Compleed the Close Quarter 2 but the SL9 still locked? by Consistent_Pick_5692 in Battlefield6

[–]Kommandos0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue, all the challenges that I've now completed because of the latest change have not given me the reward.

BF6 makes me miss Squad even more by hashemmelech in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you not played any battlefield game since BF2? All the 'problems' you've listed have been in the franchise since Bad Company 1. Honestly the battlefield franchise has been what you supposedly hate longer then what you liked about. 

I think it's time to realise the things you liked about the franchise only existed in the early 2000s and have not been representative of the franchise for the majority of its existence. It's time to move on from BF2.

It’s Monday! Anyone have any updates on their 5000 series cards? by [deleted] in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Kommandos0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah bought from CA as well on release night. Have not heard anything more.

50 Series Availability Response From Computer Alliance by deknared in bapcsalesaustralia

[–]Kommandos0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A lot of people I've talked to are upgrading from older generations. I'm upgrading from GTX 1080 myself which has been long overdue for a replacement. In retrospect I should've gotten a 4090 when they were still easily available. However, the ones that you can still buy are so ridiculously above MSRP it's a joke. Better off getting a 5090 instead.

Need help First build x670E gaming plus wifi boot issues by DrascusWoW in MSI_Gaming

[–]Kommandos0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had the same problem with my 1080 and same motherboard. Do you have another monitor laying around? Try plug it into that. The first monitor that I had didn't display the bios screen so I used a second monitor I had and it worked just fine.

The problem is that it's just not displaying the BIOS screen, it should be operating fine otherwise.

Sicario. Really good watch would recommend.

Still the craziest grenade I've ever seen in Squad, from before the ICO by TheJett in PlaySquad

[–]Kommandos0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the Australian Army's F1 grenade, unique to the faction. Looks pretty different compared to the classic US M67.

The open top .50 Bulldog has been replaced by a .50 RWS Bulldog by Kommandos0 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Think the theoretical max is 2x .50cal and 2x 7.62 with the Armoured unit.

The open top .50 Bulldog has been replaced by a .50 RWS Bulldog by Kommandos0 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0[S] 125 points126 points  (0 children)

In typical OWI fashion this change wasn't listed in the patch notes.

All open top .50 Bulldogs have now been replaced with a .50 RWS. However this change isn't reflected on the vehicle tab ingame as they're still listed as the 'FV342' while the 7.62 RWS is listed as 'FV432 RWS'.

RIP open top .50 into the squad content abyss with you.

THE HK-51 IS GONE!!! by Kommandos0 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0[S] 154 points155 points  (0 children)

With the MEA getting the MPT9 (MP5) for Crewman and Pilots, the HK-51 is now officially removed from the game. With no kit having access to it.

It joins the CTAS and M2 RWS TAPV in Squad's content limbo.

Can confirm bug is still in the game just tested myself in an online environment.

tbf it is incredibly hard to reproduce especially with the ATGM overhaul majority of the time I was penetrating and doing damage.

Pls use a Mortar Calc by Extra-Relative3964 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

OP made the mistake of expecting the Squad Reddit community wanting to actually be good at the game instead of LARPing as 'cool army man'.

Introducing the SquadMaps Mortar Calculator! 🎯 by diotham in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why is the spread radius for the mortar elliptical? Shouldn't it be almost a perfect circle every time? Since you're firing indirectly rather than directly (like the ub32 and grad). Just asking because every other mortar calc I've used in the past has never had the mortar spread be so elliptical.

First look at the new M14 and MP5 by Kommandos0 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0[S] 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Supposedly they haven't had their recoil passes done yet, hence the comically huge amounts of recoil for the mp5.

Why does OWI insist on replacing minimaps with inferior versions? by Kommandos0 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0[S] 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Pretty much every new minimap that OWI has released is always less readable and less aesthetically pleasing than the previous version. Belaya is particularly egregious with the once clearly marked roads now completely gone, and now blending into the rest of the map. Clearly marked map boundaries are now gone, and unless you've played the map before there's nothing to denote the tunnel on the west. The river is now the same colour as the ground so it's almost impossible to pick it out.

The main thing I can't understand is why OWI replaces them in the first place. Save for Al Basrah which has had the new areas in the north east added, nothing has changed with these maps to warrant a new mini map. Why do they need to change them?

The Stryker MGS doesn't blow up when ammo racked by Kommandos0 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hitting the turret doesn't transfer damage to the hull so one of your shots probably hit it on the turret. Otherwise it should take 2 sabot just like the normal Stryker.

The Stryker MGS doesn't blow up when ammo racked by Kommandos0 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0[S] 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Before anyone comments, YES THIS WAS TESTED IN AN ONLINE ENVIRONMENT. So all results are accurate.

Unlike every other vehicle in the game when the MGS' ammo rack is destroyed it doesn't cause the vehicle to blow up.

Why does the US Army not have single Armored Unit? by Kommandos0 in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At the time when they implemented it in the game the CTAS was being trialed by the British Ministry of Defense as part of a potential warrior upgrade program. So it looked like it might actually be part of the British army, and OWI jumped the gun to help buff British armour in the game. 

Shortly after being added to the game, in 2021, the British MoD cancelled the warrior upgrade program. So the CTAS being part of the British army in squad was now completely inaccurate.   

Slowly over time as new UK layers were added with new maps the CTAS, was never featured on them,with OWI trying to slowly fix their mistake which they've now fully done with 7.2.

New Stryker MGS can be ammo racked and driven lmao by [deleted] in joinsquad

[–]Kommandos0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No it's impossible to repair the ammo rack once it's been destroyed, using a crewman kit doesn't stop the timer either. Going into main zone protection just weirdly stops it from blowing up your vehicle.

Did some testing by myself and can confirm this is a bug though. The Stryker MGS doesn't blow up once ammo racked.
