When in my squad, and we are not doing "FWD OPS" tactics,

there are only 2 rules,

1.Never request the sniper kit,
2.Never spawn as Spec Ops *

* is you get the kit after you spawned then you are a uber 1337 spec ops with body armor

My makeup.

One Fine Officer...Five Good Men.

I'm usually a bit liberal with kits, and only choose to assign kits when the situation demands it. I don't mind a sniper in the squad only if they follow orders and position themselves where I need them. Otherwise it's a kick out of the squad. But overall, as long as our objectives are accomplished, it doesn't matter how we do it, just so long as it gets done.

I think snipers have a place in the game right, but, the way I usually operate my squad is as a front line blitzkrieg squad, so it's extremely rare for a sniper to be of use to my squad, unless we're up against a specific situation.

I don't mind if my squaddies spawn as spec ops, but only if we're in a close range fight. So, for example, we have an APC parked near an urban flag, well, if I have my rally down already, even I spawn as SpecOp, because it just owns so hard in close range battles. Then when we're on to further range battles, I never pick specop because it doesn't have the zoom capability of the rifleman.

besides you get a better rate of fire with 4 rifleman alive and one medic than 5 riflemen having to respawn all the time due to death and bleeding out so unable to fire as accuratly

Yeah they are a bit but against rifle men in most situations they lose. Plus in long& mid range scope battles there just no room to treat the wounded and in those situations Medic's useless. And like tub said the medic usually get killed trying to revive or heal so you lose two men instead of one. Some thing need to be done med is just to **** at the moment. And don’t try and argue with me people like you did last time I stated the obvious or ill deck yu.

i have 2 rules in my squads. No Sniper or marksmen, H-AT. If it is needed we will get it but otherwise no. I mostly carry officer and let the rest choose wheat they like but they must stay with the squad.

i like SF in urban maps , 1 or 2 men to take point , good CQB weapon.

i normally let people be what they want . they are *normally* sensible to see what others are and adjust accordingly

if im runing an Inf squad i tend to set up my squad as this but if i need to make changes ill make them other wise its an kick

1x SL
2x Riflemen
1X medic
1X L-at/AA
1X Support

1X sniper = kick

oh for Insurgent
its like this "must have mic on all of the civs"

2X civs "with bikes"
2X Ambusher "with C4"
2X Insurgent "ammo" or one get the AA kit
i have my ambushers sit back after and turn the bikes into bike booms. the civs drive the bikes out to the brits. "throw rock what even to get the brits over to them or just pull up the the APC and give the word. ambusher blows the C4. and insurgent give ammo to the ambusher so they can to it all over again and protect the ambusher from the brits.
i find this set up with the insurgents realy good
