Squad Plus is designed for players who appreciate the fine-tuning of gameplay elements, offering an experience that feels fresh but grounded in the core mechanics you already know and love.

• Subtle Adjustments: We focus on small but impactful changes to roles, kits, and faction setups, ensuring that gameplay remains balanced while offering new tactical possibilities.
  
• Expanded Deployables: With additions like the Fortified HAB and Helipad, Squad Plus brings more depth to fortifications and forward base setups, giving players additional strategic options.
  
• Carefully Planned Vehicle Modifications: While major vehicle changes aren’t the focus, Squad Plus includes subtle improvements such as CAS system tweaks. Larger vehicle adjustments may be introduced over time but will be carefully planned to fit within the broader goals of the mod.
  
• Quality of Life Improvements: We’re committed to fixing bugs and refining existing systems. Ongoing fixes, including animation issues and heli bugs, are part of the plan to ensure a smoother experience.

In Squad Plus [Alpha v4], we’ve introduced a series of backend updates and fixes that lay the groundwork for more player-facing features in future releases:

• Fixes & Stability Improvements: Additional animations and missing statics have been addressed, along with soft fixes for the AP mines and UH-1Y CAS heli.
  
• Layer Adjustments: Several layers have received fixes, and WMPC has been added to more layers. This integration is still ongoing as tweaks are made to units and layers.
  
• Operation First Light Stability: Layers for Operation First Light should now be functional and no longer cause game crashes.
  
• Bot Enhancements: Small changes have been made to improve bot behavior.
  
• MSV Implementation (In Progress): MSVs (Multi-Stage Vehicles) for each faction are halfway through their backend implementation, setting the stage for their inclusion in a future update.
  
• UI & Gamemode Updates: Core changes to the UI and gamemode framework have been completed, paving the way for new features and UI changes.
  
• Shared VOIP Testing: Soft implementation of a shared VOIP system has been introduced, allowing enemy players within a 25-meter range to hear your voice comms. This feature is experimental and will be refined based on testing and feedback, with plans to make it toggleable via keybind and limit the range to maintain team cohesion.

At this time, two maps have been introduced and referenced. To access these layers, you will need to install the relevant mods.

• Wil’s Fools Road: A rich, atmospheric map that has been updated and fine-tuned for Squad Plus. This classic Squad map brings challenging terrain and tactical opportunities, seamlessly blending into the broader mod.

Both maps have been implemented as reference layers within Squad Plus, meaning you’ll need to have the respective map mods installed for full functionality. These integrations bring beloved Squad experiences into the enhanced framework of the mod.

We have exciting plans for Squad Plus moving forward:

• Further Balancing & Tweaks: We’ll continue refining roles, kits, and deployables to keep gameplay balanced and engaging.
  
• Deployables Expansion: Additional deployables will roll out over time, further enhancing the way players defend and control the battlefield.
  
• Possible Vehicle Updates: Expect subtle, targeted vehicle improvements—such as CAS tweaks—with the potential for further updates in the future, though any major changes will be introduced carefully and gradually.
