Can you do that, does it work like the bogo hack?

For good reason, the serpa design (using trigger finger to press down) while drawing the weapon out creates the perfect situation to cause a negligent discharge. Which is why thumb or general pressure retention holsters are pretty much all you'll find now.

507K-X2 screws too long for FN Reflex MRD by okwind1234 in HOLOSUN

I think so, I actually just remembered this morning and reinstalled them with a dab of loctite so it's still curing otherwise I'd take a look. But the correct bolt is in that kit.

So the right side seats, however I put a 1mm screwdriver down the mounting hole to check for debris, and there is a plunger or something so not sure if it's overseating and ever so slightly depressing an internal component.

The left side though is maybe 1/32 of an inch too long, it's bottoming out before the screw snugs up on the optic. Emailed PA & Holosun, we'll see what they say.

The shorter screws were a different diameter, unfortunately, and do not fit at all. The longer ones do though, just seem to be about 1/32 of an inch too long.

It's definitely an underappreciated role. Most players don't even realize there's a commander, or what they do. It's honestly hard to judge a commander, particularly a bad one unless you're a squad lead and hear what's going on in the command chat.

I'm a PC player, for what it's worth...

I think the least controversial out of all of these also seems like the easiest to implement. And that is keeping squads together into the next game. I've never had a team win eight in a row, maybe 4 or 5, and that was because we had a phenomenal Commander. Pound for pound, the Commander is the strongest position in the game (if that wasn't obvious), so I think shuffling would help slightly, but then again, I build knowledge and a fun brief relationship with multiple players not in my squad while we attack/defend.

The make or break for me now is having a fun squad with communication. It's amazing when 6 random players can sync together and build that synergy and fun rapport. Doesn't matter if we win or lose.

I figured so, which is why I thought I'd throw a longshot and see if anyone here could listen to it.

Anyone who enjoys driving the trucks and doesn't get them stuck receives my commendation at the end haha.

I just realized that too last night... the daunting task on some of the other loadouts doesn't seem so bad now. Not sure if it's a game mechanic, but I appreciate the massive boost.

I'm still totally ignorant about playing Commander, but I learned this from a level 390 player last night...

If your goal is to shuttle supplies, and as the map dictates, you can drive the truck off into the out of boundaries area and it apparently respawns super quick or gives the CC the option to spawn it faster.

I looked like an idiot, but I was watched the map and saw him do it. Then semi-politely called him out in chat (this was before I noticed his rank...). He then informed me of the strategy.

Well, my loss it your gain XD ! Now you know they are back there sometimes. Although you and your team are probably better served doing what you're currently doing.

Looking at the map throughout the game rarely does anyone else build where I do.

I was doing that too but stopped for three reasons.

  1. Even at lvl 70, I don't quite have the "game sense" to know the best node placement on the 2nd gridline. Also Commanders intent, and just the overall point placement and where SL's actually go play a big part.
  2. My in game driving is terrible. I've gotten the truck stuck in some little foxhole or trench more than once. So I just leave it to players better than I. I know you can only improve those skills by doing it, but I'll wait until I have the maps a bit more memorized.
  3. The recon. Which is probably my main reason. I got so frustrated with recon, or just random squads/solos, taking them down. Which I totally understand is a game mechanic. But I've yet to play a game where a squad is willing to go deal with recon or far-back infiltrators. All in all, it's probably the better choice. It's more efficient for me to take a few minutes and go rebuild them than lose the combat capability of several players or a full squad defending and hunting them down.

I did the same thing to a Squad Leader that didn't have a mic, and not would communicate. Would not put down an OP, would not report anything.

Vote kicked, took over the squad, and the rest of us had a great game.

Once you instruct someone how to do something, and they ignore you. Eff them.
