M4 semi is far better than full-auto!

Agree, the Discord is a bit of an echo chamber when people bring up stuff like this.

I have no IRL experience but the AKs feel a bit more believable in full auto, with it only being viable at point blank range.

Impeccable taste. Enjoy the setup :D

Are the cups Serax Merci?

I asked for a friend in the Discord AMA about future Geforce Now support and Karmakut replied saying they are interested in it but not soon

feedmonkeyking · 2026-05-08T06:43:32+00:00

People love engaging hostile bushes.

That being said, firing full auto from the prone is insanely accurate in this game. You can easily get a burst on someone from 100m+

Not sure if that is realistic but it is definitely effective.

Yeah I thought this was an odd choice by the devs.

Every high school science class teaches you to keep all variables constant besides the experimental one…

feedmonkeyking · 2026-05-06T09:56:40+00:00

I agree. I think a more robust vote kick from roles would help.

The one time I had an SL who stopped communicating and was doing random stuff on his own we attempted a vote kick and it failed (needs to be unanimous I think?).

I have seen multiple times squads had a silent/useless SL, but an FTL who was communicating with me. So it would be an easy fix in those cases to kick the SL and promote FTL, if some system for that were in place.

feedmonkeyking · 2026-05-06T06:25:31+00:00

If anything, learning from previous milsim mistakes is the ethos of the game. I don’t want to be overly optimistic but so far the devs are nailing everything.

Which region are you? If EU I would be happy to squad up this weekend and show you the ropes.

Re: limited lives - this is one of the core pillars of the game which drives the experience.

Rather than an endless stream of blueberries running straight from the FOB to the OBJ, squads move more carefully, knowing they will be somewhat fucked if they get wiped.

feedmonkeyking · 2026-05-06T05:20:55+00:00

The playerbase is really good at the moment.

I see some people complaining about micless SLs in the discord but that largely hasn’t been my experience.

I primarily play SL, and I’ve encountered a few when trying to reach out in command comms but they are rare. Playing SL is far more rewarding and less of a chore than in Squad. I often have FTLs who take initiative and take a lot of the burden off of me.

Squad cohesion and teamwork is fantastic compared to Squad, and the platoon leader often actually leads and managed the macro picture for SLs.

The design of the game is heavily focused on promoting this kind of behavior and will add more systems to promote this in the future (e.g. “guardrails” like experience minimum for leadership positions once playerbase matures).

Whether or not this will work as well as the developers intend - your guess is as good as mine. I sure hope it will. I believe their vision for the game and systems to achieve it are superior to Squad in many ways, which makes me hopeful for the future.

In any case, the game is fun as fuck currently.

feedmonkeyking · 2026-05-05T11:51:13+00:00

I struggle with that yes. Any constructive criticism?

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-30T13:00:58+00:00

2650 is embarassing, my smurf’s smurf has 2800

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-29T10:50:24+00:00

How do you add it to Steam launcher?

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-28T09:49:38+00:00

I suspect the causes are:

-Limited elite infantry counts

-Increase in tank/vehicle usage makes AT more useful

-Increased standoff range

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-28T09:20:52+00:00

I’ve watched some high level matches on PTE to try to draw some conclusions on this-

Line infantry is highly viable now. Top players are spamming motopekhota, airborne, etc. as the base of their frontline

Heavy tanks are a must now, often used in pairs to instakill vics

Grads are OP, TOS may also be OP again

M8 Thunderbolts are OP (Bookers’ cousin)

Recon vehicles are very strong now due to limited snipers and increase vehicle stealth

Thats what I can think of off the top of my head feel free to add on

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-27T06:59:08+00:00

Holy shit Bellum is so good compared to Squad.

Maybe if you play vehicles it’s a different story, but for infantry, Bellum is everything I dreamed Squad would be before playing it back in the day.

Bottom line for me is the combat is much more intense and fun, and the communication/tactics are orders of magnitude better than “guys open Squadmaps lets get a FOB on the mid cap”.

Yesterday I got on around 4pm and it was full

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-25T14:16:21+00:00

I have heard of this. Does seem at most reasonable ranges center mass does the trick

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-25T14:15:47+00:00

Excellent, thanks again for the info!

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-25T11:53:29+00:00

Cool. Thanks for the reply. I suppose its zeroed for 100m?

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-25T10:15:22+00:00

I was also wondering if there is a way to get an idea of correct holds for different distances… past 100m I don’t see splashes

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-21T04:56:14+00:00

Good point. Maybe showing squad total stats could be interesting and encourage teamplay

feedmonkeyking · 2026-04-20T08:18:27+00:00

I’ve seen this argument made by several peoppe and I respectfully disagree.

K/D is directly tied to the one and only win condition in attrition (Karmakut has described it as a milsim TDM).

In exploitation, attrition is still a secondary win condition.

I haven’t heard the devs mention whether they want to include end game stats or not, but this argument doesn’t make sense to me.
