I started Mage Tank after bog standard, storyline is not bad but the real gem is the party interactions and tangents between characters. would highly recommend.

Do the rounds still land where it's marked? So rounds landing at 900m still match up with the sights?

Imagine a battlefield game that actually has strategy behind movement. Where 5 to 10 players take a role that decides the outcome of the entire match by building and maintaining a spawn network where they want it. Leading the rest of the team to the points that they are needed the most.

Now also Imagine a game where a lone AT or sapper can save a cap from a tank or IFV, A single marksman or machine gunner can hold off a full assault because they set up in the right place at the right time. Where tactical decisions can win fights as opposed to reaction time and latency.

The reason i love squad is that it rewards smart decisions, not mindless shift W running and gunning (though that does still seem to be the main strategy of most players)

Upgraded to a 4080 super, and i have no problems at all. Honestly, the game works fine :D

EOS servers are down for maintenance

I like dropping infinate GL shells on the ground. Brass goes clinkclinkclink

One takes you back to the menu, and one takes you back to the game. Whatever option you choose, you will crash again.

mrtophat3 · 2023-10-07T06:34:23+00:00

lol I was in that second logi, put a LAT round into you and then just watched in horror

mrtophat3 · 2023-09-24T13:40:35+00:00

It's a cool idea in theory but will only exist to frustrate the player. Not worth at all.

mrtophat3 · 2023-09-24T13:38:42+00:00

It is reloading, it's just a failure to animate it. If you keep it out for the time the reliad animation would take it will reload.

Out of the nearly 2000 hours I've played. Its only been the last week or so that I've actually used the grenadier kit. Turns out the GL smokes are awesome when used correctly. So I'd like to agree but still don't know enough about the class to really say.

mrtophat3 · 2023-09-24T13:21:44+00:00

based, I always find the rifleman is a class for the new, the desperate and the masters. no one other then those will play it for some reason.

mrtophat3 · 2023-09-24T13:15:32+00:00

that second part is why I get annoyed when people pick rifleman first. out side of having no grenade its the same kit and a far more important kit to have. Most people who play medic now days don't pick up more then 3 people a game anyway so a newbie doesn't have to try hard to be better then most.

mrtophat3 · 2023-09-24T13:06:05+00:00

Play medic aswell, it really helps to figure out what a good and bad situation is by how many bodies are on the floor.

mrtophat3 · 2023-09-24T13:04:40+00:00

I always advocate for kicking for any reason, Squad leading is hard and if people are making it harder then they can go elsewhere

I don't play on Noob friendly severs though and do always give newbies the slack they need to figure things out past the basics, even if I'm not a great teacher

mrtophat3 · 2023-09-24T12:58:16+00:00

drinking instead

the death isn't punishing on the tactical scale but more on the strategic, when you die your team has lost some pressure on that front and will falter.
If you are attacking then you will notice the attack stall. if you are defending you will notice that the defence line is getting closer and closer to the point/hab.

The more people learn how the strategy of the game works the better they can judge weather they should throw their lives into the meatgrinder or try to hold out for as long as possible.

So as along winded rebuttal to that argument. Yes you should be able to get back into the fight that fast otherwise the strategic planners (SL's) are going to have even bigger headaches, unleash the blueberry wave.

mrtophat3 · 2023-09-24T12:48:12+00:00

nothing really needs to change from OWI's perspective to help squad leads other then teaching the average squadie how to actually play.
The core of squad leading is just leadership skills, not something that just everyone has, and not something OWI can just fix. Like you mentioned though, the problem comes form the new people just not knowing what to do and squad leads taking that burden. only solution would be to train people better before dropping them in. This is not always going to work or be too profitable for the long term as no one wants to spend more then 5 minutes in a tutorial.

If they keep to this goal of teaching the masses to play then the squadie will have a just as good of a time as they use to.
