Re: While we wait for CBT: Squad Composition


My 10 man squad, if I were to choose, would probably consist of the following (Not including MAX since we still don't know if it will be treated as a class or more like a vehicle. Heavy Assault could otherwise be swapped with MAX in certain scenarios):

Frontal Assault:

2 Heavy Assault
3 Light Assault
2 Medic
2 Engineer
1 Infiltrator (Could possible be swapped out for any of the other classes)

Base Capture:

3 Heavy Assault
2 Engineer
1 Light Assault
2 Medic
2 Infiltrator (They would scout and snipe/knife a few easy targets to clear the area for the main group beforehand)

Base Hold:

3 Engineer
3 Heavy Assault
3 Medic
1 Light Assault
Yeah I skipped the Infiltrator, don't feel like one would do much good in close-quarter indoors base fighting.

Ground Vehicle Squad (All purpose 10 vehicles):

2-3 Flash (Escort)
2-3 Lightning (Front cover)
2 Sunderer
Fill up the rest with Prowler/Vanguard/Magrider for POWAH.

In a straight line/convoy formation the order could be something along the lines of:

Prowler Flash Lightning
Sunderer Sunderer Prowler Flash
Prowler Flash Lightning

If that makes any sense at all

Aerial Squad (10 vehicles):

I don't think fitting together like 3 Liberators, 2 Galaxy dropship/gunships and 5 Mosquitos would work that well, they probably function best on their own/with ground support. Or with maybe 3 Liberators and 7 Mosquitos.

However I do intend to grab all of my friends and perform 1: A blitz with like 10 Liberators and 2: An arrow formation of nothing but Mosquitos with AV/AI weaponry that sweeps down and destroys everything!
