Pls make the marker of a players squad a different colour

I can easily find where my squad is in this photo, but usually I need to dig around in a sea of similar stuff

I’d suggest maybe an orange or gold type colour to help differentiate it and make it easier to spot

A dev already picked up on it but, perhaps helicopter pilots should not get the third person, they can use it to see where your tracers are coming from.

My AAR:
I joined as soviets in a recon squad. Me and my squadmate provided fire support at Military Base Levy with NSVs while my squad leader seized it with other teammates.

My SL ( @hasty ocean ) got into a helicopter and located the American MOB near Power Station. He airlifted me and my squadmate there. We encountered FIA and he was KIA. I managed to kill the guy and escape. He had an American radio on him. Great find.

The firefight between FIA and Americans was intense.
I could hear a helicopter circling the area, as well as an LAV firing at the distance. The FIA was getting crushed at Power Station and night was approaching fast.

I headed to Étoupe to ambush the Americans as they headed further south. I slipped unnoticed to avoid fighting the FIA. They weren't my enemy at the time, but I did not want to end up like my squadmate.

Just as I was getting into position, an American construction truck passed by, heading south. I tried following him driving a van, but lost line of sight. I heard on enemy radio "Hey you in construction truck, turn right, we're here".

I kept driving and found them south east of Hedgehog hill, setting up a base. By that time, it was night and the Americans had taken control over Power Station.

My SL contacted me. He had an NSV and a bold plan. I could hear enemy radio chatter "Hey! I saw a Soviet at Gorey. He went past me in a jeep!". That must be him. The helicopter started patrolling around with his searchlight on.

We met at a beach in the pitch black and climbed south of Lacan's Head and set the NSV up there. When we had the Huey on our sights, my SL said "Shit, I got KPVT ammo instead of NSV ammo".

He then came up with an even bolder plan: let's sneak into an enemy base and steal a 50 cal. He drove into an enemy base, but it was crawling with enemies. He eventually got spotted and I escaped in the vehicle. I headed to Gorey while being pursued by the helicopter and under fire from some heavy machineguns

The performance on NA servers is much better than on EU servers. Since switching, my FPS increased from the 30s to around 60-70.

I managed to hide at the forest near Gorey.

Now, the battle for Montignac was raging and I wanted to block reinforcements. I moved the pre placed mines from the fields west of Gorey to a roadblock nearby.

Two Americans drove through the ambush point in a jeep. I waited for the explosion, but they simply stopped at the roadblock. I started firing and managed to get the driver. The passenger got out, but I shot at the landmine and the explosion got him.

Most importantly, I had an American jeep and a disguise. I drove into Montignac in disguise. It was taken by Americans, but there were already some friendlies in there.

We were capping. I switched to my Soviet uniform. Americans started to pour in, supported by an LAV to the NE near Tower.

We stopped capping and Americans were already heading towards Transformer Station. I managed to get an American driver, but my teammates started to die off and the sun was rising.

It was time to reconnect with my team at Provins and return the intel I had gathered. I put on my disguise and drove through the main road in Monti.

It seems my disguise was blown. I started getting shot by a 50cal and even an LAV it seemed.
I sped through the fields towards Pinewood Lake while under fire.

I switched to soviet uniform as I followed the powerline towards Provins. When I arrived near my teammates, I was welcomed with an RPG to the face. This is how I died.

Always say on the radio when you are heading from enemy positions towards friendlies in an enemy vehicle.

I thought the play test went well. everything on my end seemed to run well. Got one little freeze for a couple seconds but besides that the servers seemed fine. Only small issue I saw was the Ai running into their own mines, don’t know if the Ai can have some sort of awareness of mines that they should know about. Also I liked the FPP only it felt nice knowing other people couldn’t abuse TPP to look around corners.

My SL ( @Matteo Urist ) got into a helicopter and located the American MOB near Power Station.
Where did you find the helicopter?
I thought you flew off to scout the area 15 minutes into the match.

Reminded me of the old days of Warfare on Arma 3, where experienced fighters would pull off the same trick.

When we had the Huey on our sights, my SL said "Shit, I got KPVT ammo instead of NSV ammo".

hehe, like IRL

Thanks everyone for yesterday's game, especially DKViking for his guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines and the destruction of a colossal amount of supplies and various vehicles.

It's great that the command truck is working again, allowing us to change our strategy on the battlefield a bit.

It was fun to play in first-person view. I hope some of the official servers for the stable version will be configured this way 🙏
I'll say that the gameplay in the BTR/BRDM for hunting the Huey hasn't changed much, as the driver has access to third-person view, allowing you to adjust the gunner's aim.
I shot down many helicopters this way. I especially liked it when they were flying in pairs, one after the other.
As always, my mission stalled in the forest when I flipped over a random rock...

I wasn't particularly pleased with how late the game started. Perhaps it would be better to start it an hour or two earlier. And two servers were launched at once, which added some confusion.

I don't know how the game ended, but it was, as always, an endless war of attrition. And the one with the most players on their team usually wins.
Perhaps some aspects could be sped up to make the game more single-player action-packed, rather than sluggishly unfolding...

It was great fun, one thing that striked me was that blue team talked almost constantly, making it easy to locate them. But nothing with the game, game ran smooth, except the infamous gpu hang.

For those who played in both the EU and NA sessions, did you experience markedly different performance between the two servers?

I had seen some players say in-game that the NA server was running significantly better for them performance-wise (not just connection / ping due to location).
