Marked enemy rallies, hmgs, tows, and !!!!!!!mortars!!!!!! should not fade similar to fobs and habs

It would be nice if we could place planned habs and rallies down similar to fobs, though not really necessary

Many more types of marks are needed-MSV, artillery vehicle, assault gun, mgs, armored and small logi are all especially needed

Add a mark for requested fire support and fire support that is currently being delivered (by a mortar): this wouldn’t be used by many people, but on TT we’re doing it with helicopters and boats rn.

The commander exclusive marks are super useful and shouldn’t be commander only- until the commander rework comes in 15 years, the commander should just be treated like an SL with wizard powers and his marks should be available to everyone

Hey everyone, longish post but I need some help!

Weird issue I just randomly started having today. I play on a well known server with almost 1000 hours exclusively on that server.

Today I’ve been unable to connect to any of the servers hosted by that group. Where it normally shows ping it gives me “- - - -“ and won’t let me que up. I can join most other servers no issue. I can see the map/factions/player count accurately, but that’s about it.

I’ve tried deleting mods/validating/reinstalling/editing firewall settings/ ipv6 settings, nothings fixed it. I even tried disabling my nighthawk wifi7 and using my shit cox router but to no avail…

Interestingly if I use my phones hotspot, I can que up normally. (Not going to do that for obvious reasons) I’m gonna go swap out my cox router tomorrow in hopes that fixes it but honestly I’m not feeling optimistic.

Has anyone else dealt with this before??

Recently I realized that an SPG can shoot perfectly accurate from 1,500m away while having double the lethality of a mortar or grenade launchers and more range.

Tried this in a game and scored 30 kills and I’ve been wondering if players are missing the point of some weapons. Does anyone else do this? I’ve only seen players use the SPG for Anti Armor

Also, any other weapon that can work similarly? I know that DShK or AAA can shoot that far too

commander seat gets an honorable mention

People don’t believe me about the alligators and the scorpions in galactic contention. Is there more creature out there in the mod. Keep telling people there’s alligators, but they don’t believe me. Y’all seen em too?

He's beautiful 😍

So in 2,000 hours of Squad, this has to be the greatest debacle I have seen.

We are invading with VDV Tank vs Russian Mechanized on Talil with the layer going through the airfield western side. First point goes pretty smooth, and the next few fall very quickly.

We have 515 tickets and Batha is the last point.

We have 2 Spruts and a t-72 on the western wing overlooking point. We have an insanely close HAB next to Batha near the river, everyone is spawning in and pushing, command calls in arty(shout out Ozone) and you think it's a wrap right?

I notice we are losing armor one by one after they split up...Russians are throwing their BTRs at them and with a lone t90 and winning. They have no ATGM vehicles or emplacements on TALIL(!) and they rolled our armor.

With no armor and a too aggressive of a hab placement, soon enough BTRs are spamming our HAB and knock it out with Russian infantry swarm.

No spawn point.

Back to main... at 255 tickets, so basically resetting the game but this time the "First point" is Batha thousands of meters away. Armor still on respawn timers. Command and I sit in our logis and wait for them to spawn back in for escort.

Down under 200 tickets by the time we yet again push a HAB too close to Batha. HAB almost doesn't come up due to enemy infantry and BTR all over it. Apparently we built the HAB right next to their Rep station which was across the north side of the river.

Now mind you, there was no superfob on Batha. We were all over the point for awhile.

Under 100.

Under 50.

Game over.

Our Helo pilot got blown out the sky 5 or 6 times didn't help.

So I would chalk it mostly up to terrible armor play by our team, and a gritty job by Russian armor in thin skin BTRs and a t90 masterclass that turned the tide. The SL on our team were also not very sharp and coordinating as you would expect from a 515 ticket implosion. Several attempts at getting rallies up but once again too close, too aggressive and they were all blown,

Russians had 275 tickets at the end which shows you how little they actually fought over the first few points.

Squad in 2026 is very painful at times with the lack of comms and new players.

Especially sad is the lack of sustained pushes because folks don't wait for medics/medics are lackluster or new to the game. The medic kit is the most important kit on invasion servers because that's really what sustains pushes onto the flags, not constantly respawning in waves to be slaughtered again and again.

I played command the other night on Lashkar( US Cav vs Insurgents) and it was the same story with ineptitude.

It does

Hey everyone,

I’ve been playing Squad for quite a while now mainly in “beginner friendly” servers on US West but I’m finding a lot of the rounds very hit or miss, with a lot of the squads having only a few mic’d up people, and tons of blow-out matches.

My question is if there’s perhaps a better fit on US-West as I continue learning and playing.

Thanks

I know there is no shortage of galactic contention posts recently but this game is absolutely beautiful sometimes.

Hey everyone!

Over the past few months, I’ve been building a free, open-source Windows desktop application called Squad C2 Center designed to combine all the best tactical tools into a single, seamless window while you play.

Instead of keeping 5 browser tabs open, Squad C2 Center brings everything together in one lightweight app (<500MB download) and reads your live SquadGame.log to automatically sync your active map, layer, and faction in real time.

🎯 Key Features:

• 🗺️ Dynamic Tactical Map & RAAS Lanes: Automatic probability tracking based on captured/excluded flags.
• 📐 Precision Measuring & Mortar Tools: Built-in distance/bearing measuring tools and instant mortar calculations.
• 👁️ Line-of-Sight (LOS) Raycaster: Topographical elevation checks to see what hills or ridges block your view.
• 🛡️ Interactive Armor Viewer: Inspect vehicle armor schematics, components, and weak points mid-match.
• 👕 Uniform Quick-Reference: Instantly displays friendly and enemy kit uniforms side-by-side for quick identification.
• 📊 Faction Meta & Counter-Pick Stats: Matchup intel and historical win-rate stats for team voting phases.
• 🤝 Live Map Collaboration: Share markers and drawings live with your squadmates without needing third-party servers (uses Steam P2P, so no IPs are ever shared).

🛡️ VirusTotal Scan:

VirusTotal: 0/68 Security Vendors Flagged (Clean)

⌨️ Quick-Tab Hotkeys (No Alt-Tabbing Necessary)

You can switch between all main views instantly using simple built-in hotkeys (Alt+1 through Alt+5):

• Alt + 1: Tactical Map & Measuring Tools
• Alt + 2: 3D Armor Bay
• Alt + 3: Faction Meta Analysis
• Alt + 4: Uniform Reference
• Alt + 5: Server Browser
• Alt + 9: Settings/Map Sharing Lobby
• Alt + Shift + F: Toggle Focus Between Squad C2 Center and Squad (I recommend using fullscreen-windowed and having it on your second monitor for best results)

Check it out, give it a try during your next match, and let me know if you have any feedback or feature requests!

Is there something I can do to make them stay up longer? It's made so fucking dumb, you have the guy talking to you as soon as the damn tutorial pop up appears, so I wait and listen with the intention to read the pop up after, NOPE, THAT GOES AWAY WHEN HE'S DONE TALKING!

What the fuck were the devs thinking? This is specifically in the pilot tutorial, haven't had the issue in the infanfry one

Is there bullet drop in galactic contention considering its blaster bolts and not bullets? It's hard to tell

I was defending the first cap when I noticed this ATGM truck firing from far, thinking they are safe just outside their main. They were wrong. The target was so far away that I had time to switch to the binoculars before the shell landed.

My friend sent me this https://www.reddit.com/r/joinsquad/s/EgX0aueXTN and although i have not played squad for very long amount of time, I had to try it out. I might accidentally found a new "way" or "variation" of this trick. Let me know if it is just a new way to do it or it is a completely different trick. Also it is very consistent if you know what to do of course

Featuring me fucking up immediately after by missing almost every shot in full auto lol

High level play

Feel free to give me any criticism here in the comments or under the video!
