Squad Leading is very stressful for me. Managing 5 guys can be a pain especially when I am off my game or we start getting killed left and right. I also hate when someone leaves my squad because then I freak out and see what I may have done wrong or may have failed at too cause that guy to leave my squad. But by god there are moments where I am a badass as a squad leader though they are few and far between.

I would say Jet fighter Pilot:

As many stated... When that lock-on beep coming out of your beautiful bird, all you see is just white/blue, heaven/sky and a very very far a beeping sound that makes you feel that you can't hear your heart beat What happens after is history But I can tell you outcome...

Dead = You breath heavily and starring on your black god damn dead screan telling you're dead, like a rocket in my *** isn't convincing enough

Alive = you're adrenalin rush is like after an awesome sex or like you just jumped of a bridge. Heart is in your brain, brain is even Einstein wouldn't know.

Well many people react differently

Defniately squad leader, whenever I want to play properly, there's always 2 guys that will just have to mess everything up and never listen, just fallow around, ignoring everything I order them or ppl join with marksman kits and say its usefull and then blame me because they got killed at cqb with a marksman kit...

Still new to the mod, so I have not mastered all roles.

I play as a standard rifleman, grenadier, limited rifleman (grapple hook), and marksmen pretty frequently. I do fairly well with most of them.

There have been three or four times I have been forced to be Squad Lead. Either no one created an infantry squad, or the squad leader bailed on us during the game.

It is stressful for me for a few reasons:

1. If no one else created an infantry squad, chances are I got the put on the "runt" team. No one is going to really be interested in working as a team.
2. Trying to get your squad to talk to you is a pain. Seriously, I thought it was a problem when people did not have mics in L4D, but in PR? Come on man! JUST TYPE PLEASE! You try to get a rally going, but no one spawns on it because they aren't listening.
3. I do not know all the good spots for building stuff. I have had trouble getting FOB's up.
4. I don't know how to build anything other than an FOB.
5. I do not really know how to use the squad leader kit to its full potential.

I know tactics, I know when to attack and when to fall back.

The problem I run into is using the kit 100%.

'Limeni[BiH wrote:;1566483']You build everything else the same way you build the FOB. You need two crates for some things, like mortars for example. You can practice buidling and using kits in coop mode. Actually you can practice everything there.

Yes, I will probably do that just to learn squad lead better. I get fed up not being able to find a decent squad, or English speaking squad.

I can see that far too few people have played correctly as a commander.

Keep squad leading, i'm not excellent for reasons i've already stated, but once you learn decent spots for FOBs the workload is reduced by 50% (leaving still a lot, and I still have to pause to come up with a plan of action a lot). But the more you do it the more you spot decent places.

My style is to try and quickly get one up (I see it as my responsibility as a SL), but not fortify it and to then attack (a responsibility I feel to my squad).

It does get easier, just keep learning mate. Make sure you know how to report in targets with the radio too, call in mortars (binoculars ) and how to set up rally points.

You have a good attitude btw.

Stressful?
Insurgent. xD

Mainly trying to get BF2 to run properly..

Sniper ,very stressful situation when you are behind enemy lines ...

I was playing Kokan yesterday, I joined the team and the round hadnt begun yet, server put me on ISAF. I joined the Kiowa squad and selected pilot kit etc - 10 mins into the game and i had already provided fire support to 3-4 squads attacking an enemy FOB. Anyhow after racking up quick a few kills a warning went off and boom, i got hit and span slowly, i made it back to base somehow and thats when it happened, some sneaky ******* was near our base and fired an AT rocket at me, dodged it and fired machineguns into the positition it came from. Quiet.

I repaird and rearmed, when back out for more support requests and the worst thing happened. THE GAME CRASHED WHILE I WAS IN MID ATTACK Striaght to Desktop i went

I quickly rejoin the server hoping to carry on, but no i spawned as Taliban - Ok so i thought lets make the best of this situation, applied for commander role and literally turned the game around and i was wining again. In the middile of defending the last 2 caches right at the most intense part of only having a few mins left before we win CRASH TO DESKTOP >

That was stressful.

TL;DR - Was pilot - Game crashed - Joined as Commander - Game Crashed.

Playing Korengal.

Climbing those damned hills is the definition of stressful

YES. That or punkbuster. I hate punkbuster. punkbuster makes me want to stab people.

Squad Leading mouth breathers is pretty stressful. I don't know how it can be so difficult to track targets I mark then give range and elevations to.

Especially in armor squads.

Flee in terror and then kick idiot.

Has to be a cross between Squadleading and Piloting, if your squadleading the Trans squad, its even better =P

Definitely squad leader. Requires a hell of a situational awareness when playied properly.

I have to say commander. Because whereas for Squad Lead you can kick idiots out of your squad, unless your an admin of the server, you can't kick idiot squads out of the game.
