That was great fun to watch, so many players all having a crack. I've watched a lot of Vade, and he's so freaking good at vaping his enemies, it's given me a skewed view of how the game might play out for normal people, and from a grand overview perspective. Anyway, great video, thanks, now subscribed. Gus
Thanks for producing an excellent vid; for once an unusual choice of forces and period. I've never seen early WWII French forces and those Renault tanks (I think correct me if I'm wrong). Enjoyable.
@@GeneralShiba_ The surprising thing in this battle is how effective those Renault tanks are in battle. I've always assumed they were outdated pieces of crap but they kick ass here. Lends credence to the theory that the French Army was betrayed from within; WWII wasn't so much between nations as it was between ideologies, like the Spanish Civil War. Maybe we could have Squad battles between Republicans and Royalist factions! Now wouldn't that be amazing.
@@Ferocious_Imbecile It's not a theory, the french communist party was following the Molotov - Ribbentrop pact (german - soviet pact), so before and during the war they organized strikes in factories, sabotaged ammo, weapons, and vehicles. You could also argue that the military hierarchy and the politicians were either corrupt, blinded by arrogance, or mentally impaired. It was decided that tanks didn't need radios, that tank divisions was not a good idea, and that combined arms was not a worthy strategy. To put in perspective you must know that in 1932 De Gaulle (who was then a captain) argued in his book "Le Fil de l'épée" (The Edge of the Sword) that France needed tank divisions to do what blitzkrieg came to be. A lot of people knew that our military was deeply flawed, but as always, politics got in the way.

@@aiugiamos3057 the TC has access to command, squad an Proximity chat. Rest of the squad only has access to squad and proximity chat. If someone isn’t in their squad they have to get close enough for proximity chat. :) in the realism event you have to have a radio and be a commander to access command chat and there’s no squad chat so it’s all proximity. :)
imagine if they could add a strategic persistence layer to make it part of an actual war like in foxhole, but maybe with scheduled battles instead of a free flow
Apologies mate, I have turned up my voice on the next one, my settings got reset and it took me a minute to find a good balance again. I thought I had it when I recorded the last 2 which were better but still quiet. The next one you should be able to hear me super clearly! 👍
Nice. Sometimes i want to purchase squad, but then reminds of low player count. And no russian speaking servers, and low amount of english speaking servers. More of them are german
@@schai3r I don’t have a trouble finding a full English speaking server, only been a few times I haven’t been able to if I’m honest. Should give it a go next time it’s on special!
Did you have a favourite moment?
This game demonstrates what many games are missing today -> Really impressive sound design.
I agree, it really ups the immersion 👌
@@GeneralShiba_ The sound is amazing. It makes it more immersive than games with better graphics.
@@MichaelCorryFilms definitely!
@@MichaelCorryFilms what about compared to hell let loose?
@@dracoboomin6511 HLL doesn't even compare to s44 in my opinion
I love how realistic the tank assault is, tanks slowly shoot and advance , supporting the attacking infantry , there was no rush .
This is just cinematic in so many moments, nice content. Keep it up, like the from Above perspective.
Cheers mate, appreciate it!
It's crazy, it looks like a movie. Amazing! Thanks for the video 👍
Cheers mate, glad you liked the video!

I wrote this out and my phone died mid may through so I’m writing from memory 💀
The Germans in 1940 would have fielded mainly
Panzer I ( machine gun )
Panzer II ( 20mm autocannon )
While they had these they where in very small numbers compared to the panzer I & II
Panzer III ( tank on tank 50mm )
Panzer IV ( 75mm infantry support )
Panzerjager I
Captured vehicles from countries invaded from prior to 1940 very small amount
Czech Panzer 35(t)
Crech panzer 38(t)
Some others I’m sure
French tanks where often better than their German counterparts however how they where used ( doctrine ) and their design ( many did not possess radios unlike many German tanks ) where the reason the French lost so many soldiers and tanks
The French and many other countries after the First World War prepared for another war with trenches, massed artillery and stalemates.

@@Ferocious_Imbecile Renault B1 weren't outdated in 1940 , they were the most heavily armored and guned tank of the time .
This game, when teams play and communicate is brilliant. Sound is ace as well. Looking forward to the Pacific update 🔥
Agreed man! 👌
I'm very tempted to get this game. I've played RO RO2 FH2 RS2 . I think this is my next shooter to get into!
Great video!😊
@@mr_ako662 thanks mate!
Better than band of brothers! Very nice video!
he's gone full john wick
He was going off 😂
In this game : "what if France had comms in their tanks?"
Or is it realistic? Can tank crews communicate with infantry/squads/other crews?

b1 tanks did had comms btw
@@AmosTrask29 I didn’t know they had radios, appreciate the info!

They do op44 events that are sort of like that, you should check them out!
I had a 70 kill game with commander on this server last week. Sad you missed it 😢
I think you need to turn your mic up a little and the game audio down a little. It kinda hard to hear you.

" Char " is pronounced " Shar ". French is funny like that. Good video :)))
True, my bad. 😂
Thanks mate. 👌
d00d.. we should slide into admin cam TOGETHER.. you film one side, I film the other.. and then come together to make a frickin MOVIE! :D
The tank combat would look pretty epic switching from both angles 👌😂 I'd be keen to see what we can create ✌
What’s the game called is it pc or Xbox?
It’s called Squad 44, it’s only on PC :)
@ thanks I’ll see if my laptop is up to it !
Everytime I play tank the panzers have laser focus and I get harassed non stop by AT 💀
Yeah it does get like that I feel your pain
Wtf is „panther four”?
I assume I meant to say Panzer 4 and either I mispronounced it or you heard me wrong because theres no such thing as a Panther 4 😂
nice vid, but when you talk over the ingame voices you really need to dial up your mic
Thanks mate, I have on the next video! 👌
