Being Medic, so Squad Member
Sometimes it's easy because the people in you're squad will understand that it takes time to heal someone.
Other times I've had 3 people shouting heal me at me at once, but none of them prepared to move slightly to make the job easier. Or I've had the squad leader give me instructions to revive say, the Auto-rifleman first, and then all the other squad members start shouting saying rivive them first
Basically it's one of the few jobs where I've found that there's no way of winning with you're squad most of the time, but that may just be down to my luck with squads

SL... maybe CO if I ever played it.

Defenitely Squad Leader or Helicopter Pilot due to the high ammount of skill and leadership needed.

Heli Pilot...

Helicopters in PR are very unforgiving, one mistake and you cost your team 12 tickets usually.

CO is the least stressful - you're rarely on edge unless you're managing to co-ordinate a specific attack, or air support. Usually I'm sitting back drinking tea, relaxed and co-ordinating Air Support

Recently I have fell in love with commanding. I always have a mic issue, though I fix it everytime. I prepare for this rigorious role of routing communications from one squad to another by smoking a nice bong-full off green.

Sometimes, SL'ing in PR can be exactly like this video....

"Its like having 26 kids i have to watch after"

or (slightly altered for PR)

"if we introduced a IQ testing into the PR player base, we would lose maybe 3/4 to 80% of the playerbase"

DAMN RIGHT! This is exactly what SLing feels like sometimes.

Squad member is stressfull when you have a bad squad leader.

going to say being the new guy is most stressful.
having everyone giving tips, hints, orders, becoming familiar with the game play etc etc, can be a massive overload.
Then add the whole,.. "such a ^%$*'n newb" attitude i see quite often in game and on the forums.
You can go on about reading the manual and all that, but nothing beats experience,.. and nothing beats learning from your mistakes.

Transport heli-pilot is a very close second, not only are you resposible for the asset, but those you are transporting, and without a way to "bail-out" safely when things get really bad,.. they are putting a huge amount of trust in your abilities. Thats a big weight to carry along with the usual "requests" that team mates make

SL and Commander are definitely stressful, but I would put chopper pilot as number one.

Simply getting the helicopter from point A to point B is difficult in PR and requires a good deal of practice to get it right, and then you have to deal with AA, lag which can make your chopper crash, people requesting being dropped into hot zones, a team that will almost never give you information about enemy AA but will happily yell at you if your lose the chopper...the list goes on.

That being said, I love flying the helicopters in PR; it's a lot more fun than seeing an enemy, waiting four seconds, killing him, and moving on.
Nothing like doing barrel rolls and flips to dodge missiles when you're out of flares.

I think HAT is sometimes stressful. I usually get nervous when SL tells me to take it because people get upset if you miss your shot and on top of that the target will see you and kill the whole squad.

I'd say armor gunner mainly because I've never been a squad leader or a heli pilot/ gunner

Squad member, there's just so many things the SL's always do wrong.

Has anyone noticed that flying a helicopter almost makes you shit yourself in a hot spot.?

Just look at my sig

But its not your responsibility if it goes wrong

Sometimes is frustrating when you suggest to SL that we go for defend but he insist on keeping on the attack. Only to find out in a few minutes that the old flag was taken and we now have a long way home.

SL is kinda stressful, especially when there is a CO but its also a loads of fun

commander and sql(full squad)...

Heli pilot, especially trans, no form of offensive defence. plus often you try to help a team, but the guys on the ground aren't willing to help back. no intel on AA/APC/tank/attack helis/50cals/HAT but insist on supplies/exfil/infil.


the other stressful thing i find with flying trans is everything is out to kill you and to an extent everything can kill you, even the damn terrain

nevertheless i also find it the most rewarding role that i play, just above AH gunner. It's especially nice at the end of a successful rounds flying to get nice comments of "nice flying" "thanks alot for all the trans"


i also find SL with people i dont know stressful, but wont bore you with the details of that

Commander and sometimes Helitrans.

Especially when you'r the only one left, and this sqaud needs supplies, this guy needs to be taken to a sniperspot...

I love Trans, but somethines it's really stressful

Yeah trans pilot is the most stressfull. The runner up isnt on the list though, it's the passengers of an APC with no windows.
