Those are solid tips. Like redeploying, don't be afraid to leave a squad that isn't communicating, or kick a player that doesn't want to be part of the team.
Best tip I have. Learn the map and what the difference stuff on them mean. Situational awareness is like 75% of the game. It’s really important to be able to look out into the distance, identify important stuff(infantry, armor, supplies, garrison, outpost etc.) and effectively communicate that info to your squad and team with talking and markers. Put an infantry marker over a group of stealthy enemies and watch anyone on your team go straight there.
Recon: Go and find those supply drops, nodes and garrisons. You would be surprised how much you can mess up the other side by doing this. Sneak around the sides and don't shoot everyone you see if your close to something you can destroy. Search and destroy. Mark all points of interest for command along the way. Wish more recon teams would operate in this manor.
Tip from my side: If you die and are bleeding out, do not hold F to give up. Instead, hit escape, click redeploy and confirm by pressing Y on the keyboard (faster than moving the mouse to click yes). This is faster than giving up and allows you to be in the spawn screen earlier. This can make the difference between you still being in time for the next garry / OP spawn cycle or being too late. If you are bleeding out and redeploy, you will not get the 10s penalty for killing yourself.
A tip that helps me a lot during a game is this: listen. And I don’t mean listening to your chain of command, that’s a given. I mean listen to the sounds the game makes. You can usually discern all types of things once you begin to recognize the consistency with each sound and they become excellent tells for repeating situations. A major sound to listen for: planes. Planes are an excellent way of discerning what the enemy intends to do whether it be supplies, ammo crates, airheads, strafing or bombing runs, precision strikes, or recon planes. Whats even better about them is each plane for each faction has a unique engine sound at least when it comes to drops. There are so many things to listen for. Gunfire, tank cannons, tank engines, trucks, arty, etc. Knowing these sounds gives you more information about your environment and therefore prepares you for your next move. For example: if you hear an enemy recon plane overhead while you’re in a stationary tank it’s probably best to move positions as the enemy commander will likely want to confirm your position for a precision strike. Always be listening and discerning.
As a officer or command a jeep or Kruger wagon get you around fast to put up garrisons. Half track is good for quickly regaining a spawn for your team and you can move the spawn. Make your nodes then place an mines around them to protect. Or drop both boxes from the truck and box it in with barbed wire. Belgian gates can give you access to roof tops of buildings for a height advantage. You can build the AT gun at the top of the building in stalingrad. Just some of my tips
I’m new to the game on ps5 in my first week actually I mainly use artillery and I use it effectively zero friendly fire in 6 matches but command gave me this bone chilling order I don’t think I’ll ever forget the commander spawned at hq to tell me “hey I’m getting requests from multiple squad leaders for immediately artillery on grid E-6 danger close approved rain it down now!” I replied “sir theres 10 friendlies they will be within the 20m kill zone!” He just said “that’s the point dammit send it now or I’ll shoot you and get someone else who will those boys are running out of time FIRE NOW!” I fired at least 5 shells in 20 seconds all landed on the grid I looked at the scoreboard I had gone from 20 kills to 48 in one strike but I killed 9 friendlies… the commander said well done lad you single handedly stopped that huge push we will win this battle all our tanks arrived at the church it’s ours but I felt ill sure I had killed the enemy but at the cost of 9 friends since then I haven’t had the confidence to get back on arty
The fact this game give people ptsd tells me it’s right up my alley. I just got it and I’m learning so much. I need to get a mic though but still listen to orders and help with the knowledge i know.
dont be afraid to lock an infantry squad with only you as the leader. doing this to play arty allows you comms with other squad leads as well as markers you can place to aim your arty.
Another thing veeeeery important about halftracks (i just learned it after watching Valhalla's commander guide) is that it is great against recon units. Recon units are mostly in the enemy backline looking for and taking out garrisons, But thet cannot take out a Halftrack. If they'd want to take out a Halftrack they would need to: 1) call a tank to break it, wasting time for the tankers. 2)dedicate the unit to stay next to the halftrack to block it, thus losing time scouting the rest of the area. They dont have any way to blow up the HT by themselves, so it is a good counter for backline spawn points.
Building nodes is best with Engineer and supplies, you can drop 1 box and the supply box and build all three, this gives you another box of supplies from the truck for the defensive point.
I basically always play locked squad with friends. If you don't get accepted in a squad of (high level) players it's usually because they're keeping a spot or spots for their friend(s). It's nothing personal usually..
The last few games I've had, there were barely 25 people when the game started. 2 of the locked squads had 3 men the entire game but wouldn't let anyone in. Like I get it, you wanna play woth your friends, there are other things you can do rather than jump into a team oriented game and refuse to work with said team? The game is great but some of yall take it a bit too seriously. Found a satchel one day when I first started playing, I was still learning so I didn't realize it was a friendly, dude shot me in the head even though I stopped what I was doing once I finally saw it was friendly. Point being, there are some awesome friendly people on here but from my experience but there are also some douche bags that forget we are a team at the end of the day. Can we not buy our own servers in this game? Normal people woukd buy a server to avoid having to play with any randos
If you build the manpower node as support, it instantly fills your supply box meter. Just ask the engineer to place the Greenprint and just hammer away
@ 7:24 "#17 Plan your garrisons if possible" I will give you credit for the "if possible", but in most cases on public servers it's unrealistic. I really wish people would stop trying to push this strategy. In order to get this to work, you have to build 3-4 garrisons no more than 150m from the point. You also have to have people willing to defend those garrisons. This just doesn't happen on public servers. In most cases on public servers, you are lucky to get one garrison and a handful of people from different squads willing to defend. When this strategy is tried on public servers, you end up with one or maybe two garrisons, 175-200+m off the point (to far to defend). One reasonably well placed MG and the whole team is cut off from the point. While the MG is murdering your team, his teammates are moving to take out your garrison. On public matches, it's quicker and easier to defend if you have a support player keep a spare set of supplies on the point, and a single squad leader willing to replace the garrison if it goes down. I really wish people would stop pushing this strategy on UA-cam, because it's just not realistic!
Yeah depends on the team so its not always possible. But i does happen at times in public servers in my experience but usually in the evening when more people communicate
@@GoudaGamer It's been my experience that more often then not this ends in disaster, regardless of the time of day. Even if it were a 50/50 chance, why would you tell people to risk their match on a strategy that, on a coin flip, could end in a steam roll? Because in reality that's what happens when people try this in public matches. This is not the first time I've had to fight this advice. All the others UA-cam Guide makers admit, in order to for this strategy to work, you have to build 3-4 garrisons, at least 2 can be no more than 150 from the center of the point, and you HAVE to be able to defend those garrisons. If you can't do ALL of those things, it's best to just build the garrison just in or on the circle, keep supplies down on the opposite of the circle, and keep someone there that can replace the garrison if it goes down. Please don't feel like this is a personal attack on you. I've been fight against this one strategy since at least 2020. Most (Soul, Mono, Tactical, and Terry) admit this strategy has turned out to be a failure on public matches, but none are willing to change or amend their videos, because they don't want to lose the views.
When playing support, ask people to swap with you so you can get double supplies and then switch back. I do this for nodes with the engineer. Don't forget to drop your explosive ammo box and then have both you (as engineer) and the engineer place a lot of anti-personnel mines around the nodes.
@@alexanderbarrera9140I have tried doing that, I think my head gets 10 times bigger when I drive because all I receive are headshots. :) This works great if you can push them to the third and fourth point so you can stock supplies to the second so it can be built up with defenses. Problem I have is that I have to do it all, not many people like swinging a hammer in this game.
Best tip: stay away from groups of blueberries unless you want artillery dropped on your head over and over. Also stay I'm small groups of 2-3 in your squad and communicate, be different classes, and play to your strengths. Three men can make a huge difference if you play right
Great vid man great tips as well I've started to play a lot more passively recently reading the map as much as I can a lot of squad's don't like defending, so majority of the time my squad defends as much as we can and when there is an opening we jump on the attack as there's another squad defending now. Like I said great vid man hope to see you on the battlefield 🙏
Ps5 has a zoom glitch out right now. Go to ps5 settings accessibility then under display and sound at very top it says zoom enable that come back to game press square and home button at same time can see enemy 200+ meter out
I wish redeploy didn’t show up as Killed In Action. Is a small thing I know but psychologically I think it stops people utilising it as a genuine tactic
I’m new as well, but I think I can help you out this much-you don’t pick up supplies, but construct garrisons around them, I think the area is either 1 square or 4 squares around the supply box (really not sure about that one); as for enemy supplies, I think you can only destroy them, but someone please correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve only been playing the game for a week or two now
One of our heavy tanks was pushing the middle with us in a powerful offense. He had to back up and one of the crewmates jumped out to repair and died. I checked the map and the nearest garrison was over 100m out so i knew it would be a long time that the crewmate got baco and it was imperative they got their repairs. They were badly damaged and still getting hit. I shouted out to the nearest engineers that the tank needed repairs and they hopped right on it. The tank survived and we won the push. If you notice that there is a lack of communication between two parties, dont be afraid to bridge the communication gap, just don't be a patronizing jerk about it
One tip you really glossed over and didn't cover and i think should be number one since last year!!! Alt F4 and uninstall prior to playing. The glory days of this game are long gone. Give it up already.
It went through a rough patch a couple months back but I feel like they made the fixes and listened to the community enough to get this game back on track.

I agree! I've been able to get super close to the offensive points just by reading the map

Also have a slave boy drive you supplies back and forth nonstop to build up defenses.
