You say PMCs, I hear Little Birds
The dream....
oh boy that would be it
Little birds or riot
Also, how sick would it be for a commander asset that's a little bird w/rocket pod strafing run
@@kerbalized was thinking more like player controlled ones. Likewe have normal/transport ones . But with that we should get some detterence for infantry to fight it more balanced. Stinger or any manpad of that kind would be great, imo
@@rzuffu I'm hoping for both. A transport/logi one that's an actual asset, and a gun bird for commander call in. I think a CAS little bird for commander call in fits the PMC theme while not being "yeah these PMCs have access to fighter jets"
I don’t care what haters say, it’s a new faction that doesn’t use the same exact kits as all the other factions
I admire your optimism.
Yeah... but no server is going to have it.. no one's going to vote on them except for maybe the first day when it's out.
@@zardify_this is an absolute lie.
@@zardify_ not enough information to decide something like that... For all we know they could have excellent mobility and logistics
The only way they make this faction “pickable” in the long run is if PMC guns are waaaay better and easier to use (therefore the mention of aftermarket parts) than what we have today. Otherwise it’s just gonna be very weak compared to heavily mechanized units.
MP5 has almost no recoil IRL
My guess is that the devs want to put it into a CQC category in-game, and as such, want to make is unviable at range.
But this feels quite off indeed, despite the possible design intent
They dont care about rl
@@Armin2012 Given the sights are ranged to 25m on the UI, I think you're spot on.
@@Armin2012 they could just make it do less damage down range
weapons can have no recoil, but you're drunk deranged soldier with perma hand tremor, so its all legit.
The M14 depiction is pretty accurate. the real M14 has full auto and terrible recoil, which is one of the many reasons why the military ditched it. the recoil on the M14 was god awful, especially in full auto.
Edited for clarity.
They didn't ditch it because it was full auto, they ditched it because it was an unreliable, badly manufactured piece of obsolete shit. The gun also wasn't accurate even by WW2 standards. The accuracy standard for an M14 (5.6 MOA) is worse than that of an average Mosin (3-4 MOA). Not to mention that if you ever take an M14 receiver out of its stock you can expect the accuracy to go down even further. The wooden stocks also like to swell and contract depending on humidity changing the point of impact constantly.
@@G-Mastah-FashPeople who don't know anything about the m14 love the m14 lol.
@@G-Mastah-Fash i guess i worded this weird. I meant the recoil was, again one of the MANY reasons they ditched it. But specifically the recoil in full auto was very bad. Again one of MANY reasons along with those you mentioned. The gun was just trash.
@@lmeekedl9729it’s a cool but not great gun most people just see it in games or movies like fmj
All it’s missing is that “ping” from the flash hider lol
Contractors from the 70’s. The small arms are outdated. Cartels have better firearms.
Seems more like a milita.
Cartels also go through the blackmarket, most legal pmc’s go through legal weapons trade and thusly have weapons that are legal for them to have that also won’t break the bank for them to get multiple of.
@@TommyCubed A Milita? With m14's? The Civ market has much better firearms than the Military in terms of small arms.. Why DF would anyone get a M14 when you have a better library.
I was hoping for stuff like shadow company from the global escalation mod. AR weapons with suppressors and high end attachments just no armor.
We could have had the LR-300, it fits the PMC perfectly.
9:47 MP5 in real life is one of the most controllable in full auto I’ve ever shot
Its really wierd.
If it was up to me, the PMC's would have infinitely better guns, and would have prolly even a minigun on the SUV's.
Outrageous stuff that you usually see western PMC's buying in the first place.
Fully expecting a Dillon Aero mini gun on top of that SUV 🤝
A minigun is too much of a headache and money hole for a company to fool with them, remember, they want to make money not spend it. Even blackwater aviation in the absolute glory days of contracting just slapped 2 dudes on the sides of their helos with SAWs.
Running a mini gun is insanely expensive
I remember hearing stories about contractors in Iraq keeping the budget they were given to up armor their trucks. This isn't call of duty. Contractors want to make money.
@@ThePizzaGoblin They want to make money but they need to spend money to make it. No one wants to hire a bunk ass PMC to do something for them. If you're a dictator in Africa who wants oil fields defended against local militants, you want the best gear and vehicles money can buy. Even then, the civilian market infinitely eclipses any military supplied weapons. it wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility for a squad of PMC infantry to outclass a military force. It's just that in today's day and age with international laws and what not they really can't go around looking like they're a military for hire. It gets real muddy real fast. But this is a game we're talking about here. Those laws don't exist.
Blackwater based would make a lot of sense for the faction basis.
Blackwater? B A S E D
Musicians, so-called, PMC, or state 'PMC'. Blakwater, stone, or rock, or academi is still a US faction, not going against US or its oligarchs.
@@cdgncgn What are you rambling about this is a video game.
Judging from the equipment it looks like were getting something based on Blackwater
Judging from the housing market it looks like it should have been based on BlackRock. Talk about waging warfare…
The roundabout massacre coming to squad 🔥
yeah, an MP5 literally has virtually no recoil that's one reason why its so popular with security forces! The M14 however, pretty much totally UNCONTROLLABLE on auto, and the kick is pretty substantial in semi as well so doesn't look that "off" (its an M1 Garand after all), which is why Barretta tried to improve that with the BM59. Ideally the main weapon would be M4/M16 variants, I can't imagine PMC's using M14's unless, as you mention, as a DMR but not that version of the M14
We are assuming the M14 is for the PMC faction, but they never once said that it’s for the PMC. It could very well be for an un-announced faction.
Easily could be for an insurgent style faction
@@maxttckMaybe a “Western Militia”
@@walkemdown4127 MAGA militia
@@user-mj6bq8em9nthose use AR
MP5s and M14s are both closer to being museum pieces than readily available milsurp. Seems like an odd choice
Mp5’s are still produced and used in the modern era, across the globe. it is even used in the USA still.
??? They are still using M1 carbines in Myanmar and AK47s everywhere
@@thejestor9378 You can say the same thing about M1As, and you'd be right, but that doesn't not make it a weird choice because both platforms are antiquated and have a limited aftermarket
@@Getssumfreedom But we are talking about a US based Military faction... They aren't going to use those old ass weapons when the Civ market has much better options for cheaper / normal price.
@@Nathan-Roman They literally came out with a new system variant for the mp5 in 2013, and it still sells more than any of it’s successors from the same company.
For the SMG you were forgetting, it would be the PPsH for the insurgents.
Contractor SUVs like that are generally level 5 armor rater which is pretty durable for a smaller vic and many will have a minigun on the turret ring
Level 5 isn't a thing. It goes up to Lv 4.
You watch too many movies
@@BullsMahunny thats for body armor. Armor Cars use the VPAM stander Or the B 1 - B 7 stander
@@TheTeodorsoldierabvb those turret rings were originally contracted by dillon aero. Guess what Dillon makes? None of the SUVs i ever worked in had top hatches but they were definitely out there. We mostly had level 5-7 tahoes or HMMWVs
@@eman1171 You seen one, operated by contractors? Ive scoured to find one, to separate myth from reality. Not arguing whether it was produced, but actually fielded with a minigun
Better get the modern M14 EBR for marksman. I’m just really unsure how they’re going to balance PMCs vs a full on faction. Turkey already gets ignored as is
What I envisioned a PMC would be is a faction that should have a wide array of weapons that most factions may not have to offset the limited armor, considering their infantry-focused nature. They should be able to handle most weapons systems from other factions, while being somewhat different (for example, give them something like the ZM LR300 for the AR platform and the Beryl M762 for the AK platform).
@@shadowmamba95 or Ak-101 and Fn-scar
as the newsletter said, its only pickable as light inf or airborne, so the pmc faction is only pickable on layers that ONLY do those presets, small maps like chora or teritorry control maps/modes
I feel like nearly every game has the EBR. Let’s see the m21 again
I've been waiting for French and German factions since 2017.
Don't get me wrong, this is an interesting direction, I like it. But perhaps they don't have their priorities straight.
Yeah a mixed German, French, Dutch faction would be nice. FAMAS, G36, Panzerfaust 3, MILAN ATGM, MP7, FN MAG, MG3 as weapons. GTK Boxer, Puma IVF, VAB, DINGO 2, Leclerc, MAN KAT as new vehicles.
Leclercs, VAB MEPHISTO, PUMAs, Centauros. We really need more western factions.
If you watch a video of an M14 full auto you’ll see why it’s rather stout in game. The fact that the m14 even has full auto is laughable. Also I’ve shot an MP5 full auto and that thing is ridiculously controllable, almost BORING to shoot. Soooo that needs to be fixed lol.
It really does, the UMP was it’s direct successor, but has sold less and is passed over for the Mp5 still by operators to this day cause the mp5 is just way more reliable and controllable.
In the 1980s I fired a real MP5 with a suppressor full auto and it's the most accurate and controlled submachine gun I've ever fired. Not sure what it's like in the game since I haven't got to play yet but...
The M14 on the other hand is big and heavy and does have a lot of recoil
@@virtualyme7659 In game the Mp5 is the exact opposite of what it is like in real life.
@@thejestor9378 this may be a hot take but I think they should make the SMG’s do less damage than they do now but make them really controllable. I don’t have much experience with them in game but from what I’ve seen they seem pretty unusable except for the PPSH. Pistol rounds are also really bad at killing people to begin with so it would honestly be a little more realistic anyway.
@@michaels5210 the mp5 is so controllable in real life cause of the blowback system it uses. It’s successor uses a more traditional blow back system and has way more recoil cause of it.
I remember seeing miniguns on the blackwater SUVs...
(Please OWI)
Moidawg can you make some noise for the forgotten Insurgency mode?
Perfect mode for this faction to fight Insurgents
COIN
that mode is boring
I wish for France to come. They'd bring pretty unique stuff and are already present in the form of a well made mod
Could not be more excited for this
I am not a soldier and have never recieved formal training, HOWEVER I used to live near the Machine gun range in Windham Maine and have shot both a m1 garand rechamebered in 308 and a AR platform 9mm smg. In my (unprofessional) experience the M14 recoil seems right but the MP5 does not. Maybe give the MP5 some climb but it definetly shouldn't jump around like that.
WINDHAM MAINE? WHERE MY WW-15 WAS MADE IN ABOUT 2014? WOOOOOO YEAH WINDHAM WEAPONRY REFERENCE BUSHMASTER REFERENCE HELL YEAH BROTHER
@@superfamilyallosauridae6505 lol check it out! I think they do RnD on suppressors there so you can rent their full autos and just do mag dump after mag dump to help test it's life time or something. I went for my 21st lol.
i cant wait to play this, excited
yeah i was hoping for factions like American resistance fighters or cartels but i guess its a start, oh the other smg is the ppsh 41
american resistance fighers??/
blackwater faction just need the little birds and the war crimes
U call it war crim*s i call it freedom and democracy
The hellenic navy uses both mp5 and M14 and with the addition of greek maps to squad 44.. coincidence? maybe it's an oddball and they're adding greece :D
Well, there is turkey in the game already...
greece vs turks would be great!
PMCs can get access to pretty much anything, as long as it’s available to sell. They can buy weapons from anybody willing to sell to law enforcement or military. I don’t know why they would use M14s when they could get G3s or FALs that are much better performing rifles, but who knows? Both Taiwan and Lithuania were given M14 rifles as surplus, so they could’ve gotten the rifles from
one of those nations.
Love it
To balance things out with teams like INS, a red-dotted M14 is IRL-not-so but canonically Okay, pairing it with IMF style ARs/FALs and having MP5s+nades as a raider class, this could be fun.
maybe even with M95s or HEDP 40mm that can shoot through pseudo armors vics.
An inf-optically-OPed but vehicle-wise-UPed faction goes head to head with IMF and INS, that sound interesting on paper.
A gwot era black water or similar pmc faction would be awesome we already have mordern pmcs wagner and the ones made up in the mods
Should give them a little bird with 7.62 miniguns
How is Germany and France not in the game yet? We have bloody Canada, Australia and Turkey before Germany and France.
Absolutely, it is about time for us non anglo saxon descending europeans!
turkey has better army than germany but ok
so? those countries are good, not everything revolves around Germany or france
Fuk europe..lol
Next faction shud be india
I hope they add the MD-500/MH-6 Littlebird for this faction. Could see an AH-6 later down the line.
Air assault PMC should be awesome
Littlebirds with rocketpods/minigund would boost their firepower a lot
@@TommyCubed exactly what I was thinking, about time for those CAS helos to reappear
20mm Vulcan and some hydras
@Mazapine You can get CAS in the GE mod but its a pig to fly. Littlebirds would be way more maneuverable. Would love to see them in fallujah
Don't think the littlebirds have the 20mm on them@@Likeaworm
If you look at PMCs like Executive Outcome, Unit 666, and the likes those have access to helicopters from Hueys to Hinds. As well as IFV/APC vehicles besides armoured up SUV. Heavy weapons are also common especially when you have contact with a range of arms dealers. So TOWs, HMG, AGL and the likes.
Happy birthday to your nephew!
PMCs? Man, lets get the Bundeswehr in there already…
It would be such a perfectly fitting faction for Squad.
Anybody with me?
No, we don't need Bundeswehr 😡
Bundeswehr and the ROKA or MC
Would be cool, especially with g36 instead of HK416. Pretty sure no one wants another AR-15'ish rifle
Budeswehr is beyond shit these days, I'd rather have the French army
@@TheTeodorsoldierabvbso, Bundeswehr with french vehicles
I really hope that tag along with the french faction and germany faction to add in all the fun stuff from them. French vs Germany recreation but modern would be awesome.
Even when both factions get added that won't happen since the game doesn't let you do blue vs blue.
France and Germany are BLUFOR. Want a new REDFOR, add Belarus.
@@evangelosvasiliades1204 There was the old canadians vs americans layer. But I see what you're saying. I hope that the voting system returns nato vs nato factions. Also we sort of see this with turkish as they play both independent and blufor. We'll see.
i rather they make israel first
Here’s a good question. Will this PMC faction be a European company or US company cuz that means will be able to have more weapon systems in the game
FINALLY SOME CONTENT.
Hope we see M113 APCs or a M60 MBT, or other ex cold war equipment
Said it before in a live stream Moidawg. We need the American Hillbillies, Boogaloos, Yallqueda, Tacticool. Monster truck logies, Crew Cab Techies, Fishing boats, Tanerite bombs, News helicopters, DJI drones, Mossy Oak Cammo and Hawaiian Shirts. Tricked out ARs, 50 cal BMGs, Desert Eagle sidearms, old machine guns. The possibilites here are endless.
I think M14 is not a PMC weapon it maybe a Pacific irregular faction
My prediction for the next faction after this is either the indian army(to rival the PLA where the maps will take place in the Himalayas) or an alliance of american countries similar to the MEA. The MEA was inspired by the MEC from BF so im guessing they'll do something similar with the Federation of the Americas from ghost (to rival the us army and it would be really fun for the battles to take place in a tropical forest)
or maybe israel would be great. Tbh i want squad to have a lot of factions, include Iran and other middle east as well, then japan and south Korea. maybe a coalition for southeast Asia as well.
they did mp5 dirty, it should be really good on recoil with its roller delayed system
I would have preferred like most people to simply get the likes of France or Japan instead. But gameplay wise it seems like they intend for something really special with these guys, and that certainly has my attention.
Indeed they mentioned last update about looking into new commander assets for specific units and now we are going to get a faction that wont have artillery or airstrikes, so im incredibly curious what they have in mind instead.
or maybe israel would be great. Tbh i want squad to have a lot of factions, include Iran and other middle east as well, then japan and south Korea. maybe a coalition for southeast Asia as well.
So, where is the G36C?
gives us the little birds with miniguns and rocket pods plss this would give the faction a huge boost in firepower since they dont have any tanks IFV etc.
The recoil looks insane on the MP5, no way that's final.
What a freaking realistic recoil, as if they never fired a gun before.
@MoiDawg, I believe the M14 has a really high recoil. since it's a cold war weapon, and high caliber. so the recoil in game. is not bad. ( like come on, what about the Turkish faction?)
the M14 is almost half the mass of the BAR means the felt recoil is substantially higher.
what about the turkish faction
Mini gun locked to 1 per team would be a fun addition to the game.
I realize it's for gameplay, but the rear sights on both of those are wrong. 🙃
w00t! finally an MP5. can't wait to attach a suppressor to it :)
With them being at a disadvantage for a lot of things on the heavier side I would like to see suppressors on kits for them.
most times the SUV on the top gunners hatch carries a M134 mini gun that is stowed inside until it needs to be deployed
It would be so cool if this update included a sort of VIP protection mode
I wonder if the OPFOR version of PMC is going to be Mercenaries like Wagner.
Little bird with gunpod or rocket would make up for the fire power although in Squad we can expect 10-15 minutes respawn time
We need Wagner PMC too, with MBTs and IFVs , hi lo mix of infantry with hi speed gear for its SF and iron sight stuff for the penal squads
It would literally just be Russia except they have suppressors and they have a mod
Little birds with guns for the love of God
pleasse hope we get some cool scopes and attachments since pmc's would have freedom on how they set their gun up an
Western PMCs, who's familiar with AR-type weapons, operating in the Middle East, where the most commonly found weapons are AKs of some sort, most likely chambered in 7.62x39
for me, it'd make more sense for this faction to have an AR-15 chambered in 7.62x39, or even one that takes AK mags
They use AKs as well, in tandem with their ARs.
I wouldn't be surprised if they add a Cartel as a faction
There wouldn’t be much difference between them and the insurgents though
Cartels would be way more armed tbh@@Destroy3612
50 cal Barrets, FN 5.7, 38 Super, AK’s, Scar for SL’s, M240’s, Monstro Tanks from F350 frames, American Military RPG’s, Glocks….you name it.
I was thinking the same exact thing cartel definitely would make sense. Armored trucks and cars. That could then lead into Mexican marines or Columbian army
cartels would be better equipped than the pmcs
Always happy for some HKslap
I feel like squads in a weird spot where people are craving more customizability in load outs / faction load outs but at the same time of owi allowed this, including infantry kit customizing. Balance goes straight out the window, and with a game like squads balance is important. Summed up a bit of your running a red dot infantry I don't see a problem with having multiple red dots available to choose with slightly different pros and cons to being adversity, however a red dot infantry should never be able to switch to acog without becoming a dedicated acog infantry. Vehicles I'm not sure can be applied yet though, customizable armor would be awesome though. Regardless excited for what's to come
That M14 sound is tasty!
We need more air vehicles like a viper or little bird...
I'd like something like PMC vs MEA or China.
Neither faction is limited to generic AK's and M4's, and it would be a nice twist where the Western faction is the irregular/"guerrilla" style one.
Another twist is PMC would be the underdog/irregular force, but also have fancier guns then the standard army, just less heavy weapons. Give them very good cutting edge pistols, smg's, pdw's, ar's, and dmr's. Idk how about a Sig MCX, HK417, MP5/MP7, FNX45 pistols with kickass optics etc.. but limited or no MG's, and maybe limit them to just LAT's, no HATS, APC's but no full on tanks, and little bird transport aircraft only.
Just a cool possibility of a "high tech insurgent" style hybrid faction that the PMC could bring.
Maybe lets put in india as a counter vs China. And Israel vs MEA
Recoil on a full auto m14 is brutal irl
Also just now realizing we don't have a 240bravo in the game, not sure how much it fits the pmc setting but it doesn't seem too far out to me
There’s a 240 for the MMG kit for the US factions
I think it would be cool if the M14 was the aftermarket "K" variant that was used by anti-narcos in Colombia.
I'd really like them to finally give us the insurgency game mode overhaul they promised us years ago...
Give me PMC theater based off Congo war. Also, it be cool if you can create your own PMC clan or group to be hired and take contracts.
They keep saying the faction won't have access to conventional heavy weapons but will be able to stand against any existing faction, it's going to be interesting to see how they offset ZDZ's and T-72's, especially when the only weapons they're showcasing appear pretty outdated
Jesus that SMG recoil is bonkers
AC-130 Gunship Strafe, Little birds X 3 single file strafe, SUV's and black hawks get the first vanilla GAU-19' miniguns. Black Humvees / CROWS || , M4's HK17 Sniper, HKG36 M420b MACHINE, MK 19 Grenade launcher,
Were getting to tarkov with this ome
I really want an SA58 or a MCX Spear for this faction.
Mp5s dont make any sense, but it would be cool to see little birds and hopefully fast ropes for the love of god?
Mp5’s make alot of sense.. I don’t know where so many of you get the idea it doesn’t.
@@thejestor9378 how does it make sense? now it would make sense if the PMC's got various AK's and the BW-15 like blackwater did during iraq. They might've been seen with MP5s every now and then but using it for regular combat makes no sense. now if the MP5 is a certain option class sure, but a main gun ah hell nah.
@@vac1376The MP5 is most likely gonna show up in variations, as there are multiple variations of the mp5 that exist, the regular one isn’t even considered a CQB weapon in real life, that’s the role of the MP5K and it’s sub-variants. The Mp5 is also a well tested and proven platform that is still produced and used the world over. I don’t expect it to be the main go to weapon of all the roles, but I suspect we will find a variant of it in each role as part of a loadout, including the vehicle/aircraft crew variant of the Mp5K. I suspect we will get more cold war era weapons for them as well as most of those would be available to them on the open market as opposed to more modern weapons that are still sold primarily on the weapons market to countries rather than private companies. I would be expect some AR variant in addition to m14 variants. As this seems to be mostly western based pmc, I am doubtful about ak’s or other eastern block weapons showing up.
No fucking way you said that the regular mp5 is not cqb, and yes the weapons don't make sence, they are completly outdated in modern combat, including the mp5
@@pipebomblover The Mp5k is the literal designated CQB variant of the Mp5, the Mp5 is actually marketed for short range engagements where as the mp5k is marketed for engagements in enclosed environments, with the mp5k-pdw variant being designed for usage by aircraft and vehicle crews to defend against hijackers. Also most guns that would be better than it aren’t gonna be available to PMC’s. If you bring up SBR’d guns, know that those are not infact better, as most of those will be modded civilian market guns which will have semi-auto fire only, and while yes using a larger caliber, would also have more recoil, require registration if you ever plan to be in the USA, and is again, civilian variant and thusly not actually designed for a combat environment.
could this mean we could possibly see some pirate action? east african coastline map perhaps?
I really like those M14 and MP5A2. But it should be better if they add some customised M4A1/HKs/AKs Assault Rifles in PMC factions.
M-14 is notoriously heavy on recoil, especially full auto.
They shoukd merge it with regular factions on specific scenarios.
Interesting that the MP5 loadout also gets an M4
I dont care what we get, as long as we get (1 - An MD-500 or MH-6 Little Bird) and (2 - an M4A1 with a A.R.M.S SIR Handguard)
They included the HK slap.
God bless the dev team
I'm going to lean heavily on H&K here. But with the first guns shown I'm thinking Western or South African/ Rhodesian (think Danny Archer in Blood Diamond) PMCs.
All the SMGs in game have too much recoil. Especially that MP5. The MP5 also is fine with the PMC faction, common with PSD's. Even today.
The M14 would make more sense as a cut down 16 or 18 M1A semi only with a scout mounted 1x red dot or holographic. These found there way into the early GWOT. Or as a M-14 with an ACOG and fat cheek riser. Or as a DMR, either M21 or M25 with a leupold fixed 10x. Another common early GWOT rifle.
If they want a real sniper PSG1 or Accuracy International bolt gun.
For 5.56 rifles. VEKTOR R4 (South African Galil), AR-15 (semi-only) with the old school arms SIR rail and red dot (Blackwater rifle) and a fixed stock AR-15 18-20" barrel with a scope as another DMR (travis haley's blackwater rifle.) G36C or K always fit the PMC look.
HK69 would be a cooler and more unique choice for a grenade launcher.
LMG: MG4 would be sweet, if they're being boring or unimaginative a M249 fixed stock or Mimini would be ok.
GPMG: HK21 would be a sweet pick here. If not you can go any other way with a machine for PMCs. RPD/PKP (battlefield pickup, African mercs, ex com-bloc arms deal) or M240/FN Mag (more NATO aligned)
Pistols have to much sway in the sights, it takes two business days to line up the irons. But Glocks or preferably H&K USPs
For HAT/LAT, everyone can get their hands on RPGs
Engineer kit: C4 and claymore.
For vehicles, regular Toyota Land Cruiser, and pick a 4 wheeled armored vehicle like the VAB or M1117. Armed with 20mm or 50 cal and 40mm GMG.
Helo has to be the MD-500 and Hip.
There isn't much that'll take me out of the iron grip that Global Escalation has on me but, this might be it.
tbh squad would really dominate the Milsim market if they not only include a lot of countries like china, Middleast, Europe and other asia and north America. if they also include other eras like ww1, ww2 and vietnam there would just be no more competition. Would love to see Israel as well
we also need a smaller type of game modes and maps so that it can accommodate to players who don't have that much time in their hands.
the m14 is likely the meme option, like mosin is for the insurgents.
Could this be a hint that Vietnam-era factions and battlefields will be added in the future?
hmm, tbh squad would really dominate the Milsim market if they not only include a lot of countries like china, Middleast, Europe and other asia and north America. if they also include other eras like ww1, ww2 and vietnam there would just be no more competition.
Yiu can shoot an mp5 one handed and no stock with half that recoil IRL. Still a cool looking faction, though.
2:40 Noooooooo Carl
People ask for optimisation and a smoother experience, we get PMC’s lol. It’s ok I guess. Let’s just hope they listen down the line.
The M14 was 30-06 iirc and was select fire semi/full auto. The recoil was ridiculously uncontrollable from what I heard and made it pretty much useless (which is why most depictions are semi auto I think)
nice
i’m 17 and can control recoil on a full auto mp5 better than a trained merc? nah bro fix that
Anyone else want the GAU-17A in game for Helis and Armoured Vic’s?
these weapons don't make much sense for a "tacticool" faction. even the MP5 is an old model
The mp5 is still produced and used to this day by countries the world over including the USA
@@thejestor9378 yes. "old model" it's an MP5A2. I love an MP5 regardless but it's not exactly top-of-the-line. SBRs have replaced them in general. again, just not very "PMC" imo
@@Comradegundyr It actually really is. A reliable and tested weapons platform that has a relatively low cost which is available for purchase to pmc’s as it is not a main modern military weapon.
@@thejestor9378 In a big setting like this? You have much greater options and you can SBR weapons for much cheaper than a full auto MP5. You can easily of had a 300 black out build.
@@bokc_nonpopularsalt1011 There are better options, for militaries. Civilian SBR’s are gonna be worse and less reliable, you will also not have full auto, ever by legal means. A PMC can go directly to manufacturers for full auto’s that are legal with licensing to purchase, licensing they would ensure to get. Ya’ll come at this way to heavily with either civilian mindset of gun markets, or with idea that pmc’s are tacticool only.
Aah yes... The .30-06 MP5...
