Currently the US army is still sitting in limbo compared to most other updated factions, especially compared to the new PLA changes...
Why not give the US army their full auto back?
Maybe instead of ironsights, give them eotechs?
Perhaps a Scar-H with a Elcan Spectre as a second marksman role?
Maybe we could even have one of the US army sub factions get the XM7 rifle as an option for the SL and riflemen.

US army doesnt use Scar-H for a DMR role and XM7 was only issued to a few units not the whole US Army.
M68 is the most common close combat red dot and most of their kits do have red dots and not iron sights anyway.

Full-auto is all they need right now and they'll be a great faction.
In-fact already a great faction with a really nice set of vehicles, but yes just the full-auto M4A1's are needed imo.

their logis should be updated, those M939s for both the army and marines are relics

Agree on the full auto addition with M4A1s. Also, it’s now called the M7 rifle and M250 automatic rifle, since the “XM” designation was dropped in May 2025, though that isn’t really needed in Squad yet
There are also a lot of other additions that other factions need a lot more than U.S. Army. But, even if all those additions were added for other factions, there is a lot of other additions that can be added to U.S. Army, like:
There are more additions, but this was just to name a few.
Also Elcan Specter 1x-4x optics are used by U.S. Army airborne, light infantry, and some Stryker units IRL, so a few kits within those sub-factions could get those as well:

New logis I do agree

Okay, then make it an alternative for rifleman and SL.
That's why I suggested only one sub factions of the army having access to it (xm7)

What do the British need?

honestly new armor and uniforms
they haven't been touched by the devs in a long time

Well it would only make sense for Air Assualt since 101st were the first ones to get M7 rifles for field testing

LDS optics were added years ago, Brist need a facelift for player models and missing some unique vehicles like Jackal 2 and Ridgeback/Mastiff

The U.S Army is the faction with the most facelifts over 10 years. Its had two separate playermodel overhauls, including camo variation changes with them. Its had multiple patches expanding its vehicle pool, and a few patches adding weapons.
There's plenty of other factions, that are just as old, that have received minimal changes, and still with their outdated playermodels in terms of Visual quality.

Elcan might be cool for the Airborne/light infantry units.

RGF and IMF are decent atleast in terms of vehicles.
mortal void
it is mainly their character models that are old and look like shit

Elcan might be cool for the Airborne/light infantry units.
yeah especially since the 3d model for it is already in-game, but they would need to give it a different reticle
the main faction that needs stuff is BAF, since their character models are old and they could also benefit from new vics/weapons

Very much agree, they look like mannequins with bright orange glasses and Chinese airsoft gear

Yeah not the equipment, talking about playermodels which havent been updated since 2015/2016

US Army is one of the most updated and one of the strongest factions in the game. PLA is the only faction I would say is better.
Other factions like BAF and ADF are in much more dire need of love.

at least in terms of win rate, the U.S. Army is definitely not one of the strongest factions. But, I agree it doesn't need more content.
These are stats since the v10.0 update back in November (I crossed out modded factions):
