So I come back to PR after quite some time and join a server, which I will not name.
Full server, 9 squads, can't make my own so I decide to join a clan squad with 2 clannies in it which I won't name.
I ask them what's up and what kit they want, they say we're just defending and whatever kit is fine. Very bad sign there already but okay.
Then they decide to attack and I give them some pointers on what to do.
I get replied with "You wanna go to Hotel 7 and look at some trees?" etc.
Okay so they insist to run head on into the capzone and get murdered due to the enemies having their shit together and our team all being in one spot, fine.
We get to a treeline near the cap station and me and the SL get killed.
SL blames the enemy and our team, "I can't play the game right now" etc. and I give some pointers where the fire came from.
Probably bad luck, I was messing with my controls not paying attention so it happens.
Medic comes in, tries to revive us with low hopes, get's shot. SL blames our APC for not doing anything useful.
After we spawn in I suggest them that either they start actually moving in a smart way, flanking etc. or they let me lead.
The SL tells me "Do you even know how good I am at this game?" and I ask him if he's kidding, he says no.
The switch in my head goes off.
I've run into the *********.
I try to explain to them that yes, my squad leading could probably win us the game because we would get FOB's up to good positions, other squads would follow suit etc. and I get kicked from the squad.
I come back and ask if they're kidding, they tell me to make my own squad etc.
I just say fine and leave, I'm not dealing with this.
I got confident in my squadleading by listening to better players giving me advice when I was squadleading, if they can't do the same then they're not up to be a squadleader.
They just want to stick with their little 2 man clan and bash on the team, apparently.
For reference, last game I played yesterday, I suggested the SL lets me go out into the city we were defending and do my thing, which is aggressive foot recon ie: killing whole squads before they get to my squad.
He says no, but the squad was so composed and all had mics etc. so I said fine, you call the shots.
I follow with them and spot an opportunity to go out of the mosque we were in and prove my worth, so to say.
I'll check out outside and be back in a minute I said.
Full enemy squad dead later, SL said "You're doing a good job, keep doing whatever you're doing." and through me covering their East flank completely from any enemy even getting in, they could do what they want at the mosque, which was armor hunting and directing out IFV's fire. We also did a hit and run on an enemy FOB with a Humvee and they destroyed it with their own artillery, hah. GG's were had and so on.
That is when an SL recognizes that his original plan does not work as well as a squadmate's, and that the squad is competent enough to adapt. The squad I was in right now was not led by that kind of SL.
So, what do you do when the whole team is seemingly full of "Noooo, I'm the best player
!" SL's?Just leave like I did?
