Listen up, squad leaders. Squad formations are a good and great way to take on the enemy. Today, we'll be going over some formations that are great for different situations.

The standard column. This formation is not recommended at anytime, becuase if you encounter an enemy right in front of you, your whole squad will be gunned down in an instant.

The zig zag. This is great for rushing objectives, because the enemy wont know which side to gun down first. When they engage one side, the other side can quickly fire back.

The point. This is great for running thru hostile forests/sand/dirt.
One in the back covers the rear, as the farthest back side covers the sides, while the front sides cover the front.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ }Stay at constant distance (5-10m) and speed.
The line. Another objective runner, this is great becuase the enemy can only take down one enemy at a time, becuase of the deviation on PR, the weapon can't stay in auto and go across a line like that properly (unless an AR--Squad is going to have to take the risk)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
- ^
^---^--fire team 1
[10-20M break] }Constant speeds and distance.
^---^--Fire team 2

This works great all around. This is the formation recommended for everything. If you really want to advance it, split them into fire teams, as shown above.

Best of luck, pwn3ge106.
The dashes mean nothing, they are there in place of spaces-- the forum didnt let me put spaces in, becuase it just reset everything to right justified.

You should have attended the Basic Infantry class that was recently held. It covered all of this.

+ rep if I still could for just mentioning real life tactics in the PR. Too much game-tactics and too little real-life tactics are in the mod/server these days.

This is my "depressed stance." When you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. The worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. If you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this. ~Charlie Brown

The fireteam one with each group giving the other cover should work best in 0.7 but its always hard to stick to anything formal like this, takes alot of disipline especially in a pub game


Have a look at this link:

The text thing is much harder to take in then maybe a bigger picture with a white background like what was linked. Its all about patience/boredom where as the motivation for a real battle would be fear vs sucess






Can still rate the thread
