregrip or just the bipod. Get rid of the M16A4 completely seeing as how infantry units don’t use them anymore and give the AR role an M27 with a bigger capacity mag, I know some units are issuing them.
It’s for game balancing
The lack of scopes makes this faction look very unfun, especially because I’m not one of these gods who can hit something father out than 50m with irons.
Marines don’t have tanks anymore. Should have given them no tanks but a javelin instead. That would be interesting asymmetric gameplay
HOORAH!!
I'm so happy the brought the hummers back!
if you're riding inside the amtrac you should see water leaking from a loose bolt a mech forgot to tighten, just to remind amtracs don't float (well)
Been waiting to finally see the M27 IAR, aka the HK416, added to this game.
USMC just being the hand me down faction is authentic
HOORAH!
