The Perfect Squad...

Archytas

Was just thinkin last nite... while getting spawn killed by arti... Whats the perfect squad for certain maps?

Was thinkin bout strike at karkland...

2 assault - all round firepower
1 medic - obvious...
2 AT - two shots usually looks after a tank...
1 support - for support....

But maybe thats a load of rubbish... What do other people think?

I'd say that 2 AT guys is over kill on Karkland though it also depends on what the role of the squad is during the game. Sometimes it's useful to defend the rightbank by having a spec-ops to take the bridge down for example.

2 spec ops
1 medic
1 engineer
1 sniper
1 AT

but even if you get the "ultimate mix" with good players... people always get seperated (especially when squad leader dies) and go off with whatever group they find

4 Medics
2 AT

I've found with a bunch of medics you literally become an unstoppable army of the dead.

plenderj

2 Assault (non-upgraded primary weapon)
1 Support (upgraded primary weapon)
1 Engineer (US or China)
1 AT (bleh whatever)
2 Medics (again, bleh)

2 Assault for the firepower, and grenades to take out vehicles (armour exluded)
1 Support to re-arm everyone
1 Engineer to fix whatever vehicle we're in, or to lay AT mines
1 AT to blow up vehicles
2 Medics to bring everyone back to life

R0ot

1 Assault standard weapon
2 Spec Ops standard weapons (cause c4 is your friend)
1 medic standard weapon
1 support standard weapon (The amount of time i find myslef in a squad and a few of us run out of ammo, c4 and the likes.
1 AT

Interesting how we're all ignoring snipers lol

Archytas

Can snipers really be squad based tho? A squad of snipers runnin around coordinated would be pretty deadly I'd think...

plenderj

Give them a medic and a support guy and that'd be pretty cool...

... until of course a tank comes along

u can have a very effective group of snipers. me and my two bf2 friends will go sniper squad on maps like gulf and sit in dif parts of the map where we can see eachother. this means that we can cover one-another and take out any enemies. This requires a good team also so that we can get ammo etc. Also if sniper squad moves around then people dont learn ur position.

the only perfect squad is one who works together with voice coms.

composition of said squad is irrelevant.

So 6 snipers all using VoIP is always better than

2 Assault
1 Support
1 Engineer
1 AT
2 Medics


who don't ?


But basically I agree with what you're saying

Zulu

gotta agree with a load of medics.

plenderj

I love just sitting in a tank watching medics scurrying around reviving the people I just gunned down. Best way to rack up the kills... though having said that, I don't have the armoured service ribbon yet /shrug/

Do you not lose your kill if they are revived?

if your defribbed and revived ur team doesnt lose a point, thats why medics have to consider a revive. They could save a point or they could lose two if they are killed in the process.

jaggeh

a squad of 2 or 3 snipers can easily beat a squad of 6 mixed classes.

myself and a friend between us got 38 kills as snipers.... that means that squad of 6 mixed players all died 6 times. (we had in total 9 deaths between us)

so yes my squad of snipers beat your mixed squad.
