you need - a commander, a side role mostly, must be able to predict battle flow and is responcable for calling out what objectives to push, where squads should spawn, and what is the priority at any givin moment. this is make or break. - dropship pilot with either amaar or minmatar logi suit with complex hacking modules in every low (uplinks manditory the rest is just nice - 2 tankers with flexability as far as turrets and both gunnlogi/madrugar
thats your command squad.
squad 1
- 2-3 heavys (amaar) -2 minmatar logis (uplink, nano, rep, needle) - 1-2 scouts either amaar (anti scout role), gallente (anti logi role) (uplinks a must)
squad 2
2-3 scouts caldari and gallente preefered uplinks a must 1 gallente logi the rest fill as per preferance
command squad does the primary communication as you have the FC and your dropship with the greatest innsight into the battle, the tankers need to communicate well with the fc and the dropship to counter other dropships and tanks, EVERYONE ELSE fills the needs of these 4 people.
squad 1 is a defencive squad, specilised in holding a point, used for entrenched defence or used in a switch to prolong a failing objective to buy time to use squad 2 in taking a different one. you need to be proactive in telling these guys what their primary objective is and if nessesary they ALL need to suicide for a hot swap on a freesh uplink on a newly ninjad base.
squad two is your attack squad, used in harrasement int hee event that you hold a winning number of objectives and used to capture new objectives when you need them. stealthy quick and very anti-scout it needs to be able to get in, kill off enamy uplinks, and place their own in a very short amount of time, used to create a position in wich squad 1 can inhabit.
squad one is also built so that you can split it into 2 squads to defend two closer together objectives, BUT only if they are still in range enough to suppport each other.
I don't think you need that specific. All you really need is a commander to orchestrate all three squads deployments and talkative and direct squad leaders who know how to carry out their role. There is no value in a squad leader who won't talk to tell you what they want done...... and as far orders your squad has to be open to following them without hesitation. E.G- Last deployment we did (probably at least 2-3 weeks ago) we ran squads with very simple goals. One would hammer flat the enemy's Home Point and the rest would either dig in deep at the central or outer capture points. After that we basically forced any team who went up against us to besiege where we'd deployed and basically try to grind down out significantly greater Amarrian EHP through attrition.
no you really do need something that specific.... take a look at top tier PC team strats and setups and yull see what i mean. they only deviate due to lack of availability, when its available they use this setup (except int he scase where they bring a specific player due to skill overcoming a lack of the right gear)

I give up! Someone help me out here! Tell me, OP, what's your weekly W/L? If it's above 2.00, I'll shut up right now. I'm sitting on an almost 4.00 W/L this week, and you know why? Because I always play in a squad! And I haven't even played FW this week! A couple weeks ago I played pretty much only FW all week. I had a 7.92 W/L by the end. It's not because I'm an amazing player, it's because I had a great squad to play with! Squadding = win, especially in FW. Until I see your name in Lucent Echelon, or you at least tell me that you've squadded, I really can't take you seriously.

To me it seems that Skirmish Matches might be too much for a lot of people to handle. For example the first match I played I got destroyed (3 kills and 6 deaths) and still came in second place. The combined kills on that match for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place was 11 and the combined kills for the remaining 12 members on my team was 3.
What are some good strategies for handling Factional Contracts? I am thinking of just picking an objective to hack and simply do what I can to hold it for the length of the match. I found that if I try to hack multiple objectives the enemy will just follow behind rehacking everything that I hack.
Also, I am only playing Galente Factional Contracts if that matters to any of you in terms of strategy. as much as i hate to say it.. the way to win FW is Proto suits and Queue Sync, Queue Sync, Queue Sync.

My weekly W/L ratio is a 1.27. That is playing nothing but Public Contracts with the exception of 6 Factional Contracts in which four of those 6 were wins. Without running in a squad I still have a positive W/L ratio. My weekly KDR is at 3.29. |

Please, for the love of God, just squad! Just once! FFS, I'll fckn pay you to stop soloing!
Also, W/L is way more important than K/D. I'm pleased to say that my weekly W/L is higher than my weekly K/D.
I'm telling you, if you run with a good squad in FW, you'll win like 9/10. Once again, it's not about you relying on squadmates, it's about replacing those idiotic blues that solo in... oh wait
You get into matches way faster with a squad too.

Sorry I have to politely disagree, a lot of ppl rage against solo blues
But that's not to say solo players don't have their place
If im running a sqd/sync I don't mind having solo blues around Just be mindful of whats goin on in the battle Check the team sheet in the warbarge, if theres 2 other squads u can just jump in an open slot if there is one Or just run solo, as long as ur not AFK I get that not everyone isn't up for squad play
Just be part of the battle

I agree a persons W/L ratio is more important than their KDR so long as the amount of WP earned in matches justifies the difference between the two.
Based on what I saw in this Factional Match I just played I will give squads a shot. The team I was in couldn't seem to hold a point for very long forcing me to whip out an LAV so I can speed across the map hacking objectives which led me to accidentally running into one of my teammates and killing him; I felt pretty bad about that. I let him kill me in return and gave him 350,000 ISK for compensation. |

Why would you try to play a game solo when it is clearly geared otherwise? And then blame the game...
Join a squad and use a mic so you can be actually helpful. There are plenty of solo roles any squad could use and there would be little to no difference on your end, except for helping others make WP and orbitals. Chances are they'll do the same for you for some strange reason.
If you just can't be bothered to talk to people, well...then don't. Call out scouts though plz.

Good ****! Since numbers are so important to you, why wouldn't you want to double or triple them with support?

I don't blame the game, I blame the players.
My big issue about me running with a squad is being expected to take orders from someone who for all I know is a dumbass. I have seen too much idiocy in this game with the people playing it to ever trust any command given to me by someone I don't know; I don't think I would trust most commands given to me by people I do know. I am not saying I would be completely insubordinate as a member of a squad but I am saying that their is no way I will blindly follow orders from someone.
Now I am a reasonable man and I know I am passing a lot of judgment on running with a squad when I have never even actually tried it so I am going to give it a shot to be fair.
And I will call out the Scouts for people. I am actually really good at spotting cloaked Scouts from far off distances. I like cloaked Scouts; they are easy kills for me since their armor and shield tend to be stupidly low.

I'm new to Factional so I will heed everyone's advice and give it a go with a squad. I am 7 months into this game and I have played Public Contracts solely until this past week when I decided to try out the Factional Warfare. |

Press Select or go to SocialChat. Each tab is a channel, you have Local, Corporation, and Squad as defaults. You can create any channel you like if you go down to the Add/Join tab. If you enter a name that has not been taken, it becomes a new channel. You can invite people in your Contacts by selecting the channel's tab and going down to Invite Player. To join a channel that already exists, simply spell it correctly and it will add it permanently as a tab.
You may type to chat to people by hitting [X]. To speak like a human being select the [Channel Name] tap Activate Voice. You may speak in any channel, in or out of game. You may activate voice in any channel, although few people use Local. In Factional Warfare almost everyone is using voice in the respective racial channel so as to communicate with multiple squads at once. If you like you can use push to talk to "walkie talkie" or just free conversation by toggling "Push to Talk" in the top right corner of the chat or in the settings. The button is LEFT [<--] on the D-pad.
Since you prefer Gallente Factional, join the channel Lucent Echelon as suggested by others. And activate voice!
Important: If you see no players in the channel, the channel might be too full (it contains Eve players too). There are dead channels, however, and make sure you didn't create a slightly misspelled version of the channel you were trying to join. Try pinging in by typing "x" or "LFS" (looking for squad). Or anything really, you are almost certain to get picked up.

It better not be some button I'll have to press constantly.

I am fairly sure it works anywhere save for a few loading screens. You just hold down the left [<--] D-pad button and talk at the same time. When you let go, you are effectively muted, hence the "walkie talkie". I sometimes prefer it when I have good squad leaders (they will have free voice on and you don't want to talk over them), or people who are specifically coordinating like pilots or logis, since I tend to ramble or yell at my screen. I think it is just good practice. This should be what corps train their scrubs to do...or just contain themselves I suppose.
Naturally you can't quite talk during a firefight unless you are in cover since you can't move.

Well, no one said FW was for solo players anyways. We all knew that as soon as FW was introduced. Besides, a full squad technically has priority over solo players when it comes to entering FW matches.

I just don't understand why it is so difficult for people to treat the entire team as a squad as opposed to just 5 or 6 people.
I also think that it is kind of pathetic that when I ask people what strategy they have for Factional Warfare the only response I receive is to join a squad. I don't see how joining a squad is a strategy; what the squad does in the match is what I see as a strategy.

Simply put, the squad is able to handle more than a single merc. Who's going to handle the scout flanking you this instant? Help with the Sentinel in your doorstep? Rep you after an assault?
And since the enemy team is often running full coordinated squads, why not save yourself the in-match hassle just by rallying people and having the right approach in mind? This is a game, there's no point really in proving "skill" other than to get a pat on the back. Take your underdog troll/lol fits to pubs. FW is serious.
Enjoy the moment.

You are thinking of tactics. There's a lot of those too, but unless its a really good game most people don't try THAT hard. I mean, if you are a logi, put down some uplinks, support your squad etc. If you feel like killing some then do it I guess...then cap the points and win the game.
There are a lot of viable tactics in this game for different situations so I'm not sure what to list to win a FW game.
Strategy is overall plan. You know, like organize people into squads...

Just que up every 20 min and turn your controller on its face while playing computer games. Que syncing is pretty much required, but normal people don't have the time for it I spent 6 hours yesterday and got 6 que syncs might as well just bot it out it would be faster.

I have wins and good games playing Gallente factional solo all the time. These people and their obsession with squads...let them be. its like you said; If they are in a squad, its because they tried to do what you do and gave up because it was too hard. Now they resent the fact you can walk solo whears they fall without 5 other people propping them up. |

Well, no one said FW was for solo players anyways. We all knew that as soon as FW was introduced. Besides, a full squad technically has priority over solo players when it comes to entering FW matches. I just don't understand why it is so difficult for people to treat the entire team as a squad as opposed to just 5 or 6 people. I also think that it is kind of pathetic that when I ask people what strategy they have for Factional Warfare the only response I receive is to join a squad. I don't see how joining a squad is a strategy; what the squad does in the match is what I see as a strategy.
A squad gives you orbital advantage especially if you happen to have an Eve player backing you up and I occasionally do see eve players overhead in a few FW matches. Another advantage is being able to share passive scans for the rest of the squad if you're a scout. Although I'm not sure if that will still be the case after 1.10 is live. There is also communications since it's not likely that anyone would hear you on team chat.
Strategy is something that is developed on the fly depending on the map and who the opposing team consists of so your best bet is assembling a good squad or at least encouraging some unit cohesion within the squad so you can have a fighting chance. Sharing intel is especially critical because your squad will need to know what's happening around them as they might be too busy dealing with one situation to notice a new situation developing.

If the only aspect of a strategy people can come up with is to join a squad then things don't look to promising to me.
Let me give you an example I witnessed today of a squad on my team in a Factional Warfare match who failed miserably because they did not have an actual strategy. I accidentally ran into a guy on my team with an LAV and killed him (I'm still getting used to being able to inflict damage on my own teammates). This guy was not too happy about that. That guy was on a four man squad and he rallied his squad to come after me. The squad met up with me as I was hacking an objective and began firing at me. I dismissed them firing at me and continued hacking the objective. After hacking the objective I immediately went to flank a redline sniper so I can put an end to his bullshit. The entire time I am flanking the sniper this squad is continuing to fire at me from close to mid range yet they were still unable to do any real damage to me. After I took out the redline sniper I ran right up to the guy I accidentally killed, whose entire squad is still trying to kill me, so that he can get his revenge kill on me (the way I see it I completed my objectives for that little area of the map so I figured I will let this guy have his revenge). Only after I ran up and stood 3 feet in front of the guy without moving an inch was this guy and his squad able to take me out. If that squad had strategized their individual skill sets appropriately they should have been able to take me out without me having to run right up to them and allowing them to kill me.
