Most important squad role debate.

Yeah but then it's still not a support weapon.....

Well Im more milsim oriented so a m4 with a box mag is a bit ridiculous to me. I still think you can get more range, equal rof , and more firepower than I rifleman.

I didnt say you would. Im just sayin lol

Yeah but the rifleman handles the crap.

Notice the title, which specifies squad role, meaning the individual players that make up the squad. Although the squad must work as a team to reach the ultimate goal of winning, that's not what the question entitles. Imagine you took the basic squad roles - sniper, scout, support gunner, rifleman, and designated marksman - and put one of each with equal skill level in their specific field of combat, into an Airsoft match, who do you think would become the victor over the others? Saying that the squad plays the most important role, in the squad, is illogical and doesn't make sense whatsoever. When the players fulfilling the squad roles come together as one squad, fighting on the same team however, they are all equally important in the sense that when they work together all of their disadvantages are covered by another's advantages. Like mentioned earlier, when separated, they no longer are covered by a team mates skill set as that specific role.

Therefore, your argument is invalid, BNB

Hope that wasn't to hard to follow, it's midnight and I am tired :/ .

Your argument that the squad plays the most important role in the squad, is invalid. If you were correct, you could say "the most important part of the human body is the entire body" . Yes in order to function properly, like a "well oiled machine" you need all parts of the body. But you can survive without an arm or a leg, couldn't you? However, I have never heard about someone who lived without a functioning heart or brain.

It is a different with a squad though, because you could have all the average roles except lets say, a sniper. Yes you can still function and win as a squad, that's why I posted the part about pitching them all against each other - with EQUAL SKILL LEVEL IN THEIR SPECIFIC FIELD OF COMBAT - I think that's what the title of this thread should have been called, "Which squad role do you think would win if they all have equal skill levels and they all have a complete personalized loadout which they can use effectively?" .

Yes I get what you mean, and honestly part of the reason I challenged your argument was just to give you a hard time for taking the question out of context .

Which is also why I said what the title of this thread should be, as "most important squad role debate" is waaaaaaaaaay to vague.
