I lol'd at helicopter passenger. I have to admit I take some joy out of scaring my passengers, especially when it's my clanmates and buddies. Kekekeke

Like most of you I believe that the sl is the most important, and annoyingly tedious role. If your firing at the nme without marking them for your squad first, you are not a good sl. q, up, and left click = instant spatial awareness for your squad = win.

I think the medics have a stressful job, specially if the whole squad calls for medic :shocked:

I think sniper (the good one, that knows what his roles are) is also quit demanding. You need to scout, pick your targets successfully, one shot one kill and need to get out of the area while 2 squads are searching you. But luckily the most of the time you got an guy with an officer kit near you, or you just scout with your rifleman kit.

Or the guy that is leading the squad while he isn't a squad leader, when all squads are full your SL doesn't have a mic and your mates are screaming for a leader. Very frustrating.

I tend to avoid commanding and squad leading in most cases (I'd rather be focused on staying alive and killing the enemy than standing out in the open barking orders and gettin ff'ed in the back of the head).

Other than that, Driver is pretty stressful. It's as if gunners are either outright blind, or too busy looking the opposite direction while the enemy is lining up for a HAT shot on you... Most of my gunners seem to think two dimensionally as well (they never look up at rooftops or at the sky for helicopters). They're also fond of wasting ammo (using up 20 rounds of ap on 1 friggin guy is a bit overkill). They can't learn to fire in bursts with mg or coaxial either and spent 3/4 of the time overheated...

In all honesty, it seems more enemies succumb to being squished under the tracks of my 70 ton tank than falling victim to my gunner that's too busy playing pocket pool with himself...

And yeah, Medic can be pretty annoying. Especially someone walks out in the middle or the street into a 20 man firing squad, and spams voip, whines, and moans for you to run out in the middle of a hail of bullets to revive his sorry ***...

Or you manage to waste precious time getting to someone just so they can give up when you're 10ft away.

Or your squad runs off and leaves you defenseless while you pick someone up, then complains that you're falling behind and why you got killed while you were all by your lonesome self.

I'd rather play as a Chaplain class than a medic. Just wonder over to bodies, say a few prayers, tell them "you're screwed, too bad", then move on.... =P

Medics are crazy and therefore dont know stress as they attempt to stab people back to life while being shot at from all over.

Squad Leader; is a full time job.
It's so hard to keep control over a six man squad.
It's just so much easier to receive an order; and execute it!

Jet Pilot was my most stressfull role, always afraid to loose the aircraft by enemy jet or AA, but now (almost!) nothing brings me down ... now my most stressfull role is Squadleader, i prefer to take place as Squadmember receiving orders is so much easier then giving orders :P

this, SL is definitely one of the hardest roles. You have to keep track of everyone in the squad and try to be successful at the same time.

I can see Heli or Jet pilot as very stressful too, as AA and enemy planes are always scaring you

Mine is piloting the Helo.

LOL, PR has surprisingly many stressful moments, most commonly flying a heli filled with 6 friendlies, and all their lives depend on you.

Being a squad leader can be kinda' stressful, but it's not too bad if you're chill.

But I remember being an AT man on the back of those open-humvees, and my squad depended on me to hit this enemy technical or we would be dead. I kept missing, and everything just yelled at me the whole time, so it was quite stressful.

However, them most stressful thing ever to me was being the gunner for the Israeli APC. My squad leader was very aggressive and strict, and he screamed at me as a gunner to pay attention and never stop swerving the turret. As the APC rolled into Gaza City, the whole time I was just non-stop swerving, and it was not a fun experience. I'm usually used to passively manning the gun, occasionally swerving around to spot for enemies and engaging whenever there are contacts, but I was swerving the whole time, and the situation was very tense.

Lol, it doesn't really sound stressful, but it was.

Alot of simple things can be stessful at times. I had to drive a vehicle for the first time ever a couple of days ago. Squad leader told me to drive it and in my head I was like FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU because I had never driven one before in PR. So I get in the humvee, and I have to pick up 2 more squadmates, well I get one, and I'm sitting here yelling at the other squadmate to get in the humvee, while waiting, we get bombed by a MiG. I refuse to ever hop in the drivers seat now.

The few times I was a squadleader I wanted to shoot myself. Maybe it was just my luck, but it seemed like I got the squad of misfits that couldn't be controlled. One example is one day on Muttrah, I knew the position of a MEC sniper, so I decided to be a ninja and move up to go knife him. I told my squad to take cover in the building and watch my back. Instead, my automatic rifleman follows me up, sees me knifing the sniper, somehow thinks I am in danger, and just randomly starts spraying from the hip. Well, I die, and my corpse falls off the roof into the street :roll: .

Basically I can't be an SL because I can't handle leading people around. No matter what something usually goes wrong.

Anything else that involves the lives of multiple men or a vehicle worth many tickets (especially the two put together) like pilot or driver usually doesn't fly well with me either, I just hate being yelled at for a big screwup, even if I couldn't help it.
