List of things/ways people get killed

[Grump/Gump.45]

To be edited and expanded. Top things that get people killed

1.) Running past hidden friendlies

2.) Sitting still while being shot at

3.) Firing for too long without moving

4.) Being isolated under fire as a perfect distraction without support from friendly to kill for you

5.) Moving forward without somebody using you as bait to save you, nobody covering movement

6.) Bunching up, everyone digging on one thing, not being in "1 man hit per tank shell spread"

7.) Not taking cover

8.) Complacency

9.) No Security

10.) Not expecting to be attacked, not being mentally ready

11.) Not using camouflage

12.) Stand out the most drawing the most attention, others not sharing the responsibility of distraction of firing and moving to grab enemy attention

13.) 4 Tanks + 4 APCs + jeeps and logis not working together in view of objective with defensive super FOBs that can also send projectiles into enemy objective, not maxing out all possible support with MAXIMUM weapons, skills, firing procedures to control enemy (Combat Techniques of Fire), time/amount of eyes scanning different directions etc.

14.) Not noticing enemy due to not scanning aggressively for anything suspect, not checking peeking pixels with bullet tap to see if it dies or hides.

15.) Not using pre-fire to dominate, making a situation only 50/50 chance of survival with accurate fire without suppression as door is sliced, bushes approached. Send rounds into the door, every new angle cleared gets a bullet till enemy hit. Buddy team needed, 1 man pre-fire, 2nd covers his reload if mag expended before all angles cleared. Save grenades.

16.) Not going prone with legs towards explosions

17.) Armor not sweeping bushes/tree lines/other camouflage/berms/corners/windows/rooftops with all armor COAXs firing when dominating with all tanks and intel superiority reporting off enemy armor sound directions. Armor not in view of each other as a mutually supporting booby trap, if having multiple defensive super FOBs, armor adding onto separate positions for TOW/AA/HMG support from super FOBs and of objective. Using view distance fog to advantage.

18.) Not using the 1 man hit per tank shell spread. 1 man hit per tank shell, make the tank miss and use more than 8 shells to kill a full squad.

19.) Lining up behind each other in formation making a sweet shot for multiple within a machine guns sight width.

20.) Not locking down the air with Anti-air alarms, not using full potential of any tactics. But with AA, not wasting enemy flares, not using the alarm as a weapon, not using distanced mutually supporting anti-air by being in view of each other.

21.) Not doing 1 man per piece of cover, move cover to cover, in view of each other to save each other, 1 man hit per tank or artillery shell formation. Be bait for each other and use each other as bait, be too many to kill as infantry and vehicles. Divide the enemy fire and attention.

Scan aggressively with eyes, ears and probing projectiles into uncleared areas of cover and concealment for anything suspect peeking or hidden. Sweep and double sweep aimed height of a man, probing recon by fire to make enemy think they are spotted.

Dominate through firepower. One big booby trap as a brigade that protects each other. TANK + APC + IFV + Anti-air vehicles/infantry + tripod ATGM + JEEPS + Trucks + low altitude choppers + CAS =Invincibility

18. Sticking too close together, holding the SL's hands (please stop that, I'm not your mother)

17.) trying to have fun

This doesn't get you killed, it gets you banned.. um..?

[Tim270]

Everyone should take the grump pill.

2.) Sitting still while being shot at

.... Soooo, you gave up on the "play dead"?

[Grump/Gump.45]

.... Soooo, you gave up on the "play dead"?

That is very different from playing dead. I am trying to look like a dead body the enemy won't focus on during engagement or after they win an engagement lowering their guard.

I mean people sitting still while shooting at somebody already shooting at them, make the enemies first shot or all shots miss. When they start shooting at you shoot and scoot, people don't trust or get to know the deviation intimately for each weapon.

The only way playing dead can get you killed before popping up is grenades, explosions, people running near your "dead" body getting shot at. Pick the best location. Otherwise its just enemy checking bodies.

10.) Not expecting to be attacked, not being mentally ready

Meeting engagement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meeting_engagement


In warfare, a meeting engagement, or encounter battle, is a combat action that occurs when a moving force, incompletely deployed for battle, engages an enemy at an unexpected time and place.

Such encounters normally occur by chance in small unit operations, typically when two moving forces collide unexpectedly. Engagements involving larger units may occur when intelligence, surveillance, or reconnaissance operations have been ineffective. Meeting engagements can also occur when opposing forces are aware of the general presence but not the exact location of each other and both decide to attack immediately.

On contact, commanders quickly act to gain the advantage. Speed of action and movement, coupled with both direct and indirect fire, are essential. To maintain momentum, lead elements quickly bypass or fight through light resistance. Freedom to maneuver is always advantageous; however, commanders may choose to establish a hasty defense if the enemy force is larger or the terrain offers a significant benefit. In general, the force that gains and retains the initiative in a meeting engagement wins.

If both sides choose to reinforce their position instead of disengaging, then what started out as a skirmish may turn into a pitched battle, as happened at the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War and the Battle of Mars-la-Tour during the Franco-Prussian War.

I would say one very common mistake people make is to commit to fights they can't win. A lot of times when I have superior cover, settled deviation, better cover etc. an enemy will still stop in front of me and try to shoot me even though he could vastly increase his chances of survival by running to the closest cover.

Another problem on the squad level is when people don't participate in firefights and the whole squad ends up dying as a result. They either get distracted and fall behind the squad, which can be fatal because an 8v8 turns into a 6v8 if two people are somewhere completely different when the firefight starts. Or they do not take enough initiative, instead of moving around to create kill opportunities they are complacent and predictable. And even when we kill some enemies and get the advantage, some people just stand around in the back taking pot shots at the enemy instead of pushing them to exploit our advantage and finish them off. So a 8v6 to our advantage turns into a 4v6 because only 4 of us are actually pushing the enemy while the other 4 are sitting behind.

And this is why people need to listen to SL orders more. They think they know better, because it's much more important for them to kill that one enemy that's 200m away than to move to the mark. Squad cohesiveness suffers and it leads to losing firefights and death.

11.) Not using camouflage

whats that?

[MOSES!!]

Wounded players calling for medic while the enemy is still alive waiting to kill the next unsuspecting player.

[Antonyvg]

Running over a friendly mine has to be top 5 in insurgency for sure.

[WingWalker]

whats that?

He probably means laying in a bush, or in front of an object that is darker or closer to your color.

Though I've never actually witnessed him, in game, do anything but build FOBs.

You mean other than me build FOBs. You mean to tell me, that you have not witnessed, seen my players body use camouflage? How remarkable, its almost like I was using camouflage so that is why you couldn't witness it. 1 man per tree or per bush, my whole squad camouflages.

[TommyFederal]

21). Standing right next to the deploying Assets ex: FOB, EMPLACEMENTS. Spawning air vehicle/ground vehicles.

[Tommygun]

These are some of my regular deaths...

22) Having a grenade in your hand instead of a gun.

23) Not checking your magazine.

24) Having gun set to single fire instead of burst.

25) Not quite getting your grenade through that opening you were aiming at.

26) Getting bounced by friendly vehicles our out of vehicles a little too quickly.

[UncleSmek]

27) Having skill issue
2 Being in POV clan

[Suchar]

29) Being shot at

[Coalz101]

30) Using med/heavy APCs to transport infantry

[CapybaraOperator]

31) Cruising in a dirtbike

[StevenSBarajas]

The main reason according to me is to commit to fights they can't win.
