If you're going to be a vehicle squad, you're probably going to be trying to hog all the vehicles - air & ground - so why not just put them all in the same squad? The helis only realistically need like 3 people dedicated to them max(depending on the map). Tank squads often don't even have a third guy just spotting people, so they probably would need like 4 people to effectively man most tanks on the map? This isn't even accounting for the fact there WILL be multiple vehicle squads.

Just combine them into one type so it looks nicer and puts more like minded people together.

I would also recommend giving vechicle squads faster spawns onto heli's and tanks so they can hop in them first since they're the squads who are specifically dedicated to them (instead of 2 seconds for example, reduce it to 1) Kind of silly to be the heli squad, but then one bozo from a recon squad nabs the heli slightly before you and uses it to jump on a tower and not transport anyone (that's me).

To balance it out maybe only have like 3-5 vehicle squads allowed in 127's. Reduce that number down in 32s & 64s. There literally aren't enough vehicles to support more than like 2-3 squads anyway most of the time, so why not give the dedicated peeps better spawn in times on tanks and helis (only in spawn)?

A Tank squad needs 8+ players to be actually functional because they need an infantry escort to protect them from c4. 4 players is too small. Oki unfortunately doesn't get this even though I said it repeatedly.
As for helis it's not just the crewmates - people who get dropped down are apart of the helicopter squad too and very important for clearing points if you're playing in a defensive manner.

there's 8 players to a squad wtf

#

you sound very ineffective lmao

#

I have NEVER seen a tank squad have any infantry "escorting" them in the current vehicle meta

#

Slaz please stop terrorizing me 😭

#

I do agree with the heli portion, but I feel like that might fall under the job of the tactical squad as well. I've never had a heli squad communicate a bunch tbh

#

and like I said, usually they have like 3 people. I feel like if heli's and tanks work together in the same squad they can be a nightmare, just like in games like BF

#

Disclaimer tho, I also don't join tactical squads generally

That's why tank sucks and snipe from the safezone all game. There's rare instances when it can be in the thick of it and contribute to a push but it has to be among teammates. Only way for tanks to have genuine game impact is to work alongside infantry, drone recon, engis.
In the past I used to dronespot for an APC teammate and he did pretty well. This was both with 3d spotting and before 3d spotting too with red/white pings

Tanks protection is useless because too many anti-tank so your only hope to survive is to be always on the move, that makes it difficult for friendly infantry to follow

#

The only way for the infantry to keep up with you is to use a humvee, but most people are terrible drivers on-road let alone off-road where tanks go

I'm like 100% sure like 1% of people do whatever tf slaz is talking about tbh.

#

Even if vehicles were buffed, like I said 8 people is plenty in one squad to hog like half the vehicles

#

With three squads in a 254 you basically own all the vehicles

#

If people wanna do whatever tf slaz is suggesting, they'd probably be in a clan squad of 14 anyway
