Logistic section (4 slots):
The support squad! by excellence, it gets 2 logistic trucks to support its team in her actions, have the one of two trucks refilling at main base at all time, so you always have one on the objective to build with. Try not to lose any logistic truck to the enemy as they're your main weapon and don't go fighting the enemy directly, it's not your job.
Attacking :
- You have to build FOB's (Forward Operation Base) to provide a spawn location to your team, as rally point, you have to hide it in a forest or a building, the logistic SL can set it up by having a more than half full construction truck neaby (T button then Building then FOB)
- You have to build mortar pits to support your team, ask the other squadleaders where they could need mortar support and support your infantry. Reminder, you get up to 2 free mortars close to each FOB you build.
- You have to build repair stations. This is essential to the armored section giving it the ability to repair their vehicles close to the frontline.
Defending :
- You have to build defense fortifications on the objective to defend to provide cover to your team. You have plenty tools to achieve this as sandbags, barbed wire, stationary machine guns, barricades and hedgehogs to make your team’s job of defending easier. If you're happy of your fortification. Think of what you could do more, there is always something to do.
- You have to build ammo crates for your team on each objective. It's very important for MG/AT/MOTAR/SAPPER.
Great video to understand the job "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64PJFDDUvmI&feature=youtu.be"
Armored section (4 slots):
The tank support squad, you get heavy tanks and light tanks at your disposal.
Your job is to provide support to your infantry. Coordinate with infantry squad leaders to help them providing cover with your tank and suppressing the enemy.
Stay at range, especially if you know and enemy tank is nearby, wait to shot until you get a good angle as the armor thickness and the shell angle matter in the game. Prefers to have a fully crewed tank (4 players) than split up your squad in two vehicles. Tank MG's are as deadly as the main gun.
If you sustained any damage in battle, don't hesitate to go in a repair station or to ask for one at your logistic section.
