How do you organize your squads? In my last play through (V15), I did 3 4-man teams organized as the following:
1. Team Leader: M16A1, M9, Grenades
2. Rifleman: M16A1, Medipack, Grenades
3. Auto Rifleman: FN MAG, LMG Ammo, Grenades
4. Designated Marksman: PSG1, M9, Grenades
It was pretty balanced, but it had some disadvantages:
1. Unless they got to high ranks, my squad would either have to move at the slow speed of the Auto Rifleman so he can have reaction fire, or abandon LMGs having reaction fire completely.
2. More often than not, I'd feel the need to split up in teams of 4 to 6. I'd have one or two guys go up north; four guys go to up the middle, three guys go north east and three going south east.
So now I'm considering having two fireteams of four, and two Scout elements. So I'd have fireteams set up as above (maybe have two Riflemen instead of the LMGer?) and elements set up like this:
1. Rifleman: M16A1, Medipack, Grenades
2. Designated Marksman: PSG1, M9, Grenades
I haven't used Shotguns since I figure they"ll have shit accuracy. Is it possible to throw ammo? Because maybe I could give the Auto Riflemen a pistol, and have someone nearby carry ammo without them having to go in the backpack.
