mk19 fires 40mm grenades, they have an arming distance similar to rpg launchers, you can see some of the shots not exploding because they are being fired so close
because of the muzzle velocity being faster than the regular 40mm grenade launchers they also tend to have a larger area of effect
Yeah! Found that out the hard way.. Lol. They are fun to use, but you do have to maintain a distance.
So many new toys! I'm glad they are further diversifying the load outs of the individual Units/Battalions
Agreed! It’s exciting!
If you are in the gunner seat of the mortar carrier, dont lean back
Great video! Did you play against the RGF Mechanized last night on Kohat Toi? I got the opportunity to use the BMP-2M that match and it was an interesting experience to say the least
Not last night.. it was a couple days ago on Yeho.. It was, ROUGH. Haha
The FIST is a curious addition, Imo either its going to be getting the ability to lazer designate for commander abilities or it might be a test bed for specific vehicles having Thermals? Just a guess though. I dont mind them adding 'cosmetic' varients for specific Units/Battalions to make them more realistic. Speaking of, id like to see some of the Slat armour come over to Strykers and Abrams on "Insurgency" maps.
the fact that they alluded to dedicated aa weapons in the patch notes and said mentioned that 8.0 is a foundation for the future of squad my hopes are high for an ico style update for vehicles. theyve been the same since launch and at this point driving them might be the most immersion-breaking aspect of the game.
I really do think we'll see something related to a vehicle overhaul in the near future.. May take a while, but I do think it would be helpful.
i hope that recon trend is gonna be a thing, id love to see the FV107 Scimitar Mk 2 on the british side.
I would love to see them build that area of the game out more! For sure!
I think we may have a sleeping dragon on our hands with china. Amazing armor and even better tows plus their infantry just got better with upgraded rifles and more Hats.
Could be.. I've yet to get a chance with them since the update.. I will say RGF mechanized is a beast. I think I went up against US mech yesterday too, and that was tough.
They’re definitely gonna nerf that mortar up, those airburst rounds are no joke. 😂😂😭😭
Dude.. they are WILD. Haha
0:55 You didn't mention the Airburst rounds!
8:01 That wire animation on the TOW is great!
It's pretty neat! You can even see the wire on the ground afterwards.
We want a video about the T90. I think its armor is not stronger than the T72b3
it is *technically* stronger but only on parts where it really doesnt matter
frontal turret is 890 up from 700, tank AP couldnt properly pen it before so the only thing that changed is that TOW's wont pen the turret now
UFP is 280 up from 200, makes AP likely to bounce if shot badly
Maybe one day! Not sure about armor values, but I have heard it is different to some degree.
Never played squad
But I do know some stuff about tanks
T-90 has better armor if it has welded armor. But the armor is the same with T72 if it’s cast armor(the rounded turret)
@@yukiakito3083and the eyes act as a active protection system for atgms
@@Slay3Kilodo u know if the eyes work as aps in squad or has that not been implemented
Slay3K des not dissapoint. Thank for this!
Thanks!
I'd have to scroll back to release day but Virus was asked in the discord if the BFIST will have some sort of interaction with mortars or commander call ins, something to that effect, and he responded with "no further comments folks" so that's promising! Seems like it's a bit more than just a balancing addition then, hopefully they can be used for more precise call ins or something. Unit specific commander abilities would be fantastic!
Also as someone who's only ever heard them called "M-One-Thirteens" I was constantly very confused as to what the M11s you were talking about were lol not like there's a "correct" way to say that just made me laugh. Looking forward to finally trying this out this weekend after being stuck at work all week!
Oh I must have missed that! That could be REALLY cool!
Yeah, I realized I wasn't sure what to nickname it.. I was trying to get the video out so I just went with whatever stuck in my head!
I wonder if the BFIST will be a superzoom which can spot targets from across the map. But how do you think it will work with the command abilities?
@@lagboi4539 it has a laser designator so maybe some sort of precision strike? Time will tell if that ever happens
@@GIR9595 Lazer guided precision airstrike or a mortar strike would be neat, but since it's a US army vic, they should get a lazer guided bomb strike for commander
@@GIR9595 Also I was thinking that could the reconnaissance vehicles have some play with this in the futute? Now they're just lighter IFV's
We need upgrades to Blue anti-armor weapons.
Dude my favorite thing with this update is they upped the duration of your stamina bar for sprint to 20 seconds with regen taking 12 seconds stopped and crouched, its been 10 seconds of running since the ico with a 10 second regen, but they changed it! I literally counted out my mississippis after noticing and double checked with a stop watch. Playing infantry might become fun again! Instead of masochistic punishment ;)
Was that adjusted? did I miss that?
@@Slay3Kilo I remember for a fact pre v8 counting the stamina bar out for 10, but I could be wrong, I haven't checked any patch notes to see if the devs mentioned it. Big if true though!
best thing they added was m113 with 120mm mortar
that thing is wild!
@@Slay3Kilo You didn't even mention the Airburst rounds!!
just played against rgf mech yesterday and we had british comb arms. we got absolutely rolled by the bmps. russian mech is so op
Dude.. the fleet of BMPs is wild
they need to add range to the mk 19 because thing is used for long rang indirect fire in real life
i have an rx 570 8gb of graphic card, 16gb of ram and intel core i5 9400f do you think this game can go well? i dont cara if i had to play ion low or medium settings
I'm really not sure man. I don't know that this would run very well.
rgf mech is just motorized but so much better
edit : ig mot has the t90 but bmps are so much better than btrs
agreed
I detest the burst fire for US army and USMC
mortar carrier needs a nerf
whaat? ALREADY? nooo
@@Slay3Kilo those air bursts are terrible i dont want to play the game when they are in it
@@Slay3Kilo they have no reloads and fire too fast, if u ever where shot by one u know how OP they are
Its good that they are very noticable as a heli pilot but man i feel bad for all the infantry down there
@@Lolmason0808 yeah. But u cannot kill then As a heli. They need a reload animation, less range than the grad, and less ammo and 3-4 sec between every round
1st
You got it.
Thx
im surprise the russians didnt got an automatic grenade launcher for building considering they are currently using it by the gazilions
Tlf need more than just a skin..😂 WTH...i think turk have very good mechanized vehicle in their inventory..why didn't use that ..turk should be different than blue force..
Turkey needs some love.. but people don't even use the ACV in matches.. it's crazy.
