Your most stressful Role

[JohnnyTheIED]

Wihtout a single moment of hesitation:

Arty IED and or Miner on Fallujah and Gaza. Especially when its johnny, people expect results lol.

May it be either mining the beach and road on Gaza, setting up multiple arty IEDs ambush on the south palace of Fallujah. You must achieve results because it is often the only chance the team will have at destroying the BlueFors heavy armors when facing capable opponnents.

Without a doubt one of my most stressfull moments in that situation was when the Tank was already behind the south palace on fallujah, I had finally just got ahold of the kit and the ammo truck. Rush my way to the corner, heavy fighting going on. I tell my squad m8s to keep up the diversion and hold the enemy as long as they could as I placed multiple ARTY IEDs on a corner. Running thru light and heavy fire dropping my shells next to a stop sign, then running back to the corner to resupply and do it again.

I did that 3 times, then got in the pick up, called in the blast on the chat.

*Clear killzone, blast radius 150m, Fire in the hole... Fire in the hole*

Suddenly all firing stops, few seconds of silence then a big boooom followed by several dust mushrooms.

The target was the armors next to the palace, little freebie was a hummvee running for my corner. Many cheers can be heard on the chat, My squad spotters are laughting their asses off.

When I go for damage assessment, hummvees, APCs and bodies scattered all over the place. lol

Once I got both merkavas on the beach of gaza, huge IDF operation forcing into the beach, had to wait a good 25 mins for them to get on the killzone, watching from a rooftop, taking fire. There was 4 arty IEDs spreared out 20 ft from each other all over the kill zone, lol.

P.S: Squad leading shouldnt be stressful, if you stress while you lead you shouldnt lead at all. Leadership isnt something you learn, its instinct. I cant remember how many times I got stressed out SLs who shouted at their people instead of doing their job. Blaming squad members for their personal failure at commanding a unit.

While in other instances, I often get formidable leaders who know what they are doing, stay calm even in the most intense situations. Thats the guys whose orders you follow without hesitation. You know that if you get your job done, and other members do as well, everything will go as planned.

Without a doubt the best quality of a squad leader is the ability to stay calm at all times. Think it thru and give understandable and effective orders. The fact a squad members doesnt do his job properly is often due to the fact he didnt receive proper advice and orders. It is a SLs job to understand what his cards are, and how to play them.

Commanding an IHS with TG.

Man... those three hours were tense! But the two weeks of planning was even rougher.

Fun times.

[Arc_Shielder]

I've only been playing BF2 R for the past 3 weeks so I don't know if my scarce experience is a valid opinion. However, if I had to pick one would most likely be the trans pilots for their ungrateful and stressful role. SLs come next.

[Shovel]

heli pilot, because NO, i will not put you on the tower across from the fortress on mutrahh, you sniper

[Tarranauha200]

CAS huey pilot, my hands were shaking all the time .

[Wicca]

If your a retard, and a newbie at the same time. Like myself. Things quickly get veeery stressing, people barking orders, explosions and stuff. Not very calm.

[***LeGeND K1LLER***]

team leader 100%

[Muffins]

no doubt about it...commander...

want an early death? go commander....like it..but you have to get ready as much as possible before putting yourself in that role...

get your snack, take a pee break, make a coffee and a bottle of water wouldnt hurt either..

basically your are looking at 2-3 hours where you cant take a break..

I love this

Hi everyone. I'm bored at work so I decided to put up this poll for discussion. What Role in a PR game do you think gives you the most stress and incentive to win?

For me it would be prolly the Tank Gunner as the Tunnel Vision of the tank does not making spotting easy and the slower turret rotating speeds makes it hard to do a 180 so when my Driver is screaming at me that he spotted something and I cant see it... I really feel stressed out. Or when we are getting locked.

My second would be.. obviously. Transport Heli Pilot

sl,team member,commander,armour gunner,armour driver, heli pilot, heli gunner, jet pilot, soft skin vehicle driver, soft skin vehicle gunner, Smacktard

Just FYI ... Squad member category covers all kits,classes since all of them have a responsibility to the squad and the team as well.

armour gunner. defending a bunch of guys in your APC while looking at teh battle through a soda-straw can get to you especially on insurgency

[Imchicken1]

Heli pilot. It can get very difficult when several people need a ride at the same time when they're spread out on the map, or want to go to different places

[Punkbuster]

Heli and Jet pilot...
By heli, I meant attack helicopter... I will always be afraid to get shot down, because I will make our team lose a good number of tickets and everyone will be whining on the team chat about it...
So yeah, its stressful, whenever I hear a lock on sound, or stay too much in the open, I get stressed.

[Pronck]

I actually want to change my choice from pilot to Insurgent (I know you can't choose it) as you are more responsible to get succes with your tactics then with blufor since most of your vehicles are destroyed easily etc.

[TheComedian]

Attack Helicopter pilot is most stressful for me. And, the most enjoyable when a plan works out.

The adrenaline rush I get when I'm dogfighting another attack chopper is second to none.

[Mikemonster]

Why isn't Sniper on there?

HAHAHAHAHA yeah sorry couldn't resist, I was, of course, joking.


Squad leading is by far the most stress for me, a mixture of secretary, primary school teacher, tactician and cartographer.

But when it comes together it's all worth it.. Although the enemy ALWAYS choose to move on just before you've got your squad to patiently bring their guns to bear and let deviation settle.. Grrr...

[Pvt.LHeureux]

Jet pilot. Because you know that you need to land one day...

[goguapsy]

But landing is so easy! I mean, I went to MeRk Air Training server, took off, landed. 1st time flying jets in PR.

Lawl!

[Gracler]

Squad Leader

You are expected to babysit the other 5 people who joined in. If you don't talk constantly your members will eventually drift off doing there own thing not supporting the squad.

You have to listen and act on all the chatter (voip and text) from your squad mates and the commander(and people on mumble which often makes it worse

You have to check your map more often.

You have to be a psychologist in order to deal with the random people that joins your group to make them work as a team. (or kick them if they are useless or work against you)

[MoshPanda]

My thought are Trans Heli and Skinned Vehicle Driver WITH FULL SEATED when u blow up or crash its kinda depressive also ur fellas
