[@camaron4380]

I got the Bill Burr reference at the start

[@havocmwf]

When all four helis took off one after another instead of a free for all scramble, you just knew they were going to win. Excellent Command chatter keeping everyone informed and coordinated. One of the best Squad battles I have seen in a while.

[@simonx760]

Probably better than actual vdv sadly enough 😂

[@danielschott7550]

This is one of the Best Eye in the Sky episode to date! VDV Team played incredibly well. 👏

[@levi_exiled8579]

IRL they were completely destroyed but yeah, in game they did well. lol They have Sprut like tank which I really like but IRL it's too think and way too easy to disable. Big carton box basically. BMD 4 is cool as well.

the 2S25M (sprut in game) hasnt even finished trials yet so the VDV dont have it, they use the base 2S25

[@comareborn8734]

@@levi_exiled8579 The VDV did well in Hostomel, the regular Russian forces who were supposed to reinforce them the same day messed up (got caught in a few towns and were delayed so long the VDV had to hold out for multiple days without support).

[@Rug0s]

Always love an Arty barrage on the point and waiting for it to finish then someone besides you screams "Were in business boys! Push!" and you guys see a bunch of blue berries full sprinting towards the point.

[@Pale_Nomad]

the parameters of the misson sound like a promising scenaro for pretty much all the nations. granted its perfect for the VDV (as helicopter assaults is their bread and butter combat operation) but the success of or popularity of this scenario could pave the way for US airborne or Rangers, PLAAF airborne corp (and introducing the Z-9 as a alternate Chinese Helo and another Type 07 camo pattern), Parachute regiment and other airborne units

[@joshchu]

imagine a match started only with 2 chinooks, but each one of them have 6k payloads, jumping position to positions setting multiple habs. or somewhere with waters but all planmc have are 8 zsd-armoured-logi-thingy and goes head to head with early light vehicles while doing hot insertions. XD

[@gabel2.091]

I wish the Airborne troops could deploy from airplanes with parachutes. That would give Players more new tactics to Deal with

[@albuquerquio]

But all those airborne forces are really small, VDV is an entire branch of the russian military. We need more diversity of factions and how they play, not more similar factions

[@IbnWobbler]

@@gabel2.091paratroopers usually deploy way behind frontlines or enemy lines

[@Pale_Nomad]

@@albuquerquio the PLAAF Airborne is estimated at 40K strong and is heavily influenced by the Russian VDV in its expected operational capacity. this includes the ZBD series vehicles which is the Chinese equivalent of the Russian BMD series vehicle chassis. but I have to agree the introduction of new factions would be preferable over expanding current ones

[@willgraves9310]

@@Crazy-pl1lo Yeah every game i have played on this layer has been a complete landslide victory for the defenders. AA vehicles will trash helis and light vehicles can simply sit around the few open areas where the helis can land to shoot them down if they make it past the AA vehicles. A jeep with a 50.cal can easily kill a J hooking heli as it tries to land. I do think it is an interesting layer tho. It adds some spice to the map.

Should coalition factions in squad receive close air support vehicles, like the usmc receiving the ah-1z viper, the Pla getting the z-19, the vdv receiving the mi-24 or a variant of it? It would make squad more interesting.

It’s funny that he made a video criticizing having real conflict in video games, only to later make this.

I'm not usually a fan of the Eye in the Sky vids, but I really wanted to see this layer in action and this was a good demonstration of it. I hope OWI puts in more unique layers like this - I'm especially a fan of air-centric assault maps, going back to some of my Battlefield fav's.

This goes to prove how effective using Helis at the start of the map really is! I wish squad Leads would stop insisting on using Logis instead of helos at the start and just have one guy drive the logi to the front line, once the HAB is already up and running!

I’ve played a this layer 4 times and never have the VDV captured the first point (I played as the militia), so I imagine if the milita set up good AA and work to stop any far away pushes than they can win easy.

[@mathieugirod6485]

Im genuinely surprised how close the players are able to get close to each others w/o hearing themselves or even seeing themselves first. Maybe im too used to hunt giving you everything to detect where your enemies are via sound queues but aren't you supposed to hear when someone gets close to you like at 27:31? Or even when two people are up walking close to each others ?

[@jar985]

That’s me who died. I don’t think I could hear him. When someone is crawling, they don’t make a lot of noise. Combine that with me being fixated on the tree line up ahead and all of the other noises, I didn’t notice him. With the combat overhaul, footsteps make a lot more noise. I’m not sure if crawling gets louder as well, but it might happen

[@Simspon96]

Noob question as I'm watching Squad videos to prepare for when you I get a proper gaming PC. What do you mean by layer in the context used here? Is it basically a modded server? I've watched a lot of you other eye in the skies videos recently and layer was never mentioned

[@evangelosvasiliades1204]

Im not sure if you ever figured this out on your own since, but just incase, a 'layer' in squad is a map variant, every map has multiple of them deciding what factions are fighting on it, and what vehicles they have. This is Yehorivka map, game mode Invasion, version (layer) 4.

[@Mazapine]

Yesssss was looking forward to this

[@Za_Hando]

Propaganda puffy vehicles that are too expensive. BMP-T could be fun and it isnt part of that new decade old chassis replacement program. Once they do get destroyed, I think there will be reevaluation on whether they are worth it. Apart from stornger gun, T-14 doesnt seem that spectacular to me at least. And if they wished, they could fix T-90M+ transmission.

t14 has only been tested but that again begs the question withe the 2S25M is in., it hasnt completed trials with the Russian MoD
