Squad 44: Letters From The Front

Squad 44: Letters From The Front (formerly known as Post Scriptum) is a large scale, WWII-set first person tactical shooter developed by UK-based Periscope Games as an offshoot of Squad and is published and later developed by Squad's developer, Offworld Industries. The project began in March 2016 and officially released on Steam Early Access on August 9th, 2018. It initially released as Post Scriptum: The Bloody Seventh as first released chapter of the game focused on the engagement of the British 1st Airborne Division against German Wehrmacht and SS units during Operation Market Garden in 1944. It was further expanded to include engagements that involved American airborne units. Later chapters, Plan Juane (depicting the Manstein Plan (Fall Gelb) battle between the French Army and Wehrmacht in 1940), Day of Days (the landings of Allied forces in Normandy during Operation Overlord), Mercury (the Invasion of Crete in 1941 with defending ANZAC forces), and Watch On The Rhine (the Ardennes Offensive in 1944) expanded the fronts throughout WWII. With the rebranding to Squad 44, the game also depicts the battle of Rethymno, the second part of the Invasion of Crete.
As with its parent game, Squad 44 is a multiplayer-only game focused on teamwork and cooperation, featuring combined arms gameplay and highly realistic, detailed weaponry. It has numerous factions depending on the setting of a match, and asymmetrical gameplay and classes between the Allied units and Axis forces.
__TOC__
=Overview=
Squad 44 portrays historical engagements of Allies and Axis forces across mainland Europe and Asia in 1940 to 1945. The early era of the game's second chapter depicts the French Army's 21 Regiment d'Infanterie engagement of the Wehrmacht during the Fall Gelb operation. The later '44-set levels are from the first and third chapters and portray the Allied Operations of Market Garden and Overlord, respectively. Operation Market Garden features the British 1st Airborne Division, the Polish Brigade, and the American 82nd Airborne infantry forces supported by Britain's XXX Corps armor against a more developed Wehrmacht and 9.SS-Panzer Division. The Normandy battles of Operation Overlord include American 4th Infantry Division, the 101st Airborne, and the 70th Tank Battalion versus the Wehrmacht's 91st Infantry Division and the 6 Fallschirmjägerregiment.
The Squad system from the parent game has been developed for a faction to have three separate sections for its units - the Infantry Section encompasses most of the regular classes. The Logistics Section takes over the FOB/Construction roles from Squad and has regular riflemen, an NCO, medic, and Combat Engineers. The last section is the Armored Section and incorporates tank commanders and tankers into their various fighting vehicles.
The general classes of Squad 44 are:
* Officer - technically its own "Platoon Commander" section, the Officer role assumes the top of the team's chain of command. The class is meant to be paired with the Infantry Section's Radioman to call in air and artillery support. Officers can opt for a standard rifle or SMG; the latter is the sole option for the Germans. 
* NCO - The head class of each Infantry and Logistic squad, and the intermediary between them and the Platoon Commander. NCOs have either the standard rifle or SMG for their faction, and in the case of the 1944 Germans, the Gruppenführer has exclusive use of the StG 44.
* Radioman - An Infantry class meant to directly follow the Officer and allow the use of indirect fire support. The latewar kits have the Gewehr 41 for the Funker, and the M1/M1A1 Carbine for Allied units. The early war variants use standard Kar98ks and MAS-36s.
* Rifleman - Bog-standard Infantry and Logistics personnel that use each faction's standard service rifle, in addition to frag and smoke grenades. Latewar Allied units have sidearms and the French Fusiliers and Recrues only use their older WWI-era rifles. Infantry also bear sandbags, while the Logistics have repair tools.
* Machine Gunner - the specialized automatic rifleman Infantry kit. Depending on the faction and era, some have Light Machine Guns that offer more mobility and unsupported aiming, while the Medium Machine Guns have to be deployed on bipods to be aimed effectively but have increased ammunition counts. Sidearms, frag, and smoke grenades are included. 
* Marksman - Low-count Infantry kit that is issued a scoped bolt-action rifle, a pistol, grenades, and binoculars. 
* Medic - Generally given a standard rifle, sidearm, grenades, and a Morphine injector as its main tool to resuscitate fallen allies. Available to both Infantry and Logistics, the latter has the repair tool.
* Grenadier - Infantry-exclusive kit equipped with Rifle Grenade Launchers and regular hand grenades. Available to all factions except the French; the German Schiessbecher is not available in that era as a balance measure.
* Sapper - Infantry class given SMGs and pistols, and explosives for dealing with enemy vehicles and emplacements. 
* Anti-Tank - Generally dived into Light (LAT) and Heavy (HAT) variations. All bear rifles; the Germans use the Panzerfaust and the Panzerschreck respectively. The British only have a LAT role equipped with the PIAT; the Americans' Bazooka role is a HAT. The latewar Allies have pistol sidearms. A subvariation is also present in the early 1940 era with Fusilier antichar and Panzerabwehrschütze AT Rifle kits, as these battles predate the widespread use of handheld rocket launchers.
* Light Mortar - Equipped with a regular rifle, pistol, and a Light Mortar that can be used in the prone position. The class is in all Infantry Sections except the US Forces. 
* Combat Engineer - The principal kit of Logistics Sections for constructing emplacements. Generally has three variations - HE that uses an explosive similar to Sappers, AT carries antivehicle mines, and AP has antipersonnel mines. Issued with regular rifles, pistols, grenades, sandbags, E-tools, and repair wrenches. 
* Tank Commander - Head kit of Armored Sections, equipped with both a SMG and sidearm. Both this and its subordinate kit have repair tools.
* Tank Crew - Armored vehicle operator, only given a sidearm and grenades, and also has the building tool.
The high degree of weapon functionality is shared from Squad. The game tracks reserve ammunition by individual magazines, fire selectors have an animation where applicable, and many long arms have sights that can be zeroed or dialed in with correspondingly accurate adjustments made to the actual rear sights. For the sake of simplicity and consistency, all weapons zero by meters (British and American systems typically used imperial yards in reality during WWII).
=Pistols=
==Browning Hi-Power==
The Browning Hi-Power P35 was introduced into the game with the April 2024 Operation Clean Sweep update, exclusively to the 1st Airborne British forces for the Radioman class. It is also available for the German faction as the "Pistole 640(b)". Both versions can be differentiated by the grips, with the Pistole 640(b) featuring brown grips with a "23" mark while the British FN pistols using darker grips.
==FN Model 1922==
The FN Model 1922 appears as a pistol for Royal Hellenic Army of Greece, featured in the NCO and Officer classes of both infantry and logistics sections. It is known as the "FN 1922" in-game.
==Luger P08==
The Luger P08 is issued to the officer/NCO ranked classes for all German units, alongside with other German sidearms.
=== Artillery Model ===
Added in the 2024 December update, Squad 44 was updated to include various weapons from its WWI offshoot Beyond The Wire, which are of direct ports of that game's weapons only available in the Subway Range Museum added concurrently in the update. One such weapon that was ported is the Luger P08 Artillery Model along with its two variants, known in-game as the "Lange Pistole 08".
==M1911A1==
The American forces have M1911A1 pistols issued to most classes, with the exception of the Tank Crew and Tank Commander of the armor section classes.

The Mauser C96 is issued in place of the Walther P38 for Wehrmacht kits (except for the Sanitäter/Medic of the logistics section) in the 1940 levels. Regardless of how many bullets the player fires, it will always be partially loaded with 5 rounds; even if the player fires 9 rounds and "ejects" the last round during the non-empty reload.
Another weapon that was ported from the 2024 December update is the Mauser C96 with its stock, known in-game as the "Mauser C96 'Trenchbroom'" in the HUD and the "C96 Broomhandle" in the Subway Range Museum. As with the normal version, the stock version will always be loaded with 5 rounds on partial reload.

==Nambu Type 94==
As with the above Type 14, the Nambu Type 94 was added in the December 2024 update, for similar reasons. Both wood and black plastic grip variations of the pistol can be seen in the Subway Range Museum, but the wood grip verion can only be equipped.

Most of the specialized German kits have the standard Walther P38 pistol as their sidearm in the 1944-set levels. It is only available to the logistics section Sanitäter in the early war 1940 era levels.
=Revolvers=
Likely due to the game's limitations (as its parent game Squad currently features only magazine-fed and belt-fed weapons, with the sole exception of the Mosin-Nagant M91/30), the Model 1873 and the Nagant M1912 are treated as if they are "magazine-fed" weapons; meaning that regardless of how many rounds the player fires, it will always be reloaded with 2 and 4 rounds respectively on non-empty reloads. The same goes with the tube-fed shotguns also featured in this game.
One notable detail is that the player always cocks the hammer upon equipping the Webley revolver, the Colt M1917 and the Mle. 1892, remaining cocked until it is fired. However, if the player reloads the weapon while having ammo and the hammer remaining cocked, it will suddenly be uncocked once the reload animation starts.
==Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873==
Most classes for the French 21 Regiment d'Infanterie have the archaic Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 revolver as an issued sidearm. It is referred to as the "MAS Mle. 1873" in-game.

==TERA Type 2==
The last variant of the Arisaka rifle series is the Arisaka Type 2, known as the "Type 2 TERA Arisaka" in-game. But unlike other Arisaka rifles, this particular rifle isn't currently issued to any of the Japanese classes in the game, though it may be planned for a future update.
=Self-Loading Rifles=
==FG 42/II==
The German Fallschirmjaeger has a distinct "FG-42 Schütze" class equipped with the second pattern FG 42/II, known as the "FG 42 Modell II". The combination of the muzzle brake and buffered stock results in surprisingly good recoil control even when shooting offhand.

==Winchester Model 1897==
The Winchester Model 1897 from Beyond the Wire returns in Squad 44 following the December 2024 update, retaining its name. Being a direct port of the weapon, it presents a few notable issues. As mentioned in the revolver section of the page, it is reloaded as if it is magazine-fed due to engine limitations, having the same non-empty and empty reloads regardless of how many shots. It also holds 3 shots in the tube, even if the empty reload animation depicts it being reloaded with 6 shells (including 1 chamberloaded). Also likely due to the fact that the reload system is shared with magazine-fed weapons, the player is able to fire a shell directly after a reload without working the pump. It can also be attached with a bayonet, similiar to most other weapons.
==Winchester Model 1912==
The Winchester Model 1912 in trench gun configuration was added alongside with the Model 1897 from the Decemeber 2024 update, for the upcoming The Pacific Front chapter, intended for the US Marine Corps Sapper class.
