HA your right! Lame I think Allot of us saw the date and forgot the new year.

Transport pilot by far.
If you crash no matter what happens its allways your fault.
SL can be forgiven as people in the squad knows whats happening.
But to kill whole other squad in one instance in a lucky sa7 hit will give so meny "noob/go to training server" -suggestion that even thou I'm a seasoned pilot i rarely fly.

Imagine what it feels like when what you lose takes 2o minutes to spawn, your team is counting on you, and half of them think they are so leet to do it better.

naaah just kidding, although it is stressful I can imagine a fully loaded chopper pilot is having a twice as bad day

The thing about being medic is that it's a lot of sitting with a medic bag and healing someone. Yes, you have people yelling at you to help them, but after a while, you just get used to it, tell them that you're busy, and help them later. It does require a fair bit of situational awareness. I guess I'm used to maintaining high SA, though, which probably also makes SLing a whole lot less stressful to me.

SLing is also a role that isn't constantly stressful. Yes, you have an entire squad to take care of, but for the most part most people can handle themselves in an infantry firefight in PR. The stressful part of SLing in PR is trying to come up with a good way to approach an objective. If you repeatedly fail you varied attempts to assault a flag, for example, you might feel stressed because you're doing a bad job.

Driving a chopper, or, to a lesser extent, crewing a full APC is a whole lot more stressful. This is because one false move on your part, or one minor failure of your connection/computer can mean everyone dies in a fiery wreck, and you get branded the biggest noob to ever set foot in PR.

Which is why I put helo pilot over a SL. Sl gets hit he dies. Pilot get hit Everyone dies.

Yes, helicopter pilot or jet pilot is very stressful. Ur so afraid to lose an asset that takes 20 minutes to spawn.

I would say its less about the losing part than the amount of things you have to do at once/be aware of.

Tank Gunner.


Look at 250.. see it?

No

Now?

No

And now?

No, maybe its your imagination.. hehe


*Kicked from squad*.

Its very hard, maybe he saw a single soldier, lost in kashan, and i dont, so thats the reason of shouting me lol

If you see me in your Tank squad, tell me Be Engineer n00b, cos i suck at driving tanks, its like "Stop STOP STOP!!.. what?"

Hah, I get that when I'm in tank or vehicle crews with people don't know because I can just never freakin' understand them

They're like "Oi mate, grab the trolley and the lederhosen and jump the canuck with the loley olley oxenfrei then twist my nurple, capische?"

Im like "Ehh?"

BOOM.

"Oi, I told ya to shoot that HAT guy! What were you doing?"

:\

smacktards CAUSE stress, they are pretty relaxed themselves

soft skined vehicule gunner, your the most vulnerable player on the entire map when you are on this static (when you are seeking/shooting) high above horizon line

i always stay away from commander spot. But sometimes my decision making is slow and squad leading is demand me

Well, I guess that's true, but when you've flown enough, everything becomes a habit, and you don't have to think too much to react quickly.

the transport heli is killer on maps where the team your on is getting anahalated and its your responsibility to get the freandlys to the front lines.
so basickly, its like its your fualt if you loose becuase you couldent get the men to the front lines

I chose Heli Pilot (Transport/Support).

I love flying, and would say I do it quite effectively, but there is nothing like playing a round of Barracuda to get you setup for the rest of the night. Nothing like having to coordinate 2 other pilots (I limit my Helo Squads to Me + 2), placing move markers for waypoints/vectors, staying in communication with the CO/other SL's for Inserts/Extracts/Supply Requests, or just making sure the other pilots know where the threats are. I dunno why, but I love doing the Air Traffic Control thing, as well as being the guy that actually fly's around on maps like Ramiel and Kashan loading up troops, getting them to the front lines, and getting out.

I've seen Hesky on T&T. Need to make my way over there again.

Heli gunning. I can do a good piloting job, but most others can never seem to follow instructions...

SL not stressful role in my opinion. My SL has many times gone to eat etc. and we have played nicely after that. Though I know my friends who I'm playing with..I've been SL many times too and i don't find it stressful. Maybe if we need to build bunkers in hard places.

Tank driver and gunner are bit stressful but after all tanks spawn fair quickly. Using tank is about luck often, it's just about where hostile tanks decide to go.

Commander is important role but I don't find it stressful. I think commander can be afk for a while, if he tells people about it. Commander is important for launching JDAM and communicating with squads but it's not just commander's job, it's squads' responsibility too.

I'd say jet pilot. There's NO WAY that you can go anywhere for a sec, because landing will take the time always. Choppers can always land if somebody needs to be afk for a little while, but it's much harder for jet. And jet spawntime is the longest. It's not fun at all if you get shot down.

Jets, helicopter gunships, and tanks all have the same respawn timer. 20 minutes.

Plus with jets you can go off the map while checking the map for a reported enemy tnak report on some grid.Or hit the 5400ft ceiling.Almost 1/3 of deads with jets happen like that.

Trans heli pilot just won over SL for me, I tend to find that people obey me as an SL and far that reason we come out near the top of the leaderboard.

With heli piloting, it's a right ***** to find out if the LZ is hot or not.
