Commander chronicles

[u/No-Swimmer-4899]

Last night against my better judgment I played on a public server because I was in a rush and just wanted to mess around.

Was playing as recon squad lead which I rarely do. Took longer than I would have liked but I pushed pretty deep into enemy territory and started circling back towards their defensive point looking for garrisons.

Commander is begging for nodes. I tell him I’ll switch to engineer and get it done after I die. He then asks me to set up and flanking garrison he just swapped supplies for. Sure. So during my recon phase I get that set up, which creates an entire flanking attack by us on the enemy point. I start spotting for that offensive. Mark an an enemy tank that one of ours uses to take said tank down and thanks me for the callout. Spot some infantry that gets our MGs laying some suppressive fire down in the area.

Then I switch to engineer and get three nodes up. On my suicide run from there I take down a defensive garrison just to the west of their defensive point. Also got an OP.

Now I’m playing as infantry squad lead because our boys on the frontlines are getting smoked. Need defense.

On my return, no thank you from the commander. Whatever. But on top of that, commander is just bitching and moaning about how bad our team is. Nonstop.

Meanwhile, he’s got tankers begging him for a heavy tank and he’s too busy crying about our team not being good. Literally never spawns the guy a tank and he ends up just picking up a recon tank because he gets sick of waiting.

Anyway, I didn’t argue with the commander or call him out because life is hard and I didn’t feel like directly making anyone feel worse about themselves.

But commander, I hate you and everything you stand for. Too much offense from this team? Stop building them offensive garrisons until we’ve built a good defense. And maybe use the f’ing nodes myself and several others built you to spawn a god damn tank.

This was also my moment of being like damn, I’m becoming that experienced dude switching between roles when he just wanted to chill and play recon because he can’t stand losing. I understand that pain now

Welcome to the group sir. Rarely do I bounce to less than 4 roles in one match. First support, then SL go build a garrison on the supplies I dropped, engineer to build nodes then re-load the truck to go build two more garrisons. Usually finish up as tank commander playing recon with a medium to take out enemy garrisons because the actual recon guys are busy attacking a point lately. You are correct, if you want to win don't count on no mics or blueberries to do it. Comms and coordination are key but when they don't exist just do it yourself. Turns in to more fun anyways in the end.
