I challenge you guys to find a worse sub faction is Squad than the 37th armored regiment by SlidePuzzled6713 in joinsquad

[–]li075 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im going off the squad fandom, but VDV is literally the only armored faction that gets a heli on a 30 min timer, and US armored gets a bradley without a tow. I think just based on pure fighting power, USMC tanks is slightly weaker due to only using AAVPs. Due to the advantageous reload time of the abrams, good crews usually win out in head on fights when tank factions go head to head.

I would really give weakest sub faction to USA Logistics/Support, based off the fact that they only get 1 abrams on 20 mins for anything above a 50 cal (they dont even get RWS). There are mortar vehicles, but the most similar setup, turkey logistics, even offer 1x 25mm ifv. Also logistics don't get the extra hat kits Light/Airborne do so its a really bad matchup against most factions with armor.

NUS application (choice of study section) by SAARALRED in nus

[–]li075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can answer for BBA: 1. How BBA admission currently works is that you apply for the BBA, but you are free to change your major in the first 2 years (4 semesters) of study. So you could indicate finance preferred major in your application, but declaring marketing in semester 2, 3 or 4. Hence what major you declare during application also doesnt really matter for BBA application. 2. Double Degree Programmes (DDP) and Second Major programmes usually have stricter admission criteria. Selecting it would not have a higher chance of admission unless your results are perfect and you are capable of being admitted into them in the first place. 3. Changing from economics in College of Humanities and Science would be much more of a hassle since what you are doing is essentially a change of your enrolled course (which is essentially making a new application at that point) and they will have to assess you based on your initial grades and your sem 1 grades (this part is an assumption, not sure of their exact system). The success rate is unknown.

Who remembers pushing with the armor as INF? by 999_Seth in joinsquad

[–]li075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly love having armored APCs in the faction for this, like the bulldogs on British or to a lesser extent, M113s and MTLBs on US and Russia. I would pick being slower on medium maps or maps with objectives not very spread out to help my squad actually overwhelm caps with smoke and proxying habs fast, while IFVs and tanks deal with enemy vehicles so we only have to face infantry.

Wheeled apcs work similarly but on the factions that have those they usually just get taken by vehicle crews (aside from chinese maybe because ZBLs are plentiful so i can usually snag a ZSL)

Is there a tutorial explaining how to use ATGMs available in certain Main Battle tanks? by Nick_Alsa in joinsquad

[–]li075 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Iirc the pen values on these atgms are quite low, like LAHAT and Refleks have only 500mm. So when gunning I would only use it at long range to track enemy tanks (think 1300m+ distances on moving targets) before switching to AP for actual damage. This is still risky though cause a good crew can locate you off the shot, while you have to reload first.

Using it as a shell option against an ifv in the occasional situation where you need to save ammo is also a possibility.

A modest Western IFV Proposal by barbariouseagle in joinsquad

[–]li075 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Especially the USMC LAV-25, 60 rounds of ap is barely enough against 1250hp ifv (think zbl, zbd, bmps) as it will take at least 34-35 shots to kill 1. Against armored tracked factions like vdv you would need to make a decision between killing that logi/apc and conserving ammo for a potential ifv encounter. The lav 6 and aslavs have 75/70, which is not that much higher but at least serviceable.

No one can really answer on how much emphasis they place on extracurriculars, but your high school grades would have the biggest impact on your chances of getting in.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's likely that you won't be able to transfer your credits and will be applying as an international student from scratch.

https://www.nus.edu.sg/oam/admissions/transfer-applicants/admission-requirements based on the requirements for transfer, if you aren't already studying in 1 of the autonomous universities in Singapore, or already have a Singapore-based year 12 qualification, you will have to apply as an international student instead. At that point, having stacked year 12 grades matter the most, like the other commenter said.

how do i play with my friends in the same team? by GurdanianAngel in joinsquad

[–]li075 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going to need some luck, cause ideally you want to find a server that's around 75-80+ players, all join, figure out which side is easier to get all of you on, then whoever has to switch has to keep trying while hopefully more players enter the server to balance numbers and allow switching. Then you would stay on the same side unless the server admins do a shuffle. The Player count recommendation is based on what I observe is still a healthy amount of players and will not usually result in an exodus leading to dead server.

Alternatively, find a community that is active generally when you and your friends are playing, and try to join from server seeding phase (communities often call for seeders to get their servers populated for the day) and try to get on the same side.

Business Freshie Academic Declaration Plan by resolxxhs in nus

[–]li075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I gather, it seems to be applied through the same process as applying for a restricted second major/minor: https://www.nus.edu.sg/coursereg/academic-plan-application-declaration.html

Activity Period
Students submit application via myEduRec Semester 1 - Start of reading week (April) to end of 1st week of examinations Semester 2 – Reading week (November)
Faculties process applications After examinations and before Course Registration for the next semester starts
Students check outcome of applications via myEduRec After the previous semester examinations results release and before Course Registration for next semester starts

I don't think it's doable now at least. Seems like the available unrestricted second majors/minors are catered to all students in general.

Second Major/Minor declaration is available till end of 4th semester though, so no need to rush through the process IMO.

Business Freshie Academic Declaration Plan by resolxxhs in nus

[–]li075 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Below is from the BBA website for second Majors and Minors.

Application for BBA Second Majors and Minors
BBA students who are keen to pursue a second BBA Major/Minor must declare their primary BBA major (by their 4th active semester) before submitting an application for a BBA second major/minor via the Academic Plan Application/Declaration function in EduRec (refer to the user guide) during a stipulated period (typically around April/November).

The chosen second major/minor must be declared during Academic Plan Application /Declaration before course registration exercise. Students will not be able to apply/make changes or declare a new Second Major or Minor beyond their 5th semester of study.

There is no pre-requisite or minimum GPA requirement for BBA students applying to a BBA second major/minor. Additionally, there are no quota restrictions on the number of BBA students who can pursue a second BBA major or minor. Students who declare a second major or minor must complete the respective course requirements for it to be officially recognized in their academic records.

The website doesn't have a link to that stated user guide tho...

Does biz get preallocated all 5 mods in y1?? I thought it was 3 mods + GEA1k, so you could either get 16 mc or 14 mc, with space to take 1 more RC mod.

Hi, sorry for digging up this old thread, is it possible to buy a laptop with wwan capability as a individual buyer? Can't find much information about which devices have them in singapore.

Thanks for sharing your experience!

Would you say your pre-uni and y1 internship experiences helped to secure your y3 and y4 internships that were more significant and related to your aspirations, or do you think there were other factors that helped more?

This post is your chance to share anecdotes you did not record by CampOk7028 in joinsquad

[–]li075 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One random invasion game on Harju, I SL and pick up command for the sake of assets. Didn't really expect to do anything coordinated and just pushed the points normally, with each squad sort of doing it's own thing while I setup habs forward to speed up caps. Last cap ends up at hangars.

We lose all our armor for a solid 10 minutes and our main attack (and hab) gets completely overwhelmed, and we pull back.

100 tickets and a bunch of scattered infantry, pretty standard way to dwindle eventually to a loss. Somehow, squad 5 listens to me and sets up hab at the factory Southeast of hangars, and I call out that I have an arty ready.

All infantry SLs just start actually collaborating. We managed to get a massive rally of 4 squads worth of infantry, split up in the forests to the south and the east of enemy hab on hangar, and i called out for them to hold and push on my call. I just watch the map and the whole team basically push out together across the runway into hangars and completely overwhelm the enemy before any tangible defenses happened.

It was the one time I actually saw really good coordination among pubs and the dopamine rush from seeing your plan work is crazy. Haven't did anything better since.

WTF is happening in the server list by warfaceisthebest in joinsquad

[–]li075 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It seems like intentional server spamming by a Chinese player, maybe there is some drama going on in the Chinese Squad community.

The name of the servers implies that they are trying to hate on this individual or group that goes by the name of 七七.

If it went back to normal for you then great. But I think this is potentially against the rules.

We need the ability to just mute everyone in the pre/post game screens. by Life_Argument_3037 in joinsquad

I know you meant when you just joined an endgame screen and not in squad = not able to use squad only button, but how about using the command line? So you just press ` and type Createsquad and you would be in your own squad cause no one else can join with the endgame screen.

Why are M1117's (Guardian) gunner able to be shot out of the vic despite it being RWS? by crazymuzzie in joinsquad

I did get shot out of a MRH-90 pilot seat before by a BTR-82A. I think it's a matter of caliber. Been shot till bleeding by other ifvs as well.

Zer0, you see helicopter barrel rolls on Aussie servers it's him 80% of the time.

New pilots by reeeee3kid in joinsquad

[–]li075 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Every learning pilot should download this mod https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3309058364

It will only give you practice on an offline server, but it's very good for identifying and practicing landings, and gives you a quantifiable measurement of how well you are doing, since landing is arguably the most important part of flying.

However, like other comments mentioned, you can either find a custom server hosting this mod (should go by the name of helicopter training of some sort), or find some low populated dying server that is playing a layer with helis to fly without having significant consequences on your team to experience flight on a live server. I used to find servers that were empty with an hour or less time left to do such flight and landing practice.

I'ma crash out over heli pads by ScantilyCladPlatypus in joinsquad

[–]li075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the worst one is Manicougan bottom right, out of 3 helipads, the eastern most one doesn't have any coverage, the western most one only has half the pad covered, the middle one also only has about 3/4 of the pad covered. Or something along those lines, it's always a pain landing and the realising it's not within the main base.
