We should let people one man armor

[Specter]

I am sick of getting destroyed by armor and having no ats and a ton of armor back at base because you need two people to man the armor. One person wants to shoot and one person does not want to drive it is mental. If they enemy has more armor than us we are at a disadvantage and a lot of the times a ton of armor is left at base if we allow people to one man armor it will motivate more people to use all of the armor at our disposal. I am sick of this elitist mindset restricting people to play the way they want this game will never be 100% realistic and that is fine as long as it is releastic enough to be immersive

you realy think that rule is here because someone wants "realistic gameplay" :D hilarious go play armor alone and you will see exactly whats going to happen

i agree with boss here lol, also makes for damn near every match to be over in like 30 minutes from ticket loss. lol. which could cause a steady decline in players from absolute garbage gameplay like one manning all the armor. also, you technically can one man the armor, if you find a server that allows it. but furthermore, you realize the game is LITERALLY called "squad".. right? lol. like going out the way and making a post about wanting to one man the armor, SOLO, is kinda funny to think about for a game called "squad"..

This game doesn't have a goal of being 100% realistic but it does have a goal involving the emphasis of teamwork. When you're in armor alone the desire to want to be self-centered and not care for your team sky rockets. You will be far more reckless due to greed and thus harm the team because you will be wasting assets getting tanks, APCs, ect destroyed. This is stuff the team needs and ONE player can ruin it for the team. So no, I don't agree that players should be able to solo this stuff and it has nothing to do with elitist mindset.

to destroy armor i have to micromanage my team and tell them to play at or man an armor with me there is a difference between teamwork like putting up fobs and telling my squad general directions ie push this objective and having to micromanage someone telling them to play at which sometimes they may not be good at or force them to do something they don't want to do. Sometimes I do have someone that is good at AT and is willing to man an armor with me but those people are not common enough

You're putting forth an idea that clearly goes against the desired meta of the game, there are some serious problems allowing players to solo these assets, they're too valuable to be up for grabs to a solo player and there is no doubt in my mind that if someone is allowed to solo them they will be foolish with them. Not only that but they're far less effective as a solo player.

I just can't support the idea of allowing such a thing that is anecdotal and clearly goes against the games desired meta. I will agree that Squad does have it's issues at times when it comes to teamwork but I have found that they're highly exaggerated on the forums. It's simply just what is going to happen when you're in a public server.

More often than not I personally have wonderful times in Squad working in a squad with competence and communicating with blueberries I come across. I have many videos of great times in Squad and so do others.

Meta? This is not a competitive game most people who play this just play it for fun and what isnt fun is being destroyed by armor it is such a pain to deal with they should limit the amount of armor by at least half or altogether it is very rare that someone actually enjoys playing armor most people would rather do infantry. This game is about immersion and fun not competition

I never said it was a competitive game. Meta meaning teamwork. When you allow players to solo tanks the incentive to want to work as a team simply drops. You're going to want to be a one man army.

As someone who has commanded vehicles in Squad for hundreds of hours I can tell you that the reason most servers do not allow the one manning of vehicles is that you are nowhere even close to being effective on your own. Vehicles are worth more tickets than infantry and wasting them on someone who will 99% of the time just be a waste leads to the game being not fun for the rest of the team.

You're thinking of this in a simplistic manner and not understanding my point I am trying to make.

[Specter]

Just severely limit armor it's rubbish no one likes armor or at least very few and dealing with them is just a pain people play the game for infantry perhaps 2 armors on each team without the ability to respawn them would be nice I want the game to be more focused on infantry

[Specter]

There was one Match I played where they had three bloody armors on one objective and no one one in my squad had at and we had a load of armor back at main which no one was using they completely shut us down

If no one in your squad has AT then switch to AT, if your SL doesn't force someone to take the AT then make your own squad and have them bring AT. If armoured assets are being unused by the team make a squad and use the armour.

Be the change you want to see in the world.

I was the SL and I hate using armor it's boring and slow I asked my squad and none of them were good with AT

One manning armour. Never going to work. Lets just say for sake of argument you do spot an enemy vehicle a few seconds before he spots you. your dead. Because you have to become static (vehicle without a driver is going to come to a stop), change seats, and reacquire the target from the turrets current orientation, hope that you have the right ordinance loaded, and fire.

A fully crewed vehicle, is mobile, spotting with accurate directional calls, and has a gunner ready to fire based on those calls.

A solo operated fighting vehicle, is basically just a coffin with the last nail waiting for be hammered down.

There is no argument. One manning a fighting vehicle is just a wasted asset.


Edit (side thought) : The no one manning rule is not a game rule, it is a server rule. You don't like it then just find a server that doesn't enforce it. And good luck.
