[@A_Beached_Whale]

It’s mainly because people don’t get timing right, sometimes you could have armor or inf in the right place but too late or too early. It’s like if armor was locking down an enemy hab but you have no friendlies around to secure it, eventually that armor is gonna get blown up unless friendly infantry can get there on time. In another scenario, if infantry get entrenched in a capture point but then enemy armor starts hitting them and they have no friendly armor to respond to it, they’re going to stay cooped up inside buildings or behind cover while enemy infantry pushes up to them and flushes them out. 99% of the time on invasion, logi’s push way ahead of armor, and 50% of the time run into some guys with an RPG, HMG, etc. and die first. If they just dismounted early and pushed on foot with armor, they all wouldn’t get eviscerated at the same time. That’s another problem with squad too. People go into places blindly thinking it’s clear when they have no intel on it. The only time this is acceptable is at the start of the round, when you know 100% there’s no enemy contact around. It’s better to take it slow rather than to risk blowing up and costing the team 14 tickets. The only thing about this is that it can be pretty boring sometimes to just wait for armor to catch up to you or get into position, but IMO the most successful way (though usually not fun) to play squad is to play very carefully and patiently based off of how your team plays instead of following a strict plan.

[@mattevans1643]

That's exactly how it works. Once you take contact, you figure it out and move on. The only part that matters is you do what you were supposed to do.

[@saloonno1232]

I was in the first US truck that blew up near Main. It was a slugfest from the get-go. Intense, frustrating at times, but gratifying, as we were able to punch through. Way to hold it together, commander! GG

[@ChaoticPasta]

Just getting your team to stop holding down W for 30 seconds until the rest of the squad arrives makes such a huge difference in the success of your push.

[@mrbentoik]

Am I the only one more impressed by his ability to still be an active soldier in battle WHILST commanding. When I take squad lead I already have trouble leading my troops and providing intel to them and the commander/other squad leads. I usually hunker down somewhere looking at my map while giving orders. He is doing all that and so much more and still shooting bad guys in their heads WOW.

[@CartoonFreaky]

Gotta give props to his squads and squad leaders as well, they were good players and didn't need to be micro managed much.

[@tylerbyrne807]

As a SL running around and gunning isn’t the best option as you need to be in the back and let the TLs and other SLs take control of their own teams and squads . Main job as a SL is to gather intel and help you’re TLs he did a great job doing both though but irl as a SL you wouldn’t wanna run around too much

Best way is find a server with bunch of regulars you always play with. Otherwise most of the servers with the very long queues, PA, TLR, RIP, etc. If you do get a game with zero comms just keep on chattering on the command and force the rest to communicate with you, if it is the SL ask for lead or create a new squad, A newbie SL that at least communicate and attempt some coordination is better than 1000 hour SL veteran that is mute.

learn the controls and follow directions. As long as you're not in a squad of dickheads and letting them know you're new then people are usually willing to help. I'd look some things up on your own though so you're not asking 50,000 questions and getting people annoyed with you. There's also servers that are noob friendly to learn the ropes. Besides, you won't need to learn everything at once, likely a situation will pop up that causes you to ask and learn something or take note of it and look it up later.
