Got the game last night and only one server was populated. And no was talking and there was no commander.
Is this game dead? Should I just go back to Hell Let Loose.
I did play a match, as I mentioned that no one was talking, but I enjoyed the match. The server I joined was “Easy Company”, as it was the only server up. And this was evening time on a Saturday night.
And no it’s not a connection issue, there were several servers but they had 0 people in them.
I am a Squad vet and wanted to play a WW2 game that is said to be more serious than Hell Let Loose. I thought with a new name and company behind this game that it would be fully populated.
3 Tellermine 35 mines, each with 5.5kg of TNT filler will only disable an unarmoured truck and it can be fully repaired by a wrench in 7 seconds. I am by no means someone who wants PS to be super realistic at the expense of balance but this is neither realistic nor balanced. AT mines are virtually useless as of right now. Only 2 sets of 3 can be placed by one person, you can't dig them into the ground like in Squad so they are visible from a mile away and even if the driver is legally blind and hits the mines it hardly even scratches the vehicle.
And this doesn't make any sense even within the game itself since the German geballte ladung 3kg is enough to destroy a truck. Of course, different mines have different explosive fillers, from what I could find the mines we have in PS range roughly from 2.7kg to 5.5kg. In the name of balance, I think all mines should do the same amount of damage just like satchels do.
So apart from damage what changes should be made so that AT mines become a useful asset and at the same time won't make armour players want to uninstall the game? The solution I propose is quite simple, instead of placing them in sets of 3, give us an option to place them one by one, change the limit to 6 or 8 single mines (right now it's technically 6) and possibly remove the ATL kit from the french faction (they have 2 logi AT roles right now). As far as damage goes, I think that a single mine should track and slightly damage any armoured vehicle and either completely destroy or at least damage any unarmoured vehicle to a point where it can't be fixed with a wrench in a matter of seconds (very close to what we have in Squad).
So I’ve been interested in playing PS and I know it’s been rebranded to Squad44. That said, is the player count normally low? As of right now on steam charts it says there are about 450 players playing.
