POW /UNARMED Suggestion
Hello,
With recent videos of POWs in Ukraine... How about this idea.
If an opposing team medic or SL revives an enemy combatant they automatically respawn at the opposing team spawn point and can't leave it. Similar mechanism could be implemented for the unarmed faction.
This way it would promote taking them as POW rather than just killing them. I see the downsides of this but it can also add a level of complexity to SQ.
Thank you

Re: Only video output stops mid game
Rolled back to a much older driver (with DDU) and now it seems to work. Still not a clue what happend.
Helicopter flight model
Is there any plan on reverting or improving the flight model?
The 2.0 flight model changes rendered helicopters mostly useless. 90% of games I play the helicopters are either not used, crash enroute, or are shot down when attempting to land or hover. Most players would rather run 10 minutes than jump in a helicopter.
Re: Disable SL ability to kick players for illegitimate reasons.
The system is fine as it is. You can vote for commander. That's enough.
I can already see what would happen if a vote-to-kick system were implemented. If an SL doesn't want a particular person in his squad, he would just leave and start a new one until the offending player got the hint. This would be a waste of time.
Complain to the server host and lose all the good SLs? No SLs on a server = dead server.
Someone said that SLs are like any other role in the squad? What? Squad LEADERS are LEADERS. There is no "medic leader" or "rifleman leader". There is just one Squad Leader. A vastly different role than all the rest.
The only reason this game is fun is because of the squad leaders. It would be a poop show if everything were run by a voting system.
My suggestion would be to try squad leading. Or, ask the SL when you join if it's okay if you grab a specific kit. If he would prefer you take a different one, you can either leave that squad for another or just be a good teammate and do what your SL asks.
If you get dropped from the squad in the middle of the map, open the console and type "RESPAWN". Problem solved.
It seems like all of the frustrations that some of you have can be resolved by taking action yourself. No need to force others to take action on your behalf.

Squad Update v2.14 Release Notes
Greetings Squaddies,
With the v2.14 Update we wanted to focus on returning Squad to a more regular update cadence, with smaller updates. While we still have larger content updates on the horizon, we want to keep a steady stream of improvements and refinements coming to Squad.
A notable change in v2.14 is adjustments to the construction point cost of some deployable fortifications. The main focus however is on bug fixes both to the game and to specific maps. The Squad team is continuing to look for ways to improve the game’s performance, but that was not a focus for v2.14 and no specific performance updates are included in the release.
Please continue to provide your feedback on Squad, and all of v2.14’s changes this thread.
Squad v2.14 will be released on Wednesday, March 2nd at 19:00 UTC.
Changelog
System & Gameplay Updates
- Added a BTR80 APC variant for the INS faction with Insurgent desert camo scheme. This vehicle for now has been added to one map layer: CAF Al Basrah Invasion v3.
- Updated Razor Wire to now prevent vaulting over the posts without taking damage. Also added a lower roll of razor wire to the half built state. This allows for razor wire to be hidden in tall grass to help slow down/damage/funnel advancing enemy infantry. Note: Combat Engineer Kit Role inventory placed razor wire does not yet reflect this change.
- Adjusted the construction point cost of several deployable fortifications:
- Razor wire: 25 to 20
- Sandbag Wall: 50 to 40
- Sandbag Wall with Murderhole: 50 to 40
- Sandbag Crescent Wall: 50 to 40
- HASCO Wall: 400 to 300
- HASCO Bunker: 300 to 250
- HASCO HMG Bunker: 450 to 350
