Let me drop some truth bombs.

Squad is the best mix of realism, scale and accessability you can find in the tactical shooter genre.

Let's be real here, public Arma 3 is fucking awful. It's mainly shitty gamemodes like autism life or Survival mods. If you want to play Arma as something remotely realistic you need to join a group with a modpack thats often 30gbs big, needs to be kept up-to-date and usually groups only have an event once a week.
Drop in and play is simply not a thing here.

Insurgency and Day of Infamy barely count as tactical shooters considering that their scale is similair to that of larger cod maps, and simply having a low TTK doesn't make them tactical shooters.

Project Reality, while good, is literally on life support and rarely has more than 400 players, which means not more than 4 full servers. Right now PRSPY says 218 players online, that's almost nothing considering it's free. Squad costs 40$ and has 1200 players with a 2.8k peak.

Red Orchestra 2 is pretty good, but Rising Storm 2s launch is fucking shite with bugs all over the place, only 5 maps intended for 64 players and many people don't like the new Supremacy gamemode. There is a reason that it's playercount is now on par with squad a month after launch.

Squad is still in Early Access, already has 10 maps with an Estionian city map releasing probably next month and Fallujah in development. 4 Factions are already in.
It has good pacing and a fantastic voice system.
Some like to meme that Squad barely is a milsim, but stuff like backblast simulation and needing a forward observer for effective fire support ironically make it more complex in that regard than vanilla Arma 3.
They have already shown ATGMs and new RPGs, helicopters and AA guns, tank scans from museums aswell as a lot of stuff for the british forces. Add to that the new animations, vaulting and zeroing, Squad is going to be in a fantastic state by the end of the year.
