Why don't we have squadrons like in WT?

I see some older discussions of people saying it’s because stacking is a problem, and creates one sided games. But if thats the case why isn’t solo que enforced? People do have friends, and its not the old teamspeak/vent days were its somewhat difficult to organize and find people, discord has existed for a very long time, and now with steam you will be able to see when all your friends are in game in that avenue.

If its just a case of trying to hide the fact you just got shitstomped by a stack because they don’t have tags it doesn’t really work that well, and again its a bit scummy to just hide that under the rug instead of enforcing it via solo que. Of course theres also the option of having a MM that tries to pit stacks and randoms in a somewhat even manner, but again these devs are anemic to anything that would possibly add any kind of increase to que times.

Having squadrons in game and squadron research like WT might actually encourage people to group up, play together, maybe even communicate who knows?

Maybe “Platoons” or “Squads” would be better terms for a ground based game :slight_smile:

Ya you are right, im not sure what the correct term would be. A full game is like what 50-100 entities. What would that be? A company? Or like you said platoon.

I ask sort of asked same question, not long ago, except i said clans etc
valid point, platoons/squads

But i think you find in this game, it will be a population thing, and a lot wont play against other real people, they say, it be to sweaty, and just a spam fest, any excuses not to face other real people

Back in the Days, playing on Telstra/Bigpond Game Arena servers for BF 1942/BF 2, clan wars were on all the time, you had strats, practice server, that you could admin, and FF was the mode, none of this NO FF rubbish.

seriously doubt gaijin, would help in any way either, even if we paid $$ for the use of a server.

ok my bad, totally forgot the server etc that hosted game were not EA, but the telco/isp provider.

so i would assume this could be a issue in having server and clan wars

Stacks that are more than 2 players big should get queued against other stacks. I hate it when the enemy team has 3-4 well cordinated players while your own team struggles to build one rally point. You will basically automatically win with an stack

Asking gaijin to do anything that would even potentially add a millisecond to que times is like getting water from a stone.

We might even get some squad battles, which would be cool for those that have done the grind …
