why you SUCK with the MEA - Squad Guide

i wanted to make a series of guides on each faction in squad, with the intention of encouraging players to play to each faction's unique strengths and weaknesses. many people play every faction the same, and i think that's a shame because there is alot of depth and nuance to how you play each faction in squad. i chose the MEA as the first because i think they are an interesting mix of a traditional faction with the capability of using asymmetrical tactics like the insurgents or militia would. they also get a bad wrap from the playerbase imo. i want people to use the MEA to their full potential and embrace their unique playstyle.
if this video does well, i will continue this series as a priority.

The Squad meta of armor running off to play World of Tanks instead of combined arms really stands out with this faction. I commonly see the MEA absolutely decimating enemy armor with abundant missile vehicles and strong heavy anti tank but the infantry gets their asses kicked by enemy infantry. Nowadays no IFV squad is going to accept using their vehicle to transport troops (ironic) so with no transport and hard to control weapons the MEA infantry just gets wiped (also the scopes suck ass)

[@thetrainshop]

Dude that shit drives me nuts. One of my best games I've had that resulted in a massive W was where I commanded a brad, with a friend gunning, and another driving, communicating over discord, but I communicated with squads for infantry support. We would transport a squad or fireteam to a standoff distance, suppress enemy defenses, ward off or fight vehicles if they showed up, the infantry would push and clear, we'd keep at standoff while keeping pace, take objective, defend it, they'd load back up, and we'd move on. Playing IFVs as they are supposed to is really the only way to do it.

[@ghostyboi9186]

the transport issue is what got me to finally stop playing squad. the ICO is actually painful to play if you dont have proper logistics and troop transport. you get to the battle tired and out of stamina while the defenders can sit in little gaps and snipe you with perfect accuracy from being able to stay relatively still and not waste stamina.

[@GORANJOVIC631]

Even worst, in 99 % of servers. If you call your squad APC/IFV and actually play like an APC/IFV with a full squad of infantry you will get kicked or your squad will be disband. And then they wonder why their IFV are getting struck by AT, but they have no god damn infantry to cover them.

[@Monifans]

the larger point of this series is to get people to play each faction in slightly different ways. to recognize the advantages and disadvantages factions have and to use that knowledge to their advantage. if players could adopt this mindset with the MEA, then i think we would see MEA win their infantry battles alot more often. this series is my small part in trying to foster that mindset.

[@jackjohn2733]

there is no nowadays. nobody ever wanted to use the tracked ifvs for troop transport. Not even infantry squads really want to use them.

@@sami-1-3-5 Sure the recoil is bad, but recoil is much less of an issue if you only need to hit one shot instead of two or three. Just go a little slower and get your gun on target instead of prefiring.

The one saving grace of the G3 in CQB is the hip fire. If you know the recoil pattern, you can shoot this thing pretty accurately inside 20 meters. Pre ICO, you could put a dot in the middle of the screen and just use that to aim lol. Much better than using the 4x scope in CQB

[@cr1tikal_arc]

pre ico you could actually shoot at stuff close range without having to crouch, hold your breath, slowly take aim, check for any dirt on the gun, consider asking the opponent for consent to fire in their direction, instead opting to take them out for dinner first

Quite literally, get good. The only time I really feel the ICO update's over-the-top(ness??? idk) is with Turkey, which is ironic considering it's the faction released AFTER ICO lol.

[@cr1tikal_arc]

​@@ptbeltwarrior lol, get good? average squad fanboy response, i guess. there is literally 0 excuse for these ridiculous changes. i shouldn't have to fight with my mouse everytime i want to shoot at someone. i shouldn't have to prepare so much before i shoot at someone just so i can have a CHANCE at hitting near them at close-medium range. ffs, the last time i played, i got the drop on an enemy at point blank (and i MEAN point blank) with a pistol. aimed center mass, and mag dumped into him. guess what? not a single shot hit. somehow the bullets just happened to move around him, or the recoil for a pistol is so obscene that firing the first shot sent it flying into the corner of my screen. literally no other game does it like this, and for good reason. there is no skill involved with having to drag your mouse around against where the gun is going, so what tf does it add? what value to the game does it provide? the skill in a game like squad lies within the strategy, communication, and logistics aspect. and then maybe aim. but that's still got nothing to do with the recoil. but sure, continue to cling onto this slowly dying game, led by out of touch developers that do not ever listen to their community after they sold out to some chinese megacorporation.

[@urmothwr]

When you have a battle rifle and are in doubt - rhodesian tactics are the way to go. They had FALs and G3s, immediately decided auto is useless, advised their troops to use semi only and if trying to suppress or at closer ranges, use two shot bursts (two shots, semi, quick succession).

[@jacklang3314]

This is why the Commonwealth L1A1 was semi auto.

[@trashcompactorYT]

Reason 1: You simply cannot comprehend the power of the G3 with iron sights

[@ad.tempus]

MEA is such a fun faction (Top 3 for me). Like you said, you just have to play much more patiently and make your shots count. With the infantry overhaul, you will need to know how to utilize point shooting, it is very useful and is 1 shot at that. Great rundown on the faction!

[@ItssMrT]

Insurgents are the best Habibi in Shalla allah will guide you to the right path Habibi

[@bobthebutler]

if possible, PLEASE DO THE WHOLE SERIES OF THESE GUIDES. This was really well done. and i also subscribed😁

[@icy3-1]

Years after v1.0, still gotta give the MEA credit for the fact that basically every single kit is armed with a battle rifle. Not an infantry player but I gotta respect that, particularly the scoped G3s which turns close to half of the available kits into pseudo-Marksmen. I'm just happy that the Iron Man MEA HAT bug never made a return. This was a bug introduced some time around v1.0 where MEA HATs were completely immune to bullets.

[@tylerm8371]

Great video! I wish there was more team collaboration at the beginning of rounds in Squad. Maybe a few minutes where everyone gathers and forms a plan. It would be a good time to give them tips, such as from videos like this.

[@chilliewhk]

I try to do that as an SL and then get some info from command chat. Really helps the squad understand what we are trying to achieve

[@ptbeltwarrior]

One or two positively energetic SLs that take initiative can usually get the rest of the SLs to work together. The biggest issue w/ teamwork is bitter SLs/Command killing the communication in the command chat.

[@chilliewhk]

@ptbeltwarrior the worst thing SLs can do is start griping in command chat and then spread it down to the squad. Really kills the vibe of any team. Even if you are losing you can at least try to stay motivated for the boys

[@honkhonk8009]

Ikr. The problem is you get servers where people just dont talk, and it utterly fails predictably. If you have competent command and Squad Leads, then its so much more fun. Makes such a difference.

[@fivesormeem3219]

Ya know whats funny, I see the MEA squads being very much WW2 Wehrmacht inspired, mostly because of the downfalls and advantages that the rifleman have with the Machinegun focus. Of course there is the obvious fact they are using german weapons(duh), but like, its even more so with how they are used, ranged, slower firing, slower engagements equals win for the G3, whilst the MG3 sits back and lays into the enemy with the high suppression, and if that goes down, the infantry becomes exposed, just like the old german squad tactics from ww2. Very interesting how we see the tactics still being used, over 80 years on.

[@hansshekelstein9450]

It is rather interesting, but I don’t think it’s particularly inaccurate. A lot of people assume because Middle Eastern Countries got Soviet Equipment, they got training, like how NATO advisors work. In actuality Soviet Advisors were just technical/mechanical experts. A lot of non NATO nations in the Middle East/Asia actually had inspiration from a bunch of different sources, even WW2 Germany, like surprisingly enough the Chinese PLA.

[@danmorgan3685]

The role of the two common infantry rifles goeth thusly: Assault Rifle: Intended engagement range: Short. Mode of Fire: Select fire (full auto or burst). Semi-auto fire is for taking occasional mid-range shots. Battle Rifle (like G3): Intended engagement range: Medium range. Mode of Fire: Semi-auto. Full-auto fire is for occasionally engaging targets at close range. To put it crudely the Assault Rifle was designed to replace the pistol caliber SMGs commonly used during WWII. The Battle Rifles was designed to replace the bolt action and earlier semi-auto rifles commonly used during WWII. The assault rifle won out because on the occasion that infantry riflemen actually did fire their weapon it was at an enemy that was 70 meters and closer.

[@HogHuntas]

watching yyour video made me realize the MEA is the perfect faction for me. i love playing as marksman, the MEA is basically all marksman kits that have auto as well. currently using the automatic rifleman kit and it shreds with the 4x scope and a bipod. this Guide has turned the MEA from me least favorite to one of my favorites, Thank you broooooo

[@Blind_Hawk]

Great video, wished a lot more people would play the factions to their strengths as to force the same playstyle to all of them. I would like to see the insurgents nexts.

[@bourbon2605]

MEA Are one of my favorite factions, its not like a regular well armed and trained army but it isn't on the same level as a insurgent force or a paramilitary group.

[@DLSanma]

The G3 OHK under 20 meters meaning that they are super strong in CQB and people need to make more use of this if they want to win fights as MEA. I would even argue they are better up close than at range, since you can just hip fire away and not have to deal with the recoil.

[@Monifans]

ill have to check it out. might be a nice way to even the odds in CQC.

[@Beebeebeeboo]

I generally agree with this take. You can go on insane tears with the gun, but it's high risk. CQB with the G3 is very unforgiving. You have to have really good game sense with where your rifle is pointing, as well as be fast and efficient with your shots. If you're in single fire in CQB, you're very likely to die if you miss 2-3 shots in a row unless youre both panic firing. If you mitigate this by going full auto, you're having to reload more frequently than an enemy who likely has 50% more bullets in their magazines. But man if you land that torso shot, does it feel good to clap

[@yournarrativehasexpired3201]

Yeah that was a game-changer. Upper arm, torso, or upper leg hits are now one hit kills under 20m with the G3.

[@lorenzosyperreck8941]

A hk33 or a mp5 would make a good addition to this faction, I still think that 75m for one-hit-kill is not much, if it were at ~140 it might start to make a difference (not only for the G3, but for all full power caliber rifles, and the 7,62x39 could also get a buff).

[@hrldp4394]

Yes i think like you: we should replace maybe the g3a4k to the squad lead by the hk33 or 53, and offer the 53/33 to the alternative of the g3, like the canadians with the C8 and C7 But maybe that is not correct in terms of the army they want to mimic

Considering the equipment, I would recommend WW2 German Squad tactics, which were based on the MG being the centre piece while being supported by riflemen. Military History Visualized has a good video on it. I mean, it is worth a try. A group that regularly plays together should be able to pull it off.

[@fotppd1475]

I plan to get the game soon specifically to play as the REDFOR factions. If you could make a video about one of them (preferably RGF) I would very much appreciate it.

No clue why everyone hates the g3, you just push with someone semi auto suppressing with the g3 while you throw grenades in then hipfire (or aimed if you dont have a scope). If you realize how to work around the heavy recoil you can body the other team in cqb since you have such a strong rifle. Also just never use full auto until you enter a room, but even then just rapid semi auto fire works great. less recoil and less ammo spent spraying around walls.

I wish there was an option to “hip fire” more accurately. If your keybind is set to “click” to ADS, it’d be cool to hold the aim button instead to level the gun a little better so you can “hip fire” a tad more accurately. And vice versa. I’m at the shooting range at least once a week IRL, you can absolutely shoulder fire without ADS in close quarters. It’s not perfect, but it’s totally doable. I understand the point of having 4x scopes to keep engagement distances fair (it’s hard to fight CQC with anything more than a holo/red dot) but it’s not just realistic nor practical. Or, integrate some sort of magnifier with red dots and holos like the MEE or GE mods.

[@LocalDiscordCatgirl]

One note: you keep saying that other factions use carbines which have less recoil. That’s close but ultimately incorrect. A carbine is a short barreled rifle, which the MEA has in the HK51 for Crewman kits. The distinction you are looking to make is ‘battle rifle’ vs ‘assault rifle’, the distinction being the cartridge. While the US may use the M4 carbine, they also have the M16 full length rifle. The AKS74U is the carbine of the AK74. The HK51 is the carbine of the G3. I guess you could call the HK51 a ‘Battle Carbine’ while the AKS and M4 are ‘assault carbines’

[@fireflyredux3373]

I've (tried to) play MEA mechanized... just to have the T-72's over-extend and get wrecked by infantry, tow's and M1A2's just to heavily bitch about my IFV trying to support infantry is astounding. Then the armor rolls on us, we pull back, and the cycle begins again.

The G3 is average in close quarters and good at long range, the problem is most long range engagements don't matter. And It's ass in the 10 to 40 m range, where duels are more common and fire fights actually matter.

[@shadowmamba95]

It is kinda funny that they just make the G3 their Rifle, AR, DMR, and LSW, lol. With that said, I kinda wish the MEA has a bit more variety in the carbines section because the HK51 ain't it. Maybe a Zastava M92 can replace the HK51 in this role. It fires an intermediate round that does a bit more damage up close than the BLUFOR 5.56mm carbines and rifles, while functioning similar to a hybrid between an AKM and AKS-74U, as opposed to a full-fledged BR.
