Tank gunner, on every tipe of map.

More stressful when you have to squad lead because nobody else will squad lead, tank gunning is the most exciting and the best stress reliever for me.

I forgot your video card. Really PM me or call me, I can't remember if I gave you my number or not.

Haha, don't fret it. You could just bring it with you to the USGP in November and give it to me there.

Transport helicopter pilot. The amount of "oh shit" guilt I feel if I accidentally crash with passengers is unbelievable.

I'd have to agree with Yankee although the amount of trust u gain within yourself and others when they know youre trying ur best and u get them there in one piece. But I've noticed over the years that I've had a lot of trouble with the AT kits. It's not really your call to shoot whenever and whatever you want and it tends to get people upset when you do so. I'm not trying to be a noob but I just get frustrated when I try to use these kits and it doesn't work out. It's sort of like Helo flying, when it doesn't work out its terrible but the benefits are there when it does.

Funny Konfusion, what I hate is to see friendlies failing with kits then asking them to pass the kit to me, then having success with it. Like if I was saying "lulz u suck I'm good"

Just for this reason it is tied with Squad Leading.
The other day, I just took off from Muttrah Docks with a full passenger load... Kicked for missing Key Packets. Luckily the people in the server were good humored and you could hear them all laughing in Mumble as the Huey fell towards the ground. (Luckily I wasn't that high up, so I believe the Huey and the people may have survived).

The hardest task for me is definitely squad-leader. It can be great fun, no doubt, but it's very stressful when people don't obey at all or don't think abit by themselves.

Squad leading a bunch of kindergarden kids, who do not listen.

I just cant play with players who do not listen. Where you have to repeat every other order. Keep them in line and look over you shoulder every 2 min to make sure they are actually doing what you ask of them.

Typical situation:

A and B supress the mark. C and D follow me, we are going to flank.

Sl moves out. 30 secs later, finds himself alone, having his whole sqd stay put anyway. Not firing a shot because they cant see any one to shot at....

sigh....


quit game.....

Being a squad leader isn't the problem in my experience. Having to communicate with the other squads and atleast trying to get things organised is what drives you nuts! Hate unorganised games!

If your squad members are doing what you are telling them I guess there is other things that is annoying

logi truck driver is actually pretty stressfull having EVERY SINGLE SL whine and ***** about crates but i voted heli pilot because my computr lags so much i can only fly on barentz invasion

I have always had the issue as a squad leader of people NOT responding in an orderly time. I like to drop fobs and move out and they like to climb buildings and pretend not to hear me. It's such a drag when you are trying to make a difference. When we play in Muttrah, my home town, I could safely guide a kit-less squad from mec fort to Docks and back

I would say it can be prety stressful being hat/lat guy surrounded by enemy armor and your whole sq/team is waiting your shot

HAT/LAT kit user in a SQ, when you miss the one and only shot your heart stops beating.

When I voted years ago, it seemed to be chopper pilot.
But this is quite easy now for me.

What is most stressful, and most important role in PR, is the Squadleader's role.
Without good INF-SLs the round is lost from the beginning.

Nothing is worst in a game when there is no specific INF squad with a good leader, because no one fights for objectives then and round will be over after 30 minutes.

Also holding together a full public squad, with people never played before, is pretty difficult.
Keep them together, communicate, work together, not running off. You need kinda presence, alpha animal, to command a squad successfully.

It is, for sure, heli pilot. I mean if you crash they all go noooob .... which is not always the case!!

I dont play PR much anymore, but when i do, I mostly play commander. And nothing is harder than leading 9 skilled squads. I am totally exhausted after every round. 3 full infantry squads, 3 vehicles, mortar, recon, heli trans, CAS. All of them communicate with you, and you are responsible for your orders and actions.

Especially if you start loosing and need to push the enemies back again. If you see your INF dying because the vehciles were not positioned correctly, or when a SL cries for support and your support inf squad dies on its way because you let them land in on a hot LZ.

You are non-stop communicating to 9 squad leaders, organizing defenses and attacks, and do lazes for the CAS or overwatch your INF.

Thats the reason why we invented a secondary commander who helps me out, uses the UAV, does lazes, communicates via mumble to all non-QRF public squads and receives all reports about enemy positions. My role is to lead all of them based on the information our recon squad and my co-commander gives me. So don't wonder if you see some guy named Spook idling in main in a locked one-man squad on our server. This guy is the reason why you will win the round ;D

wow you didn't even include medic. Everybody wants one but are reluctant to grab the kit. Sign of the times in PR

Any commanding role. It takes skill in leadership to get that ragtag group of players to work together and win. Always under pressure to keep going, keep fighting, keep leading. Big pressure from both superiors and your subordinates to get the job done right, since it's not just your life on the line.
