2 Snipers. Suit type doesn't matter.
2 profile-dampened Scouts. First spawn for each is a Dragonfly or Skinweave/Militia fitting with SMG/Pistol and a Drop Uplink. Afterwards, they can bring ARs or Shotguns at their discretion. The Uplink fittings can be swapped into again at any point where they're needed.
Each of the above should also be the Squad Leaders. Defend orders should be set on another member of the squad at all times, and squad actions should be controlled through voice chat.
Each now-3-man squad can operate from a vehicle. 1 HAV, 1 Dropship, 2 LAVs. Either the Dropship or HAV can be dropped from the team, any single non-HAV vehicle can be swapped out for a second HAV, and any vehicle(s) can be left behind if they aren't needed. The Dropship - if there is one - can drop the Snipers and the Uplink Scouts in appropriate positions before shifting to a combat/support role.
One LAV squad will be 2 Heavies (either 2 Forge Guns or 1 Forge and 1 HMG) and a Logistics Dropsuit. The Logi will need a Nanohive, and will need either Repair Tool or Nano Injector - they can bring both, but it isn't necessary. This squad is heavy support and the team's primary AV. At least 2 squad members should bring AV or Flux Grenades - preferably one of each.
The other 3 squads will have Assault/Logi/Scout fittings with at least 1 AR. The other two players can bring any non-Sniper Rifle weapon combination to either specialise the squad into a particular role or diversify and cover all the bases. 1 AR and a couple of Swarm Launchers (or 1 AR, 1 LR and 1 Swarm) can turn the squad into a full-on AV squad. A couple of Shotguns or a Shotgun/Mass Driver combo will make for a CQC-heavy squad. Dual Mass Drivers can fill the CQC role or provide indirect fire. Laser Rifles provide long-range anti-everything support, and any other combination of weapons allows the squad to fill multiple roles on the battlefield.
The non-Heavy squads can bring a maximum of 3 Heavy suits between them. These can be split among the squads in any pattern, including the possibility of creating a second Heavy squad. |
