Sorry, I can't hear you over my quad bike horn 📣📣📣
*warthog run intensives*
Alexa, play Ruff Ryders' Anthem
It was a very chaotic and very good update
FINALLY DEMOCRACY has landed ! !
it should be more... "Sorry, I can't hear you over my team screaming nonstop during the map vote faze." 😅
That's awesome they added a horn, but it's silly that its client side only. Just disable horns in staging, and allow others to hear it!
I think this would be a much better solution
agreed much more chaos in staging phase
or make it so if you spam it too much it gets disabled for a second kinda like crouching in counter strike
you would still have friendlies honking it around you on the battlefield, better to not take the risk.
honestley I don't see the problem with horns in staging, everyone is just spamming with their voices in staging anyway that's part of the fun of squad imo
Map voting, sub factions, ATV’s, reduced weapon sway, increased turn radius for MG’s..
These all seem like wins to me?
Now I just want my CAS helos! 😂
If OWI tried to implement CAS helos I think you’d need a quantum computer to run squad
Only little birds like vehicles with miniguns and unguided rockets. Where if you go for an attack you are vulnerable. Apache, KAs style helicopters with their atgms and independent cannon traverse would be op or useless depending what aa you would add. If little birds are in game, you could use them effectively on relatively close range and single 50cal could seriously mess them up, forcing teams to use them intelligently. Imo they should have frag rockets only.
I mean the one they accidentally leaked is probobley still being worked, on, but I wouldn't hold your breath. OWI has a reputation for being, lets say, relaxed, when it comes to the time lines they work on, so probobley at least another 6 months if not a couple years before we get our first taste of that
@@PavelKahun that would be cool, I would be worried still about lag even with frag rockets but I could see something like that working
they can even add manpads to the game just give us our damn little birds@@PavelKahun
the voting is a huge breath of life for the game. So you dont have to get the same layer or play fallujah 20 times in a row
Yeah, but you'll now have to waste 20 minutes between each game...
Pretty cool that 1st Marine Regiment and 1BCT, 10MN DIV are in the game. Both units I've served lol.
1:33 Quad bike offroad going nuts
It’s funny how the MGS gets added when it’s being retired IRL
Also looks like devs didn't see this thing firing. Because they forget to add recoil
It also have four crew members instead of three. This thing has autoloader and automatic rack replenishment system. It doesnt need a loader. MG outisde is for commander, not a fourth crew member.
Squad is mainly a mid 2010's setting.
@@iTomBassyes, it is set in the same universe as the Milsim West infinite 2014 war
Didnt even mention the mortar m1131 that snuck into the background of one of the screenshots from the devblog
Dude. I really hope we will get bluefor mortar carriers.
well that's probably because it's not in the game live yet and more of a tease for the next update lol
I feel like the combat units and map voting is going to cause a meta to develop, which I don't think will be healthy for the game. People are only gonna vote for whatever the best combat unit is, making it hard to experience the rest of them. Just by looking at what equipment is going to be available to each unit it's readily obvious that there are good choices and bad choices. Doesn't sound fun from a gameplay perspective, despite sounding like a good idea from a surface level.
The only way it's gonna work is if the dev have though about it in term of "infantry artillery horsemen" where 1 group is strong only because of the choice of the opponent.
Even if the worst case comes true with this, it will still be better than the current system of mirroring vehicle rosters and very little change layer to layer.
I wouldn't be against conditional exclusions for some factions.
E.g. if Team 1 picks light Infantry, team 2 can't pick heavy armour to squash them, but can still pick Motorised or Mechanised.
Could make for interesting tactical choices for your team's loadout if you know armour is powerful for the opposing team on certain maps.
It is absolutely fun to be able to chose yourself, but some divisions definitely are just plain better than others.
For example, on Falluja you could pick a Rus brigade with two instant T72s and two BMP2s right off the bat and go clear the map with minimal resistance - or a Turkish faction that has no access to heavy AT with only a single Pars 25mm and one M60 tank on delayed spawn. When we played that we got stomped to the stoneage, with not a single death and 100+ kills between the enemy vic squads. It was kind of exciting because every time you heard armor approaching it was like the preamble to a boss fight, but at the same time being camped on nearly every hab by unkillable armor was not fun.
It is a common strategy of live games to intentionally change their games significantly to force a meta change to keep the game fresh.
We've gone through many and don't see that as wrong.
We are glad people are enjoying it for now.
I'm super excited to see what faction could possibly come this year e.g. JSDF (Japan), and maybe even the French mod could become a proper faction in game similar to how the Australians became a faction.
Taiwan hopefully
The french mod is long overdue... I mean c'mon, the thing comes with 2 different versions of the faction, with vehicles and original maps. Just let us play the thing already...
@@loganlee2028 This isnt anything on OWI, the mod has to be finished for them to implement it, and Tactical collective is the one that insists its not finished, which is true, they still dont even have the PVP so that they have a car.
@@evangelosvasiliades1204 why does it have to be 100% finished arent they the devs ? can they not also do their part ?
I want Japan's JSDF so bad
The asymmetry brought on by the unit system has the game feeling super fresh.
You have to actually be conscious of what your factions strengths and weaknesses are especially when combined with the map.
Last night we have the enemy team pick a light infantry unit on attack on Mutaha invasion and they got absolutely decimated by INS mechanized. If they'd picked something heavier it would have been a different story
Squad has already a steep learning curve, now people have to learn by heart so much information and vote in a few seconds.
Completely agree, but its not all about the pick, its just another layer to the onion, I would argue that light infantry with it's two atgm vehicles can perform very well against Armored and Mechanized, but it needs atgm players who know what they are doing, BUT admittedly it doesnt do as well against INS and MIL versions of these units because of the raw number of vehicles they get compared to a conventional armored unit.
My second game on the system felt like such a perfect showcase of it, won as British Airborne vs Russian Tank Company, thats a big armour imbalance and airborne doesnt even get atgm vehicles, but we won a close game off of the power of capping middle obj first and then using the double atgm emplacements to terrific effect. It felt incredibly satisfying.
im finally able to play every conventional faction like militia
@@Fabzil ppl still learning can choose servers which don't have map voting system.
@@Fabzilsteep learning curve? Try DCS
Looks like I’m taking a break from hell divers this weekend! Excited to check this out, thanks for the update breakdown 🙏🏼
You know this update is crazy good when you only have 100 hrs from a year ago, played 10 hrs in the last few days, and complained about fixes that were introduced here. Like the swaying in binoculars or the overall sway of some of these scopes. or the atrocious looking sight innards. Looked cool but felt weird.
Been playing since 2016 and not a fan of weapon away update.
Noo!! I was a huge fan of the scope bob while feeling the sway could still come down a bit.
The way you could see the sides of the scope if not holding it perfectly straight was very real and immersive.
Agree that if your going to add they went too far with it.
@@rich1958 You know, Ive had a chance to play the update now and I think its fine. I thought they were going to get rid of the scope sides altogether. It feels like they just reduced the sway and it feels a bit more fluid now. I like it.
Good overview! Thanks. 😊
great vids man. you got me into playing this game! i love it
Over 1100 hours and TIL that you could adjust ranging on the Leopard sight.... I always hated using that tank for having to guess range!
The sub-factions look awesome! Looks like it’ll create a lot more interesting matches!
Oooo man, im soo exicited, there''s no time to test everything now ;) good vid moi
This is a massive improvement
So excited to play vanilla again. Was stuck on mods due to a host of reasons and now I have a reason to go back 🤟
LOVE ALL OF THIS!
nooooo they ruined the historical sights for the leo😭
Less bragging rights too my brethren.
I played squad yesterday and i hadent played in about 2 weeks and i did not notice the update while playing until the match ended and i got to experience the map voting. And i have to say it just blew me away and i love it. all in all great update.😀
The only bug left in the game now is the "Current role unavailable". So many times I'll be playing as HAT and when I respawn, the game forces me to give up my kit. And no it's not from squadmates leaving the squad, because after I give it up one of my squadmates will pick it up right after me.
TY for Full Faction Unit Spreadsheet, really appreciate it!
Can’t wait to see how this affects eye in the sky!
Wow! Im happy to see Squad get the shot in the arm it needs!
Looks great!
As a SKS+PU1 enjoyer, this is massive. thanks moi for the great content, keep it up!
Follow up shots for rifles still feel really sluggish with the drastic recoil for a tinny little 5.56. Added with the weird dead zone in the middle of your screen makes it feel weird still trying to point fire is like looking at a fish flail out of water.
Haven't played Squad a while since my computer is 5 years old lol. I gotta get a new pc soon and get to get my hands on this new update, I do really like the faction voting system, and the map too, since it can make the game new and refreshing, since we now have the opportunity to choose which specialized combat unit we want to play as. I assure you it already has brought uniqueness to the game and maps since now everything has to be played differently, more strategically and more team based to win a match with the weapons, armor and perks of that specialized unit you decided to play as. Good Update! I need a pc asap, I'm poor haha.
For the voting I just hope recently used factions are blocked for at least the next round so you don't play the same units over and over. Also @MoiDawg does the last winner or loser pick first?
MANUAL BOLTING IS HUGE! I remember complaining about two things with ICO, ADS being unusable after ICO Play test 2 and snipers needing manual bolting to be effective. OWI, despite their lows with Epic Games Services, have come back in a huge way!
Maybe scopes should be affected by FOV changes should be implemented as well as more tweaks to the ICO would be great, maybe take a look at Project reality and how it works, it's mechanics are awesome
I'm more interested in knowing if squad leads will be able to go through an entire round without disconnecting or maybe that is just a potato field issue
What do you expect when rounds can be 2 hours long? Lol
@@caustic_crow4332people to not create squads then.
If you open a squad you commit to (potentially) 2 hours of leading 8 other players. Anyone who cant or wont do that shouldn't create a squad.
Same, but on top I wish they would actually lead their squad and kick uncooperative players. When you are sl, you are in charge. Too many times we agree to a plan on command chat, only for SLs not having their squad listen to them and running around like headless chickens, completely ruining games. Then it is about who can place more FOBs on map, devolving in nothing else than a game of tower defense/zerg rush. If you want to win, you need to assume that blueberries will go in straight line to the objective, so you need to put it in place that has cover on direct line to the objective. Also, you need to dig down the FOBs that are away from objectives, because blueberries don't have enough inteligence to only click spawn, not figure out where to spawn. So they often spawn on the wrong side of map, on a fob, that's on a locked flag, or on no flag at all.
And only SLs with authority can change that.
@@tj4y48no one is gonna create squads then, and people like you will cry about it.
You were in that game too???
Dude wtf is up with that. Just randomly outta nowhere they just disconnect
I really wish that OWI will update some of the old factions
Yeah uk sucks
@@gurra5666 they should get a Mastiff and cage armor for there vehicles. Also some more stabilized weapons
All of those are good fixes and adds. One thing I have noticed that in Sanxian islands invasion layer the invaders start with 800 tickets while the defending team only has 200. That is a bit bugged
The RPG reload bug has gotten me killed so many times and more times over, made me miss big opportunities. Thank. God.
Map voting is just amazing
Might finally be able to see a BAF Tank Brigade fighting the VDV on Harju RAAS (East) 👌
Back in my day, a good leopard gunner was worth his weight in gold.
I'm gna miss the old leopard sight, it added extra bragging rights to the war stories.
Наконец-то они начали вносить реально достойные изменения, спасибо за видео ❤
Not being able to hear other people pres the horn makes me so happy ❤
I love the map layer changes but I really want OWI to get rid of named layers as a whole. Especially if you are playing RAAS, you shouldn't know where the next objective is and shouldn't be able to just Google it. I've seen so many lobbies die because a team full of experienced players have memorized layers and set up at the first few objectives of the enemy team and completely kill the slow early game. It's not really rewarding to do it and it's super punishing to new players who are confused why they can't capture the only point they can spawn on. TLDR: Objectives should be random or unknown unless you are playing AAS.
It really doesnt take that much thinking to see why this isnt possible. A map only has so many points of interest that make for good objectives, and they have to follow a semi predictable chain or they will be a horrible zigzag (which still happens rarely and is annoying) the best thing moving forwards is to atleast give equal information and show squadlanes ingame for those who still haven't memorized every map and choose to not use the app.
Whats about the weather and daytime setting for maps? It was locked to layers before. Or is every map now sunny midday? I would love a random weather/time setting.
Playing Squad since almost its creation I would love to see a video or some kind of summary that shows how the game evolved.
Over all great update. Can't wait to jump back in, been helldiving for weeks now.
I dont know why, but this game is littreally going through a renaissance now lmfao.
I just joined right after the ICO dropped. Dude its so wild how GOOD the game is.
Every once awhile there's a new update that completely changes things up and adds cool stuff.
Dude they have to port this game to console. It would be amazing
So many commen sense changes in this update. I might actually buy a skin to thank them.
With the Specialized Combat Units, Squad's probably going to be rolling out some balance passes every once in a while, to adjust for strength like a lot of online pvp games. Imagine if they internally were tracking statistics to find out what needs buffed and nerfed.
All updates are game-changing
They should add the rifles regiment for BAF Light infantry
oh my goooood the honk is the BEST thing in this update!!!!
Loving the changes ...keep moving forward OWI....now about those grappling hooks for the engineer.....
it would be neat if they add the older AUG as a thing to some of the sub unit types (non front line non infentry etc.), if they are takeing out most layers and only adding special layers later I worry the AUG will be out of use until this is added
Nice
I hope that the map and unit voting can be made somewhat partial. Something like every other round and random picks in between. Otherwise its going to get real old fast.
I have almost 2000 hours but haven’t played much after the ICO update but this makes me want to come play.
Lemme know when they properly implement track IR and hotas support for helicopters.
any optimization change??
I love the specialized brigades, adds more variety to the game while still being realistic. Awesome!
man the urge to play squad has never been bigger and ofc my pc breaks during it, oh well just another excuse for another build. Cant wait to see what squad has in the works next
Gotta be honest. While all those changes are really neat(really look forward to more BLUFOR v BLUFOR layouts that look like wargames), I am not really fond of the changes made on the Leopard 2's gunner sight.
Personal opinion, but a good fix could have been an automatic rangefinder on the commander seat and it's synchronised with the gunner sight. However, it should be a one-way(commander-to-gunner and not viceversa). This could have convinced people to work with a 3-crewmen setup for tanks more and would have improved the role of the commander seat on the Leo which lacks of a RWS system. The Challenger makes it up by having a fourth seat for the RWS.
Some great changes but I'm worried about about certain factions getting sidelined, a lot of people out there don't care for MEA PLA UK and even insurgents and I hope we dont get just US RUS games and a meta forms.
I was loyal player from early Beta, played almost every day. Then ICO hit and I like many others thought it was quite awful. Haven't played a full 5 matches since ICO dropped, as I couldn't get it to grow on me.
These updates may actually be what I needed though
Vehicle combat overhaul needs to come soon to help with the natural balance!
I have a feeling we will never see MEA, or insurgents again thanks to the voting
my first thought with all of this excellend faction diversity is that a neckbeard admin would lock both teams to one they think is the best for one metric and id never play half of these
ehhh, mea maybe but I just played a round of insurgents, i do think for invasion the factions need to be limited. TBH, i enjoy playing MEA, I like the G3
Where did the infantry machine gun suppression go? Doesn’t do jack anymore
I'm noticing that too
Probably enough ppl complained
@@_Tristen_ shitposting was never ever been that effective. 😂
@@_Tristen_ Thats so bullshit.
The suppresion was the best part of the game past the ICO. It made you acc play it normally. It was so much fun.
Now you have blueberries just lasering people down while literal bullets wizz past them without giving af.
Its so goofy
@@honkhonk8009yeah it's fucking annoying. They need stop giving in to the COD lovers and listen to the marines and vets and bring back the realism they need bring back ico test version the very first one or second was one best. They just kept going n going n tweaking it to much. Head to forums and have your say about suppression please.
I had a lot of fun playing Squad last night, with the exception of the map and faction voting. Good feature, but flawed in that it takes way too long to submit. Each vote phase should be like 15 seconds max, not 1-2 minutes. Last night people kept re rolling like 2 or 3 times in a row because they didnt like the PLA. Also i'm not sure if it was the server, but the staging time took considerably longer.
so now aiming takes 1 business day instead of 2, great change !
Oh wow! I love this striker vehicle. In war thunder I use it to be a rat bastard.
MGS is cool and all but I have not seen anyone vote for the unit that has it. I've only been able to try it in the test range.
Really wonder when they will fix the comical sight pictures of many weapons. You do not glue your eye to the aperture. Other games manage, i wonder why squad cannot.
weren't the sub-factions aka battalions already in game? that's how you'd know if there were 2 or more tanks etc
The names were used but in practice they had minimal effect on the vehicle lists. Now the differences are far more drastic, have changes beyond just vehicles, with more differences suggested down the line, and of course the assymetry of it.
yeah but they didnt have specific vehicles or weapons attached to them
Yeah but they were just used as names only, they had no real effect. Helped with immersion though
Does this mean that conventional vs conventional invasion is now more competitive?
Big Ws
I don't know how I feel about the voting system yet because it takes so long espescially if both teams reroll. I think it would be better for the faction selection to be at the same time and not one after the other
The horn is nice, but having it disabled in staging and only audible team-side.
helis with a horn would be funny af
Heck yeah door gunners on helicopters being more effective. Great fix! Maybe we can shoot from Logi’s on next update. Gun trucks with a whole squad shooting back like they did in Vietnam!
Wow fantastic, still no buff to hat or a deployable atgm.
Ahhh they finally fixed the helicopter MG traversal!
Crazy it took this long.
This update is going to be awesome and i do like the idea of sub factions and such.
So won't team 2 have a leg up?? They get to see the selection from team 2 before they pick their army composition??
They need to add US army 101st Airborne. Air Assault. Would be dope if specifically Currahees. Any fellow 101st vets out there?!
I imagine it's unlikely they will be given a second air assault unit. Sorry you guys wound up losing out to the 82nd. :p
@evangelosvasiliades1204 82nd isn't even air assault. Not when I was in anyways. They are light infantry airborne. They jump out planes and we jumped out helicopters.
3:55 im curiouswho would chose a Support unit into a active battle scenario without ability to chose another unit, like why would you chose an auxilary unit for a frontline battle?😮
wake me up when they do some optimization, my rig handles multiplayer DCS on max settings and struggles with squad
I don’t get why they don’t add the laser rangefinders that move the cannon for you and stuff, would make tanking much more fast paced and hardwe
Just started playing this a week ago. 90% of my time has been In training so I don’t let my team squad and team down.
Did they ever add roping out of the helicopters?
Huge W update - hope they will add specialized weapon/loadouts to the sub-factions next.
All great but lets just hope some day they will work on stability and performance.
Now we just need colored armbands to distinguish these similar looking camos!
there looks like no difference in the stamina sway minus the first couple seconds?
I sure hope they add the PPCLI for Candian LI...
So uhm 3hy dousnt the laser range finder actually work in game ? Like yes it will tell u the range but u have to aim higher when in real life u click the button and the computer does all the work and makes it so u don't have to aim above but aim exactly where u want to aim
Wait wat? HELI RUBBER BANDING FIXED?
thank god they fixed sights
All these new stuff, necessary changes, and bug fixes, it's time to play again after so long...
