Covering fire...

I enjoy everything, but I most enjoy piloting the transport helicopters and performing tactical insertions. I love it when I'm able to swing around and drop an entire squad off in a good position, allowing them to work their way in to an objective and capture it. After I drop them off I RTB for repair or pull into a holding pattern to distract some of the enemy on the ground while the squad takes them out. Then when the objective is obtained and the area clear, I pull in at a safe distance and let them move over for extract. In the coming versions I will only land when the SL pops smoke marking a safe landing zone.

Pilots, you should demand SLs pop smoke for you when landing. Otherwise, let them walk.

My favs are definately leading a squad where everyone is doing exactly what is needed. if not leading, being lead by a competent SL is always fun.

I enjoy tanking (although not as much at the moment with armour/infantry balance problems).

Although I almost always guaranteed to end up as squad leader....
Seems everyone else hates that job.

I prefer to be Anti-Tank, as this was my job in the Army.

If I can find a good squad (I've played with Atlanta and db on EJOD a couple times now, and had a blast) then I love being a grunt. If not I'll find my own and sneak into enemy bases to provide a spawn point. That's always fun.

I definitely feel most comfortable with my boots on the ground, working with a squad.
...However, I do have a ton of fun using anti-air, .50 cal MGs, and other defense-type weapon thingies, so I voted covering fire.

Some of the most fun I ever had was grabbing a light attack helo and strafing enemy trenches on Greasy Mullet. I dunno if I did a particularly good job, but god I loved those chainguns

Heh, I really enjoy being a pilot. But I'm not that skilled, so I usually let someone else fly and go as Grenadier, chucking HE and smoke grenades for my squad.

I always enjoy on Maps with aircraft capable of CAS to hop in a squad and call to that Squad Leader he now has a A-10 Fully Loaded for some T-90 whoopin to call for strikes and youl be surprised how many times hel call in a Strike, but if theres no Planes its a Transport Heli and if not i folow my orders from the SL

I like being a squad leader considering the man management it takes and always trying to outmaneuver the opposition. i enjoy the strategy part of it and getting a squad that realizes what teamwork is all about.

Killing, and if i'm infantry. Capping flags. Don't like even being SL. I do enjoy trying to provide covering fire with MG's, usually it's just a distraction whilst someone else can do something else though.

I chose "I enjoy being infantry and working in a squad."
I enjoy being Heavy-AT(L-AT too) and Grenadier the most, but most of the time i choose what is most needed in the squad and that is Rifleman or Medic(or anything else for that matter).
Sometimes i'll be support if it is really needed, and I absolutely love manning the .50

.
I like inserting people with the littlebird too but it's not what I enjoy the most and don't want to dedicate myself to that, so most of the the time i'll leave it to someone else.
I also enjoy gunning(or driving if need be) in any kind of vehicle.

On urban maps I like supporting the armour as an engineer. Repairing, clearing mines, shooting people who sneak up on the tank, etc. It also means I get my favorate weapon!

If there's no armour I like to hook up with an infantry squad and working as a team. Generally I'll be an engy, but if the squad needs it I like going as rifleman, support and light AT too.

Basically if its a map without tanks or not an urban I can usually be found armed only with the biggest gun I can find and a huge grin!

Sniper. Not one of those "lone wolf and not doing anything helpful" ones though. I spot out targets and take down enemy infantry who may casue my squad trouble.

I enjoy being infantry and working in a squad. Mostly medic
