Your most stressful Role

[Startrekern]

Definitely helicopter pilot. The only role that makes my hands sweat.

I don't know why people say Squad Leader is stressful. It's one of the most rewarding roles to play.

... unless you plan to build an FOB in a certain tunnel on a certain Russia vs Chechen map

I think this depends on the squad, it can be stressful if you're not doing very well, or are under alot of pressure, but if you do well it's rewarding.

I still agree - Heli Pilot is the worst, I flew for my first time on Thursday (Only crashed once! Got shot down 3 times however) and I was physically shaking afterwards (Though this may be due to the temperature of -2... I like to think of it as the adrenaline after successfully landing 3 squads in a VERY hot LZ ).

Likely anything to do with flying however I voted for Heli pilot because its what I do most often. I fly with a joystick as low and as fast as I possibly can every time I go out. The flying isn't stressful, just tedious. You can't blink for a second. Whats stressful is hearing that AA lock, or taking shots, or those desperate sprints to the carrier or the helo pad after taking a hit. I love every minute of it!

1- SL
2- commander (rarely stressful tho, unless you are in a server with good squads that still dont listen, noob squads die too often to be effective so thats a non-stressful point)
3- Soft Skinned Vehicle Gunner (when sh1t hits the fan, your the one everyone targets and the less protected, god forbid you heat-up your gun and everyone starts screaming, cover fire cover fire)
4- Medic... (beeing a medic under fire is also very stressful, because you dont have your gun out and have to rely on the screaming "MEDICCC!" bitchs to protect you)
5- Transport chopper pilot, when in maps like muttrath your team loses all flags, enemy has 3 AAs setup and whole team is at the carrier waiting for transport... if you get shot you get flammed (and banned, if you happen to be in HOG server)

I suck at flying usually. So, when i accidentally crash... well, you know.

[Georgerulz111]

I think flying a jet is one of the most (if not THE most) stressful roles in PR. The jets can make or break a round on kashan and when you hear that lock on tone or hear that enemy jet swoop past you the adrenaline gets pumping.

why are you flying if you are bad with it?

I never felt stressful while being SL but that is most probably because I always play with my buddies where cursing and complaining is a normal routine

[archerfenris]

Nothing more stessfull than trying to get a bunch of SMers to STFU, stop making suggestions, stop all 5 of them from talking at once, and shoot your damn weapons.

[goguapsy]

SL is stressful, but when you do a good job its the most fun u can get on PR.

[jbgeezer]

SL is a really stressful role, but working with "expensive" equipment such as fighter jets, and attack helicopters can be just as stressful. It's even more stressful when you know that the troops on the ground not only counting on you providing air support, but also keeping it up and running.

[anglomanii]

i definitaly find the SL as the most stressfull job, to do it rifgt takes alot of work and to do it right and still have fun, thats very hard to acheive.

[Su34]

Well, for me the Medic is a really stressful role. Of course, SL is hard as well, but beeing medic when the enemy is atacking thats something totaly different...

Especially with Mumble, because everyone needs medic and crys for your

[TheOldBreed]

haha love how n00b is a role

gotta be squad leader for sure, specially if your squad sucks c==3

Especially when your squad is surrounded in a firefight, and a squadmate whines about me not getting to him fast enough, even though I would probably be killed if I attempted to revive him. That is more irritating I guess. I hate it when teammates tard rush the enemy and expect to get an instant revive from the nearest medic.

[LeSwe]

It has to be pilot.

When dropping crates, extracting and inserting people: They really REALLY expect a great job by you or they get mad. Just like crashing or getting shot down with a helicopter you will see on the chat box: ''OMFGZ WE LOST A HUEY!''

[mattrne]

I think Humvee Gunner is quite stressful role, if its about Your life, and You also cover Your time inside. Hostiles might be everywhere around so You gotta stresfully spin and seek enemies. Do You f.e. remember Black Hawk Down ? Tight streets, contacts on rooftops...

And SL i also stressful a bit, 5 men depend on You, but if You are born leader You will find it as pleasure, not stressing thing

And also all Pilots' roles cuz its expensive and if someone sees You crashing heavy machine... a noob feeling

[Ironza]

Not on the list, but Medic.

Opposite to some people, gunning, be it in a tank, manning a 50.cal or the minigun on the chopper, that's my field of work.

Or maybe the LMG.

[Marshall]

Definately Commander.
Squad Leadership comes fairly easily and I don't class it a fail if the team loses, because usually my squad is miles ahead of the team. I can kick uncooperative players if I like, but usually I can keep a squad in order and objectives are done to the best of our ability.
As a commander, you cannot kick uncooperative Squad Leaders. bad ones do nothing for the team, attempt to relay orders through you to other squads, disregard your intel and then blame you when they get wiped out and then have the gumption to demand that they get use of the area attack.

[ludwag]

I can do a maximum of 3 rounds as a squad leader before I am out of energy. It is so stressfull.
