Are they serious with these squad size limits?

Why can only 4 people be in your squad at once? My friends and I all want to play together.

How do clans engage in competitive battles if they can only have 4 people in their groups at once? I heard that it used to only be 2 in a squad and that 4 player squads was a premium feature... That is ludicrous. This is an online game.

Squad size is 4 players because otherwise squads would destroy the game. Imagine your team of random people who can't speak the same language vs an entire team of coordinates players who work together? Not fun and game breaking

Squadron battles are avalaible via the Events tab during a certain time of a day and only for certain tiers to avoid unbalanced battles (jets vs biplanes)

He's right, I used to be able to clean house with my 4 man squad.
On an average day getting ~8 kills between us and that's not counting bots with minor damage or 1 shot down at best. Mind you this was tier 4 where squads are always seen.

The same thing happens when I'm by myself, I see the enemy team just rack up kills since most people just go after points or dive on the first target they see. (AB and RB)

So I could only imagine seeing a squad of 5 or even 6 in a match. And I've seen at most 8 clan members in a single RB game because they spilt squads 2 squads of 4 in queue at the same time.

Also idealy 4 man squads are what you want since you have 2 "leaders" and 2 "wingman" any more would just be hard to keep track and distinguishe single pilots, Especially in SB where the HUD is severly limited.

i must admin, id like to see the squad size raised ,but i can also see where the devs are coming from, who know maybe in the future, the server limit will increase and maybe the squad size along with it.

a squad is 4 people.

A squad size increase will be overpowered if you can fill one. Queue syncing two squads is a guaranteed win. 8 people that can communicate with each other is a 100% win, and it's really not that hard to do.

Seriously? you want more than 4? guess it will be a 8v2 game then.

[Kutya7701]

A good idea to do this would be if it would have spcific matchmaking, where 4+ player squads can only play with other 4+player squads

[COEPTIS]

A squad is 4 people. You should ask them to change the name to quint first then get 5 people.

Hunting clan members is fun because I know when I kill one they're probably cursing to their mates on voip.
Eight player squads would be heaps of fun regardless if I was out numbered or not, the only downside is when the same players circle around to camp the spawn.
It wll probably never happen but bring it on I say

Go play WoT and then try to complain about squad sizes in this game, seriously, I'll wait.

yall mad

I understand it can be really frustrating to lose to a coordinated squad when nobody on your team says a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing the entire game. Who the ♥♥♥♥ thought online games involved communication?

[hello]

In a world where matchmaking isn't advanced enough to group similar size lobbies together...

[preston.sh]

Seriously though i've played other MMO's that involved two teams meeting on the battlefield. There were no restraints against playing with your friends. Playing against a coordinated group is tough but definitely not impossible or game breaking. Disallowing people to play with all their friends together is awful.

[hello]

Something I've noticed here is that none of you have addressed the option to create a more devastating player group by doling out cash to the developers. How does that factor into your team-balancing platform?
