A Guide to Squadron Battles!

[PentaStealz 72]

GMs have known about the glitch for a while now, so they obviously don't care or they just don't have time to fix it... either way it's sad they haven't taken care of this. Or maybe they just don't want to piss off their Russian player base.

LED is going to be forced to glitch if we want to earn eagles.. I haven't decided yet if we will.

Also, you only need 20 players with 1500 points to have 30k. Anyone below 20 will count for 15% of theur points if they have 1500, or 5% if they have less than 1500. Also, if you win against top teams then you can go past 1550, you get 10 to 20 pts per win, but when you lose you'll lose 30.

Are squadron battles broken? We tried to have a squadron battle, but both squads just sit in the que and cant get in...we did air units only and couldnt get in? everyone would like to have our points awarded when we do have scrimmages, but this stuff has to work? any suggestions or is the squadron battles just broken besides the que bug?

The first post in this thread literally has every piece of information you might need. If you can't figure out how to participate in Squadron Battles after reading the first post carefully, there is nothing I can do to help you.

30min of waiting and no battle.... 300ppl in queue ;/

[Grim_Brit 39]

brits have tried several times now with the correct amount of players plus spares,we followed the guidelines and waited,waited and yes waited..several teams came and went and yet again no joy!!

we will keep trying but is there any hints tips to actually getting into a battle as it really is doing my head in now??

[Ssijmisake 728]

Guys, SqBattles are fine and dandy. We've fought yesterday and after getting full squad in queue, we didn't wait more than 5 sek.

[PentaStealz 72]

Make sure you are not in a squad (not squadron) before you queue, also queue on one server, not multiple servers

 

If you need any help just message me in game, Shrap is in the hospital right now and cannot provide more help, so just message me in game and I will walk you through

Am i right in saying, If 2 Squadrens of 4 join a Que they can be teamed together to make the correct number to face another Squadren?

Make sure you read my sticky post about tips/tactics for squadron battles.

Getting a match depends on match maker, they try not to put new teams and against experienced teams. 

If there are other teams at 16 and you are not getting a game then you may not be queued up properly or queued on multiple servers.

You can always mark two most popular servers, Eu an Ru. It will let you to participate in queue on both servers in the same time.

Premium Planes & Tanks also allowed?

Yes all tier I - IV allowed. 

[SHID_MY_JORTS 1,863]

Also, the topic is way too outdated, interface & gameplay wise.

Watched the video between LED and PUMA. This being a "guide", the first thing that happens from the start is the Yak-9t pancakes  into the ground while diving on a target xDXDXD You AB players do the darnest things XD.

Nice Guide Shrap :) thanx heaps for putting this together, hopefully it will make the task of joining a Squadron Battle a little less confusing and daunting for up and coming Squadron!

Moderators I second this for a Sticky

If you are interested in seeing a Squadron battle this link is a Youtube Video of RWB vs. Titan in a Squadron Battle. For the record all Labeled names are only there due to War Thunder's replay program. These names and tags will not appear for any Enemy and only for allies that are less than 1km away from your position.

Hi, I have just read all of this info. The pic's were not visible , so I still cannot get to find what I want. I need to know where we have to go to actually get into squadron battle mode. I have looked everywhere I can think of , still no luck. Can someone please give me the info on where our squadron needs to look to enter battles? If needed for reply, email, [email protected]

Also, if you happen to know, What time zone for the battles does Australia come under?

Please be explicit with directions as I am not  very good with computer knowledge.

Many thanks , in anticipation of a reply
