Medic and SL are the most stressful. But the most stressful is SL cuz of responsibility, I think, since he gets all the flaming if everyone or some in the squad die and then they rage quit as a plus.

Squad leader, I used to be good at it when I played a year or 2 ago, but now I just find squad members randomly going around, I always feel like I should be doing something else/more important. Any just waiting around for me as a squad leader seems like I'm doing something really wrong. Or sometimes **** hits the fan and people die/get mixed up and it just seems like a mess for a few minutes when in a battle.

I would say the Jet Pilot is the most stressful, because if you have a tank. you risk the aircraft, but you are they key asset in helping the infantry advance should they not have tank support, or an AT kit. But it can also be the most boring since you only have two enemy jets to take out. Once they are out, if you don't have anything to bomb, your pretty much just flying for observation and spotting, or at 3,000+ ft

Without a doubt, squadl leader is most stressful

Reason: I am a very good shot with a rifle, but i often find i rarely get the chance to use it as i am always to intrested in what everybody else is doing, where they are, what they are shooting/doing and if they are behind any cover. If not i try to correct them and place markers where i wa....

AR , In a great round on Fallujah West. I was an AR and it was really stressful to take out hordes of enemy insurgents to prevent them to overrun you defensive positions. That round I got nearly 30 Kills, 4 Deaths and lots of points. And I took 2 Caches with ma Ult1m4t3 L4$0R................................. If your weapons could overheat I would have a curved or exploded barrel, lots of blisters and burned hands. And I didn't knew that Insurgents could run so hard!

I have to go with SL too. When I have people waiting on my go my brain shuts down. All my "good" ideas come when I'm being a backseat SL.

I would have said Commander but I have found very few games where people follow orders enough to be effective.

In order for the top 3, Commander, Squad Leader, then anyone doing Spec Op in a team of 2. Leader roles require a lot of keeping tabs on people and having to deal with idiots, the Spec Op role is just stressful because you know you're in enemy territory and at any second an enemy squad could swing around the corner and kill you.

I would have to say SL as well. Because you're trying to be effective and making the round enjoyable to your squad at the same time.

Helo pilot comes second for me because I'm responsible for the Helo and squad riding in it.

Squad Leader no doubt. I'd like to be a squad leader and I know I'm good tactician (not so good leader), but in gameplay reality your squad members put a lot of pressure on you and your tactical/strategic ideas kind of disappears under that pressure. It was easier in old days when you only had to place your men in strategic positions and didn't have to talk so much. Nowadays squad members are more demanding IMHO.

For me the medic role is the most difficult. Sometimes I get squad members saying "HILE where the *@@#(@) are you?!" when im trying to fix up another squad member. Or sometimes bodies are on some sorta hill and they just wont get revived. And it seems like snipers really like me above everyone else in my squad. But its still a load of fun I love iron sights and healing ppl up

+1 on that m8 i started 8 weeks ago and usually i do the dirty job of medic but i love the games so i will play whatever is needed and there ain't allot of medics

squad leader is most stressful because PEOPLE DON'T LISTEN !!!!

voted squad member, but the most stressful thing in pr for me are the exploiting of the popup and shoot, and the shoot someone in the face but they don't die, but kill you instead. and the all time favorite has to be the AK beating US scoped weaponry at distance. rage quit every time on that one lol

oh and dont forget the medics running past you when screaming " medic "

For me it would be a toss up on Squad leading or crewing a Attack Gunship... Flying one of the most valauble assets to a team can be nerve racking sometimes... Especially when people always have such high expectation for Apache's, cobra's, havoks etc.

On the other hand, the most relaxing/chilaxing role in PR for me would be playing as a medic or marksmen.

Its hard to start as any position involving a decision making process that directly affects others. CO, SL, Helo transport, Medic.

All pretty insanely demanding.

I made this post a year and a half ago. How I've changed since then. I don't have a problem telling anyone how to play, what to do, shut the hell up, whatever.

PRT commander. Thats a job that changes your PR style. After you yell at a TS channel with 40 people in it to shut up and listen you kind of lose your modesty and shame.

Still, public SLing with strangers or flying a trans helo is stressful. But I'd update my response now to be COing a PRT team. In and out of server. Stress stress stress. But so worth it.

I haven't even attempted commander - but having a good commander changes the battle entirely. Soo I'll go with SL. Trying to get through hot zone while your squad mates annoy you. "Are we there yet?" "No keep your eyes open for enemys and available cover incase we are attacked" "If I die will you wait for me to catch up?" "Yes, because you are so valueable" (String of what - ifs) "Are we ther-" BLAM BLAM BLAM

Riding in the back of a huey with your entire squad with a cocky or nooby pilot.

I was in a squad when SL disconnected and i got SL by default. Nobody wanted it so I gave it a shot (never played it before)

It was too stressful for me. Commander asking for things, squad yelling out contacts and asking what or where to go. It was too much for me. I do better following orders, not giving.
