Explaining REAL Life Infantry Tactics (Pt. 2)

Haebyung = Marine (in Korean) | Dance = my Squad IG
A guide on how to play with Squad 6.0's Infantry Combat Overhaul.
I recommend starting with my first discussion video here: • Explaining REAL Life I... It will help this video make a lot more sense!
Here I talk about real-world tactics, and applying them to teamwork in the ICO. This one gets a lot more into the nitty gritty details!

[@HaebyungDance]

What are your thoughts on the grenadier and rifleman, their role, and tips and tricks to play them?

[@steven.2602]

this is a really useful video, but I think Im a little bit stuck on the use cases between support by fire and assault by fire. while I can understand the differences between the two they still (from how I understand it) essentially achieve the same thing, which is providing "support" for any maneuver element by gaining fire superiority over the enemy. is there any specific cases where I should use one or the other? perhaps both at the same time?

[@Pos3id0n.]

@@steven.2602I’d imagine it’s mostly a range thing, a machine gunner becomes lot more vulnerable when you start getting up close to an enemy, especially since theyre broadcasting their position while suppressing

[@HaebyungDance]

That’s a great question. The answer is that with support by fire, you’re goal is to help someone else do their mission, such as an MG shooting enemies to protect a guy moving to a flank to shoot a rocket at a bunker. Attack by fire IS the mission, where you’re specifically trying to kill or destroy something, and you’re not concerned with supporting anyone else. Any support effect is incidental.

[@lukesmith9455]

I think one thing that might be added, though I'm sure most are aware, is a medic is a rifleman first and a medic second. If they die trying to get someone up before the area is clear, they didn't help. Once the area is clear, they can easily revive anyone who was downed. (This is sometimes bad advice because Squad revive times for medic are pretty low, but often applicable.)

[@Sunesen]

Grenadier is a great assaulter. Pop grenades at the enemy to counter their defilade bonuses and suppress them, make instant smoke screens to blind the enemy and cover the advances, and they often have a decent gun as well for the dirty part of the assault. I choose the grenadier whenever I get the chance. The rifleman can move relativly fast, with usually a great choice of rifles that can be used to match the "environment" the battle takes place in (open terrain, Urban, etc) lots of magazines and extra grenades and the super useful ammo bag that lets the rest of the team stock up a little when things are getting critical. The rifleman class just seems to be a good all-rounder. He becomes essential if you have classes that quickly "chews" through their ammo like the heavy MG or Anti-Tank.

[@WillTuomi]

Since the ICO, I found that a lot of my squad members actually acknowledged some basic infantry tactics, which I wasn't expecting since most of my squad experience is just tomfoolery and bad comms. I blame you :)

[@HaebyungDance]

Haha I consider that a mission accomplished!

[@josephmason6372]

A good way to play the grenadier is to use communication. Don't just fire you smokes and expect your allies to move forward. Before firing smokes communicate to all squamates and blueberries in your immediate area that you are about to smoke and that they should push forward. Played right a single grenadier can secure a push onto a point.

[@HaebyungDance]

Great point - communicating your plans, intent, and what your teammates can do is another simple but underused tactic lmao

[@f1rebreather123]

Had this last night, helped us overwhelm an enemy hab and cut off their defense, which won us the game.

[@user-tx3xy7lw6w]

You should almost never use smoke as a way to obscure an assault. You should always use smoke to obscure enemy sight lines and open up a path for an assault.

[@marcdedecker3400]

One of the most underrated, overlooked and under-utilised class in Squad.

[@xXSgtWolfXx]

@@user-tx3xy7lw6w This is what a lot of people don't understand about smoke. It's such a basic concept to grasp. You're supposed to get it up in the enemies face to block THEIR line of sight, not throw or shoot it into the middle of an open field. All that does is give away your position and tell the enemy where you're about to come from and make it very convenient for them to point their area weapons at you and wipe out your entire assault element

[@_-Xenon-_]

This channel is absurdly underrated. You deserve way more subs for the effort you put into these

[@HaebyungDance]

Haha thank you! It's just basic stuff for gameplay but glad you enjoyed

[@Blind_Hawk]

The more I see explanation videos and tutorials to Squad, the more I love the ICO update. Even more than in the playtests.

[@baby33341]

Can you make a follow up video about putting it all together as a squad leader? Basically a squad leader video? I would like your opinion on this matter. I usually main squad leader and I would say that on top of the soft things such as morale, communication and positioning (intangibles). Sometimes kit selection as an SL really matters where I intentionally kick marksmen especially on certain close up maps and as you pointed out LATs can act practically as grenadiers on certain factions.

[@HaebyungDance]

It's definitely something I want to do, it's just a complicated one to put together because I also need the right footage and rounds to support it. The soft factors of leadership is something I've been thinking hard on!

[@jrdiamat6628]

Yeah I agree with this, I've always wondered how to actually action these concepts while squad leading

[@mimikal7548]

The double right click to raise your weapon is something I've been asking for but never realised was already in game! Thank you, it's great to see that it's a thing

[@tomas9820]

Great addition for the Squad community and as an individual who has read various manuals for fun and has applied the tactics and attempted to lead in such a professional manner. Fantastic! I firmly believe this is a great start for anyone who wants to experience this sort of gaming simulation. Squad is certainly a team orientated game and I have experienced many who play as if it's the traditional person shooter. This is a game of teamwork, coordination and patience. If you are really wanting to dive deep into the game. Start by opting for a support role. I.e. Logi runs, medic, reserve push, shovel operator and posting as security. As the game evolves and after many more games. you will certainly have an idea of the flow of it. Also, let your Squad Leader know you are new and you're willing to learn the fundamentals. (you'll get the good and bad leaders but stay positive). I hope that all that read this and watches this video, keeps to the game!!! because as crazy as it does get, there is no revive in the real world

[@GulfCoastGrit]

I feel so dumb for not realizing I was carrying around that many frags in the ammo bag. As often as I would be ready to offer that thing to my squad mates, it just never occurred to me I could use it like that 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@HaebyungDance]

It's truly a game changer

[@saloonno1232]

Been playing Squad since early Alpha. Played a lot with Squad Ops. Great explanation of proper assaulting. Are used to use the grenadier as suppression, but I think you are absolutely right to use them as a member of the assaulting squad.

[@HaebyungDance]

I appreciate it man!

[@icarusgaming6269]

I was taught for SBF to use explosives to force enemy movement and prevent enemy entrenchment under suppression so they either have to move away from the blast area into the cone of fire, or seek cover from the cone of fire into the blast area. Not only does this increase the lethality of SBF, but it also ensures the assault element doesn't have to deal with heavily entrenched defenders at all and can begin to engage squirters with small arms as they approach the objective

[@HaebyungDance]

Yeah dude that’s some real stuff. I tried to make the video specific to Squad, and limit the scope. I absolutely agree that explosives in SBF is a very valuable asset.

[@icarusgaming6269]

​​@@HaebyungDanceActually your point about only having one grenadier means you really do have to think about how to use them. Maybe AT could fill the gap, but they don't all have HE/frag warheads, and if a tank rolls up after you blew all your rockets on buildings you'll be sorry

[@joebob4579]

Hey thanks your the only ico guide so far

[@HaebyungDance]

No problem! Hope to see you back :)

[@chrissssGrustman]

Really wanna thank you for this upload! Was watching this and a few others earlier today, and put em straight to use, and applying what I learned made the game just sooo much more fun. Specifically firing and maneuvering was great; we set the squad into two fireteams that could support each other when one got into a fight, typically using the tips in this video along the way. Again, big ups to you!

[@oracuda]

fire and maneuver vs fire and movement in most military doctrines is literally just squad level and more vs between individual soldiers. a unit maneuvers, a soldier moves.

[@HaebyungDance]

It’s often how it’s treated but as far as SUT is concerned, the distinction still needs to be made for the reasons I laid out in the video. An individual can still maneuver as opposed to move if they are working off a buddy’s base of fire to flank instead of advance. A platoon is still moving as opposed to maneuvering if it’s bounding straight up a road instead of breaking off a squad. Maybe the distinction is academic, but I’ve personally found it to be a deficiency in irl theory.

[@Someone-lr6gu]

A very useful video for any milsim game from Squad to Combat Mission

[@davidponder1654]

The grenadier is arguably the MOST important man you have in an assault. Its almost never useless

[@TheAnalyticalFailure]

Nice video. I think the biggest challenge to success in your described assault in practical terms is division of responsibility within the Squad. It's a lot to manage the entire assault as SL, seeing as you can only personally view the supporting or assaulting element depending on which you choose to stay with. This makes the leadership of the element without the SL important and must be assigned ahead of the assault by a willing player even if they do not have the fireteam leader roll in game. Finding people with the willingness to take on such a duty, let alone several, can be a challenge with random players. Decisions that need to be made like when to open fire, what path to take, and the pace of movement are all important decisions these leaders need to both make and also direct to the rest of their element, and then the rest of the team needs to comply. In pub games this can be a challenge but I believe it is doable.

[@HaebyungDance]

Yes it’s absolutely essential for any small unit tactics that you have good low-level leaders and troops that know their stuff and have good initiative. It’s the biggest challenge of squad - and it’s why I made this video to help the playerbase learn!

[@braedenfurman9434]

Something I think you should go over is how commander assets (artillery and CAS) should fit into the assault as well as defensive tactics to use against the assault

[@michaelregonaldhouston9366]

PLEASE this. So many matches would benefit from at least one competent commander being available among the squad leaders of both teams. The problem is entirely with people not knowing how to use the assets effectively

[@aedanc621]

Love your videos, it really nice to have someone to contextualise trategic maneuver with in the squad. Most people know what flanking and support fire are, but it's not easy to see who each kit can contribute to that !

[@dailypoon_]

Great video, great explanation and visuals!

[@RockBlind2]

@dailypoon_ yo vids are amazing btw

[@HaebyungDance]

Thanks man!

[@flagrantyeti]

these have been great to watch! I'm quite new to squad since the spring sale and have been trying my best to contribute effectively, but I've never been great at FPS in general and it was a buddy buying the game for me that got me in it in the first place haha I've been playing exclusively as rifleman because I am leery of taking a limited role from better players and learning good stuff to implement in subsequent rounds, biggest downfall is confidence though so that's another way these vids are helping me!

[@HaebyungDance]

Even if you’re new - definitely don’t shy away from learning advanced things, or even learning about squad leading even if you don’t. It helped me to be a better player and understand what was going on in games, even if I didn’t directly do them myself!

[@UEemperor]

Great video as always. A lot of people rarely understand that not everything they do is "tactixxxx", and not every tactic is "boring yes sir no sir memesim". Simple things that they do every single time, BUT properly named, practiced and focused on, can be incredibly effective, efficient, AND fun. Keep em coming! Feedback: -The pacing was actually a lot better this time. (perfect ofc not but pretty good so gj there!) -The text disappeared way too quickly, needing multiple pauses. (would be nice to at least catch a glimpse before it goes away)

[@HaebyungDance]

Yes! Great points. And as always, your feedback is incredibly valuable - thank you!

[@kgeo2686]

Here's my thoughts as a Day 3 Squad Noob on day 3 of a BINGE. I love the Fire and maneuver gameplay. Idk what it was like before ICO but this really seems like an incredible solution to the the run and gun arcade nonsense that is in literally every other shooter ever. It feels really great to actually care about Stamina and Movement management. My Friends and I always complain we wish we had a slower paced more tactical shooter!! Well I feel that Squad has managed to make that a reality by enforcing realism constraints on their game. I can't believe I never played this sooner!!!! Edit: HOT DAMN THIS VIDEO IS JUICY!!! Wow I learned a lot. Took some great notes. Thank you!

[@HaebyungDance]

[@wildside69]

Cheers dude, your last couple vids have really helped me wrap my head around the new update 👌

[@LAZYB00GiE]

These tips are pure gold for those who struggle with the ico

[@Elipus22]

My favorite part of attacking is smoking out the enemy. Get one squad to hold down a frontline assault, apply pressure and so on, then get two squads to flank. IFV rushes into smoke after heavy supression, or inf uses smokes available to make flanks impossible to see. Now you have a confusing defense. You can't see the main attack, but you know you need to defend it. The frontline attack is blunted, but now they have easy shots at those moving to defend against the flank. My favorite defending tactic is to break out of the main defensive location because I can outflank the flanking attack, blunting it significantly even if I don't kill. Why? The surprise is eliminated, and the squads moving into position are now dispersed to deal with me.

[@comradestylin]

Thank god someone finally pointed out riflemen kits having so many grenades. Stellar point I wish more people thought about.

smoke generators are also extremely useful in the new update if you have a faster armored vehicle! especially w a 50. if you're getting ready for a push, and engage your smoke gen as your crossing directly perpendicular to the obj, you can provide a huge smoke wall that an entire team can push behind while you suppress them w your 50.

[@needy3535]

for certain compounds you can surround them in smoke, especially on desert maps

A reminder of the difference between cover and concealment would probably help for those who don't already know (maybe you already covered it in a previous video, but for those who just see one video in the series.) A segment on risk assessment/management could be useful, too. A lot of newer SLs make daring plays over and over and get frustrated when it doesn't work. Helping them take a step back and find courses of action that are nearly as fruitful and involve less risk could help.

[@HaebyungDance]

Yeah I talk about cover and concealment in the discussion video preceding this one, so I needed to try and cut out all unnecessary information possible in this one. I this risk assessment/management/judgement is a great topic that probably warrants its own discussion. Thanks for the feedback man really appreciate it!

[@primisto7530]

I recently had a squad lead who made use of these tactics super efficiently. The enemy was hunkered down with bunkers and buildings on a point that is surrounded by mostly open field. Most of our team approached from the very open north and got slaughtered. Only a few to the east. We drove up to a forest behind the enemy, set up a HAB, cleared out the enemies in that forest and set up a support element to supress the enemies (essentially shooting from south to north). Meanwhile, the rest of the squad was in the "approach phase" flanking around to the west using the forest. The west was not only generally closer to the enemy point, but also didn't have enemy positions that cover the area. Besides that, there was a hill half-way to the objective granting cover to move up unseen. Once we reached that we were able to simply walk up to the point. Sadly, we didn't take it because our team lost another point, but it was one of the most fun assaults on a point I've had in this game ever.

[@Fabzil]

So what you are saying is the position you were moving in from the West, was also being shot at from the South by the support element, and finally also attacked from the North by the blueberries? Damn, a 3 way attack, that would be brutal

[@nicotvas]

Great in depth video, I mostly play SL or commander so this video will help me lead more efficient

[@itsflavin4835]

Also most players use smoke grenades wroung. And smoke the line of sight for your friendlies, essentially helping the enemies more random your team

[@HaebyungDance]

I appreciate it - thank you

[@ur4yk]

This is so true.. Mostly you don't even need to understand the complex assault tactics to use your surroundings. Most players just rushing in like orcs because they are playing just for kills and objectives completely unimmersed. As soon as you imagine you are in the middle of battlefield and you could die - you will use landscape, won't run on top of the hill reveling your siluette and will slow down your passing organically

Would love to see a video discussing ideal formation and tactics of moving a squad sized element across open ground with no good cover. There are situations where transportation may not be coming and crossing open ground is the best tactical solution - in squad a lot of the time guys just run in a line without any sort of plan which results in chaos if met with any resistance. I'd also like to see you model a breakout for squad players as well. Almost no one understands the concept and being surrounded is made even more miserable as a result of people not knowing what to do.

I don't play Squad, but I still enjoyed watching your video. That being said, I come from the Battlefield franchise (BF2 specifically), and I find that getting blown up by _noob tubes_ - slang for grenade launchers - head-on is one of the lamest things a player can do, as opposed to engage in a fair, skill-based, gunfight. Oooh, and don't get me started on those (again, I'm talking *Battlefield 2* here reader) who walk around with bazookas in their hands, to one-shot infantry soldiers: that is the worst man! ahah

[@jackwalters5506]

The grenadier role varies alot by faction. Some factions have a "grenadier" which uses frag rockets. Russian and Turkish Grenade Launchers can function as light mortars as well. For factions that have both the Grenadier and the Raider kit, it is usually better for the grenadier to be with the suppression team and the raider to be with the assault team since hand grenades are better in close quarters then the GL

[@Aphichat.]

This happen a lot in squad. When an enemy team did so well in flanking. My whole team just panic refuse to leave the hab area. They just start to hide and block the whole team up. Then the whole area get over run. Then there is the other problem of squad leaders. Build hab in the objective. I have so many argument with many squad leader. To not do it. The problem, when enemy push in. They can take control of the area and the spawn location at the same time. If you dont have a backup hab. Like 90% of the time. We dont. That objective going to be lose so quick. Then we argue with each other, what when wrong.

[@makapeach2627]

Hey, can you make a video or briefly express your opinion in the comments on how to build effective FOB's? I am new to Squad with only 40 hours on record, and I've been thinking how to make good use of deployables, such as anti-tank weapons, machine gun bunkers, mortars, as well as cover elements like observation towers, HESCO blocks, sandbags, and razor wire. I am curious as to where I should install these deployables, how and when to use them effectively, and if there is any use of building them in the first place

[@HaebyungDance]

FOBs are situational tools. If we ignore invasion for a moment, a good weapons FOB needs one thing: good fields of fire over key map areas that will stay important for the entire or a long portion of the match. The heart of the FOB are the heavy weapons. Easiest to use productively are mortars to coordinate offensive and defensive bombardments. TOWs should be set up where you can deny roads or open fields to enemy armor with long lines of sight. HMGs require really good positioning but are useful to complement positions where you already have guys setting up a fire position. Defensive structures like bunkers, HESCOs, towers, and razor wire should be placed sparingly as needed, and not be used for their own sake. For example, mortars might want indirect fire shelters to protect against counter battery fire, or machine gun emplacements could use razor wire to funnel the enemy into kill zones.

@@HaebyungDance Woah, this is a quick response and a useful tip. Thank you 👍

[@PASTRAMIKick]

these all seem like common sense to me, I mostly play like this.

[@underseaowl7440]

I'm a fairly skittish player, so if I get shot I bandage immediately, but I noticed you don't do that. Is not bandaging until later viable?

[@HaebyungDance]

Yeah generally it takes two hits to die - if you get shot once you still have plenty of time before you bleed out and get downed (you should have ~2/5 health) That’s time better used to finish the fight or find safe cover.

[@sicklysphaghetti461]

Okay I've watched a lot of videos about attack tactics and it's great but I'm wondering about defense now

[@HaebyungDance]

Don’t worry I’m planning on it :)

[@TheJamesboink]

A fact: Flanking is great in EVERY FPS game. Tarkov, Insurgency, BF, COD, you name it - people always look at last seen position. Always.

[@timspiker]

I feel like I just watched the debrief before going to battle, now I'm ready for battle. Poor plebs won't know what'll hit em 😂

[@BraxtonCox-vz7nv]

Ayo can you do an area defense breakdown?

[@HaebyungDance]

Defense is in the queue of topics to cover

[@bolthawk2316]

I feel like I'm back in OSUT 🤣🤣 what you should teach people next is actually spacing a fireteam and not bunched up for that well placed rpg shot

[@bolthawk2316]

Also deadbodies only attract more dead bodies

[@ironwarrior6140]

Do players actually listen and follow those tactics from the section leaders in the game? Im debating on if i should buy it or not

[@HaebyungDance]

It’s highly dependent on the server. You’re more likely to get consistent teamwork if you’re part of a clan.

[@irlanderillustrations7517]

hey buddy, id love for you to make videos of this sort for escape from tarkov. if u play that of course :)

[@HaebyungDance]

Hey! Sadly I never got around to playing EFT. Would be interesting. Perhaps!

[@wewillrockyou1986]

Even in old squad you were marginally faster if you ran between 100 and 50 stamina than if you just held shift at 0 stamina, it was already worth it back then imho. With the ICO, this should be second nature.

[@gmeme9252]

the problem I've experienced is that the game is too commercialized. Teamwork is very rare these days and as good as this is, 90% of squad players have limited understanding of fire and maneuvering properly. When this game had a more die hard player base it was more common for team work to be seen in games. the experience of this game 100% relies on the people playing, and sadly most people play this game like its battlefield.

[@HaebyungDance]

Yep and that’s why I made this video! To try and help the community. And remember it’s all theory so it sounds a lot grander and more complicated than it really is in practice.

[@gmeme9252]

@@HaebyungDance yeah I just wish people took the game bit more serious instead of running in and dying haha.

Isn't amazing what ICO enabled?

Advanced shift W could just be called bounding… very common military practicce

[@SrStakeholder]

Lol 0:52 first, check the map for friendly units second, check the opposing faction and finally engage the enemy in front of you

[@HaebyungDance]

I thought I was going crazy because NOBODY ELSE had killed him. Afterwards I turned to my teammates like "How tf did we assault, proxy, and dig down the enemy HAB" and we didn't kill this guy?!"

[@squirrelz6117]

What happens if your flanking element runs into the enemies flanking element lol.

[@HaebyungDance]

Great question. It’s important to remember that tactics are not formulaic - they should be flexible. If you’re flanking element ends up in a straight up fight, it might be worth switching footing so your support element repositions to help them. There’s also only so much a single group of guys can do, and that’s when you need help from other squads. Unfortunately, that’s difficult to do. Or you could just fight grind and win that way lol.
