Plus, apparently if we join a squad, we are automatically imbued with magical fantastical powers that will allow us to take on anyone regardless of our respective skill levels, lifetime SP, or actual effort at teamwork.
TL;DR Squading supposedly solves everything.
Squading provides zero benefits if you don't actually work together.
I've seen people squad up and then all run solo without helping each other.
You all pretty much have to have mics, and all communicate effectively.
Otherwise, its no different than running solo. You just get orbitals out of it.

I once got a 2.0 K/D using nothing but Defibrilators and Smoke grenade launchers in BF3.
Then again, I had a whole clan running with me, and we were pretty badass.
But no, for the most part, it doesn't.

You just get orbitals out of it. Not true. The main purpose in squadding is to ensure that you have people on your team who are better than the average blueberry. For example, if you had 16 solo ace players on one team, and 16 berries all in squads of 6-6-4 on the other, the team with 16 solo ace players would win, even if the berries are using mics. IMO, the result of a battle is mainly down to player skill, not communication and teamwork. Mics are also overrated. It's who you have in your squad that matters, not how you communicate.
That is a bad example Dreis.
Everyone knows that if you take 16 godly players, mute them all and have them go against a pack full of newberries with mics, you will watch the newberries get stomped.
There IS a sweet spot between skill and communication.
At the end of the day, 6 decent players running solo in a squad will get trashed by 6 decent players running together in a squad.
That is the point I'm trying to make. You might do better individually do to the better raw slaying power on the field, but you will most likely get stomped by another squad that actually knows how to work and communicate effectively.
